Connecting the Slave Renderer to a Lustre Workstation

The Lustre Slave Renderer is a single render node that provides automatic background rendering on a
shot-by-shot basis. It is available for the Lustre Master Station, the Station, and the HD Station.
NOTE In comparison, Autodesk Incinerator provides in-line" processing by several nodes at once. For more
information, see the Autodesk Incinerator Installation and User Guide.
The Slave Renderer is available for the Lustre Master Station, the Station, and the HD Station, all of which
must be running on a Windows-based workstation. The Slave Renderer is not available for the Linux-based
version of Lustre, since that version uses Incinerator to obtain real-time rendering and playback.
Although the Lustre Slave Renderer uses a standard GigE network connection, it requires the higher-bandwidth
Cat-6 cable, to accommodate the increased data that is transmitted.
