Getting Started With Tick-It

Part of the Tick-It system along with the RossVideo Xpression player is a Web and Data server component. For demoing purposes, the web and data server can be installed on the Ross Video BlueBox or player system but if more than 1 concurrent user will be accessing the web based system, a separate server is recommended.
