3. Proxy Storage
Proxy storage is an option that may or may not be used. This option allows D.Live to work in local mode with assets located on one of the external storages. If this option is enabled, D.Live will use the local SSD drive to host the assets from the rundown list and will stream them directly from the local drive. The speed of transferring assets from external storage is limited and does not affect the use of computer resources of the computer broadcasting the program. If D.Live has not had time to transfer the next asset to the local SSD, that asset will be broadcast directly from its original location on external storage.
