With this option enabled the local system starts without launching a render engine or offering any outputs.
Rather, a presence.exe can be started on the same system and then used as the local engine for that machine.
This decouples project editing and preview from output rendering on that machine.
In the context of multi-user, the machine can fulfill a “hybrid” role in that, depending on which kind of replacement is needed for a failing machine, either the Director or the Presence instance on the machine can be used as a failover.
If this feature has been activated, a manager backup and a playout backup can be set up in the same way as in the familiar multi-user and backup workflow.
Please find more information about those workflows in PIXERA Backup and Usage Presets and Manager Backup
