3.6. Managing the Links with a Video
Router
3.6.1. Introduction
Video routers can be used with IPDirector to increase the number of incoming feeds
manageable by EVS server recorder channels and/or the number of output channels able
to play out the media from a player channel, depending on the configuration of the
installation.
An EVS server recorder channel will be physically connected to an OUT port of the router,
so the recorder channel records the feed received by the IN port of the router associated to
this OUT port.
An EVS server player channel will be physically connected to an IN port of the router, so
the media loaded on a player channel is sent to the OUT port(s) of the router associated to
this IN port.
When a video router is used with an EVS server controlled by IPDirector, the router ports
routed to the EVS server channels are shown in the IPDirector interface. So, users know
exactly which router IN port is used by a recorder and to which router OUT port a player
channel is routed.
Some configuration is performed from the Remote Installer regarding the communication
parameters and the association of router ports physically linked to EVS server channels.
However, IPDirector users with appropriate user rights have the possibility to manually
switch the assignment between router IN ports and router OUT ports.
3.6.2. Assigning a Recorder Source
Introduction
If a recorder channel is linked to an OUT port of a router, it records the feed received by
the IN port of the router associated to this OUT port.
IPDirector users with appropriate user rights have the possibility to manually switch the
assignment between router IN ports and router OUT ports. So, another record train will be
recorded by the server recorder channel as soon as the router IN port assigned to the
channel has changed.
