3.8. Managing the Links with a Video
Router
3.8.1. 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 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 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.
3.8.2. Assigning a Player Destination
Introduction
If a player channel is linked to an IN port of a router, the media loaded on the player
channel is sent to the OUT port(s) of the router associated to this IN port.
IPDirector users with appropriate user rights have the possibility to switch the assignment
between router IN ports and router OUT ports. So, the media loaded on a server player
channel will be sent to another destination as soon as the router OUT port assigned to the
channel has changed. Several OUT ports can be associated to a single player channel.
