I/O Settings
Allows custom names to be applied to card source
inputs and destination outputs. Also provides channel
properties controls and alarm enable/severity level for
each input and output channel.
• Configure Source Setup Individual source name and setup controls for each of the card source
input channels (Src 1 thru Src 8).
• Name: Allows custom name to be applied to input (in this example,
“IRD1”). The custom name then appears elsewhere on all card
controls.
Note: Name field allows a maximum of 8 characters.
• EQ Enable: When checked, provides input EQ correction to
accommodate long cable lengths (default setting is Enabled)
• Alarm Mode: Allows signal absence alarm enable/severity reporting
for each input channel. Choices provided are:
• Ignore: Missing input status for input channel is ignored, no
alarms shown for channel regardless of signal status.
• Warning: Missing input status for input channel triggers yellow
alarm icon for input channel.
• Alarm: Missing input status for input channel triggers red alarm
icon for input channel.
Note: If a source is not intended to be used, make certain its Alarm
Mode is set to Ignore. If this is not done, the card will display
nuisance alarms for unused channels.
• Configure Destination Setup Individual destination name and setup controls for each of the card
destination output channels (Dest 1 thru Dest 4).
• Name: Allows custom name to be applied to output (in this example,
“PlayoutA”). The custom name then appears elsewhere on all card
controls.
Note: Name field allows a maximum of 8 characters.
• Reclocker: Provides reclocking from the choices shown to the left.
• Auto: When Auto is selected, clocking is automatically detected
from the routed source signal with output locking to the SMPTE
format of the incoming input signal. If a non-SMPTE data rate is
detected, reclocking automatically enters a bypass mode, passing
the signal without reclocking.
• SD, HD, 3G: Provides forced reclock modes correlating to the
selection.
Note: Default setting of Auto is recommended in most cases.
• Alarm Mode: Allows signal absence alarm enable/severity reporting
for each output channel. Choices provided are:
• Ignore: Missing output status for output channel is ignored, no
alarms shown for channel regardless of signal status.
• Warning: Missing output status for output channel triggers yellow
alarm icon for output channel.
• Alarm: Missing output status for output channel triggers red alarm
icon for output channel.
Note: If a destination is not intended to be used, make certain its
Alarm Mode is set to Ignore. If this is not done, the card will
display nuisance alarms for unused destinations.
