8900GEN-SM Applications

Using the Redundant Reference Configuration

Now that the redundancy has been set up and tested, you may continue to
populate this GeckoFlex frame and add video sources to the host modules
in slot 1 and slot 3.

The 8900GEN-SM module is basically independent of its host module but
the video input to the modules hosting an 8900GEN-SM submodule must
match the frame rate connected to the host module rear reference input. if
this reference is configured on the System Config web page. The host
module is not required to use the redundant reference and it may use
another reference as long as it matches the frame rate of the reference input
or is compatible for locking as listed in

Table 1 on page 9

.

If the input video does not match the frame reference connected to the host
module a warning message will be reported and the front module graphic
will be yellow. The Status web page will appear similar to the one shown
in
