Independent Frame Bus Configuration
To use a Primary and Secondary independent frame bus configuration in
your frame you must have the following hardware in place:
•
A GeckoFlex module with an 8900GEN-SM submodule installed in
Slot 1 of the frame. This host module must be jumpered to output
Frame Bus 1 (Primary Reference).
•
A GeckoFlex module with an 8900GEN-SM submodule installed in
Slot 3 of the frame. This host module must be jumpered to output
Frame Bus 2 (Secondary Reference).
•
One other GeckoFlex module with frame sync capability in any of the
other frame slots to set up and test the Frame Bus 1 NTSC reference con-
figuration. For this example, we will use an 8985FS module installed in
slot 10.
•
One other GeckoFlex module with frame sync capability in any of the
other frame slots to set up and test the Frame Bus 2 1080i 59.94 reference
configuration. For this example, we will use an 8985FS module
installed in slot 8.
Web Page Configuration
Follow the procedure below to set up a Primary and Secondary indepen-
dent configuration with the web page controls. Some controls are also
available using the Newton control panel.
This example uses 8985FSP + GEN modules with software version 1.2.0.
Other GeckoFlex modules with this capability will be very similar. Be sure
to consult the host module Instruction Manual for other pertinent informa-
tion and specific configuration information for that module.
Note
For these initial steps, input video is not connected to the modules in slot 1
and slot 3. This can be done later when the redundancy is working correctly.
