Remote Configuration
The 8945EDA/8945EDA-D configuration and monitoring can be also performed
using a web browser GUI interface or a networked Newton Control Panel when the
8900NET Network Interface module is present in the video frame (Gecko Flex
8900FFN) . Each of these interfaces is described below.
8900NET Module Information
Refer to the 8900NET Network Interface Module Instruction Manual for informa-
tion on the 8900NET Network Interface Module and setting up and operating the
Gecko Flex 8900 frame network.
Note Upgrade software and instructions for the 8900NET can be downloaded from
the Grass Valley web site.
Newton Control Panel Configuration
A Newton Control Panel (hard or soft version) can be interfaced to the Gecko Flex
frame over the local network. Refer to the documentation that accompanies the
Newton Modular Control System for installation, configuration, and operation
information.
Control panel access offers the following considerations for module configuration
and monitoring:
• Ability to separate system level tasks from operation ones, minimizing the
potential for on-air mistakes.
• Ability to group modular products—regardless of their physical loca-
tions—into logical groups (channels) that you can easily manipulate with
user-configured knobs.
• Update software for applicable modules and assign frame and panel IP
addresses with the NetConfig Networking application.
• Recommended for real-time control of module configuration parameters, pro-
viding the fastest response time.
Note Not all module functions are available with the control panel, such as factory
default recalls.
