Configuring VTR Ingest (VTR)
After you have successfully added the VTR, you should see it displayed in the VTR
Status window with a green indicator next to its name.
Once you have added VTRs, you can modify or delete them. However, if you only
have one VTR displayed in the status window, you cannot delete it and have an empty
status window.
Troubleshooting VTR Controller configuration
If you see a red indicator next to the VTR’s name, try restarting VTR Controller. If
the VTR status still displays a red indicator, verify the following:
• The correct COM port has been specified for the VTR.
• The COM port is not being used by another application controlling the VTR.
• The VTR is turned on.
• The hardware has been correctly installed. For more information, see “Installing
Aurora Ingest” on page 18 .
• The IP address or computer name where VTR Controller is installed matches the
address or name in the VTR Ingest application.
The VTR Controller application is now configured. For more information, see “Using
VTR Controller” on page 97 . Before you can use a VTR with Aurora Ingest, you need
to configure the VTR Ingest application and make sure the VTR information matches
the information you entered when configuring VTR Controller. For more information
on VTR Ingest, see
“Configuring VTR Ingest (VTR)” on page 53 .
