When the channel encounters an off-air situation, one of the following occurs:
• If the channel was forced off air and no primary events are available in the playlist, the
configured action in the On Initial Failure list is triggered immediately.
• If no primary event is on air but primary events are available in the playlist, there is a 3
second delay before the configured On Initial Failure action is triggered. During the first
2 seconds of the delay, the last frame of the last played clip remains on air. This allows
time for the channel to resume the playout, if possible. If the channel is unable to
resume playout after 2 seconds, it switches to a black screen for 1 second before
triggering the configured On Initial Failure action.
The On Initial Failure action can be configured to output a black screen, output a live feed,
or output a full-screen slide that announces that the broadcast is off-air. The On Initial
Failure action can activate even in the event of a complete hardware or software crash on
the device assigned to the channel.
If the off-air situation is still not resolved 30 seconds after the On Initial Failure action was
triggered, the action selected in the If Recovery Not Possible list is applied. If a primary
event is pending such as a failed event is being restarted, the card will delay triggering the
If Recovery Not Possible action for up to 30 seconds to allow the possibility of a successful
resumption of the playout.
Grouping channels into a view
A view is a collection of channels that are viewed as a group on the Monitor Wall, Channel
Overview, and Channel Control pages. The configuration for the view determines which
channels are included in the view, which user groups have access to the view, and what
functionality is available on the Monitor Wall, Channel Overview, and Channel Control
pages. The configuration also includes how the timeline is displayed on the Channel
overview page by default and whether or not the secondary events are displayed on the
Channel Overview and Channel Control pages by default.
GV STRATUS Playout provides a default view called All Channels which displays all the
configured channels, but creating separate views provides a quick way to see a targeted
subset of channels. For example, if an operator is monitoring a set of five channels, you can
create a view containing those channels so the operator does not have to repeatedly scroll
through all the channels to locate the ones of interest.
