Channel Acquisition Salvos
Another method for configuring the monitoring of channel processor outputs uses channel
acquisition salvos.
Open the MCS Panel Configuration Editor, choose a panel, and then go to the ‘Channel Selec-
tion List’ page:
Fig. 5-41: IiMC-Panel Configuration tool - Channel Acquisition Salvos
For every Imagestore 750 that this panel can acquire, select the channel and specify an appro-
priate Imagestore 750 salvo ID. The ID must be defined in the configuration of the selected
channel.
 Imagestore 750 salvo IDs are numbers starting at 0. The Imagestore 750 salvo IDs map to
NV9000 salvo IDs and it is the NV9000 that executes salvos. The mapping allows a degree of
flexibility.
Each salvo executes a sequence of NV9000 commands. The salvo is responsible for routing
outputs from the acquired Imagestore 750 to the local monitor wall. Typically there is one salvo
for every channel processor at every iMC panel. IF there are 6 Imagestore 750s and 8 panels,
there would be 48 salvos defined.
The main disadvantage of this method is that all existing panel configurations must be updated
whenever a new channel is added to the broadcast facility. It is easier and more scalable to
configure channel outputs in the ‘Monitor Wall’ page.
