Router Configuration in NV9000-SE Utilities
These are the supported partition types, for all other routers:
Video
Audio
Machine Control
Video, Async AES, Time Code
Mono AES, Analog Audio
Machine Control Reverse
Digital Video
Analog Audio
Machine Control Broadcast
Async AES
Machine Control Forward
Sync AES, analog audio
Data X-Y
Some partition types include more than one signal type. Some signal types are represented by
more than one partition type. The partition types do not necessarily mean the same for all
routers.
Mono partitions are structured differently from stereo partitions and can be used differently.
The 4 machine control partition types have different purposes and therefore behave differently.
Artificial Partition Types
UniConfig allows two additional artificial partition types:
•
Monitor
•
Output Follow
MRC also allows a monitor partition type.
We say they are artificial because these types do not define a portion of the router’s crosspoint
matrix, but use UniConfig’s partition table as a convenient way to define router functions.
(Control panel operators can use these levels, even though they are not part of the crosspoint
matrix.)
Router Configuration in NV9000-SE Utilities
An NV9000-SE Utilities configuration includes one or more router descriptions. You can create or
modify router configurations in several places within NV9000-SE Utilities:
•
under the ‘Configuration’ pane.
•
, under the ‘Tasks’ pane.
•
, under the ‘Views’ pane.
•
, under the ‘Views’ pane.
These pages all give you different views of the same data.
You can also view and modify router crosspoints in the ‘System Management’ pane. (The cross-
points are live data. Changing crosspoint data is not configuration.)
You can also produce lists of router ports in varying detail using the
under the ‘Tasks’ pane.
The
, under the ‘Views’ pane, can useful or even necessary to perform some
router configuration tasks.
