As alarms can be raised against modules and at the device level, there is also a dialog box for configuring module
availability.
Module Availability
Get Static Parameters with Configuration
Overview
This step is required to make sure that the Static Parameters for the unit are appropriate for the system. This is especially
important for systems that have moved between 525 and 625 line configurations.
To read the Video Processor Static Parameters, the nCC must be in Live Mode
Ensure that the required profile is running through the appropriate device and module, for a multi-module chassis, route
services through all modules.
Open the device's properties page and the read static parameters.
A dialog box indicating success should be returned.
When the editing has completed, press OK at the bottom of the properties page.
Repeat for all devices.
When all devices are configured within the Equipment Setup, save the Map and upload to the nCC server.
Static Parameter Issues
1. The default line standard within the Video Processor with a new device is 625 line 25Hz. If the unit is not configured within the
device setup to black on spare, then a 525 line 29.97Hz system will report video lock alarms on the spare (or unused)
devices. It is therefore recommended that the static parameters are re-read for devices when they are running a live
profile such that the default settings are appropriate for that system.
2. In the event of a software upgrade to the encoder, the static parameters should be re-read for upgraded devices, to ensure that
there is no mis-match between the XML in nCC and in the unit.
Current recommended procedure for upgrading encoders:
Schedule blank profile and blank map, set nCC off, upgrade encoders, set nCC on, load map, get static parameters, save map,
schedule profile.
