processing path’s input will switch to the back-up input until the main input is back again. In the
Back-up settings you can also force all processing paths to either use the Main input, by setting the
Input Selection to Main, or the back-up input, by setting the Input Selection to Backup.
5.
De-embedders
. On the audio de-embedder side, the Audio Phase setting can be set to
Align
. In this
case, the audio input pairs are sampled and aligned by the phase bit, to ensure that the audio
samples are exactly aligned. This is needed for correct Dolby extraction. Normally this setting is set
to
Align
, except when the audio data does not have the correct z-bit. It can be turned to Off for PCM
audio data.
6.
NMOS Settings
. This turns the NMOS IS-04 IS-05 registry and control On or Off. When set to On, the
Neuron will report itself as an NMOS device and can be controlled as such.
When Dual-leg is set to On, the main and backup input (
Receiver
) and output (
Sender
) streams are
coupled. The stream numbers are also coupled, i.e. 1 is coupled to 17, 2 to 18, etc. When it is turned
off, the main and backup streams are controlled separately. These settings are represented visually
in the IP Video I/O tab.
7.
Input Stream Configuration
. Can be set to On or Off. When clean switching is On, the Neuron will
perform a Make-Before-Break (MBB) on the incoming stream selection, to ensure a clean switch
from one stream to the next. Note that clean switching temporarily generates higher bandwidth
usage, because both streams are active for a moment. The default delay time is 50ms.
8.
Path Options
. With the
Per channel
setting, you can select whether or not a format is used by a full
Path, i.e. four channels. For example if a Format is set for Path A, when Per channel is set to Off, A1,
A2 A3 and A4 will have the same format. If you set this to On, a format can be selected for each
channel.
9.
The PTP profile can be configured in the
PTP Settings
groupbox.
Profile
The PTP profile only supports SMPTE2059, Layer 3, End to End. Setting this to
disabled switches off the PTP logic.
Domain
Sets the PTP IP Domain number. The PTP works only in its assigned domain
number. The range is 0...128.
Clock 1 Priority
Specifies priority 1 for the clock, in the range of 0 to 255. A numerically smaller
value has higher priority.
Clock 2 Priority
Specifies priority 2 for the clock, in the range of 0 to 255. A numerically smaller
value has higher priority.
PTP Slave Only
PTP Slave Only ensures that the Neuron cannot become the master on the
network.
The
PTP Status
groupbox shows the current status of the PTP clock.
Global PTP Clock
Indicates if the PTP is unlocked, master or slave.
Master Clock ID
Shows the master clock ID of the device it is locked to. When the Neuron is not
locked or the master, it shows its own clock ID.
PTP 1 Status
Lock status of MAC1. Can be Passive, Master or Slave.
PTP 2 Status
Lock status of MAC2. Can be Passive, Master or Slave.
PTP Time
Shows the UTC time and date.
