Input Multicast IP
The Multicast receive IP address:
•
Valid Range: 224.0.1.0 – 239.255.255.255
•
Reserved: 224.0.0.0 – 224.0.0.255
•
Not used: 0.0.0.0
Input Source
IP address of the source device for multicast reception. The source IP
address must be a valid singlecast address.
Only applicable when using multicast on a network that supports IGMP v3.
Low Bit Rate (Mbps)
The input service’s minimum bit rate is below the level configured by the
operator.

Compare Type
For Redundancy comparison, the Primary Compare Type setting is the
comparison type that you use when comparing the input Primary stream
against the input Secondary stream. (Not applicable in Hot/Warm
redundancy.)
For Primary input streams, you MUST select a Compare Type (select either
Data Rate or Stream Rate):
•
Select
Data
Rate
to compare the data rate of the input streams. The
data rate includes all non-Null PIDs (all video, audio, data, and PSI PIDs).
•
Select
Stream
Rate
to compare the entire input transport stream rates.
This includes the Data rate plus all Null PIDs. Select Stream Rate if the
input stream is always null filled or if the input data rate is unknown
and/or is variable.
For Secondary and non-Redundancy input streams, the Compare Type is
used to determine the Low Bit Rate Alarm. Select N/A if NO low bit rate
checking is desired.
Note: Only applicable when the Redundancy Type is set to
.
Redund Enable
Indicates whether this redundancy for the selected input transport stream
pair is
enabled
or
disabled
. If Redund Enable is not checked, that index’s
Force, Threshold, and Suspend Failover controls, and secondary row are
grayed out.
Once written, the change to this parameter will only take effect when you
click
Apply
.
Force Failover
Force Failover causes one or more GigE Input Streams, configured as the
Primary stream of a Redundant Pair to
fail over
to the Secondary stream.
Forced switch can only occur when there is at least one channel enabled
on the selected primary RF port, and the primary RF port is not failed (in
error).
Note: This function only becomes available when you check
Redund
Enabled.
