Server Configuration
The Mira Config application allows you to configure
various aspects of the hardware in your server. This
includes video input and output, audio, timecode,
compression and serial communications. The number of
channels and inputs and outputs you have depend on the
hardware installed in your server.
Important:
Not all settings are available on all
servers or require a option to be purchased or
installed.
Note:
Not all of the settings are required for replay operation.
To Assign Channel Transports to
Physical Channels
Channel transports are assigned to the physical channels
on the server. This is already configured from the factory.
1.
Click
Configure
>
General Configuration
and
click the
Channels
tab..
You may have to log in with a different account if
your current account does not have permissions.
2.
On the left side of the window use the drop-down
list to select the physical channel you want to
assigned to a virtual channel. The number of physical
channels that are available depends on the server
model you have.
3.
On the right side of the window use the drop-down
list to select the virtual channel (channel transport)
that you want to assign to the physical channel.
Channel Setup
The hardware channels can be set up in a number of
ways, depending on the task you need the server to
perform. These configurations are applied to all the
channels in a group (ChA-D and ChE-H) and can be used
for simple background video, keyed video, MultiScreen,
Stereoscopic 3D, super slow motion, instant replay (2D),
instant replay (3D), and instant replay (super slow
motion).
Note:
The following table shows channel allocations for the first
four channels on the server (ChA-D) but the second group of
channels (ChE-H) are configured in the same way. The exception
being those configurations that use all 8 channels.
