Configuring the SRA-8802

This section briefly outlines how to configure the SRA-8802 using the options available in 
DashBoard.

Enabling the Failover Feature

The failover feature enables the SRA-8802 to use a backup input source when the primary input 
source is lost and the backup input is stable for at least 3 seconds. Once the SRA-8802 determines 
that the primary input source is stable for at least 3 seconds, it automatically switches back to the 
primary source. The 

Input

 field on the 

Signal

 tab reports when the backup source is in use for 

Channel A. 

The source assignments are fixed for Channel A as follows:

• Channel A — SDI IN is the primary input source and BACKUP IN is the backup source.

To enable the failover feature

1.

From the 

Device View

, select the 

Setup

 tab.

Setup Tab — Enabling the Failover Feature

2.

Select the 

Enable

 

Failover

 box. The box displays a check-mark.

Note

 — The Failover Feature requires that the SRA-8802 be installed with an 8320AR-300, or 

8320AR-306 Full Rear Module.
