VDCP on Ethernet Configuration
For Ethernet VDCP, the user must specify the IP Address of the device they
are connecting to, in the Eng Setups/Ports & Devices/External Devices
menu.
When configuring a device to connect to the K-Frame with Ethernet VDCP,
the device should be configured to use port 8000. The one exception to this
is when the Server Type is CrossFire. When the Server Type is CrossFire, the
device should be configured to use port 8000 plus the Device number. For
example, if Device 7 in the External Devices menu is configured to use
Ethernet VDCP with a server type of CrossFire, the CrossFire device should
be configured to accept the connection on port 8007.
Device Definition
The Karrera K-Frame system uses a software External Device Definition
object to define the capabilities of each device interfaced with the system.
External Device Definitions contain the interface information required for
that external device, (e.g., IP Address or Serial Port). Each Device Defini-
tion is given a unique name. Once a Device Definition has been created for
a device (DDR, or VTR), it can be assigned to a source. That source then
supports the specific capabilities of that external device. (PBus and GPI
configurations are different, and are not associated with a particular
source.)
Touching an already defined item in the scrolling External Devices list on
the left brings up information for that device and delegates the rest of the
menu to that object.
Device Name
– Touching this button opens an alphanumeric keypad used to
give the External Device a descriptive name. These names appear in the
Control Panel System Bar and GV Switcher menus.
Note When configuring servers with multiple channels, the channel number must
be appended to the device name with a - character, and the base name be the
same for all channels on the same server (e.g. 'Vdr4-1', 'Vdr4-2', etc.).
