Electra 9200 Release 01, Rev A
Using SAG, the web GUI
The output TS is a logical output object. The services from the input Baseband SDI–1 have been
added to TS–1 to create one program with a video and an audio stream. The encoder has both IP
and ASI physical output ports. The GbE port has one socket defined, and it is carrying the output
TS–1.
Status Bar
The top status bar shows whether the encoder is standalone or is managed by NMX, the device
name and model, IP address, active alarm status, date and time. If the encoder is managed by
NMX, you cannot configure it with SAG.
Next to the encoder name, a drop-down menu for device tasks is available.
■
Properties—Opens the Platform > HW Inventory page to show the platform properties.
■
Identify Unit—Turns on/off the locator LED on the device. This is a toggle that changes the
LED status.
■
Reboot—Reboots the device.
■
Rebuild PSI—Rebuilds PSI tables for all services on the device. You can set the PSI to rebuild
automatically in the Administration > Global Settings > General.
NOTE:
When the device is controlled by NMX, you cannot apply changes using SAG. If you are switching
device control from NMX to SAG, you must clear the configuration settings made while the device was
under NMX control. See the SAG Platform > Backup/Restore page to restore the device to its default state.
Navigation Tabs
The tabs provide access to the different SAG pages. You perform the following tasks in each SAG
page:
Configuration
■
Define the input services coming into the device. The GUI shows the physical inputs and a
logical representation for each input, where you can define each input stream.
■
Define the output services by building the logical output transport stream, configure encoding
for video, audio, and other streams, add descriptors and manage PSI tables.
■
Define the output ports/sockets and connect the services to them.
DiviTrack
■
Create DTMX pools.
■
Add and manage the streams in each pool.
