General
Set the identifying module name in the Name parameter. The Clear Status button clears all counts in the
status pages of the user interface to 0. Press Apply to activate.
Module Fault Alarm Priority is a threshold for module redundancy switching, on a scale of 1 to 10.
Default is None.
If the Module Fault Alarm Priority parameter is enabled, and any enabled alarm with a priority equal to
or above (higher value) the setting is asserted, the module generates a fault code with information
about the fault source and available redundant module.
When this occurs, the Selenio frame can switch to a redundant module. Each decoder has its own
licenses. Therefore, you must manually check the license options to confirm redundancy.
A Selenio frame can also provide Service Redundancy. The Service Fault Alarm Priority is a threshold for
service redundancy switching, on a scale of 1 to 10 (default is None). The module generates a fault if the
Service Fault Alarm Priority parameter is enabled, and any enabled alarm is asserted to the Controller
with a priority that is equal to—or above (higher value)—the setting.
For example, the Connection Manager can connect one encoder to two decoders, with one primary and
one backup. If the primary module detects an interface error, the controller will switch to the backup.
The decoder triggers an interface fault that alerts the controller to make the switch.
When the Service switch is set to CXN, the encoder should have at least two connections (primary
decoder and redundancy decoder) configured on the controller. If the Service Fault Alarm Priority
parameter is enabled (is not None) the module calculates statuses of the interfaces based on raised and
enabled alarms with equivalent or higher priority. The frame’s controller makes the switch based on
these statuses.
Parameter Control Script
This feature adds the ability for the user to define custom scripts where combinations of configuration
and status parameters can be used to control other sets of parameters. The custom scripts are four‐
string parameters (Script (Part I to IV)), an Activate Script parameter, and a Script Status parameter.
The Selenio decoder allows users to write scripts for custom signal flow management, so that you can
dynamically change selected parameters when a signal flow changes. This addresses the need for
managing input video and audio signals that constantly change. In a typical scenario, a preset is recalled
by an operator, or the operator determines what is at the input and then sets up the device to process
the video and audio essence, data and metadata. This is known as "user‐scripted signal flow
management" or a "rules engine."
