How to Identify a Video Switch Link
●
Links between an SX650/SX850 Node and a GX Node
In order to pass video from one switch node to another, video links are required. Page 11 gave an example of a sys-
tem with video links. In general, you can find video links in the following conditions:
• From a video decoder device to an SX650/SX850 matrix switch input
• From an SX650/SX850 matrix switch output to a video encoder device
The above video links can connect two video switch nodes within the same system domain or different system
domains.
●
Links between two SX650/SX850 Switch Nodes
In general, you can find video links from a matrix switch output to a matrix switch input. These links must cross two
different system domains.
●
Enter Video Links in the WJ-ASC960 Admin Console (Global database)
In the WJ-ASC960 Admin Console main screen, select
Routing
on the
Domain
menu. The
LINK
screen will be acti-
vated. Then, enter the
video link(s)
information into the fields provided. In the following table, we used the example
on page 11 to show what information you would need to enter.
In the above video link table, users are able to enable or disable a video link. When disabled, the system will not use
that link in its video routing operation.
Also in the above video link table, the destination unit ID and source unit ID are the same. They also can be different
in a multiple domain system.
In the example on page 15, there is no video link in the GX system, and users can skip this configuration.

Define System Operators
●
System Operators
System operators are also called global operators or system users. In order to seize a system resource, such as a
camera in a foreign domain, the system requires a global operator. When a global operator logs into a system con-
troller, it becomes a global controller.
