4. Select the No Video (ASI) box to report when the ASI input signal is not connected.
5. Select the No Video (310) box to report that the 310 input signal is not connected or its data rate is incorrect.
6. Select the Overflow (ASI) box to report when the ASI input data rate, minus any nulls, is higher than the 310
Output rate. Consequently, data is being lost from the Transport Stream.
7. Select the Unknown Rear Module box to report when the ASI-310 does not recognize this rear module and
thus may not work properly. This and the Unsupported Rear Module alarm should only occur when a card is
first plugged in i.e. before it is put into service.
8. If you do not plan to use the 310-to-ASI converter or the Lock to 310 Input setting of the 310 Output Clock,
you should clear the No Video (310) box, so that the absence of this input does not cause the card status
indicator to be red.
9. If you do not use the ASI-to-310 converter, you should clear the Invalid Video (ASI) , No Video (ASI) and
Overflow (ASI) boxes.
Monitoring
This section provides an explanation of the status tabs available when using DashBoard to monitor the ASI-310.
For a more complete description of DashBoard and its capabilities, refer to the
DashBoard User Guide .
Product Tab
The Product tab displays read-only information that is useful in discussing the operation of the card with Ross
Video’s Technical Support staff.
Alarms Status Tab
The Alarms status tab displays the ASI and 310 data rates and 310 null rate, which are the same as those on the
GPIO Status tab. It also displays the state of each of the monitored conditions. The alarm conditions listed in the
Alarms status tab are qualified by the selections made on the Alarms setup tab.
• Card Status — Any error conditions that are enabled on the Alarms setup tab are reported in the Card Status
field (red indicator) when they occur. Alarm conditions that are disabled (the corresponding box in the Alarms
setup tab is unselected) are not reported in the Card Status field.
• Incoming ASI — This field reports the speed and the packet size of the ASI input signal.
• Incoming SMPTE 310 — This field reports the speed and the packet size of the SMPTE 310 input signal
• Outgoing 310 NULL Rate — This field reports the percentage of null packets in the 310 output. If the ASI input
data rate is equal to or greater than the 310 output rate, it is essential that it contain enough null packets to allow
the output data rate to be maintained by deleting null packets when necessary. If not, the 310 output null rate is at
or near 0% and it is likely that the converter will eventually have to delete payload (i.e. non-null) packets due to
peaks in the incoming data-rate. This is a major error condition, which normally changes the Card Status
indicator to red.
• Unsupported Rear Module — This field reports when the ASI-310 does not work properly with this rear
module; for example, it may be missing jacks that are essential for the ASI-310's operation.
• ASI Video Type — This field reports when the ASI input is connected but is not recognized as ASI.
• OSD — This field is not implemented.
• ASI Video — This field reports when the ASI input signal is not connected.
• 310 Video — This field reports when the SMPTE 310 input signal is not connected or its data rate is incorrect.
• Overflow (ASI) — This field reports that the ASI input data rate, minus any nulls, is higher than the 310 Output
rate. Consequently, data is being lost from the Transport Stream.
• Unknown Rear Module — This field reports when the ASI-310 does not recognize this rear module and thus
may not work properly.
