5.1 SMPTE Control Panel
The SMPTE control panel of the SDI2X web interface is used to configure the video
processing details. This will include signal flow direction, configuring the Video/IP ports,
labeling of the channel and finally, channel monitoring.
The SDI2X offers redundancy that meets the SMPTE 2022-7 seamless switching
standard requirements. This setting is found on the Admin Control Panel and has a unit
wide coverage. This means that the setting is applied to all stream processing paths.
Default value for this o
ption is ‘Seamless’.
When the SDI2X operates in
‘Seamless’ mode, all IP port configuration menus will
provide two paths (a primary path and a redundant path) to configure. When the SDI2X
operates with this value at
‘Disabled’, all IP port configuration menus will allow the user
to assign the output path to a specific hardware video IP port (see section 5.2.10 for
more details.). In the next section, examples of both configuration windows will be
addressed.
The SDI2X offers four (4) channels that the user can configure for video processing.
Each channel will offer the same configuration settings but operate independently from
the other channels.
