Mentor CX
4.5.2
Vector | Setup | A/B Sync
The Mentor CX monitors the
status of linked Mentor RGs to
see if they are locked using
one of the approved
synchronisation method(s)
e.g. GPS, PTP, NTP etc. The list
of approved synchronisation
methods is configured on this
screen. The status of each
Mentor RG is monitored via
the network and reported
accordingly.
The following will cause a sync fail condition:
•
The Mentor RG reports a synchronisation method not
approved in the configured list.
The following causes a sync warning :
•
Both Mentor RG report a synchronisation method from
the approved configured list, but the synchronisation
methods differ.
The Mentor RG synchronisation methods are:
•
GPS
•
PTP (slave)
•
NTP
•
LTC
•
VITC
•
Internal oscillator
•
External clock; and
•
Genlock
The settings section is there to ensure we don’t get a period of
changeover when there are network stability issues.
