Grass Valley iControl Router Manager
This protocol allows you to monitor a single level of a router present in the iControl Router Manager.
The iControl Router Manager is a graphical user interface that provides advanced routing switcher control and status monitoring. It allows you to control multiple routers from different vendors via a single user interface. It provides both matrix and single bus views for maximum flexibility and simplicity, and can be integrated with other devices and applications to offer an end-to-end view of a broadcast environment.

Configuration
Connections
HTTP Main Connection
This connector uses an HTTP connection and requires the following input during element creation:
HTTP CONNECTION:
- IP address/host: The polling IP or URL of the destination.
- IP port: The IP port of the destination (default: 5970).
- Device address: The bus address of the device. If the proxy server has to be bypassed, specify BypassProxy.
Initialization
For the matrix to be polled correctly, you must specify the level that should be monitored in the Levels Table. As soon as this done, the matrix will be initialized.
Web Interface
The web interface is only accessible when the client machine has network access to the product.
How to use
The iControl Router Manager can manage several routers. With this connecter, you can monitor only one single level of a specific router at a time. If multiple levels need to be monitored, create an element for each level.
You can switch levels at any time by selecting the desired level in the Levels Table.
Notes
Currently, the connector is read-only, meaning that any crosspoint sets done on the element will not be reflected on the actual device.
