Product Info

Range Device Firmware Version
5.0.43.x 5.0.42
<10.0.0.x [SLC Main] The versioning of the connector is specifically engineered to tie in with the firmware version of the card the connector supports. It uses the following format: X.X.X.Y, with X.X.X being the firmware version of the card and .Y the specific connector iteration for this firmware. For example, 5.0.28.2 means the connector is the second iteration for firmware 5.0.28.
10.0.0.x Requires controller firmware "S/W=7.0-38, H/W= rev 02" or higher and will not work with older firmware.

Configuration

Connections

SNMP main connection

This connector uses a Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) connection and requires the following input during element creation:

SNMP CONNECTION:

  • IP address/host: The polling IP of the device.
  • Device address: Slot number where the card is plugged in at. Range 1-14.

SNMP Settings:

  • Port number: The port of the connected device, by default 161.
  • Get community string: The community string needed to read from the device. The default value is public.
  • Set community string: The community string needed to set to the device. The default value is public.

Timing

All data gets retrieved from the device in two ways.

  1. Timers

    • Slow timer that triggers every hour and retrieves non-essential and configurable parameters.
    • Medium timer that triggers every 15 minutes and retrieves status parameters.
    • Fast timer that triggers every 3 seconds and retrieves slot information (state, temperature, protection).

  2. Dirty changes

    • Every 3 seconds, a check is done for any changed configurable values. If such a change is detected, the new value is retrieved and instantly updated in the element. If the change is the cell of a table, the complete table is refreshed. After a change is detected, the check is boosted and performed every 0.5 seconds, until no more changes are detected.

Usage

The connector contains different pages divided into several sections using separators:

General section

This section contains the following pages:

  • General: Contains information such as the slot number, state, temperature, protection status and chassis IP.
  • Alarming: Contains a table with all the possible alarms that the card can generate and its current state (Active priority 0->10 or Inactive).

Control section

This section contains the following pages:

  • IP: Control information concerning primary and secondary data Ethernet.
  • Serial: Control information concerning Serial 1 and Serial 2.
  • GPI: GPI Out 1->4 Statuses.

Video section

This section contains the following pages:

  • Video Input: General video parameters, such as loss of signal status, errors, video source, resolution, format, etc.
  • Video Compression: Compression code used, stream rate, aspect ratio and compression settings.

Audio section

This section contains the following pages:

  • Audio Input Status: AES and EMB statuses.
  • Audio 1 -> Audio 8: These pages contain all configurable and status parameters concerning the audio. Further subpages are available via page buttons, providing information concerning Status, Metadata, Dolby E Encoder, and AAC.
  • Metadata Generator 1 and 2: Settings used for the encoding of metadata.

Data section

This section contains data concerning subtitles, Ancillary Data, Vertical Blanking Interval, Active Format Descriptions and advanced data regarding Timecode, Teletext, Close Caption, etc.
