3.8.2 How to Configure Advanced Video Processor Settings
3.8.2.1 General Advanced Video Processor Settings
To configure the General Advanced Video Processor Settings:
1. Navigate to the Device Configuration page and click on the Advanced Setup
tab.
Note: The Advanced Video Processor Settings widget displays all the unit
parameters organized into different folders in a tree view. The folders can
be expanded and collapsed by clicking on the plus or minus sign next to
them or by selecting a node, right clicking on it, then choosing Expand
Selected or Collapse Selected from the context menu.
2. General parameters such as Unit Name, UTC and SNTP Server are configured
by navigating to Encoder > Base Unit
3. Configure the IP output parameters by navigating to Encoder > Network
Configuration > Data Interface Group 3-4.
Note: There is no actual output until a Transport Stream is created and its Status
of Service parameter is set to Online.
4. Optionally, the redundancy mode for the unit can be set up in the Encoder >
MGP Support folder
3.8.2.1.1 Set the Unit Time and Date
The UTC time and date can be set manually or the unit can obtain the current time
from a network time server using SNTPv4 (RFC 4330) and is capable of working
with Microsoft Windows Time, (SNTP as defined in RFC 1769).
SNTP Time Server
If an SNTP Time Server is selected, and communications are established with it,
then the unit uses the time obtained to correct the system’s real time clock, and the
user cannot set the clock.
If a time server has been configured, but it fails to respond, then an ‘SNTP Server
Failed To Respond’ alarm is generated.
Note: SNTP always uses port 123.
One set of parameters is applicable to Carrier ID present in the NIT and used in the
Satellite Modulator DVB RF Carrier ID (DVB-CID).
The properties of these fields can be entered from the Device Configuration
Advanced Setup menu or from the Voyager Dashboard. A tab will also be available
as part of the Satellite Modulator output Properties under the Service
Configuration tab.
