3.7.6 How to Configure the Chassis for Multi-screen Functionality
In order to use Multi-screen Encoder functionality, the AVP chassis must have the
relevant software release and be fitted with appropriate option cards fitted in specific
slots. ABR is a licensed feature and the chassis must have one AVP/SWO/ABR/SD
license and optionally one AVP/SWO/ABR/HD license installed for each service.
The slot configuration will depend on which chassis is used.
3.7.6.1 Installing the Option Cards
Install the EI9001/T cards in the slots indicated in Table 3.4, depending on what
functionality you want to achieve, and which chassis is being used.

3.7.6.2 Configuring the Option Cards
Card “roles” are a software configurable option that must be set up via the web GUI.
Each card must be given the correct card role to gain access to the required
functionality.
It is recommended that the unit is free of all output Transport Streams and Services
before proceeding. To configure the card roles, the following procedure must be
followed. Table 3.5 shows the roles that particular cards are to take given the
required services and chassis in use.
To configure the option cards:
1. Select the appropriate slot on the Device Configuration > Advanced Setup
page, and select the EI9001T > Build folder.
2. Set the appropriate Card Role in the Properties panel.
3. Repeat for all the cards in the chassis, and select Apply All.
