Features
The following areas of the GV Switcher system will continue to require a manual update for
a router source name change:
• R-MEMs—Learn a new R-MEM in the Router, R-MEM menu,
• Macros—Learn a new Macro in the Macro menu,
• Device Control configuration for router sources—Update the router source name in the
Eng Setup, Router menu, and
• Switcher sources configured for router destinations—Update the Router Destination
source name in the Eng Setup, Source Definition menu.
Features
• Interfaces to the Grass Valley SMS 7000, Encore, and other routing systems via Native
protocol.
• GV Switcher system configuration of routed switcher sources.
• Names of router sources are shown on the GV Switcher Control Panel and Menu Panel
displays.
• Router source selection control via the GV Switcher Control Panel and Menu Panel
displays.
• Protection types (None, Protect, and On Air).
Control Interface Cabling
Connect an Ethernet cable from a GV Switcher system Ethernet switch to the external
routing system Ethernet network. The system can communicate with devices on different
networks via a gateway router. If a gateway router is not used, the external routing system
must be on the same subnet as the system.
Video Interface Cabling
Connect each external routing GV Switcher system destination to an available input
connector on the Video Processor Frame. You will need to know the input connector
number used for each destination when you configure the source.
External Routing System Configuration
It is assumed the external routing system has already been configured for basic use in your
facility, and only needs to be re-configured to interface with the GV Switcher system.
Setting IP Addresses
The Eng Setup Router menu is used to set the IP Address(es) the GV Switcher system will
use to communicate to the external routing system. The external routing system can have
an optional redundant, or secondary, controller which takes over should the primary fail.
Both router control systems will require their own IP address settings.
CAUTION: If these areas of the system are not manually updated, the
router source may behave unexpectedly or no longer work.
