9-4 Distributor Configuration
Fibre Handle
This is the unique fibre address assigned to the destination video disk. Each video disk on
a fibre network must have a unique address. Valid entries are 0 through 99.
Wait until missing media is available
GMT waits for the missing media on the source device specified on the distributor. The
missing media is placed on the GMT list and stays red until the media is found. Typically
used on a VTR.
With this option disabled, the missing media is skipped and media searching passes down
to the next available distributor (or returns an error to the play list).
NOTE: This option is only available with baseband and archive routing. Fibre mode is
not supported. See “Routing” on page 9-3.
Next Distributor
Specify an additional distributor for locating material. For example, you may have
multiple distributors, each associated with a different cart machine. If a distributor cannot
process a request because the requested material is not within its source device (i.e., the ID
is not in the cart machine), it can pass the request to the next distributor in the chain which
may be able to locate the material. All linked distributors must reside on the same device
server and be assigned to the same GMT list. It is recommended to link the last distributor
back to the first distributor to form a closed loop so that any distributor on the linked list
can be the initial distributor (as pointed to by a requester in a multi-requester
environment).
