28 • Setting Up the NK-VRC NK-VRC User Guide (v05)
Configuring Resources
Resources have a user definable resource type such as upconverter, ADC, and DAC. Each resource has a user
definable virtual source and destination to indicate how they are connected to the router(s).
For More Information on...
• pre-configuring resource type names, refer to the Global Labels Editor topic in the NK Plug-in Help file
available in the DashBoard Help menu.
Setting up Resources
Use the Resources tab to define all the resources in the routing system. Up to 300 resources can be defined in the
NK-VRC.
Figure 4.11 Resources tab
To set up a resource
1. In DashBoard, open the NK-VRC interface.
2. Select the Resources tab.
3. In the Type field, select a numerical Resource Type value (or pre-configured Resource Type name) to
represent the resource type (for example, 1 = Video ADC, 2 = Video DAC, 3 = Audio ADC, etc.).
4. In the Res In field, enter a numerical value to define which virtual destination is connected to the input of the
resource.
5. In the Res Out field, enter a numerical value to define which virtual source is connected to the output of the
resource.
6. In the Priority field, enter a numerical value to set the priority for the resource.
Each resource can be assigned a priority level from 1 to 8, with level 1 as the highest priority.
7. Click
Send Configuration (see “Sending the Configuration to a Device” on page 21).
Notes on the Resources Tab
This section provides additional information on some of the options in the Resources tab:
• The Initialise Resources check box is used to clear the current in-use state of the resources. During setup and
testing, configuration issues may arise when a resource definition is changed after a resource switch was made.
The system in this case will have no way of clearing the resource as it has been undefined or changed. The
Initialise Resources check box will clear all the current resource usage, allowing the resource tracking system to
start from a clean slate.
