10.4 N+m Module Redundancy
The N+m Module Redundancy protects the system against possible hardware failure for
selected card types. Module redundancy is currently supported by the following modules:
• encoder-sd
• encoder-hd
• transcoder-sd
• transcoder-hd
• Universal Transcoder- Multiscreen Universal Transcoder- Broadcast
Before the redundancy will take effect the user must specify which cards should be part of a
redundancy group and which of them shall be active/main devices and which should be spare
devices.
For the encoder switching an external SDI switch is required. This switch will be configured and
managed by the unit hence no external management system is required. For details on
supported SDI Switches, please contact the Sencore Support department.
All redundancy configurations are performed from the Redundancy->Card navigation pane.
The Card page configures the general group settings while the switch page defines external
switches.
Figure 10.16 – Redundancy group configuration.
The system will automatically populate the internal modules into groups based on the module
type. In the figure above it shows the “encoder-hd” and “transcoder-hd” groups.
