4. Creating a Configuration
The default configuration is displayed in the working area.
Give a name that lets you easily identify your configuration.
For each input:
- Double-click the Input item.
- Enter a proper name in the Name field.
- Set the input parameters:
In ASI: number of the physical input
In IP: Ethernet interface and IP parameters
Double-click the switches items and set their strategy to Redundancy.
A. Creating the Configuration
Proceed the same way for switches and outputs items.
For TS over IP outputs, set the specific IP parameters.
5. Testing the Configuration
You can then go to the Switches supervision tab to have an overview
of the switches status.
D. Applying the Configuration
C. Defining the Switches Strategy
By default, there is only one group of tests, named Tests group, and it is
applied to all inputs. If you want to apply different tests to the inputs, you
need to define additional groups of tests.
To associate tests to inputs, double-click the input items and select
the tests group to apply from the Associated group of tests drop-
down list.
To ensure your configuration is working properly, disconnect the source of
Input 1 so that no signal is available;
- In ASI: disconnect the TS over ASI Input 1 cable.
- In IP: cut the stream incoming to TS over IP Input 1
Amethyst III automatically switches from input 1 to input 2.
B. Defining Tests on the Inputs
Choose the tests
you wish to apply
to the inputs.
