Here, you can set the single channel in the Profile resource.
The first part is just a description and shows the data you previously set:
•Code: Shows the resource path you are editing
•Type: Shows the resource type
•Number: Shows the resource's ordinal number used to identify that resource, as you have several resources of the same type.
•Name: It's the resource's description (In this case, we'll add CH- channel number).
•Codec: Indicate the video codec used by the channel.
The second part allows you to set the Channel connection mode and use it, beginning by selecting:
•Driver: the available communication drivers for the GVM resource are:
GVML
Setting this driver videoserver communication is via serial with Imagine protocol.
AMP
•Advanced Media Protocol is an Odetics protocol extension.
Each serial is connected to a decoder or encoder using this driver. It would be possible not to set the channel, but you need to set this parameter to recognize the channel in the resource tree. Thus, if an encoder is connected, set VideoIn to 1 and VideoOut to 0, and vice versa.
AMPIP
•Advanced Media Protocol via IP: an extension of the Odetics protocol.
With this driver, every channel is connected to a decoder or an encoder, so there would be no need to set up the channel, but such a setting is needed to recognize the channel type in the resource treeview. Therefore, if an encoder is connected, set 1 on VideoIn and 0 on VideoOut and vice versa.
•Identification Channel - When using AMPIP protocol with Ethernet, channels are consistently identified as 'VTR1', 'VTR2', etc., indicating HERE the device channel to which this logical channel corresponds.
This parameter needs to be configured in the correct order (e.g., VTR1 for the 1st channel, VTR2 for the second and so on). Otherwise, channels won't work correctly.
It's also possible to set E\E for each channel. When you are recording, this allows you to simulate an E\E (software way) with the router, to send to screen the (VTR) source's output, and in play mode to set the videoserver production back to the screen.
Proxy address board
If you have a proxy capture video board directly connected to the channel, set the IP address of the PC that hosts the board (e.g. 195.122.231.145); the local port value must be placed in the range of 6501 and 6509.
If you don't have this kind of board, or it's not fixed to the channel, leave these two fields blank.
M Series resource editor - Channel User
After this, you set which user and program you want this resource to be available for. You have to put some more data:
•Set Com - set the com for the PC connected to the Profile
Router
✓Input: Indicates the output channel on the router to which the resource input is connected (-1= not managed)
✓Output: Indicates the input channel on the router to which the resource output is connected (-1= not managed)
✓Monitor: Indicates the output channel on the router which is connected to a possible monitor (-1= not managed)
422
✓Device (out): Indicates the device number to activate when you open the resource (-1= not managed)
✓Controller (in): Indicates the device number to activate when you open the resource (-1= not managed)
(Set the data above referred to 422 just in case you have a centralized router which allows you to switch serials )
