The information displayed in the first part is merely descriptive and shows previously assigned data:
•Code: The path of the resource that you are editing is displayed
•Type: Shows the resource type
•Number: Indicates the ordinal number that identifies that resource in case others of the same type coexist.
The user must enter the following information:
•Name: Description of the resource you are editing.
•Driver: Enter SIGMA (in case of a router with a 232 com) or SIGMA422 (in case of a router with a 422 com).
(The EtereSW driver is not used any longer, and it has been kept only for a matter of compatibility with past installations)
•Model: Enter the model SIGMA for the ADX or SIGMA2144 for the Sigma2144
If the model is not included in the list, choose GENERIC and indicate the number of Inputs and Outputs of the model you have (this is the only case in which you have to set these parameters)
•Address: In case of a router with a 422 com port, you must indicate the address as well (default=1)
•Channel's number: Insert the number of the router's inputs and outputs.
•Router switching levels: Some routers allow you to determine the switching levels, that is, to define what has to be switched (Audio only, Audio and Video, Video only, serial port, etc.). If your router offers this option, levels can be set here. In Etere, you have three kinds of switching: AUDIO/VIDEO, SERIAL PORT, and TIMECODE and for each, you can determine the levels to be installed.
example.: if, on your router, Video corresponds to level 1 and Audio corresponds to level 2, you must activate levels 1 and 2 in the AUDIO/VIDEO box. If the switching of a possible serial port corresponds to level 4, start level 4 on the SERIAL PORT box (if your router does not offer this possibility, leave all levels installed)
Serial connection wire:
1) In case of 232 com:
PC side Router side
DB9F DB9
2 Rx --------------- Tx 3
3 Tx --------------- Rx 2
5 GND ------------ GND 5
2) Regarding 422 com: SMPTE 207 (SONY standard).
ADX / 2144 resource editor - User
After indicating which user and which software the resource has to be installed for, you have to set other data:
Com port setting:
The video router can be controlled directly through a serial connection (in this case, you have to set the com number) or through UDP with the ETERESARVAJI software (in this case, you have to indicate the IP address of the PC that EtereSarvaji runs on and the Local Port which EtereSarvaji uses.
Com Configuration:
You can set the Baudrate only (default value 38400); other data are fixed
Backup Router
If you wish to manage another router as the Backup router, activate this option, insert com data, or leave the option blank.
The backup router must ultimately be THE SAME as the main one.
