Here, you can define the configuration of the single Mav-70 channel.
The first part is merely descriptive and shows data previously assigned:
•Code: the path of the resource 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.
•Name: description of the resource you are editing (in this case, the suffix CH-no. of the channel is added)
The second part allows you to set the connection and use mode of the channel:
•Driver - Fixed: Mav70
•Channels
✓Video In Indicate the input channel no. You want to use, keeping in mind that they start from no. 1 (0=not used). The input channel is usually indicated only if you have to record.
✓Video Out: Indicate the output channel no. You want to use, keeping in mind that they start from no. 1 (0=not used). The output channel has to be indicated if you want to see the video files recorded in Mav-70.
In practice, set both video in and video out for an ingest channel, while for a play channel, set video out only.
BLACK Videofile - There is the possibility of creating a "BLACK" video file to be entered between commercials in the cluster.
This video must be recorded in the MAV, with the title you prefer, with a maximum frame length determined by the following chart:
MAV Profile Bit rate NTSC PAL
MP@ML 8 Mbps 75 60
12 Mbps 45 36
15 Mbps 30 24
422P@ML 8 Mbps 75 60
12 Mbps 30 24
15 Mbps 15 12
•Videofile title:
Indicate the title you want to give the video file.
•MAV Profile:
Indicate the Profile the MAV has been set with; this data can be read from MAV's Control Panel (v. Boards/Encoder parameters/Format MPEG2)
•Bitrate (Mb/sec):
Indicate the bitrate the MAV has been set with; this data can be read from MAV's Control Panel (v. Boards/Encoder parameters/bit rate)
Leave these fields blank if you do not want to use such a video file.
•E/E
-Besides, you can set the E\E for each channel. This is useful for systems without an automatic E\E. This allows you to simulate, during ingest, an E\E via software with a possible connected router. This means sending the source exit (VTR) to the monitor during the REC phase and returning the videoserver exit to the monitor during the PLAY phase.
•Proxy Address Card
If you have a proxy video acquisition card directly connected to the channel, set the IP address relative to the PC where the card is (e.g., 195.122.231.145).
The value of the local port must be included between 6501 and 6509
If you do not have such a card, or if the card is not fixed to the channel, leave the two boxes blank.
MAV & Confidence
If you wish to use the confidence "LOCK TO REC" function, you need to set 10 seconds in advance on Ingest, parameters, General.
MAV-70 resource editor - Channel User
After indicating which user and which software the resource has to be installed for, you have to set other data:
•Com no.: Indicate the PC com number Mav-70 is connected to.
(It is not possible to set the com data since they are fixed by default: 38400, Odd,8,1)
•Video router
✓Input- Indicate the router output channel the resource input is connected to (-1=not installed)
✓Output- Indicate the router input channel the resource output is connected to (-1=not installed)
✓Monitor- Indicate the router output channel to which the prospective monitor is connected. (-1=not installed)
•422
✓Device (out)- Indicate the no. of device to be installed when you open the resource.(-1=not installed)
✓Controller (in)- Indicate the no. of the controller to be installed when you open the resource.(-1=not installed)
(Only in the special case where you have a centralized video router which allows you also to commute serial ports, set the data referred to above to 422)
