Remote Configuration
Remote Configuration
The 8925DMB-B and 8925DMB-U configuration and monitoring must be
performed using a web browser GUI interface or a networked Newton
Control Panel when the 8900NET Network Interface module is present in
the GeckoFlex frame (8900FFN). Each of these interfaces is described below.
A summary table of all module parameters including defaults, ranges, and
Newton Control panel controls is given in
Table 11 on page 53 .
8900NET Module Information
Refer to the 8900NET Network Interface Module Instruction Manual (software
version 4.3.0) for information on the 8900NET Network Interface Module
and setting up and operating the GeckoFlex 8900 frame network.
Note Upgrade software and instructions for the 8900NET can be downloaded from
the Grass Valley web site. Refer to
Contacting Grass Valley on page 4 .
Newton Control Panel Configuration
A Newton Control Panel (hard or soft version) can be interfaced to the
GeckoFlex frame over the local network. Refer to the documentation that
accompanies the Newton Modular Control System for installation, config-
uration, and operation information.
Control panel access offers the following considerations for module config-
uration and monitoring:
• Ability to separate system level tasks from operation ones, minimizing
the potential for on-air mistakes.
• Ability to group modular products—regardless of their physical loca-
tions—into logical groups (channels) that you can easily manipulate
with user-configured knobs.
• Recommended for real-time control of module configuration parame-
ters, providing the fastest response time.
Note Not all module functions are available with the control panel, such as factory
default recalls.
