8964ENC/-FS — Instruction Manual 33
Configuration
Remote Configuration
The 8964ENC and 8964ENC-FS configuration and monitoring can also be
performed remotely using a web browser interface or a networked Newton
Control Panel with an 8900NET Network Interface module 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 8 on page 67 .
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.
