Configuring Devices & Services
Sorting
208
Sorting allows you to determine the way in which devices will be arranged for display in
iC Navigator. Three sorting modes are available:
• Logical view displays all devices registered on the lookup server, including 3rd party
devices, as well as active services. The devices and services may be organized into groups,
which can be created by any user. Groups and their contents are arranged in alphabetical
order. Ungrouped items are displayed at the end of the list. Empty slots are not shown,
unless they are in the Reference Configuration.
• Physical view arranges devices relative to their physical connections and network
location. It shows the iControl Application Server itself, and the frames, cards and other
devices connected to it via Ethernet or serial ports. Empty slots show up as
empty , unless
the card is designated as In Ref Config , in which case it will show up as before, but with
the description missing from slot .
All Grass Valley frame slots are shown, even if they are empty. Devices are sorted by:
• the IP address of the iControl Application Server with which they are associated,
• then, for Grass Valley Imaging frames, by the serial communication port of the
Application Server to which the frame is connected, or, for Grass Valley Densité frames,
by the frame’s IP address
• then, within a frame, by slot number.
• Flat view shows all devices in alphabetical order without any grouping.
Note: Logical grouping information is stored on the Application Server. Any
changes to the device groupings will be visible to all users.
Note: In Logical view and Physical view, you can open and close folders in the list
by clicking on the [+] or [–] box beside the folder.
