iControl Integration with Other Grass Valley Products
Grass Valley products are, naturally, tightly integrated with iControl, and are often found in
networks where iControl has been installed. Some of the more popular Grass Valley products
are described below.
Control Windows and Device Parameters
To control device parameters, double-click the device in the navigation pane to display the
control window for that device. Or right-click the device and select Show Control window
from the pop-up menu.
The device name is listed along the top of each control window along with the “status icon” for
the device. Icons in the upper left corner of the control window (again depending on the
device type) provide a quick status indicator of key parameters such as the Operational or Test
Mode, Input Status, or Reference Status. This is called the “status dashboard”.
On each control window, there are different selector tabs that correspond to different groups
of parameters for each device. When working with control windows, you begin by selecting
the tab to display the parameters for a particular group (see
"Control window parameters" ,
on page 19).
When one or more Control windows are open, the View menu item Close All Control
windows becomes available, and the menu lists the device names of open control windows
for selection.
Note: Grass Valley devices that provide IP connectivity at the frame—such as
Densité and Kaleido—offer direct SNMP support, allowing third party SNMP
Manager applications to get status information using an SNMP
GET command.
Note: If you try to display the control window for a device and you get the message
Control window
Not Available , this means that this device type has not been
implemented as a controllable device by iControl. Therefore, you can only see the
status of this device but cannot configure any control parameters.
