Test: Router Gateway + Server stage
The following test triggers the router controller as part of Profile ingest. A successful
test verifies that the basic configurations are correct.
Test description: Using the NewsBrowse application, use the Router option in
conjunction with Profile ingest.
Run the test as follows:
1. Make sure that the NewsBrowse system is not in use.
NOTE: Running these tests will tie up a channel and could collide with commands
from the Ingest Schedule page. Inform operators that they must not use the
channels under test.
2. From the NewsBrowse server, open the NewsBrowse application.
3. Click the ingest tab at the top of the NewsBrowse window. The Ingest page opens.
4. Make sure you are on today's schedule, and enable auto-refresh.
5. Verify that the router option is available as follows:
a. On the Ingest page, click the red record button at the top of the channel column.
The Add Schedule Event window appears showing the current time as the start
time of the record, with a default duration of 30 minutes.
b. Verify that the router source list is present. Change the router source.
c. Enter a meaningful test clip name.
d. Change the duration to one minute. Duration uses the SMPTE timecode format:
hours:minutes:seconds:frames.
e. Click Add Event . The event gets added to the Ingest Schedule in the current time
slot and begins recording.
f. Verify that the router changes the video and audio signal correctly.
