, the 9374-Series
and other cards installed in openGear
®
frames such as the Cobalt ®
HPF-9000 or 8321 Frame can be controlled from a computer and
monitor. DashBoard™ allows users to view all frames on a network
with control and monitoring for all populated slots inside a frame.
This simplifies the setup and use of numerous modules in a large
installation and offers the ability to centralize monitoring. Cards
define their controllable parameters to DashBoard™, so the control
interface is always up to date. The DashBoard™ software can be
downloaded from the Cobalt Digital Inc. website:
www.cobaltdigital.com (enter “DashBoard” in the search window).
The DashBoard™ user interface is described in Chapter 3,“Operating
Instructions”.
Note: If network remote control is to be used for the frame and the frame has not yet
been set up for remote control, Cobalt ® reference guide Remote Control
User Guide (PN 9000RCS-RM) provides thorough information and
step-by-step instructions for setting up network remote control of COMPASS
®
and FUSION3G
®
cards using DashBoard™. (Cobalt ® OGCP-9000 and
OGCP-9000/CC Remote Control Panel product manuals have complete
instructions for setting up remote control using a Remote Control Panel.)

• Cobalt ® OGCP-9000, OGCP-9000/CC and WinOGCP Remote
Control Panels – The OGCP-9000, OGCP-9000/CC, and WinOGCP
Remote Control Panels conveniently and intuitively provide
parameter monitor and control of the cards within the 20-slot frame.
The Control Panels allow quick and intuitive access to hundreds of
cards in a facility, and can monitor and allow adjustment of multiple
parameters at one time. The Remote Control Panels are totally
compatible with the openGear
® control software DashBoard™; any
changes made with either system are reflected on the other.
Note: Some GUI features such as VU meters are not available when using the
Remote Control Panel user interface.
9374-Series Card Rear Modules
The 9374-Series cards physically interface to system video and audio
connections using a Rear Module.
All inputs and outputs shown in the block diagram (Figure 1-1) enter and exit
the card via the card edge backplane connector. The Rear Module breaks out
the 9374-Series card edge connections to industry standard connections that
interface with other components and systems in the signal chain.
