Configuring the router for source events
state of the alarms is communicated to GV STRATUS Playout. Other devices such as
applications registered as a device are simply monitored and an alert is raised if the device
goes offline.
The Device Status pane contains a list of the available alerts from the device and displays
their current state. The overall health status of the device is determined by whether an alert
is being raised on the device or not and its alarm level. A device is considered ‘Healthy’ if no
alerts are occurring. If an alert is raised, the most urgent alarm state is displayed at the top
of the Device Status pane. To obtain more details about the specific alert raised, you can
click the arrows next to the alarm categories to reveal the lists of specific alerts and their
states.
To view the state of a device:
1 In the top menu, click Settings.
2 Click the Device Settings tab.
3 In the Devices list, click the name of the device that you want to view.
4 View the information provided in the Device Status pane. Click the arrows in the pane
to reveal the more details.
Configuring the router for source events
A source event is a primary event that streams a live feed from a specified router source
supplied via a router connected to both the SDI A and SDI B inputs on a device’s SSP-3801
card. For source events to function properly:
• Each device intended to playout source events must have an external video router
connected to its associated SSP-3801 card.
• All connected router systems must be of the same type and configured in the same
way.
• The source mnemonics must be same across all the devices.
For more information on configuring the router system, see the SSP-3801 documentation.
To configure the router:
1 Install and configure a router for each SSP-3801 card that you intend to have playout
source events. The configuration of each router system must be the same. For more
information on configuring the SSP-3801 card, see the SSP-3801 documentation set.
2 Create a channel type for all the channels whose devices are connected to a router. For
more information on channel types, see Creating a new channel type , on page 25.
3 Create a channel for each SSP-3801 card. Configure each channel with the channel type
you created for devices connected to a router. For more information on creating
channels, see
Creating a new channel , on page 37.
4 Register each SSP-3801 card as a device and assign it one of the channels you created
for devices connected to a router. For more information on registering devices, see
Creating a device , on page 44.
5 Once the device are registered, click Sync Source Mnemonics from one of the devices
connected to a router to obtain the router source mnemonics from the SSP-3801 card.
6 Specify the router sources available for the source events. For more information, see
Specifying the router sources , on page 33.
