Configuring Active Input - Sencore MRD 7000 User Manual

3.2.1

Configuring Active Input

This menu allows the user to configure a primary and backup input. In case there is an
input failover the MRD 7000 is capable of detecting the failed state and switching to a
secondary backup input in order to provide a continuous output. Which input is primary
and backup, how the inputs switchover and restore and switchover timing is all user
configurable. Input options include MPEG/IP Stream 1, MPEG/IP Stream 2, and Input
File.
Each MPEG/IP Stream input can be configured to use either Eth0 or Eth1 ports on the
back of the chassis.
Input File can play a stored .TS or .TRP transport stream file by uploading to the MRD
7000 internal storage. This is done by browsing to the MRD's IP address using FTP or
Windows file sharing.
