Resource Sharing

Overview

Resource sharing is a function that subdivides a physical
switcher into two logical switchers where the switcher
resources, such as the switcher banks and input/outputs,
are assigned to each logical switcher.
Notes
• Resource sharing is not available on the XVS-9000.
• Resource sharing can be enabled when only one physical
switcher is present on the same network.

Configuring Resource Sharing

The resource sharing system structure is configured using
a computer connected to the same network as the switcher
control station.
For details about the method of operation, see "Resource
Sharing Configuration Operations" (page 512).
Enabling/disabling resource sharing
When resource sharing is enabled, the physical switcher is
subdivided into logical switcher 1 and logical switcher 2.
Signal format settings
The combinations of signal formats that can be set on each
logical switcher are as follows.
Logical switcher 1
• 3840×2160P 2SI
• 3840×2160P SQD
• 1080P
• 3840×2160PsF SQD
• 1080PsF
• 1080i
• 720P
The frame frequency/field frequency and input reference
signal (Tri Sync or BB) settings are common to logical
switchers 1 and 2.
Frame memory folder mode
Frame memory folders can be set to shared mode or
dedicated mode.
In shared mode, logical switchers 1 and 2 can share and use
all image data (folders/files). In dedicated mode, logical
switchers 1 and 2 can only use the image data in the
corresponding dedicated folders.
Logical switcher 2
• 3840×2160P 2SI
• 3840×2160P SQD
• 1080P
• 3840×2160PsF SQD
• 1080PsF
• 1080i
• 720P
Resource assignment
The following resources are subdivided and assigned to
each logical switcher.
Resource
Inputs
Outputs
Switcher banks (M/E boards) 1 board
b)
DMEs
Frame memory sources
Frame memory outputs
Color backgrounds
Internal format converters
Multi viewers
a) 12 outputs (excluding format converter outputs and spare outputs).
b) XKS-8475 DME Board not supported.
The following resources can be configured for sharing on
logical switchers 1 and 2.
• Inputs
• Frame memory outputs: Sharing is supported only when
the signal formats of logical switchers 1 and 2 are the
same.
• Color backgrounds: Sharing is supported only when the
signal formats of logical switchers 1 and 2 are the same.
• Internal format converters: If the signal formats of
logical switchers 1 and 2 are the same, sharing is
supported only for FC channels configured for input use.
When resources are shared, operation using the menu is
available from logical switcher 1 only.
On logical switcher 2, only the selection of cross-points of
shared resources is available. Information for shared
resources are also displayed in the menu of logical
switcher 2, but configuration and other operations are not
available.
1) Excludes the Engineering Setup >Panel >Xpt Assign >Src Name/Src
Color menu (7322.6). Independent menu operation for shared resources is
available on logical switchers 1 and 2.
Notes
• Software licenses for 4K format support are required
according to the number of M/E board assigned to the
4K format logical switchers (see page 394).
• Subdivided resources have resource numbers that are set
for each logical switcher. For example, frame memory
outputs 17 to 20 assigned to logical switcher 2 are
referred to as FM1 to FM4.
• Format converter outputs and spare outputs are assigned
in conjunction with the internal format converter
assignments.
• DME Monitor Video/Key is linked to the assignment
setting of DME channel 1 of the physical switcher.
