You must ensure that your configuration never allows the card’s input or output bandwidth to be oversubscribed. When the XIP-3901’s maximum input or output bandwidth is oversubscribed (total streams require more than the available bandwidth of the SFP cartridge or network capacity), the symptoms are that of packet loss: missing blocks of video, audio dropout, and random loss of ancillary data on both processing channels.

PTP Panel Multicast Precision Timing Protocol (described in IEEE Standard 1588) is used to distribute time across a packet network. The XIP-3901-JPEG-XS uses PTP as a system clock and for output alignment using a frame buffer. It is used on both media ports (ETH1 and ETH2) for BMCA redundancy. This supports Best Master Clock Algorithm (BMCA) as per IEEE-1588-2008.
Page 270 Configuring the XIP 3901-JPEG-XS v1.0 Application with its Web Interface PTP Panel Property Description Domain Specify the PTP Domain Number the card is to use to synchronize its clock. A domain is Number an interacting set of clocks that synchronize to one another using PTP. Clocks are assigned to a domain by virtue of the contents of the Subdomain name or the domain Number (IEEE 1588-2008) fields in PTP messages they receive or generate.

Page 281: Maintenance & Troubleshooting
IMPORTANT The rear panel must be installed before a XIP-3901 is inserted into the frame. The XIP-3901 must be removed from the frame before the rear panel can be removed.
Page 282: Replacing A Rear Panel
Schedule these maintenance operations during off hours when the system is not in use. Diagnostics The XIP-3901’s electronic circuitry generates heat that must be shed by forcing air to move across heat-generating components. Reduced air flow or high ambient temperature results in heat build-up within temperature-sensitive components within the XIP-3901.
Page 283: Critical Temperature Alarm Corrective Actions
To confirm that the XIP-3901 has an abnormally-sounding fan, during off hours when the system is not in use, eject the XIP-3901 card from the frame to verify that the distinctive sound stops and take corrective actions (see below).
Page 284: Replacing The Xip-3901'S Fan
• Compressed air to remove dust from the XIP-3901. • Needle-nose pliers to separate push pins from the PCB. • Curved tweezers to disconnect the fan’s power connector from the XIP-3901’s main board. • Anti-static bag or anti-static work surface to reduce the possibility of electrostatic discharge damage to the XIP-3901’s electronics.
