GUIDE TO INSTALLATION AND OPERATION 2 Installation 2.1 Installation of Rear Connector Panel The IPG-4901 card is designed to fit into Grass Valley’s GV Node IP aggregation, processing and edge routing platform. Each modular card designed for this platform is associated with a rear connector panel that provides both internal and external connectivity for the card.
3 Local control using the GV Node’s control panel The GV Node’s local control panel is fastened to the front of the controller card, and accessed through an aperture in the frame door. To access the menu for this IPG-4901, touch the virtual button corresponding to the card (identified by card type and slot number) in the home screen.
GUIDE TO INSTALLATION AND OPERATION 3.1 Status Monitoring The status of the IPG-4901 is reported by the outline of the card’s access button in the home page. The outline’s color indicates error status: To determine the type of error that causes the error status, select the card and scroll down the status items in the menu.
4 Remote control using iControl The IPG-4901 can be remotely controlled using Grass Valley’s iControl system. This manual describes the control panels associated with the IPG-4901 and their use. Please consult the iControl User’s Guide for information about setting up and operating iControl. In iControl Navigator or iControl Websites, double-click on the IPG-4901 icon to open the control panel.

GUIDE TO INSTALLATION AND OPERATION Section 2. The left portion of the window contains selection buttons for all of the individual panels, which become highlighted when they are selected. The main window section (3) then displays the selected panel, all of which are described in detail below.
Gateway-to-ETH port associations: ETH Port Gateways Gateways 10-14 ETH1 15-18 ETH2 NOTE – a Gateway must be ENABLED in the GV Node Manager before it can be controlled from the iControl interface. See page 46 for instructions. 4.2.2 Gateway Config window This window shows the current configuration and status of all gateways on the card, and provides controls to modify their settings.
Page 19
GUIDE TO INSTALLATION AND OPERATION Enter data and configure settings as shown in this figure: Figure 4-4 Gateway Table data entry Gateway Name Each Gateway is linked to a GV Node fabric input or output. In the Gateway column, we have the fabric I/O line.
Page 20
Stream Address: When ETH2 is disabled or in Aggregation mode, we only have one IP stream associated with each Gateway. When ETH2 Operation mode is set to Redundancy, we have two IP streams associated with the Gateway – Primary Stream and Redundancy stream.
Page 21
GUIDE TO INSTALLATION AND OPERATION protocol will request multicast streams for all sources. Stream Formats You may independently enable or disable the two streaming types supported by the IPG-4901, using the EN checkboxes for each gateway: SMPTE 2022-6 Video with embedded audio ...
Page 23
GUIDE TO INSTALLATION AND OPERATION ETH port.: This column shows the ETH port on which we are receiving or transmitting an IP stream. When the ETH2 port is not used (ETH2 disabled) this column is hardcoded to ETH1. When the ETH2 port is used to send or receive more IP Streams (ETH2 Operation mode = Aggregation), ETH port has to be set to either ETH1 or ETH2.

OUT from fabric to Green SDI is valid. IP Stream IP Stream settings are valid. Orange Not a valid multicast. Unicast address not resolved by ARP. No SDI from fabric. SDI from fabric not valid. SDI from fabric scan rate error. SDI format does not match gateway format.
GUIDE TO INSTALLATION AND OPERATION 4.2.3 Gateway – IN tab Each IN-to-fabric gateway (Gateways 10-18) has an active tab in the Gateway panel, labeled IN 1 through IN 9. Figure 4-5 Gateway panel - lower portion – SDI output configuration The controls and indicators in these tabs allow the user to set up audio and video output timing.
Page 26
Status SMPTE 2022-6 Timing To Reference The ETH1 and ETH2 timings are measured by taking the time difference between reference and the marker bits in the S2022-6 streams. These values are displayed as values (in sec). Measurement less than a field in interlaced format and less than ½ frame for progressive format will be seen as “input is late to Reference ”...

GUIDE TO INSTALLATION AND OPERATION Link Offset The Link Offset value is used when configuring the AES-67 in TR04 mode. See the Configuration section below for details. Configuration Controls Two configuration control sections are provided. These are used, in conjunction with the Status data from the ETH1 and ETH2 status displays, to configure the SDI output timing, and to correctly integrate AES-67 audio into the SDI outputs.
4.2.4 How to set up the timing on the IPG-4901 AES-67 Timing You can use the values presented in the ETH1 and ETH2 Link Latency displays, in conjunction with the following information, to calculate the minimum value for the Link Offset. ...
GUIDE TO INSTALLATION AND OPERATION 4.2.5 Gateway – System tab Figure 4-6 Gateway - System SDI Output on Error: Specify the SDI output behavior when the related gateway is on error. Behavior Output a signal in the appropriate format, with the picture being a full-screen color slate as shown in the sample box. The color is configurable: Click on the color sample to open the Color Selection window.
Default Formats: The assignment of a default HD format controls an output HD stream when no valid SMPTE 2022-6 has yet to be detected. Following the reception of a valid signal, this takes priority over the default value. Payload Type: Video and audio payload type identifier values, defaulted to SMPTE recommended values, but editable for the user.
