Alignment capability provides a clean switching of any of the sources from the IPG-4901. The IPG-4901 I/O module may be combined in the same chassis with other GV Node or GV Matrix modules to create an even more versatile distributed edge-routing node.
GUIDE TO INSTALLATION AND OPERATION • Compatible with GV Node and GV Matrix platforms. • Configured and controlled by Grass Valley’s GV Convergent SDN platform, or by the proven iControl system. • Uses Universal Reference Signal from the frame controller. 1.3 Functional Block Diagrams Figure 1-1 IPG-4901 Functional Block Diagram –...
The local control panel on the GV Node can be used to move through a menu of status reports and parameter settings (see section • Grass Valley’s iControl system can be used to access the card’s operating parameters from a remote computer, using a convenient graphical user interface (GUI) (see section IPG-4901 | 3...
Once the rear connector panel is in place, install the IPG-4901 card as follows: 1. Open the front door of the GV Node frame. 2. Slide the IPG-4901 card into the slot (swivel handle at the top) and push gently on the handle to seat the connectors.
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.
4.1 The iControl graphic interface window The basic window structure for the IPG-4901 is shown in figure 5.1. The window identification line gives the card type (IPG-4901) and the slot number where the card is installed in its Densité frame.
