    Ensure that the same make and model of battery is used if replacement is required (a manufacturer recommended equivalent may be used if the original type is not available). The MV-805 IP Multiviewer can only be serviced by suitably qualified personnel and removal of the battery should only be performed at a SAM service centre.

  • Page 12: Product Overview

    Product Overview Product Overview The MV-805 IP Multiviewer is a software-based multiviewer unit for ‘IP in’ and ‘IP out’ applications. It provides a multiviewer capability for uncompressed, high quality video IP streams in pure IP environments. It is offered in two 1RU hardware turnkey versions.

Figure 3 shows the connection of the MV-805’s multiviewer software application to the unit’s external interfaces. External...

  • Page 17: Network Redundancy

    The MV-805 offers support for network redundancy, ensuring protection of an IP pathway from a multicast IP stream’s source to the MV-805’s destination spigot via second network (Fabric B), see Figure 4. Thus there are two identical Multicast IP streams available.

  • Page 18: Input Video Signal Selection

    In a SAM IP routing system, Steps 1 and 2 above are carried out automatically. The routing of the new multicast IP stream to the MV-805 unit (i.e. step 2 above) is done automatically in the SAM IP routing system. The MV-805 unit then receives the necessary multicast IP stream and the corresponding destination spigot can then gather its new multicast data packets.

    Input Video Signal Selection Product Overview 3.4 3.4.2 Non-SAM IP Routing For non-SAM IP routing systems, a SAM IQTIC modular card is required by the MV-805 to translate SAM protocols into an external third-party control, SDC-01.
