Page 19: Switch Control
7700 MultiFrame Manual 7780R2x1-ASI-CS-2 Dual Compressed TS Automatic Smart Switch 5.2. SWITCH CONTROL The Switch Control tab is for configuring the mode and method for both A and B clean switches. The controls are identical and independent for each. Both switches are identical in operation and configuration so for ease of illustration and explanation we will only consider switch A in this manual. -
Page 20: Clean Switch A Controls
7700 MultiFrame Manual 7780R2x1-ASI-CS-2 Dual Compressed TS Automatic Smart Switch 5.2.1. Clean Switch A Controls 5.2.1.1. Switch Mode Switch Mode options are “Manual”, “Auto-Manual Return” and “Auto Switch”. Normal operating modes are “Auto Switch” or “Auto-Manual Return;” however, “Manual” can be used during engineering work for example to prevent switching. -
Page 21: Clean Switch A Settings
7700 MultiFrame Manual 7780R2x1-ASI-CS-2 Dual Compressed TS Automatic Smart Switch 5.2.2. Clean Switch A Settings 5.2.2.1. Switch Method Options are “Packet Matching”, “GOP boundary” and “Packet Switch”. Here we select how the switch finds its switch points. The operation of these three modes has different effects on the output and the selection of which depends upon the inputs. -
Page 22: Reset Switch
7700 MultiFrame Manual 7780R2x1-ASI-CS-2 Dual Compressed TS Automatic Smart Switch Note: It is important to select the correct mode for the stream configuration in use. • MPTS - SPTS: Options are SPTS or MPTS. In SPTS mode the PCR will be re-stamped on the output and should ideally be used in GOP Boundary mode. -
Page 23: Switch Minimum Delay
7700 MultiFrame Manual 7780R2x1-ASI-CS-2 Dual Compressed TS Automatic Smart Switch 5.2.2.6. Switch minimum delay The standard time a signal spends in clean switch (Input to output delay) depends on multiple parameters such as input 1 to input 2 time difference, Bitrate, switching mode and how much time the streams spend in buffer. -
