GV Node Manager
GV Node Manager provides a visual control panel to help you manage a GV Node frame, and the modules it contains.
For
GV Node Manager to discover the cards housed in a GV Node frame, you must configure a Communicator service for the frame (
"Communicators"). Each frame typically includes at least the following modules:
• the frame controller, which is represented by two control panels in iControl: Frame Controller, and Frame Reference;
• the IFM-2T internal fabric module;
• and a number of Densité cards (e.g., XIO-4901, KMX-4911).
The GV Node Manager control panel lists every Densité card in the GV Node frame’s slots, and their rear panel model (if present). For a compatible card, you can select signal-type options, and select which inputs and outputs are enabled, between the card and the Internal Fabric Module, to match the card’s actual physical configuration.
For example, the XIO-4901 3G/HD/SD SDI input/output card supports audio embedding/de-embedding, as a software option (MDX). If this option has been activated, then GV Node Manager allows you to enable or disable audio embedding/de-embedding on a card’s SDI inputs and outputs. If your system is monitoring MADI signals (supported at the card’s inputs/outputs 8 and 9), then disabling the MDX option lets you select MADI at the inputs and outputs matching your physical configuration. The total numbers of enabled inputs (to the Fabric module), and output (from the Fabric module) are indicated at the bottom of the control panel. These totals exclude MADI inputs and outputs.
