Configuring the Remote Display Unit (RDU)
A Remote Display Unit (RDU) lets you see the clips playing on each channel and the status of each clip.
The RDU usually resides in the control room so that operators can monitor playback status during a broadcast. There are two different RDUs you can use with GV STRATUS Rundown: RDU 1510 or TSI 1000.
| Setting | Options | Description | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Type of Display Unit | RDU-1510; TSI-1000 | Select your type of Remote Display Unit. | |
| Select Unit | 1; 2; 3 | For the TSI, select the unit that you want to use. You can connect the GV STRATUS Rundown system to up to three TSI Remote Display Units. The default values of these units are 1,2, and 3. You can configure these to more appropriate names for your needs. | |
| Control | Com Port; Machine Name | For the RDU 1510, select the Com Port on the GV STRATUS Rundown that the RDU is connected to (usually COM1). For the TSI 1000, enter the IP address or the host name of the TSI 1000 machine. | |
