Enabling IP redundancy

In the screen shot below, the IP Redundancy setting can be used to enable or disable IP Redundancy when receiving and recording video. This setting is displayed only when both channels of a redundancy-capable channel pair are configured for Player/Recorder mode and the Input Type is 10GigE. Changing the IP Redundancy setting on one channel of a redundancy-capable channel pair automatically causes the same setting change on the other channel of a redundancy-capable channel pair.

Channel Configuration

Remote Video Input Present

The Remote video input present indicator shows the presence of the Remote IP media stream. This status indicator is displayed only when IP Redundancy is enabled and the channel's Input Type is configured for 10GigE. In contrast, the standard Video Input Present signal indicator that is always displayed for a channel's Video Input provides status information for the Local IP media stream.

Color Definition
Black Remote IP media stream is not present.
Green Remote IP media stream is present.

Local/Remote

The Local/Remote indicator displays the state of the IP Redundancy fail-over logic. This will also be the channel that is performing the recording process. This status indicator is displayed only when IP Redundancy is enabled and the channel's Input Type is configured for 10GigE.

Color Definition
Green IP media stream via 10GigE connector associated with the channel whose configuration tab is being viewed.
Black IP media stream via 10GigE connector associated with the paired channel.

If there is a signal loss on one of the two streams of a redundant pair, then we can tell which stream is missing by using the Video Input Present indicators. If both streams are present, then this indicator helps to determine which stream is currently "active." If neither stream is present, then this indicator will either be Green or Black, but the state is not important.
