ChannelFlex Suite supported combinations

The overall load on system resources must be considered when using multiple inputs and outputs per channel on multiple channels, as each input/output stream consumes system resources. FTP transfers, off-speed play, and media drive rebuilds also consume system resources, so they must be considered as well. The channel combinations illustrated below are typical applications that maximize ChannelFlex channels. These combinations have been qualified by Grass Valley, with the following considerations:

• These combinations assume an HD format with 100 Mbps data rate, which produces a high load on system resources.

• If you use off-speed play above 1x at the same time an FTP transfer is underway, the available FTP bandwidth can be reduced by as much as 50%.

• If a media drive rebuild is in progress it can result in a slight reduction in available FTP bandwidth.
