Configure SDI output
The Receiver feed has the ability to output baseband video as SDI, currently this is supported using the SFP outputs from the accelerator card.
Before you start, ensure:
- At least one receiver feed is running.
- One of the following options is present:
- MKP/HWO/SFP-M/SDI/3G/C
- MKP/HWO/SFP-M/SDI/12G/C
- MKP/HWO/SFP-M/SDI/12G/F
- Or the equivalent UPH option
-
From the Home page, select the RECEIVER item from the required feed then click .
-
In the Parameters window, select the Output tab.
-
Select the Output interface required from the drop down menu in the SDI window. Output interfaces are configured.
- Ports that are already in use by other running services are listed in the drop down menu with the name of the service which is currently using them.
- When a feed with a Receiver element is created the SDI output interface is always assigned to SDI1.
⚠️
If another feed is already using this interface when you try to start the service then it will be blocked from starting until:
- An unused port is selected for the new service.
- The current running feed is stopped.
- The feed is reconfigured to avoid a clash.
If the feed is blocked from starting for this reason, then the alarm icon displays the following alarm:
Insufficient Resources – SD 1 port already in use
