Listing Video and Deck Control Ports

007-4403-003 113

Device-speciﬁc You use the SET and GET commands to specify and retrieve the control

values for individual media units that control communication with the

video port and audio.

System-wide You use the SSET and SGET commands to specify and retrieve the

control values for global system values—for example, the log level.

To set or get the conﬁguration variables for a speciﬁc unit, you have to select the subset

of controls you want to set by using STOR (storage) or MED (media). For example:

SET unit-name MED vtr.media.video.input.compression.type dvcpro

GET

unit-name MED vtr.media.video.output.*

These commands set the video compression type to DVCPRO 25 and return all of the

video output controls for the speciﬁed unit.

Listing Video and Deck Control Ports

To display the conﬁguration of video and deck control ports, use the port list command:

PLS

Assigning Audio Inputs

To identify which audio port to use by a given MFCODEC unit, use the SET command

for a unit as shown in the following:

SET unit-name MED vtr.media.audio.input.channel_map.channel_pair “1231”

SET

unit-name MED vtr.media.audio.input.channel_map.source “EEEA”

SET

unit-name MED vtr.media.audio.input.channels 4

Alternately, you can conﬁgure a unit in /usr/vtr/config/device-defaults/*.

For example, in MFCODEC_1 you would enter:

vtr.media.audio.input.channel_map.channel_pair “1231”

vtr.media.audio.input.channel_map.source “EEEA”

vtr.media.audio.input.channels 4
