Router
12.1. Creating Ingests from a Video Router
12.1.1. Purpose and Context of Use
Video routers can be used with IPDirector to increase the number of incoming feeds
manageable by EVSserver recorder channels. An EVSserver recorder channel will be
physically connected to an OUTport of the router, so the recorder channel records the
feed received by the INport of the router associated to this OUTport.
As described in section "Managing the Links with a Video Router" on page 21, IPDirector
users with appropriate user rights have the possibility to manually switch the assignment
between router INports and router OUTports.
Ingest Scheduler offers an additional way to switch this assignment. When users
schedule an ingest, they can choose to use a specific router INport, which can differ from
the one currently used. The switch between the current OUT port-IN port association to
the other one will be done when the ingest starts to be recorded.
A growing clip can only be recorded from the router INsource currently associated to the
selected recorder channel.
12.1.2. Ingest Overview Display
Router INPort
When an ingest is scheduled on a recorder channel associated to a router INport, or when
a growing clip is started on such a recorder, the name of the INport is displayed within the
block:
INPorts Switch Display
In case the router INport to be used for the scheduled ingest is not the same as the one
currently associated to the recorder channel, the names of both INports are shown on
each side of the block and the switch is represented by a vertical dotted line in the channel
track:
