Configuration
This chapter explains how to use the user interface to set up the TSI-100. This discussion is based on the use of
DashBoard through a network connection. The order of sections in this chapter follows the work-flow required to
setup the TSI-100 for operation. It is recommended that you proceed through the following sections in order to
achieve the best possible understanding of the product.
Configuration
This section provides a summary of the initial tasks you may wish to perform before configuring your card for
detecting a change in a transport stream source.
General Settings
Before proceeding to any of the other sections, please ensure that these settings are correct, as they will have an
effect on the operation of the other functions.
To configure the general settings
1. Select the
Settings
tab.
2. Type a unique name for your card in the
Card ID
field. This is especially useful if you have more than one
TSI-100 in a frame. If this field is blank, the name is just “TSI-100”.
3. You can save the
Configuration
of the card to a file on a PC by clicking
Save
.
The Factory Defaults
Reset
button clears all configuration settings and restores the settings to as they were
shipped from the factory.
TSID Setup
This section outlines how to configure the card for matching transport stream identifiers (TSID).
To set up the card to detect TSID
1. Select the
TSID Setup
tab.
2. Set the
TSID Value
(4 digit hex value). If the incoming signal contains a TSID that does not match this value,
the GPIOs become active.
3. Set the
Wrong TSID Count
value. This specifies the number of consecutive invalid TSIDs to process before
activating the GPIOs.
4. Set the
No TSID Timeout
value. This specifies the amount of time, in 1/10th of a second, to wait with no
incoming TSID before activating the GPIOs.
Monitoring
The TSI-100 has several alarms that can affect the overall status of the card. This section outlines the three status
tabs for the TSI-100. These Status tabs provide read-only information to help monitor the TSI-100 via DashBoard.
The indicators in the Status tabs can vary in severity from green (valid) to red (alarm). DashBoard reports the most
severe alarm for a single field.
Product Status
The
Product
tab provides read-only information, such as board revision, serial number, and rear module type. This
information is helpful to a Ross Video technician when there are questions about the operation of the unit.
