NVX Switchingh in simpl


 

Hi,
First NVX install, and having a struggle switching from the program.

Following on from the advice previously given here, I have installed a Luxul POE switch and added my E30 and D30 units. I have successfully configured my subscriptions and can switch sources from the decoder web gui.

What I am struggling to do is switch sources from my simpl program. My NVX training was quite some time ago (pre release of the 30 series) but IIRC it was possible to do basic analogue switching, the values equating to the stream subscription list position. Looking at the D30 symbol I am assuming that this is the "video_Out" signal on the XIO routing sub-symbol? if so changing values here does not implement switching!?

Am I looking in the wrong place / using the wrong signal /missing additional logic here?

Cant find an example program to confer with...im sure its something simple, can anyone point me in the right direction?

Is the switch on the same network as the processor or a separate vlan ??

Single subnet flat network 192.168.1.0 (setup in my office and stand-alone from anything else). I should mention that the processor in use is a CP2E as this is what is currently installed on the site we will be implementing the NVX to.

Site does have VLANS configured but will cross that bridge when we move the hardware from the office to the site!


 

Hmm, well I now have it working on a 2-series........

I have written a quick and dirty module to collect the input stream locations from the E30's and route to the D30's on receipt of an analogue value.

Seems to work fine.

I found a document about using the XIO symbol video out analogue to switch values but it seems to also require entering the subscription streams into a section under an "XIO routing" tab on the decoder....I cant seem to find this on the D30 GUI running V6 firmware....I have setup subscriptions on the decoder under the "subscriptions" tab by entering them manually, but this doesnt seem to allow the Video_Out signal to select them.

Sending the location string works fine though, so ill take that for now.

Site is having a processor / TP / NAX upgrade once we have rewritten the program and GUI to suit.


 

2-series does in fact allow you to add NVX devices, though I would be careful about scale...Seems that your system is pretty small..

regarding SMW Programming/Routing:
I have always just used the StreamLocation serial in/outs from the NVX device symbols. You don't need to do any subscribing, which is only needed (I think) when you're using the web browser though I don't even know that its needed for that...

In SMW, set up a programmatic serial matrix logic and route the 'StreamLocation_F' output signals from the encoder device symbols to the 'StreamLocation' input signals on the decoder device symbols.
If you're using any of the 300-series endpoints, you'll need to initialize the Video Source Analog inputs on the Decoders for select the stream input instead of the local HDMI inputs, on the 300-series Encoders, you'll use the Video Source analog input to select the input HDMI source desired...

That's all that's needed for routing, and it is very scalable...
