IntroductionOverviewThe Grass Valley iControl Router Software allows you to create a virtual routingenvironment where actual physical router resources are deployed and controlled bysoftware into a customized configuration optimized for your operational needs. Largerouters can be operated as if they were multiple smaller routers. For example, a 64 64router can be operated as if it were three separate smaller routers: for instance, a 64 15router, a 12 5 router and a 32 44 router. Control and monitoring are handled bysoftware, and are readily changed. Each operator benefits by seeing only the resourcesactually being used. This software can also be used as a bridge interface between aKaleido or iControl Web system and a routing device. In this configuration, it will be usedto update UMD text, and for router control functions initiated from the Kaleido oriControl Web user interface. The software includes the following features: bridge interface via TCP-IP for Kaleido and iControl Web software distributed architecture highly configurable unlimited router size1 unlimited number of levels support for logical routers support for a mix of different frame types from different manufacturersCommunications with RoutersThe host computer and the routing devices you wish to control must be interconnectedby an Ethernet cable. Only devices that use an Ethernet connection for control aresupported.Install the appropriate connection, either by using dedicated cabling or through anexisting network.See alsoFor more information, see Routing Switchers Tips and Tricks, on page 73.1.Exceptionally, the iControl Router driver for the SAM (Snell/Pro-Bel) SW-P-08 protocol does notsupport, by default, a matrix larger than 1024 1024. If your router matrix requirements exceed thisupper limit using this protocol, contact Grass Valley technical support.
User Interfaces Available with iControl Router SoftwareConfiguration InterfaceiControl RouterUser GuideUser Interfaces Available with iControl Router SoftwareConfiguration InterfaceThe configuration interface, called iControl Router Configurator, is used for router setup andconfiguration. Use this application to define physical and logical routers.TermDescriptionPhysicalRouterA physical router represents the connection to your existing router (TCP).Configure one physical router for each device you wish to control from theiControl Router software.LogicalRouterA logical router represents an entire physical router, or a subset of a physicalrouter. The operating interfaces handle logical routers.For instance, if you configured one 16 16 physical router, you can create two8 8 logical routers with levels 0 and 1.See alsoFor more information, see Configuration Interface, on page 37.Operating InterfaceThe operating interfaces called Matrix View and Single Bus are client applications used tomonitor and control the logical routers that you defined in iControl Router. They areavailable from the iControl Router Control Web page.See alsoFor more information, see Operating Interface, on page 7.6
Operating InterfaceKey ConceptsThe operating interface consists of several components: Matrix view is designed to provide extended functionality and be a visualrepresentation of the status for the whole logical router (see Matrix View, on page 7). Single Bus window is an interface designed to control one router destination (orgroup of destinations) at a time (see Single Bus Window, on page 10). Router Status window displays router status and labels of all destinations or groupsof destinations (see Router Status Window, on page 13). Exclusion Editor allows you to exclude specified router inputs from appearing onspecified outputs. For example, you may wish to inhibit a video recorder’s outputfrom being fed back to its input (see Exclusion Editor, on page 15). Salvo Editor allows you to create and edit a configuration of crosspoint closures (seeSalvo Editor, on page 20). Groups Editor allows you to create and edit groupings of destinations (see GroupsEditor, on page 24).Matrix View
Key ConceptsiControl RouterMatrix ViewUser GuideThe Matrix View interface allows you to switch crosspoints during operation. Three areas atthe bottom of the window enable crosspoint operation in different modes.See alsoFor more information, see: Matrix View Common Tasks, on page 8 Matrix Menus, on page 9 Destination locks, on page 27 Opening the Matrix View, on page 28Matrix View Common TasksTo do this.do this.Set the system to store all changes made inMatrix view, but NOT implement thosechanges until Take all is clicked.In the Presets area, select Preset.Set the system to implement all changes made In the Presets area, clear Preset.in the Matrix view as soon as they are entered.8Select one or more levels to be switchedIn the Levels area, enable the button(s)corresponding to one or more levels, asrequired.Set the system to switch all levelsIn the Levels area, enable ALL FOLLOW.Set the system to automatically lock changesonce they are takenIn the Presets area, enable Autolock.

Locked selections appear red on the screen. Thecrosspoint, and also the row (destination) label on the left is red.Note: By default, iControl Router uses a force release policy, which allowsreleasing of any crosspoint locks, including locks applied from otherapplications or devices. It is possible to apply a normal release policy fordevices that use the NVEP NV9000 – Device Takes (NP0017) protocol, bysetting a system property (see page 78).Locking can occur in two ways: Clicking on the row label box at the left of the screen opens a window which allowslevels in that row to be locked. Options are: Lock all levels, Unlock all levels, Lock (witha subsidiary menu listing all currently unlocked levels in that row), and Unlock (with asubsidiary menu listing all currently locked levels in that row). The Single Bus Viewoption is also found in this menu. If Autolock is selected in the Preset area, then any change which is taken, in eitherPRESET or TAKE mode, is automatically locked on all levels.Note: Locking occurs immediately; the TAKE/PRESET rules do not apply.27
