- Additional configurations and status are currently available via in-band REST API
- Management interface support (NMOS In-band)
- NMOS (Out-band) through control lan2 is on the roadmap
- NMOS is always enabled. The input stream selection occurs through network discovery and communication with facility automation.
- NMOS uses the address of the unit’s in-band network interface for communications. When the monitor boots up, it actively scans the network for an NMOS registry using MDNS/DNS. If it finds one, it will provide the NMOS registry its ID and its capabilities
- If the Monitor does not find an NMOS registry, it continues to announce itself through MDNS so that it can be discovered. Once discovered, it registers itself with whatever has discovered the unit through MDNS.
- IP 2110 Video Format Frame Rate Support
- The IP 2110 module supports the use of one frame rate type for both the Main and Aux channels’ video format settings
- The frame rate type can be either integer, for video formats such as 1080p50, or fractional, for video formats such as 1080p59.94
- In the event Main and Aux are set to different video formats frame rates, loss of signal to one channel will be observed. i.e., the last channel (Main/Aux) that is set will control the video format frame rate being applied. Thus, when a channel’s video format is set with a frame rate that does not match the other channel’s video format, the newly configured channel’s signal will work while the other channel’s signal will be lost
- You will see a warning about the frame rate configuration when hovering over the video format field in the web UI
- Ember+ and Plura IP 2110 monitor System Log Access
- The Ember+ and IP 2110 system logs can be accessed via the Web UI by appending ‘/logs’ to the Control LAN 2 IP address in your browser address bar.
- For example, if your Control LAN 2 IP address is 10.0.1.209, you can access the web UI logs here: 10.0.1.209/logs
- To return to the normal web UI control and configuration, use your browser’s back button
