To change variant we need to edit one file on the CE1. This file is located at: | To change variant we need to edit one file on the CE1. This file is located at: | ||
- | / | + | / |
| | ||
+ | The file is called | ||
| | ||
+ | dta_2174b_variant_force | ||
+ | \\ | ||
+ | You can either edit this file in vi, and change the parameter to be either a 1 (for HD) or a 2 (for UHD). After editing you need to reboot the unit. | ||

+ | ==== Multiple SDI Cards ==== | ||
+ | If you have multiple SDI cards (say in EL G9 where you could have 3 cards) you can use the following: | ||
\\ | \\ | ||
+ | \\ | ||
+ | Navigate to the following directory: | ||
+ | \\ | ||
+ | / | ||
+ | \\ | ||
+ | There should be a file here called: | ||
+ | dta_217x_platform | ||
+ | \\ | ||
+ | rename this file or you won't be able to create the relevant directory: | ||
+ | \\ | ||
+ | mv dta_217x_platform dta_217x_platform.org | ||
+ | \\ | ||
+ | Now you can create the following directory (ensure you are in / | ||
+ | \\ | ||
+ | mkdir dta_217x_variant | ||
+ | \\ | ||
+ | Navigate to / | ||
+ | \\ | ||
+ | cd / | ||
+ | \\ | ||
+ | To set the card variant type we need to assign a number for that card mode, lets assume we want card 1 in HD mode (variant 1) and card 2 in UHD mode (variant 2): | ||
+ | \\ | ||
+ | echo 1 > / | ||
+ | echo 2 > / | ||
+ | \\ | ||
+ | This file is read at boot, so for the configuration to apply you need to reboot the unit. | ||
+ | \\ | ||
+ | ---- | ||
+ | ==== Variant Modes ==== | ||
+ | < | ||
+ | • Variant 1: | ||
+ | HD SDI input (each input is up to 3G-SDI) | ||
+ | |||
+ | • Variant 2: | ||
+ | 1 UHD channel over 4x3G-SDI on ports 1,2,3 and 4 with DTA-2174B | ||
+ | 1 UHD channel over 4x3G-SDI on ports 1-4 or 5-8 with DTA-2178 | ||
