Setting up Channel Groups
195
The following graphic shows a more visual example of how multiple channel groups can be
created from the same four AirSpeed video server channels.
The first group shows a single channel group configured to create four playback channels
called A, B, C, and D. The next set shows two groups, representing control rooms, with two
playback channels each. Alternatively, the groups can be created from any combination of
channels and used to support simultaneous two-channel playout from two control rooms
sharing the same resources. The last set shows four channel groups, each controlling a single
channel.
The following graphic shows a more visual example of how channel groups are used to
mirror playout for redundancy.
The first group creates a two channel playout solution with both channels mirrored on a
secondary video server for maximum reliability. Whenever a video clip is cued and played
on either of the primary channels, the same clip is also cued and played on the corresponding
mirror channels. The other two groups depict single channel solutions with redundancy.
