Overview

IC2 master, slave, and auto settings are for timing synchronization. They do not enable a separate switching feature.

Applies to

IC2 transmitters and receivers

How master, slave, and auto work

• The timing logic is intended to keep receivers frame-synchronized by adjusting clock frequency.
• Only one master TX and one master RX should exist in the overall system.
• The feature is for timing synchronization only.

Single-switch network design

• Set one RX as master and the remaining RX units as slave.
• Turn on Auto for all receivers in XPOSE.
• If the master powers off, a slave can be selected automatically to take over.
• Apply the same approach on the TX side.

Multi-switch network design

• Set one RX as master and the remaining RX units as slave.
• Turn off Auto for all receivers.
• Auto is avoided here because each switch domain can try to elect its own master after a full power cycle.
• If the fixed master powers off in this design, synchronization issues can appear.

Other operational notes

• Group selection in Input Management is primarily for fast layout management when you have more than four transmit sources.
• Custom layout work should be done in Video Management.
• Both mic-level and line-level audio can be used on audio input, though line level is generally more effective.
• Factory reset is available under Advanced after selecting the target IC node.
• IP cameras are added as input nodes by entering the camera IP plus main and sub streams manually.
