The 7700GPI VistaLINK® General Purpose Interface module links third-party equipment and Evertz VistaLINK® Network Management System (NMS). Third-party equipment with fault alarming capabilities through General Purpose Interface outputs (GPOs) can communicate fault alarm conditions to the VistaLINK® application software through this GPO to SNMP translator, thereby extending fault-monitoring capabilities across the broadcast network.
Equipped with a Linear Time Code (LTC) input, the 7700GPI module can synchronize logged fault alarms within the VistaLINK® application software with the facility clock for accurate alarm acknowledgement and record keeping. In addition, it is possible to label each GPI input for easier notification. The label follows the fault message (trap) through to the VistaLINK® PRO server and onto email/pager notifications (if enabled).
The GPI module is also equipped with three NC/NO GPI outputs (GPO) and can be utilized to relay a "message" from the VistaLINK® system to connected gear. Configuration changes or additional fault alarming is possible through this interface.
VistaLINK® offers remote monitoring, control and configuration capabilities via Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) giving the flexibility to manage operations, including signal monitoring and module configuration from SNMP-capable control systems (Manager or NMS).
