Overview The SEL-FR3 Selenio Frame supports primary and secondary (redundant) power supplies,
control modules, genlock input boards, and Ethernet boards. It has the capacity for 14
processing modules, and includes one GPI In/Out module.
The processing modules communicate to the control modules via a 100Base-T Ethernet
network., while a low-level communication bus (midplane interface) provides module
discovery, power down, command, and control for application modules. The SEL-FR3 also
supports an internal 1000Base-T GigE Data network between all processing modules and
control modules, and SDI internal routing (up to 3 Gb/s) between application modules and
controller modules.
The front panel houses four fans and a display board. Air cooling moves from the front to
the back.
Secondary power
supply GPI in/out Primary power supply
Environment Selenio frames are cooled by forced air drawn in from the front of the frame, and exhausted
through vents between the back modules at the rear of the frame. There must be free
passage for air flow on to allow for adequate ventilation.
Selenio Frame frames require an ambient temperature of between 32° to 104°F (0° and
40°C), with a relative humidity of 10-90% (non-condensing). The frame can only maintain
proper operating temperatures when the front panel is closed.
The SEL-FR3 frame occupies a vertical space of 3RU. Both and use standard front mounting
ears located on the frame chassis. You must provide adequate space behind the mounting
ears, and clearance for the connecting cables at the rear of the frame.
CAUTION:
To ensure proper ventilation, keep the front panel closed, and install blank back
modules behind empty module slots. The frame will overheat if you do not
observe these precautions.
Frame Options
1 Locate two tongue-shaped frame support brackets and two slotted rack support brackets in
the packing box. (See Figure 1-3.)
CAUTION:
Do not use screws longer than those provided for the rear support brackets. Five 4-
40 x1/4-inch flat-head screws are provided for this purpose. Longer screws could
cause internal damage.
3 Attach the two slotted rack support brackets at the rear of the rack, with the slots facing
inside.
4 Push the Selenio Frame frame into the front of the rack, ensuring that the frame support
brackets slide into the slotted rack supports.

5 Open the front panel and then slide the correct front modules into the slots that match the
back modules.
6 Push the module until it seats properly, ensuring the edge of the module is flush with the
edge of the module guides, and the square extractor handle clicks into its slot.
7 Install the remaining back and front modules, make all of the necessary rear connections,
and then close the front panel.
CAUTION:
To prevent overheating during frame operation, keep the front panel closed and all
back module slots covered.

the slot.
Back Module
To remove a back module from a video conversion module frame, unscrew the module, and
then pull it straight out. Then re-attach a blank back module to ensure proper frame
ventilation.
Controller Modules
Selenio Frames operate with or without a redundant secondary controller module. To insert
a controller module, push the module straight into its slot until the LEDs near the handle
light up. To remove a controller module, place two fingers in the handle, and pull straight
out.
When a redundant controller is not installed, a blank airflow card must be inserted in its
space. This card ensures the proper cooling of the frame.

Back Connectors
Etherne The Selenio Frame supports redundant primary and secondary Ethernet modules, providing
t control and data ports that are connected to the resource module via the midplane
interface. The SELOPT-RR option provides dual RJ45 connectors; the SELOPT-RO option
Ports provides an RJ45 connector, and an SFP optical connector.
External The Selenio Frame supports redundant primary and secondary genlock modules. These
Reference modules are designed for in-field replacement. Each genlock module includes a
(Genlock) loop-through BNC and provides DC clamping for the composite video reference. The
composite video reference is provided to both resource modules and to all 14 product
modules.
GPI In/Out One GPI In/Out module provides two GPI inputs and two GPI outputs, configurable by the
control system software. The GPI outputs ware relay-controlled contact closures that are in
turn controlled by the active control module. GPI outputs are normally opened when the
Selenio Frame is powered up and one resource module is operational and active. GPI
outputs are closed when the system is powered down.

Internal Function
Controller The Selenio Frame supports a primary and a secondary controller (resource module); each
can draw up to 300W of power. One controller must always be installed in the frame. Each
controller supports an optional daughter /mezzanine module containing a GigE switch,
required for the data Ethernet network.
Each product module in the Selenio Frame has one dedicated low-level communication
(LLC) signal, which is connected to both the primary and secondary controllers.
Power The SEL-FR3 supports a primary and a secondary 12V power supply for redundancy. During
Supplies normal operation, the two power supplies will load share; if one power supply fails, a single
power supply can provide the requirements of a fully-stuffed frame.
The AC power supply operates between 90 - 250 VAC and will auto-detect the line voltage.
Laser
Safety WARNING: Use of controls, adjustments, and procedures other than those specified
in this document may result in hazardous laser radiation exposure.
Optical fiber telecommunication systems use semiconductor laser transmitters that emit
infrared light that is normally not visible to the human eye. Although a conventional laser
produces a small beam of light, the power density is very high, and it can damage your
eyes.
If a beam of laser light enters the eye, the eye magnifies and focuses the energy on the
retina. The energy that reaches the retina can be as much as 100,000 times more than at
the cornea and, as a result, it can burn the retina.
Laser transmission products are classified in four major groups (Class 1, 2, 3, and 4),
according to their emissions and potential for causing injury. Fiber optic transmitter modules
in this series are designated Class 1.
Unlike some other laser designs, semiconductor lasers have a highly divergent beam that
decreases rapidly with distance. The greater the distance, the less energy will enter the eye,
and the less potential risk for eye injury.
Under normal operating conditions, optical fiber telecommunication systems are completely
enclosed; nonetheless, observe the following precautions:
1 Avoid exposing the eye to emissions from unterminated, energized optical connectors at
close distances.
2 Ensure that only authorized, trained personnel use optical test equipment during
installation or servicing.
3 Turn off all laser sources before scanning a fiber with an optical test set.
4 Keep all unauthorized personnel away from the immediate area of the optical fiber systems
during installation and service.
For guidance on the safe use of optical fiber communication systems in the workplace,
consult ANSI Z136.2, American National Standard for Safe Use of Lasers in the U.S. or
outside the U.S., IEC-60825, Part 2.
Label The label shown in Figure 1-11 is applicable to Class 1 laser products.

Inspection
To inspect and clean the fibers, follow these steps:
WARNING!
Eye damage may occur if an optical instrument such as a microscope, magnifying
glass, or eye loupe is used to stare at an energized fiber end.
Dry Cleaning
If you are using cartridge- or pocket-style dry cleaning tools, follow the manufacturer’s
directions. If you are using lint-free wipes, follow these steps:
1 Fold the lint-free wipe four to eight times into a square, taking care to avoid touching the
cleaning surface of the wipe.
2 Lightly wipe the fiber tip in the central portion of the lint-free wipe.
3 Repeat the wiping action on another clean section of the wipe or a new wipe.
4 Inspect the connector again with the fiberscope.
5 If the connection is clean, return to the installation steps.
If the connector is still dirty, proceed to the wet cleaning instructions.
Wet Cleaning
Using 99.8% isopropyl alcohol and lint-free wipes, follow these steps to wet clean the fiber:
CAUTION!
Do not scrub the fiber. Excessive rubbing will leave scratches.
6 Dry clean any remaining residue, and then inspect the connector again.
7 If the contamination persists, repeat the dry and wet cleaning procedure until the endface is
clean.
If the fiber end still remains dirty after repeated cleaning attempts, call Customer
Service for further instructions.
If the fiber end is clean, return to the installation instructions.
2 Controller Configuration,
Monitoring, and Control
Overview A Selenio frame and its installed modules can be controlled through Ethernet using the
Selenio Controller module.
Initial Configuration
Before you can connect to a Selenio frame using a web browser, you must configure the IP
address of the frame. Follow these steps:
1 Connect one end of a crossover or passthrough cable to the Ethernet port on the front of
the Selenio frame, and connect the other end of the cable to a PC with the required
software.
The frame automatically detects the cable type and assigns an IP address to the computer
so that they are on the same subnet. You can also set the IP address on the frame itself if
the frame has a front control panel.
3 Select Configuration and ensure that the Frame Controller is selected in the tree view at
the left of the screen.
4 On the Frame Control Panel, select General.
5 On the Basic screen, enter an IP address for the frame.
The IP address should be consistent with your network’s configuration. For more
information, contact your network administrator.
1 In your browser, enter the IP address of the Selenio frame and click Enter to connect.
If the Selenio Controller module is off or in a failed state (i.e., disconnected), then you will
see a “browser cannot display the page” or “browser could not connect” message.
For more information on configuring user IDs and passwords, see Managing User
Accounts on page 55.
3 Click Enter.
The Selenio Control Interface appears.
The number of PCs connected to the Selenio frame has an impact on the frame’s ability to
present data in a timely fashion. If a large number of users are logged into the frame,
response time may become slower. Up to ten separate PCs can be connected to the Selenio
frame at any one time. If additional users attempt to connect to the Selenio frame, they will
receive a message:
When you are not actively using the interface for the Selenio frame, please log off out of
the system.
Note: The IP address is assigned to the frame, not the controller module. When you change
Controller modules, you should not have to reassign the IP address.

the Fault was issued.
Fault Name The name of the fault, as defined by the triggering module
Data If necessary, the triggering module uses this field to present
more information about the fault; this field can be empty
Fault Log The fault log is primarily for troubleshooting purposes. It can contain up to 10,000 faults or
1 MB of data. When you download or refresh the fault log, you must load the entire log.
Opening the If you have previously opened a fault log during this session (since connecting this PC to the
Fault Log frame), when you click on the Fault Log tab, the downloaded log is automatically opened.
Because the log is downloaded to a cache on the PC, to see the most recent faults, you
need to refresh it.
• To delete the contents of the Fault Log, click Clear Fault Log.
When the fault log has been cleared and new faults are generated, the first new fault
index will start again 1.
Sorting Fault By default, the fault Log sorts faults by their index number, with the most recent fault first.
You can sort by the fault column headers.

Rows in the fault Log indicate the state or severity of a fault. Rows can have the following
colors:
Using the By sorting the rows in the fault log, you can determine how long a fault takes to be
Fault Log acknowledged and cleared and the frequency with which various devices have certain types
of faults. For example, by sorting by the Fault Name column, you could retrieve the
following sequence of events:
• A fault initially appears in the log, with its color indicating its severity (red or yellow).
• The fault is acknowledged by any operator on the system, and another row with that
fault on it appears, but this time in orange.
• The error condition is corrected, and the fault appears a third time in the fault log, but
this time the row is white.
Note: You will not see this dynamically in the fault log. To view fault receipts,
acknowledgements, and clears on the fly, use the Active faults panel. See Active Faults
Panel on page 28.
• Up to 14 thumbnails, one per slot, displaying at a resolution of 128 x 96, and updating

Controller Configuration, Monitoring, and Control
The output type that is displayed is determined by the controller module. If no other users
are connected to the Selenio frame, the display will show the same type of output that it
displayed the last time it was used. If other users are connected to the frame, any user can
change the display, so you will see the type of video (either up to 14 thumbnails, or a single
HD stream) that was most recently selected by any user on the system.
Switching All viewers on all PCs connected to the Selenio frame will see the same video. Before
the Video switching the streaming view type, be sure that you are not interfering with someone else’s
critical path.
Streaming

Viewing Thumbnails
To change to thumbnails from high-end video, follow these steps:
3 If you are sure this will not interfere with other users, click on the high-end streaming
option.
Controls to the high-end streaming video include Play and Pause. The Selenio controller
module does not resize the video, so it may appear with a border. Audio overlay appears or
does not appear on the streaming video based on its setting in Thumbnail mode.

Click a module
to view the
options for that
module
The following sections describe the functions behind each of the buttons on this screen:
Setting Configuration and feedback parameters for various functional areas of the frame are
General divided into the following sections.
Parameters
Basic
On this panel, you can enter a name for your frame and set the frame’s clock to a specific
time server. You can also enter UTC day and time.
DejaView
The Selenio DejaView feature allows parameter settings for a specific slot to be saved on
the Controller module, so if the module is replaced in the slot with another module of the
same type, the parameter settings are automatically be loaded onto the replacement
module. DejaView can be enabled or disabled per slot.
By default, DejaView is off for every slot. If you make extensive use of module redundancy
within your configuration and need to replace a card, if DejaView is selected the controller
module will provision that slot the exact same way as the previous (failed) module. This
helps restore services quicker and allows for replacement hardware to be installed without
the help of engineering supervisors.
Note: You can achieve similar functionality using Presets. See Using Presets on page 70.
Hardware
Settings on the top portion of this panel determine whether a fault is triggered when
specific hardware (primary and secondary power supply and physical front panel display on
the frame) are not available. If these hardware components are not part of your
configuration, disable these faults so they do not trigger all the time.
Selenio also allows you to indicate which modules go in what slots. You can save this
configuration so that when inserting a new module that does not match with the
configuration, or when removing the module, the Controller triggers a fault. Module Save
saves the current detected setup (which device is in which slot). Module Clear deletes this
configuration.
TSG
The parameters on this panel define the test signal that is provided to different modules
through the Connection Router.
Reference
The Reference panel shows the status of the external reference (Genlock) and reference
inputs for the frame and allows you to choose which one to use.
When using an external reference to the frame, if Input Reference Source Select is set to
Auto, the controller module automatically switches to the internal reference signal if it
detects the absence of the external reference signal.
The Reference Absent fault is not issued if the fault trigger is less than the time it takes to
switch to the internal reference (usually within a few seconds). Adjust the trigger time
accordingly if a Reference Absent fault is needed.
Reboot
Contains options to reboot an individual module or the entire system (the frame and all its
modules). To reboot the Selenio Controller module, you must reboot the system.
Note: To view information about a processing module, select that module in the navigation
tree at the left of the screen.
General
This panel displays information about the frame’s state, including whether various LEDs are
active (indicating that there are faults with modules in the system).
Physical
This panel displays information about the frame’s environment, including whether various
LEDs are active (indicating that there are faults with protective hardware in the system, such
as fans and power supplies).
Setting The parameters in this panel group define the various communications systems the frame
Control can use for control.
Parameters
IP Settings
Settings on this screen determine how the frame is controlled using the Browser Control
interface (the interface described in this chapter). If you make a wrong choice on this
screen, you could lose connection with the frame.
Note: The controller module uses a VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) to create a
broadcast domain which all modules within the frame will use to communicate among
themselves (for control and data traffic). A VLAN has the same attributes as a physical
network, including subnet and ID properties. Selenio systems have default settings for
Control and Data Subnet and VLAN IDs for both primary and secondary controller cards
(parameters found in the 'Advanced IP Setting' area). Unless there is conflict with your own
network settings, all these parameters should NOT be changed. If changes are required,
please consult a Harris Customer Service representative. Failure to do so might result in
improper control and monitoring of Selenio systems.
The Data Ethernet settings described on this screen only affect frames where the controller
module has an optional video IP submodule.
Interface Settings
This panel displays the current status of each control interface, and has buttons to enable
and disable that interface. The interfaces available are:
• Front Panel—A hardware panel display on the front of your frame that, when
installed, provides an opportunity for local control and monitoring when an operator is
physically in front of the frame.
• FTP—The frame’s FTP interface, responsible for all file transfers.
• HTTP—The server that allows you to enter the IP address of the frame and control and
monitor the frame using a web browser.
Note: If you disable the HTTP server on this screen, your browser will immediately lose its
connection with the frame.
• SNMP—The agent responsible for implementing the SNMP interface that sends traps
and allows parametric control via SNMP protocol.
• Telnet—The frame’s telnet interface, responsible for accessing the frame via telnet
(mainly used for troubleshooting purposes).
• SSH—Used for internal communications. Should not be disabled, unless directed to do
so by Customer Service.
• CCSP—Interface responsible for implementing the CCSP interface, allowing clients
(such as webpage, CCS Navigator, NUCLEUS, etc.) to control and monitor the frame.
GPI
A Selenio frame has two GPI inputs and two GPI outputs.
• Function—Specifies the action for the specified GPI input, with options None*, Alarm
Close, Alarm Open, and Load Preset.
• Preset—Specifies the preset to load for the specified GPI input, with a range of 0* - 99
For each GPI output, you can define the Function. This specifies this GPI output's assigned
function, with options listed below.
• Closed
• Open (default)
• Backup (1-14; primary; secondary)—triggers when a device that is assigned to
redundancy takes over for another device, or when it gives up control of that other
device
• Minor Alarm
• Major Alarm
SNMP
The SNMP Agent settings are as follows:
• SNMP Dest Desc—Description of the host to which SNMP trap messages will be sent.
• SNMP IP Address—If non-zero, specifies the IP address of a host to which SNMP trap
messages will be sent.
Configuring If you have both a primary controller module and a secondary controller module, the
Redundancy secondary controller module automatically serves as backup to the primary module. You do
not need to configure anything for this to be so.
Modules A, B, and C designate D as the backup. Module D sets its backup to E, which
designates F. Consequently, modules A, B, and C have three potential backup modules: D,
E, and F. (For instructions on how to configure a module as a primary or backup module, see
Configuring Module Redundancy on page 44. Redundancy for processing modules
requires configuration of external equipment such as routers and supporting wiring. These
topics are described in Configuring the Router on page 46 and Using the Connections
Manager on page 52.)
All modules are eligible to carry service, regardless of their protection mode. A protection
module's service can be discarded if a failover selects that module to pick up a failed
primary module's service. The protection graph implicitly sets priorities for module selection
during failover. Modules with longer protection chains (e.g., module A, B and C above) have
a higher priority than those with shorter chains (modules D and E above). In Figure 2-9, the
services on modules A, B, and C have the highest priority, and these modules are not
designated as backups for failover duty. The service on module F has the lowest priority, so
F will be chosen first for backup duty.
The controller module tries to preserve higher priority services, potentially at the expense of
lower priority services. A backup module inherits the primary module's priority during a
failover. That backup module can be selected again for failover duty, if another module with
a higher priority needs protection.
A few examples illustrate the behavior (using Figure 2-9 with modules A through F).
Example 1:
• A fails; F serves as the backup, because F is the lowest priority backup available.
• D fails; E serves as the backup, because E is the lowest priority backup available.
• B fails; E drops D (because B is higher priority) and serves as B's backup.
• C fails; no backups are available (E and F carry B and A, which are the same priority as
C).
Example 2:
• D fails; F serves as the backup, because F is the lowest priority backup available.
• A fails; E serves as the backup, because E is the lowest priority backup available.
• B fails; F drops D (because B is higher priority than D) and serves as B's backup.
• C fails; no backups are available (E and F carry A and B, which are the same priority as
C).
Example 3:
• A fails; F serves as the backup (because F is the lowest priority backup available).
• B fails; E serves as the backup (because E is the lowest priority backup available).
• E fails; D serves as the backup. Because E is currently carrying B's service, the controller
module identifies all backup candidates for B, not E. Consequently, D is available for
backup duty, and the controller module moves B's service from E to D.
• C fails; no backups are available. D carries B, which has the same priority as C. E has
failed and is out of service. F carries A, which has the same priority as C.
In Figure 2-9, since E is protecting D, and F is protecting E (i.e. D protected by E protected
by F), the module in F will take over all operations in case of module D failure. This is due to
priority level, where the last available module in the chain takes over a module higher in the
chain. If module F subsequently fails, module E takes over the duties of module D. After
module F is serviced, you need to manually failback to F in order to indicate that the module
is now operational. Failure to do so will keep the module F marked as not available for
protection operations.
Protection Router
Many redundant systems use protection routers to help recover from system failures. For
example, if a system has two modules of same type (one primary and one backup), video
and audio routers might switch a set of input signals between the two modules. During
normal operation, the router sends the video and audio signals to the primary module, and
the backup module is idle. During a failover operation, the router redirects the video and
audio to the backup module, thus ensuring continued availability of the incoming feed.
Triggering Failover
The controller module monitors primary modules for change in status. When a primary
module ceases operating normally, this triggers a failover:
• The controller module copies the primary module's configuration to the selected
backup module. This includes all interfaces, functions, and general values for the
primary module's slot. As long as the backup module carries the failed primary
module's service, the controller module copies updated configuration values for the
primary slot to the backup.
• In addition to slot-based configuration, the controller module uses the connection table
to adjust data flows for the new slot assignments. The connection table is not changed,
but the existing behavior might need adjustment.
The reconfiguration described above does not persist across a system reset. If a failed
primary module remains out of service after a reset, the controller module invokes the
failover actions again. Once a backup module goes into action, it does its best to perform all
the duties and obligations of the primary module.
Except when going through a failback operation, the backup module retains its
configuration when its role changes. Moreover, any connection entries associated with the
module are rewritten to reference the backup slot explicitly, thus directing the backup
module to carry the services from the failed primary module. Of course, the primary and
backup modules can be reconfigured after taking them out of mutual protection mode.
Triggering Failback
Selenio uses manual failback. Unlike the initial failover, which transfers control
automatically, you must explicitly restore service to the main module.
When an operator issues a failback command (as in Triggering Failback on page 41), the
original service transfers from the backup module to the original primary module. The
controller module updates the protection status for the primary and backup modules, and
updates the data flows in the connection table, restoring the role of the primary module.
The primary module resumes ownership of the configuration and status values for its slot.
The controller module restores the original configuration values for the backup module.
Manual service restoration avoids a potential situation where a service repeatedly switches
between an intermittently defective primary module and its backup. Also, manual operation
lets you schedule the service restoration, which can cause a brief service interruption.
The top portion of the screen indicates whether a secondary controller module is present in
the frame, and which module is currently operational.
The Module Table section of the screen indicates the following information:
When you select a row in the Module Redundancy table, the parameters at the right of the
table update to indicate the status of the various parameters for that module. Parameters
are:
1 On the Redundancy > Module screen, select the module in the Module Table that
requires backup.
The parameters at the right of the table update to display information for the selected
module.
2 Click the Protect Mode parameter, and select the slot that you want to provide backup.
Options include Unprotected, as well as every other slot in the frame, whether it currently
has a module in it or not, and regardless of whether the module in that slot is currently the
same type. This is so you can configure protection before the module is in the frame.
Failover loads DejaView settings to the protecting module, so that it has the same
configuration as the module it is now serving as. (See Configuring Module Faults on
page 76.)
Note: If a module in Slot 2 is protecting another module in Slot 1, and a module in Slot 3 is
protecting module in Slot 2 (i.e. Slot 1 protected by Slot 2 protected by Slot 3), Slot 3 will
take over operations in case of failure of module in Slot 1. This is due to the priority level set
automatically by the system, where the last available module in the chain takes over for any
module higher in the chain. In case of failure of module in Slot 3, module in Slot 2 will take
over. After module in Slot 3 is serviced, you need to manually failback to Slot 3 to indicate
that the module is now operational. Failure to do so leaves the module in Slot 3 unavailable
for protection operations.
When you configure a slot that has failed, you are actually configuring the protection
module, rather than the failed module. In this way, switching functions should be seamless,
and those functions are returned to the primary module when it is returned to service.
Failback executes two operations: one that returns the functionality to the primary module,
and a second that returns whatever functionality the backup module may have been
performing to its original functions.
The controller can perform cross-point switches to a 16-level router (with each level having
up to 32 inputs and 32 outputs). You can configure the protection router to route the signal
in case of module failure.
Connecting to a Router
1 On the Selenio Controller’s Router panel, under Protection Router Settings, enter the IP
address of the router.
2 Enter the Telnet Login ID to the router you are connecting (usually the default value is
leitch).
3 Enter the password associated with the router Telnet Login ID (usually the default value is
leitchadmin).
4 Configure your router interfaces in Selenio to indicate what levels, input, and output are
valid on your system.
This configuration creates the routing interfaces that are available in the Connection
Manager and that are used to perform router protection.
2 Select Enable.
3 Beside Num Inputs, select the number of inputs for this level of the router.
4 Beside Num Outputs, select the number of outputs for this level of the router.
The other parameters are optional.
When you have finished configuring the Router Protection settings, the selected levels, and
the selected inputs and outputs on those levels, will appear on the Connections panel as
protection router interface options.
1 On the Redundancy Router pane, click the level you want to modify.
The parameter list to the right of the Protection Router table updates to display parameters
for that router level.
If you are concerned that another user may have changed the router output table since you
launched the service, click Populate to refresh the list. This downloads the current level
crosspoint status from the frame and populates the Output/Input (crosspoint) table. Set all
Inputs that are not part of your protection configuration to zero (0). The system will not
send cross-point commands down to the router when Inputs are set to zero (0), and
consequently will not affect other configurations that use these crosspoints.
Managing Using the Connections Manager within the Controller module, you can indicate all the
Connections transfer points, both external to the frame, and within and between the modules in the
frame. In this way, when removing a module from the frame and using the protection
function to replace the functionality of that module, the routings can be reproduced,
assuming the redundant, protecting module is configured to the same router.
When you need the redundant functionality out of the backup module, the Connections
Manager maps the functionality from one module to the other, by way of a crosspoint
switch.
The Connections Manager also allows you to route signals between different modules in
the frame, without having to run cabling along the frame’s internal bus. Some modules may
not use the frame’s internal bus.
Connections happen within the frame’s backplane and are subject to the same delay as the
outputs of the module. The connection system is limited to 1024 independent connections.
Connections are organized first by function, and then below that, by interface.
• Test Signal Generator—Provide test video feed and tone to other devices within the
frame.
• Protection router—Provides 7 x 2 backup routing for devices within the frame.
The test signal generator is always available in the Connections Manager. The protection
router must be configured before it appears in the Connections Manager. See Launching
the Router Interface on page 46 for more information.
Viewing Connections
The Connections viewer shows all defined connections within the frame.
• From the Dashboard, in the drop-down menu at the top right of the screen, to the left
of the Controller Status panel, select Connections.
• From the Configuration panel, select the Frame Controller, click Close to return to the
Frame Control Panel, and then click Connections. From the top of the Function
Browser, click Connection View.
The Connections Viewer is primarily for informational purposes. To filter and organize the
connections displayed, use the following tools:
• Column headers: Click a column header to sort the connections by the column
function. Connections are sorted within the Group. Columns have the following
information:
To remove a connection, first click a row (connection) within the Connection Viewer, and
then click Remove Selected Connection(s). You will be asked to confirm the deletion.
To change the service name for a connection or a group of connections, first select the
connection(s). Hold down the Control key while clicking to select multiple non-consecutive
connections, or hold the Shift key to select a range of connections. Click Edit Service
Name, and then enter new text. Before making the change, click OK to confirm.
Connections that are red in the Connections Viewer have a major fault. Connections that
are yellow have a minor fault.
To close the Connections Manager and return to the Control Panel, click Close.
You can filter the list using the Filter Options menu. Options are:
• All Interfaces
• Used Interfaces
• Unused Interfaces
Functions are divided into groups, depending on the functions that are defined within the
frame. All frames have a Test Signal Generator (TSG) and protection router, (see
Configuring the Router on page 46) because these functions are on the Selenio
Controller module. Other functions available are defined by the modules within the frame.
Some modules within the frame may have connection functions that are not, by default,
visible to the Connection manager. These functions may need to be activated by a
parameter before they become available to the Connection Manager. To activate a function
on a module, see the documentation for that module.
When you click an interface in the Functions browser, the right of the screen updates to
display the configuration for that interface.
You can sort the rows in the Connections tables by clicking on the column headers. The
column headers are described in Table 2-13.
Only interfaces that can be connected to the selected interface appear in the Function
Browser.
5 Enter a Connection Name and a Service Name for the connection, if you feel they will be
useful, and then click Connect.
The new connection appears in the Connection Viewer, and in the Interface Connection
Information table for that interface.
Removing a Connection
To remove a connection from the Connections Manager, follow these steps:
When working in the Connections interface, click Refresh to update the local database
with any changes that have been made by other users on other PCs connected to the
Selenio frame.
You can also remove connections from the Connections Viewer. See Viewing
Connections on page 49.
Changing a Password
The administrator user can change the password for any user on the system. Follow these
steps:
5 Enter the new password for the account in the Password field, and then enter the new
password again in the Confirm Password field.
Passwords are case-sensitive. The old password is not required to change the password.
If the password created for the administrator user account has been lost or forgotten,
contact Customer Service.
Upgrading You can use the Selenio control interface to upgrade the firmware on any module in the
Module frame, including the controller module. Upgrading module firmware is a two-stage process.
On most Selenio modules (except the FS1 and XD1) you can copy the firmware to the
Firmware device and then switch the device to that new firmware when you are ready. Switching the
device to use the new firmware involves taking the module offline.
Selenio modules other than the FS1 and XD1 have non-volatile memories. This makes it
possible for two versions of firmware to be loaded onto a non-FS/XD module, by
transferring the firmware out to module(s) during the day, and then cutting over during
scheduled outage or maintenance windows. When a new version of firmware is transferred
to the module, the previous inactive version is overwritten. To upgrade the software on an
FS1 or XD1, you must take the module completely offline.
During normal operation, the Selenio controller holds a version of code for each module
type. Upon the insertion of a new module into the frame, the controller loads its version of
firmware onto the new module. This is true even if the module has a newer version of code.
However, each slot in the Selenio frame can independently be put into Test mode. When a
new module is inserted into a slot that is in Test mode, the controller does not load its
version of firmware onto the new module. Instead, the module runs with its current
firmware. This is helpful when testing a new version of firmware.
Note: This does not affect any parameter settings on the module.
To view the firmware upgrade options, on the Configuration pane, select the Frame
Controller module, and then select the Configurations tab, and then click Upgrade
Firmware.
Click Firmware Overview (if it is not already selected) to view a list of all the modules in all
the slots of the frame, and the upgrade status of each module.
The Firmware Overview table at the top of the screen lists all modules for which the
firmware is managed by the Selenio Controller module. There is a row for each module
type. By default, all modules have Test mode off, so by default all modules appear in the
Firmware Overview table.
The Version and Alternate Version columns indicate various statuses of the firmware loaded
on the modules:
When you reboot the frame, modules in managed slots receive the most up-to-date
firmware automatically. If a module is removed from the frame, and another module of the
same type is inserted into the same slot, that module will be automatically updated to the
current firmware.
Below the Firmware Overview table, another table lists all modules in test slots. When a slot
is designated as a test slot, the controller module won’t force new firmware onto the
module.
1 To view the firmware upgrade options, on the Configuration pane, select the Frame
Controller module, and then click Upgrade Firmware.
2 Click Test Firmware.
The page contains a table with the following columns:
3 Click the button in the Test Mode column and choose Yes or No.
You can change the mode of a slot whether or not it contains a module.
Note: When you set a module to Managed mode (select Yes), it appears in the Firmware
Overview area (top part of the screen), and the firmware is changed according to the
following conditions:
• If there are other modules of the same type in the frame and a different version of the
firmware is in the controller module (indicated by the Version column for the module
type), the new module is upgraded or downgraded automatically.
• If there are no other modules of the same type in the frame, and there is no version of
the firmware for this module type in the controller module, the new module runs its
existing firmware, and the system indicates N/A in the Version and Alternate Version
columns.
Upgrading Firmware
For best results, first upgrade firmware in a test slot, before propagating firmware to all like
slots in a frame. In the Selenio frame control panel, follow these steps:
1 On the Upgrade Firmware screen, click Test Firmware, select a slot that contains the type
of module you would like to upgrade, and click Yes to set this slot to Test mode (See
Setting Test Mode for a Slot on page 59).
2 Click Transfer Firmware, select the new firmware package, select the module that is in
Test mode, and then click Transfer to load the new alternate firmware (see Transferring
Alternate Firmware on page 60).
3 Click Activate Firmware, select the module you set to test mode, and then click Activate.
(see Activating Alternate Firmware on page 61).
4 Test the module to ensure it performs as required.
When firmware is changed on a module, this can affect the presets, parameter settings, and
options.
5 Click Transfer Firmware, select the new firmware package, select the module(s) in
Managed mode, and then click Transfer to load the new alternate firmware (see
Transferring Alternate Firmware on page 60).
6 Click Activate Firmware, select the module(s) in Managed mode, and then click Activate.
(see Activating Alternate Firmware on page 61).
In the table displaying firmware versions, the Version column shows the version of the
transferred firmware, and the Alternate Version column displays N/A.
7 (Optional) Click Test Firmware, select a slot that contains the test module, and click No to
set this slot to Managed mode (See Setting Test Mode for a Slot on page 59).
1 Download the most recent appropriate upgrade package from our website or from your
product CD-ROM.
Upgrade packages come in the form of ZIP files. You do not need to extract the files; this is
done by the software as part of the upgrade process.
2 To view the firmware upgrade options, on the Configuration pane, select the Frame
Controller module, and then select the Configurations tab, and then click Upgrade
Firmware.
3 Beside Select Firmware Package, click Browse.
4 In the dialog box that opens, select the upgrade package.
Information about the selected package appears below the Package information header.
The Select Controller Managed Modules and Select Modules in Test Mode tables
refresh to display modules that the upgrade package applies to.
The information for the modules displays the current firmware in the Version column, and
the new alternate version in the Alternate Version column.
Modules will not start using the upgrade firmware until you follow the steps in Activating
Alternate Firmware on page 61.
1 To view the firmware upgrade options, on the Configuration pane, select the Frame
Controller module, and then select the Configurations tab, and then click Activate
Firmware.
2 Select the modules you want to switch to alternate firmware.
• To activate firmware on all controller-managed modules, place a check beside the row
below Select Controller-Managed Modules.
• To activate firmware to individual test modules, place a check beside each test module
under Select Modules in Test Mode.
3 Click Activate.
The modules are reset and return to functionality with the new firmware in the Version
column, and N/A in the Alternate Version column.
See your application module instructions for details about the failsafe mode.
Activating To obtain a license, contact Customer Service. You will need the module’s serial number and
License Keys any license keys that are currently on the device.
To activate a license key using the Selenio control interface, follow these steps:
4 Click on the row for the device you want to change licensing information on.
The right portion of the pane updates to display information specific to the selected
module.
If you have not acquired a license key, use Windows copy-and-paste tools to copy the text
from the Serial Number and Current Licence Key fields to provide it to Customer Service.
5 When you have acquired it, enter your device key in the Change License Key field.
Use copy-and-paste tools to copy the license key from the message sent to you by
Customer Service (if the license was provided that way), for greater accuracy.
6 Click Apply.
The Licensed Options table updates to display changes to the installed license options,
including tokens and specific license keys.
You are now ready to configure the options you have unlocked.
License data is stored on the individual module for which the key is assigned, not on the
Controller module, so when you transfer a module from frame to frame, its complete
feature set travels with it.
Using the On the Frame Control Panel, click Tree. A list of all parameters for the Selenio Controller
Parameter module opens.
Tree The IP Advanced settings are intended for internal VLAN configuration. These settings
customize how the frame and modules communicate. For most networking configurations,
they should not be changed.
There are two Ethernet connections on the frame. The frame communicates with other
devices, including the web browser, using Control Ethernet. If the Selenio controller module
is equipped with an optional video IP submodule, you also have Data Ethernet. The Data
Ethernet settings determine how Tx (transmission) and Rx (receiver) packets are handled
and deals with compressed video over IP. The numbers will be constantly increasing, and will
create a lot of network traffic.
For a complete list of tree view parameters, see the HTML file that accompanies this
manual.
When you change a control parameter, the effect is immediate. However, it may take up to
30 seconds to save the latest change. After 30 seconds, the new settings are saved and will
be restored if the module loses power and must be restarted.
1 The Module Input Fault fault indicates an interface fault occurred on a module in the frame. Interface faults are usually
generated by another fault condition in the module. For instance, the Loss of Video fault condition will generate an EXT SDI
In interface fault if this interface is defined. Check the Active Faults section of the Dashboard area when receiving an
Module Input Fault fault message.
2 When using an external reference to the frame, if the Input Reference Source Select field (General/Reference section) is set
to Auto, the controller module will automatically switch to the internal reference signal if it detects the absence of the external
reference. The Reference absent fault will not be issued if the fault trigger time is above the time that it takes to switch over
to the internal reference (usually within few seconds). Adjust the trigger time accordingly if a Reference absent fault is
needed.
3 The controller module will shut down any module if overheating occurs, and then issues a Module Shutdown fault message
to notify users about the problem. At this point, the power line reaching the module slot is disabled. Reseating the module
or inserting a new one in the same slot will not reactivate the slot. To restore power to the slot, reset the failed slot. To prevent
overheating during frame operation, keep the front panel closed and all back module slots covered.
The Configurations tab has specific parameters. See the documentation for a module to
view complete descriptions of that module’s unique controls. The View menu has three
ways to browse the parameters for a module:
• Block—Click on a square on the block diagram to view controls within that module.
See each device’s manual for information on the various controls.
• All—Displays the entire parameter list in a tree view. To view a modular group of
parameters, click an item.
• Favorites—Displays just the favorite parameters for the device. Only an administrator
user can designate favorites. An operator user can only control favorites. See Using
Favorites on page 70.
The Faults tab displays control settings for all faults on the module, input, or frame.
Depending on the type of module, controls and options may vary. See the documentation
for each module for complete descriptions.
The button for a list parameter shows the current selection for that parameter.
To adjust that parameter, click the list. The current parameter value is in the parameter bar.
Use the mouse or the arrow keys on the keyboard to select a different item in the list.
• Using the mouse, drag the slider to the left or right to decrease or increase the
parameter value.
• Click Up or Down in the spin control.
• Use the mouse or tab button to select the parameter, and then press the left and right
arrow keys on the keyboard to decrease or increase the parameter value.
As you adjust a numeric parameter, the value is immediately set on the product.
1 Use the mouse or tab button to select the parameter you want to modify.
2 To modify the string, do one of the following:
You can select multiple channels and apply the same settings to multiple inputs, outputs,
audio streams, etc. at a time, or copy multiple settings from one row to another within the
table.
Some parameters are easily divided into groups, where much duplication occurs. Table
parameters provide an interface to view a large number of settings in a single screen. When
a large number of parameters are duplicated over a series of inputs, outputs, or controls,
Selenio Control Panel displays those parameters as a table, so you can view the various
settings for various streams.
Drag here
The table parameter in Table 2-25 is for the Multiplexer, which is highlighted in the block
diagram.
The screen is divided into three panes when you use a table parameter. You can drag the
divider between these panes to view more or less of the table, parameters, etc.
The table portion of the screen, as shown in Figure 2-26, has a row for each item for which
the series of parameters applies.
Use the slider at the bottom of the screen to see the complete list of parameters. Due to the
table structure, you can see where parameters vary from the norm, for example due to an
error condition or different type of input, etc. The table is not editable.
To change a parameter, first select the row. The Parameter pane updates to display the
settings for that row (it defaults to display the parameters for the first row in the table). The
top right corner of the screen updates to indicate which row the parameters are for.
The individual parameter control types are the same as for regular parameters.
Using Favorites for a module are usually the most commonly used parameters. Only an
Favorites administrator user can select favorites. An operator user can only modify parameters that
are designated as favorites. All other parameters in the other views are view-only for
operator users.
When viewing parameters in the Block or All mode, each parameter has a small star in the
top right corner. This indicates the Favorites state for that parameter.
Selecting Favorites
Follow these steps to select or update the favorites list for a device:
Favorite parameters are stored on the controller module, and once saved, can be used by
any operator on the system.
Keep in mind that if administrators on different PCs are adjusting the favorites list for a
module, their changes will overwrite each other’s. You will not see updated favorites from
another PC until you refresh.
Viewing Favorites
When you select the Favorites tab, all parameters marked as favorites appear on the screen.
Using A preset is like a snapshot of a module’s parameters. You can create a preset from one
Presets module, and then load it onto another module of the same type. (For example, if you have
a frame full of XD1 modules that you want to configure with the same settings, you could
configure one, and then create a preset from that module. You could then load that preset
to each of the other identical modules, applying the same settings.) Presets are saved on the
Selenio controller module, and can be backed up to a computer, USB key, etc.
Presets can be read like any other XML document. You can e-mail presets and perform
other normal functions just like any other file.
• Device preset—Contains the parameters for the selected node. The device can be any
module within the frame, including the controller module.
• System preset—Contains parameters for all devices in the frame, including the
controller module and all regular slot modules.
• System Presets - includes all parameters on the controller module and all parameters
across all modules installed in the frame
• Module Presets - all parameters for an individual module or modules that are
combined together (eg: FS1 + AAEX)
The controller has 20 memory locations for system presets and 90 memory locations for
module presets. System presets may be recalled on another frame if the module types and
slot locations are identical.
Module presets may be recalled even though the configuration of the module may be
different for the saved presets. For matching parameters, the parameter will be recalled
from the preset. A preset from a different module cannot be recalled by a different module
(eg: Does not allow recalling an XD1 preset to FS1, and vice versa).
To view the presets available for any module in the frame, including the controller module,
select
• Module presets—When you select a device and then look at the presets available for
that device, all presets created for all versions of that device will appear. So if you had a
module in the frame and removed it, and then replaced it with another device of the
same type, then all presets created for both devices will appear as available for the
module.
• System Presets—Lists all system presets stored in the controller module.
• All Module Presets—Lists all frame and module presets stored on the controller
module, whether those presets are usable in the frame's current configuration or not.
This display mode is primarily intended for deleting unused, unneeded presets.
You can perform various functions, including the following:
6 Click OK.
Your preset is saved.
5 Click OK.
Your preset is saved.
To load a preset file to a module of the same type using the Selenio control interface, follow
these steps:
The Preset list only shows presets that are compatible with the selected device, so it is not
possible to load a preset to a device for which it does not apply.
If there are multiple of the same type of module in the frame, then presets created on all
like devices will appear in the list for each device. You may need to click Refresh to see the
preset on other applicable devices.
In this way, it is easy to copy settings between modules. You should be careful when
loading presets to ensure that the firmware is consistent with the firmware on each device.
If parameters are not available or have settings that are inconsistent with the firmware on a
device, those settings will be ignored, and the default setting will be chosen instead.
When resetting to factory defaults, you may need to wait a few seconds for changes on the
module to appear.
If there are multiple of the same type of module in the frame, then presets created on all
like devices will appear in the list for each device. in this way, it is easy to copy settings
between modules. You should be careful when loading presets to ensure that the firmware

settings that are inconsistent with the firmware on a device, those settings will be ignored,
and the default setting will be chosen instead.
Renaming a Preset
1 In the Selenio control application, select the Configuration tab.
2 Click on a preset in the bottom left quadrant of the screen.
Presets can be renamed in the Device Presets, System Presets, or All Presets lists.
Deleting a Preset
You can only delete one preset at a time.
Exporting a Preset
When you export a preset, you save it to the computer on which you are browsing to the
Selenio Control software (otherwise, all presets are stored on the controller module for the
Selenio frame, which is why you can see all presets created by all users for a device, and
why presets are easily shared between modules of the same type). To transfer a preset to a
different Selenio frame, you must first export it. Follow these steps:
4 Select a location for the preset to be stored in, and then click OK.
Presets are stored as XML files.
To import a preset using the Selenio control interface, follow these steps:
5 Browse to the location where your presets are stored, and then select a preset.
6 Click OK.
If there are multiple of the same type of module in the frame, then the preset will appear in
the list for each applicable device. You may need to click Refresh to see the preset on other
applicable devices.
4 Browse to the location where your presets are stored, and then select a preset.
5 Click OK.
If the preset is incompatible with the frame (has devices that are not in the frame, does not
have devices that are in the frame), then those portions of the preset will be ignored when
applied to the current frame.
Configuring On the home page for the Selenio frame, each module that has a fault condition appears
with a flashing border to indicate the severity of the fault.
Module
Faults You can configure the faults for a module (including the Controller module) by selecting
that module in the device tree, and then clicking the Faults tab on the control panel for that
module.
At the top of the panel, you can sort the faults list using the following check boxes:
• Sort all by active—Puts active faults at the top of the list. Active major faults are
highlighted in red. The row of a minor fault is highlighted in yellow.
• Show All—Displays all faults for the module in a continuous list.
When you select this option, you can filter the fault list by entering a keyword in the
Sort by Name field (which appears when Show All is selected. Click the page numbers
to the right of the check box to view other pages of faults.
You can also sort the faults by the column headers, as described in Table 2-20.
