13.15 Assigning an Engine to a Channel with Redundancy (v.4.x)
You must unlock the Just Control Configuration window and stop the channel(s) to be able to make any changes.
Assigning an Engine to a Channel using 2N Redundancy
It is possible to assign an engine as the redundant engine using the 2N setup. In such environments, each Channel has a Primary engine and a dedicated Redundant engine assigned to it, where both engines are playing the same content at the same time.
Go to the Advanced tab.
Activate the Redundancy checkbox.
Select Full (2N).
Go to the Layers & Engines tab.
On the right side there's a column called Redundant just:out Engine.
Click on Select Engine… under the Redundant just:out Engine tab and choose the Engine you would like to assign to this layer.
Repeat this for each Layer which has no engine assigned.
Because you selected Full (2N) as redundancy type, you can assign the same Just Out only once to a Channel.
Assigning an Engine to a Channel using N+1 Redundancy
It is possible to assign the same Engine to several Channels as the Redundant Engine using the N+1 setup. In such environments, several Channels are sharing the same Redundant Engine (which helps to save costs). This implies that only one Primary Engine can fail at a time.
Go to the Advanced tab.
Activate the Redundancy checkbox.
Select Flexible (N+1).
Go to the Layers & Engines tab.
On the right side there's a column called Redundant just:out Engine.
Click on Select Engine… under the Redundant just:out Engine tab and choose the Engine you would like to assign to this layer.
Repeat this for each layer which has no Engine assigned.
Because you selected N+1 as redundancy type, you can assign the same Just Out to several Channels (using N+1 redundancy) as the redundant Engine.
