Description Ember+ system controller that supports the Ember+ protocol. This enables routing operation from an Ember+ system controller. See "Configuring Ember+ Controller Integration." Device supporting the NS-BUS External Control, NS-BUS Router/Matrix, or NS-BUS Configuration protocol. The supported protocols vary depending on the device. NS-BUS External Control: For an NS-BUS device supporting this protocol, the matrix information managed by the System Controller layer in IP Live System Manager, and name information of the AV interface groups making up that matrix information can be acquired. IP Live System Manager crosspoints can be switched based on the acquired information. NS-BUS Router/Matrix: For an NS-BUS device supporting this protocol, crosspoint switching can be controlled from IP Live System Manager by supplying IP Live System Manager with the matrix information managed by the NS-BUS device. NS-BUS Configuration: Protocol for configuring an NS-BUS device. Devices that support the TSL UMD v5 protocol. Stream transmitting/receiving devices that support NMOS. Service for collectively managing information of NMOS devices connected to the system. A device that supports device registration using the Session Announcement Protocol (SAP).

About the NMOS Function
IP Live System Manager supports the NMOS proxy function. I/O devices managed under IP Live System Manager can be registered in NMOS Registration & Discovery System (RDS) as NMOS devices instead of regular devices by IP Live System Manager. Browsing RDS registration information allows you to acquire information, such as the multicast address of third-party stream transmitting devices (see "Configuring NMOS").
About the Source/Destination Control Function of NMOS-compatible Devices
IP Live System Manager supports the source/destination control function of NMOS devices. IP routing control is supported with third-party NMOS devices incorporated into the system (see "Configuring NMOS").

Creating External Routing System Setting Data
When registering an external routing system on the [External Routing System List] screen, you need to create data that links the IP Live System Manager interface group crosspoint matrix with the external routing system crosspoint matrix, and import it into IP Live System Manager. This data is creating using Excel.
Excel file data structure
The Excel file is composed by the following three worksheets.
1. Index level map 2. Router location list 3. Router location configuration The worksheet names are optional, but the worksheet order must be as shown above. Example configurations for each worksheet are given below.
Worksheet 1: Index level map
This worksheet is used to configure data that links the index within an IP Live System Manager interface group to the level in an external routing system.
98
Column A: Set the level name used for management within IP Live System Manager. The level names must be unique. Column B: Specify the AV interface group sort order from 0. Column C: Set the level of the port of the external routing system.
Worksheet 2: Router location list
This worksheet is used to configure external routing system crosspoint matrix (Router Location) data.
Column A: Set the location name used for management within IP Live System Manager. The location names must be unique. Column B: Set the first interface number of the external routing system source interface group. Column C: Set the first interface number of the external routing system destination interface group.
Note
The first interface numbers must be unique, because the interfaces are automatically linked in sequence from the start number specified on worksheet 2 to the interface groups specified on worksheet 3.
In this example, two interface groups are configured for both source and destination for Router Location
A on worksheet 3. If, for example, "2" was specified instead of "3" for Router Location B on worksheet 2,
then interface number "2" would be linked in two locations as shown below.
Router Location A Source Group CAMERA-01: 1 CAMERA-02: 2
Destination Group VTR-01: 1 VTR-02: 2
Router Location B Source Group CAMERA-01: 2 CAMERA-02: 3
Destination Group VTR-01: 2 VTR-02: 3
99
In this example, the values entered for Router Location B on worksheet 2 must be greater than or equal
to the value obtained by adding the number of interface groups for Router Location A specified on
worksheet 3 to the start numbers for Router Location A specified on worksheet 2. In this example, if a
value of "3" is specified for Router Location B, the interface numbers are configured correctly as shown
below.
Router Location A Source Group CAMERA-01: 1 CAMERA-02: 2
Destination Group VTR-01: 1 VTR-02: 2
Router Location B Source Group CAMERA-01: 3 CAMERA-02: 4
Destination Group VTR-01: 3 VTR-02: 4
Worksheet 3: Router location configuration
This worksheet is used to configure data that links the IP Live System Manager interface groups to the external routing system interface groups.
Row 1 in columns A/B and C/D Set the location names specified on worksheet 2. Rows 2+ in columns A and C Set the source interface group names of each location. Rows 2+ in columns B and D Set the destination interface group names of each location.
Tips · The source (destination) interface group names configured for Source Group (Destination Group)
must be unique. · The source interface groups and destination interface groups are configured on the [AV Interface
Group List] screen.

1. Select the data preset to verify, and click the [Verify] button. A confirmation message appears.
2. Click the [Yes] button.
Tips
· A data preset can be applied even if there are conflicting crosspoint settings. In this case, the crosspoint status will be that of the last applied crosspoint matrix snapshot.
· When [Destination Monitor] in a destination interface group is enabled, the crosspoint settings are not subject to conflict detection.
· If the same crosspoint matrix snapshot is set in a preset, the crosspoint settings are subject to conflict detection.
· If there are no conflicts in crosspoint settings, a message is displayed indicating that there were no conflicts.
144
· If there are crosspoint setting conflicts, up to five destination interface groups with conflicting settings will be displayed in the message window.
Conflict status
Xpt Matrix Snapshot A Source 2 Source 1
Destination 1
Xpt Matrix Snapshot B Source 2 Source 1
Destination 1 Conflict
Destination 2
Destination 2 Conflict
Destination 3 No conflict
The diagram above shows an example where the data preset includes crosspoint matrix snapshots A and B where both snapshots have destination interface groups 1 and 2, but only snapshot B has destination interface group 3. In this case, destination interface groups 1 and 2 are detected as conflicts, but destination interface group 3 has no conflicts and is not detected.
Solution
Conflicts can be resolved using the following method. 1. Delete the conflicting crosspoint matrix snapshots. 2. Create crosspoint matrix snapshots that do not include any crosspoints from conflicting destination interface groups. 3. Configure the created crosspoint matrix snapshots in the data preset.
Note When a crosspoint matrix snapshot is deleted, it is also deleted from a data preset.

Enabling Protect State Set/Release Function Sharing when the NS-BUS Device User and IP Live System Manager User are the Same User
This section describes how to enable the function to set/release the Protect state as the same user from either an NS-BUS device or IP Live System Manager by setting the same name for the user ([USER] set by the web UI of the MKS series) of the NS-BUS device and the user (Manager or Operator role) of IP Live System Manager.
277
When this function is disabled, the NS-BUS device user and the IP Live System Manager user are managed as different users, so the Protect state set/release operation is not shared, even if the user names are the same name. This setting can be enabled/disabled by users with Manager or Operator role, but this setting is not enabled for users with Administrator role. The NS-BUS device user and the IP Live System Manager user cannot share the Protect state set/release operation, even if the user names are the same name.

Applying the Same Multicast Address Value to a Device in a Redundancy Structure Automatically
IP Live System Manager can apply a multicast address automatically to a device that supports changing the multicast address. When IP Live System Manager has a redundancy configuration, the multicast addresses that can be set from IP Live System Manager for Primary and Secondary are different multicast address values (by default), but the same multicast address can also be set for Primary and Secondary using the following procedure.
284
1. Open the application.properties file in the "C:\Sony\LSM\config" folder, and change the default setting of false. lsm.network.multicast.configuration.service.allow-same-ip-address=false * When set to false (default), different multicast addresses are applied to devices for Primary/ Secondary. When set to true, the same multicast address is applied to devices for Primary/ Secondary.
Tip In a redundancy structure, the Primary and Secondary IP Live System Managers must have the same settings. 2. Restart the PWS-110NM1.
Setting the Indication Default for Duplicated Multicast Addresses
If devices with duplicated multicast addresses are detected, a warning mark is displayed on the left of names on the [I/O] tab. Move your mouse and hover over the warning mark to display the detection description in a tooltip. You can set whether or not to display the detection description in tooltips when the [I/O] tab is displayed or the contents of the list are updated. Use the following procedure to enable the indication.
1. Open the application.properties file in the "C:\Sony\LSM\config" folder, and change the default setting of false. lsm.web.device.show-firstly-duplicate-multicast-warning=false * When set to false (default), tooltips are not displayed. When set to true, tooltips are displayed.
