Source Profiles

A profile is a collection of settings that can be applied to an NDI source. The profile determines how SourceMaster handles the source, and what faults it will flag.

A source can only have one profile applied to it at a time, but you can create as many profiles as needed, and easily switch sources between.

Faults

SourceMaster monitors several aspects of your NDI infrastructure, and any undexpected behaviour is logged as a "Fault".

Faults are stored in a SQLite database, with the following information for each fault:

  • Entity: the entity that the fault is related to, e.g. an NDI source or a RouteMaster system.
  • Severity: the severity of the fault, which can be "Info", "Warning", "Error" or "Fatal".
  • Description: a short description of the fault, e.g. "Source is missing" or "RouteMaster system is not responding".
  • Message: an optional message giving further information.
  • Timestamp: the date and time when the fault was raised.

Once a fault is cleared, it is moved from 'Active Faults' to the 'Cleared Faults' list, with a note of the time it was cleared.
