Setting up input prepare actions in the schedule
Follow this procedure to add input prepare actions to the channel schedule, in order to prepare any input ahead of the switch action to that input.
To include input prepare actions in a channel schedule
-
As a one-time action, enable the input prepare feature in the channel. You must enable the feature while the channel is idle. See Enabling and disabling the input prepare feature.
-
Plan the input switches and input prepares for the channel. See Planning the start type for an input prepare.
-
If the associated input switch includes input clipping, see Input clipping.
If the associated input switch is an input failover pair, see Dynamic inputs.
-
Create the actions in the schedule. Typically, you create some prepare actions and switch actions before you start the channel for the first time. Then you add more actions over time. You add fixed switch actions, and follow switch actions. You add prepare actions as soon as you know that you will have an immediate switch some time in the future. Typically, you add all these actions while the channel is running, but you can also add them when the channel is idle.
