VUE runs on Rocky OS and Red Hat

VUE 2.5.2 can be installed on either Rocky 9.4 or RHEL 9.4. You may upgrade the existing VUE systems running earlier versions of VUE. VUE 2.5.2 is not compatible with CentOS.

Auto Failback in N:1 Redundancy Cluster

The Auto Failback feature enables the recovered Initial Active Server to automatically revert to the Initial Active Server from the Standby Server. This will free-up the Standby server as soon as possible making it available for the cluster again.

Auto Failback Delay parameter allows you to control the time period to wait before auto-failing back once the active server has been recovered. For more information, see Enable or disable Auto Failback and Manually add a redundancy cluster.

N:1 HA Server behavior after restart

This feature ensures that in an N:1 HA redundancy cluster, a recovered initially active server will assess its own health and the health of the current active standby server before resuming the active role. This enhancement allows the system to stay on a healthy standby server if needed, preventing unnecessary service interruptions. For more information, see High availability with redundancy.

Assuring Aux Core access to the ACCP Manager

This feature ensures that RxDs remain active during intermittent ACCP Manager communication interruptions. This enhancement assures that an Aux Core remains tolerant to loss of access to the ACCP Manager and its database of RxDs such that the inability to communicate with the ACCP Manager due to an network interruption will not cause the ACCP to put newly registering RxDs into an inactive state, requiring a reboot from the principal core.

Aux Core wait for PTP Synch before transitioning SCTE 55-1 channels to operational

The feature provides the option to treat SCTE 55-1 channel types as synchronous to allow some RxDs to work properly when configured with only SCTE 55-1 channels with no video channels configured) Although SCTE 55-1 channels are not synchronous, a limitation in some RxDs requires PTP synch before DEPI can be properly configured. This feature allows the operator to work around this RxD limitation.

Enhanced RTSP and RPC parameter configuration

The VUE Element Manager (EM) now clearly distinguishes VEDS configuration parameters for RTSP and RPC when configuring VEDS for session-based SDV/SVOD modes. For more information, see Set up Switched Digital Video for RPC and Set up Switched Digital Video for RTSP.

RxD Keepalive Timeout configuration

You can configure the maximum amount of time an RxD can be idle while waiting to receive any GCP messages using the RxD Keepalive Timeout parameter. This time period waits to receive the GCP message from the VUE Aux Core before declaring a GCP connection failure with the VUE Aux Core. For more information, see Configure ACCP core.

Validate entered TSR data

The VUE now validates Transport Stream Redundancy (TSR) configuration data entered by the user via the Element Manager or imported via JSON file so that invalid characters are not accepted causing undesired system behavior.
