Version History

Using Gateway is faster and easier than ever with the latest version of Haivision's award-winning user experience.

• Similar to other Haivision products, inputs and outputs (previously called sources and destinations) are now distinct from the route configuration. This allows them to be defined once, then easily applied to multiple routes.

• Create and edit routes intuitively with our new drag-and-drop visual route builder.

• Full mobile support: Access Gateway on the go! Get work done from anywhere with Gateway's mobile and tablet friendly user experience.

Note

After upgrading to version 4.2, you may not immediately see the new UI. Refresh your browser for the new UI to load.

• Touring the Interface

• Various other pages throughout.

HMG/HSG can now be deployed on Microsoft Hyper‑V environments.

• Hyper-V Quick Start Guide

Streaming routes now include thumbnails, providing you a quick preview of your streams.

Note

Enabling thumbnail previews may impact system performance if you have a lot of running routes.

Monitor your system at a glance with the all-new system Dashboard. This dashboard collects all the important system metrics in a single place for easy access.

• Dashboard Screen

When Diagnostic Logging is enabled, the logs can now be cleared at any time to free up disk space.

• Enabling Diagnostic Logging

As most functions are not supported in the cloud, access to the Console UI is now disabled in the Gateway Cloud instances.

• Resetting haiadmin Password on Cloud Instances

When launching Gateway in AWS, you no longer need to reboot the instance and web login is possible as soon as the web interface is available.

• Signing in to Your Gateway

Created a procedure for adding a second network interface for VMware and Proxmox virtual environments.

• Proxmox: Adding a Second NIC

• VMware: Adding a Second NIC

(SRT Gateway only) Initial support for pairing with Hub 360, including the ability to remotely apply an SRT Gateway license, update SRT Gateway firmware, and securely access the SRT Gateway interface via SSH tunneling.

Note

For more information on using these features in Hub 360, see the Hub 360 documentation.

(Media Gateway only) Due to the upgrade to the HMG/HSG operating system, the hash function used for pairing with HMP has changed from SHA-1 to SHA-512. Therefore, ensure the major versions of both your HMP and Gateways are the same. For instance, if your HMP is at version 4.0+, your Media Gateways must also be at version 4.0+.

• Pairing the Gateways with Media Platform

Due to the upgrade to the HMG/HSG operating system, changed implementation for U.S. Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) Publication 140-2 and high-security (STIG) environments. (The STIG enable button was removed.) Please contact your Haivision Support representative to enable FIPS and STIG in your installation.

• Security

Due to the upgrade to the HMG/HSG operating system, MongoDB 5.0+ requires CPU support for AVX and AVX2 instructions. Therefore, ensure your virtual machine's CPU supports those instructions. For example, the following is sample output after issuing the lscpu | grep avx command that confirms support:

• Installing the Virtual Appliance

• Known Issues and Solutions

Due to the upgrade to the HMG/HSG OS and OpenSSL 3, any PKCS#12-formatted certificates generated with an older OpenSSL version must be converted before they can be added to HMG/HSG 4.0+.

• Importing and Activating a Certificate

• Convert Unsupported Certificates to Use in HMG/HSG 4.0+
