Demo B — Live On-Prem
This is a demonstration of the fastest and simplest way to get a live stream running at your location. Your transmitter (Pro 360-5G or Pro 460) will generate and send a video pattern via an ethernet connection to your transceiver (StreamHub server), which will receive the video and display it on a monitor over an SDI connection. As with all Haivision products, the stream benefits from award-winning SST and SRT technologies, which ensure maximum quality, reliability, and security.
Note
For this demo you will need a monitor capable of displaying an SDI signal.
Here's all you need to do:
- Connect LAN 2 on the StreamHub server to LAN 2 on the transmitter (both have RED dust caps) using the ethernet cable provided in your kit.
- Connect the StreamHub SDI 1 output (GREEN dust cap) to your display/monitor using the SDI cable provided in your kit.
- Connect the power cable to the StreamHub and press the power button to turn it on. Wait 3 minutes for the server to complete its startup sequence.
- The transmitter is shipped with a fully-charged battery , but you can also connect the power adapter provided.
- Press the transmitter's power button to turn it on. Wait about a minute for the unit to complete its startup sequence.
- Configure the destination profile to Local StreamHub:
- On the front panel tap .
- Tap and then tap .
- Tap until the Local StreamHub profile is displayed, and then tap . A green dot confirms the selection.
- Press the Go live button. The transmitter generates a dynamic pattern of coloured circles as a video stream and sends it to the StreamHub server, which relays the stream to your display/monitor.
And that's it! You've successfully streamed a live video from your location to a local monitor via an internal ethernet connection, entirely on premises!
Important
When you're finished, stop the live stream by doing the following:
- Press
- Press
- Press
Turn the transmitter off by applying a long press to the power button (see Returning the Eval Kit).
More to Explore
If you'd like to push this demo a little further, here is something you can try:
- Instead of using the coloured circle stream, you can connect a live SDI source ( GREEN dust cap) to the transmitter and change the source selection to test the workflow with real-life content.
Note
In this configuration, latency is optimal because of the use of an ethernet connection rather than a cellular bonded one.
