Streaming Output Settings

Select the Audio Encoder to assign to the stream.

• None (no content source selected)
• Audio Encoder 0. . 3
• Audio Encoder 4. . 7 (SDI only)

To configure multi-track audio, click Add next to the Audio field and select the next Audio Encoder to add to the stream.

(Only available if KLV or CoT has been installed) To enable metadata, select one of the defined inputs.

• (None)
• Select from list of defined metadata sources, e.g., Serial:CoT or Serial:KLV (if connected), HD-SDI-BNC-1, or HD-SDI-BNC-2

To stream metadata from multiple sources, click Add next to the Metadata field and select the next metadata source to add to the stream.

For more information, see Configuring Metadata Capture.

Data Carriage

PCR PID

(Optional) (Program Clock Reference) Packet Identifier. Timestamp in the TS from which the decoder timing is derived. 16..8190

Note

When creating CBR or CVBR streams, the PCR PID must have a unique value (i.e. the value must be different than those for Video PID, Audio PID, Metadata PID, and PMT PID). For more information, see Traffic Shaping.  TBD

(Optional) Program Identifier used in the Program Map Table (PMT) of the TS stream. 0..65535

Enter the destination IP address in dotted-decimal format.

Note

The Multicast address range is from 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255. Multicast addresses from 224.0.0.0 to 224.0.0.255 are reserved for multicast maintenance protocols and should not be used by streaming sessions. We recommend that you use a multicast address from the Organization-Local scope (239.192.0.0/14).

(If RTMP protocol is selected as the stream type) Enter a Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) for the application endpoint.

Note

For more information, see CDN Interoperability (RTMP).

Enter the destination UDP port(s). Enter a number in the range 1025..65,535. Note that RTP streams use even numbers only within this range.

Note

Direct-RTP streams require different UDP ports for video and audio. You must specify the second port number.

(Optional) Enable Forward Error Correction (FEC). Select either:

• (None)
• VF (TS over UDP only)
• Pro-MPEG FEC (TS over RTP only)

Note

VF FEC is a proprietary FEC and is not interoperable with devices outside of the Haivision family

TTL

(Time-to Live for stream packets) Specifies the number of router hops that IP packets from this stream are allowed to traverse before being discarded.
Range = 1..255

ToS

(Type of Service) Specifies the desired quality of service (QoS). This value will be assigned to the Type of Service field of the IP Header for the outgoing streams.
Range = 0..255 (decimal) or 0x00..0xFF (hex)

Important

A DiffServ or DSCP (Differentiated Services Code Point) value must be converted to a ToS precedence value. For example, AF41 or DSCP 34 becomes ToS 136. For more information, see RFC2474.

Note

The ToS setting must be chosen so as to not interfere with Voice over IP systems and other equipment that may reside on your network. For example, when the ToS value for a stream is set to 0xB8, it can interfere with some third party Voice / IP Telephony systems.

Specifies the type of FEC matrix scheme.

• Check this checkbox to align the FEC blocks in the matrix structure (i.e., sequential columns within a group start on the same row).
• If left unchecked, the blocks are a staggered series of FEC packets (i.e., each column starts on the row below the row on which the previous column started).

Note

The enabled Block Aligned setting corresponds to the aligned FEC discussed in Annex C of SMPTE 2022-1.

The disabled Block Aligned setting corresponds to the non-aligned FEC discussed in Annex B of SMPTE 2022-1.

Check this checkbox to enable Traffic Shaping for the stream. Enable Traffic Shaping to generate a capped Constant Bitrate (CBR) or Constrained Variable Bitrate (CVBR) stream. The cap, in this case, is equivalent to the stream's Average Bandwidth (measured in kbps). 

Note

For some limited networks such as satellites or some dedicated network pipes, it may be necessary to enable Traffic Shaping to smooth the traffic and respect the absolute upper limit configured.

(Traffic Shaping must be enabled) Specifies the percentage of network bandwidth beyond the average rate that the encoder is allowed to use if needed.

Range = 5..100%

Note

To configure the Bandwidth Overhead for CBR streams with metadata, see Bandwidth Overhead for CBR Streams with Metadata.

Click Select to select an image from the pre-defined list. See Configuring Still Image Streaming.

Enter the SAP advertising UDP port. Default=9875.

(RTMP only) Enter a publish name for the stream (511 characters maximum).

A stream publishing name is required for RTMP streaming. If you do not enter a publish name, the stream name will be used instead.

Note

Note that stream names must be unique, while the publish name can be reused if desired across multiple RTMP streams. See CDN Interoperability (RTMP).
