GENERAL CONFIGURATION
1. GUI Environment
The GUI is the Device interface (Graphical User Interface) used to manage the VersAtivePro transcoder, DigiVuII and DigiVuII
Micro encoders. In this manual these encoders and transcoders will be referred to as Devices since the GUI is common to
all three products.
1.1 Chapter Contents
• “Port Opening - Switch and Firewall”
• “The GUI”
• “Application Terminology”
• “Descriptive Icons”
• “Context Sensitive Menus”
• ”Copy & Paste”
• “Conguring the Device - Quick Summary”
• “Launch the GUI and Log in”
CHAPTER 1: GUI ENVIRONMENT
1.2 Port Opening - Switch and Firewall
NOTE: Any Management Switch used between Devices and the Management Computer will
require the following ports to be opened both Inbound and Outbound.
Port Number Transport Protocol Description
80 TCP RTMP,
RTMPT,
HTTP
8080 TCP HTTP HTTP Communications
8111 TCP Communication
8112 UDP Communications
8113 UDP Messaging
8118 Communications
1935 TCP RTMP/E Adobe® Flash® (Previewing, Monitoring) Flash Media Server listens for
1935 UDP RTMFP Adobe Flash (Previewing, Monitoring) Flash Media Server listens for RTMFP
8443 TCP HTTPS HTTPS Communications
1.2.1 Notes on Opening Fire Wall Port 1935 for Monitoring
Some rewalls reject trafc that doesn’t use the HTTP protocol. This behavior can prevent communication over RTMP even
if port 1935 is open. Consult the documentation for the rewall to determine how to congure it to allow RTMP trafc. To use
RTMP and RTMFP, any switch or rewall between the server and clients must allow inbound and outbound trafc on port 1935.
If it is not possible to open port 1935 inbound and outbound then monitoring will not work. In this case it is best to disable
monitoring altogether within the GUI, see Figure 1-4.
The resource contains both the actual publish and the preview. When the preview can not connect the whole pipeline of the
stream will stop and retry and not publish. The events log will report “Cannot connect to RTMP server”. The resource will show
“Resource is retrying” at the events tab. Disabling ‘Preview’ will prevent events from being detected when the streams cannot
connect during monitoring.
File Upload (Licence, VersAtive Software) By default, Flash Player clients
make RTMP connections over port 1935 using TCP.
To communicate over the RTMP protocol, clients attempt to connect to ports
in the following order: 1935, 80 (RTMP), 80 (RTMPT).
RTMP/E requests on port 1935/TCP. Flash Player and AIR clients attempt
to connect over ports in the following order: 1935, 80 (RTMP), 80 (RTMPT).
requests on port 1935/UDP
VersAtive®Pro, DigiVu® II, DigiVu® II Micro – Operation Manual 1-1
CHAPTER 1: GUI ENVIRONMENT
The Preview function for each Resource is on by default, Figure 1-4, but may be disabled at each individual Resource by
unticking the Preview On box and then clicking Save.
1.3 Launch the GUI and Log in
1. Open the web browser of your choice, Figure 1-2.
2. Enter the IP address of the Management Port; factory default 192.168.0.23
3. Login with credentials, Figure 1-3, (case sensitive): User Name: vms
Password: VMS
4. The GUI will open as shown in Figure 1-4.

1.4 Conguring the Device - Quick Summary
These are the key steps required to set up the Device.
1.4.1 Covered in this Chapter:
• GUI Overview
• Open the GUI and log in.
1.4.2 Covered in General Conguration Chapter
• Managing Firmware
• Managing Users
• SNMP
1.4.3 Covered in Device Conguration Chapter
• Congure Ethernet Input & Output Streaming Ports
• Congure QAM Output Modulators
1.4.4 Covered in Encode, Transcode & Publish Chapters
• Create Resources
The resource may come from an analog or digital program on a Capture Card or an Ethernet IP
stream address (Devices may have multiple physical Ethernet ports on which Resources may be
present).
• Create SPTS Streams
Figure 1-3: GUI Login
1-2 VersAtive®Pro, DigiVu® II, DigiVu® II Micro – Operation Manual
The stream denes the resolution, bitrate, audio codec, and CBR/VBR for the stream. Multiple
streams may be added to the session. In the case of the SPTS Stream instance, there cannot be any
other streams added.
• Create Adaptive Sessions
A session is intended for MBR applications and denes the codec to be used for the series of output
streams. Multiple sessions may be added to any resource. SPST Stream is for IPTV applications.
• Create Publish Points
The publish denes the output protocol, SPTS, HLS etc, the output IP and interface. Multiple Publish
Points may be added to the stream.
• Start Encoding or Transcoding Streaming from the Resource icon.
1.4.5 Covered in Ethernet Multiplexer Chapter
• Create an Ethernet Multiplex.
If a number of programs will be aggregated into a single MPTS stream, rst create a MUX instance.
• Create TS Sources to the MUX.
• Create a program to the TS source.
1.4.6 Covered in QAM Multiplexer Chapter
• Create a QAM Multiplex to the Device icon.
If a number of programs will be aggregated into a single MPTS stream, rst create a MUX instance.
• Create TS Sources to the MUX.
• Create a program to the TS source.
CHAPTER 1: GUI ENVIRONMENT
1.5 The GUI
The GUI is based on a familiar Tree and Tabbed Pane design, Figure 1-4. The main parts are:
1. Tree View of Managed Elements.
2. Pane View of the Selected Element.
3. Tool Bar.
4. Path of Selected Element.
5. Context Sensitive Right Click Menu.
6. Tree View Search Tool.

Figure 1-4: The GUI
VersAtive®Pro, DigiVu® II, DigiVu® II Micro – Operation Manual 1-3
CHAPTER 1: GUI ENVIRONMENT
Managed Elements are displayed in their relationships to each other in the Tree View, see Figure 1-4(1), and details pertaining
to the elements are displayed in the Pane View (2) when the element is selected. Further details about the selected element
and conguration dialogs are accessed within the Pane View with Navigation Tabs.
1.6 Application Terminology
A review of the application terminology used in the GUI and for the encoding & transcoding applications:
1. Resource
The external video and/or audio source content attached to the Capture Card or IP Port.
2. SPTS Stream
The SPTS Stream denes the resolution, bitrate (constant or variable), and audio codec of the
session for IPTV applications.
3. Adaptive Session
An Adaptive Session denes the parameters to be used for encoding & transcoding multi-bitrate
Streams.
4. Publish
The Publish denes the output protocol; SPTS, HLS, Flash; the output URL and Physical Interface.
1.7 Descriptive Icons
The icons used in the Tree View are designed to be as descriptive as possible to identify each element’s function but each
element may also be named by the user with a exible descriptor.
1.7.1 General
An icon of a Globe representing the Device Hardware Platform.

CHAPTER 1: GUI ENVIRONMENT
3. Stop All
May be used to stop all resources simultaneously. (Resources may also be stopped individually from
the resource itself).
4. Paste
A powerful feature used along with the Copy feature to quickly replicate Resources.
5. Disable
Disables the Device Platform.
6. Upgrade Version
Device rmware may be upgraded from here.
1.8.2 Resource Menu & Tool Bar
Resource operations are available on both the Right Click menu and the Tool Bar, Figure 1-6.

2. Preview
Displays a 5 frames/sec video window for verication of the resource presence and quality.
3. Delete
Deletes the selected Resource
4. Copy

8. New SPTS Stream
Used to create SPTS streams for IPTV applications.
1.9 Copy & Paste
This section shows a few examples of copying and pasting to replicate Streams, Sessions and Publish Points in the Tree View.
Once a Resource and it’s related Sessions, Streams and Publishes are dened, the Sessions, Streams and Publishes may be
replicated any number of times in any location in the Tree View. All pasted objects represent exact images of the copied source
and will require some editing to avoid duplication within the Device. The process is the same for all Copy & Paste operations
whether Sessions, Streams or Publish Points are being copied.
Figure 1-6: Resource Right Click Menu & Tool Bar
1-6 VersAtive®Pro, DigiVu® II, DigiVu® II Micro – Operation Manual
NOTE It is not possible to rename a Resource once it is created so it is not highly recommended
to use this feature to replicate Resources. The Copy & Paste feature was intended to replicate
Streams, Sessions and Publish Points only. Copying a Resource will result in the Resource Name
being appended with a sequential number to ensure it is unique.
1.9.1 Copy & Paste Sessions
1. Create the Donor Resource with a Session and Publish Points that it is desired to replicate, Figure 1-7.
2. Create a Recipient Resource or multiple Resources that will have Sessions copied to them.
