GENERAL CONFIGURATION

1. GUI Environment

The GUI is the Management Interface (Graphical User Interface) used to manage the VersAtive®Pro transcoder which will be

referred to as Device.

1.1 Chapter Contents

• “Switch and Firewall Port Opening”

• “Preview”

• “Launch the GUI and Log in”

• “Conguring the Device - Quick Summary”

• “The GUI”

• “Application Terminology”

• “Device Menu & Tool Bar”

• “Resource Menu & Tool Bar”

• ”Copy & Paste”

CHAPTER 1: GUI ENVIRONMENT

1.2 Switch and Firewall Port Opening

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 trafc 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 congure it to allow RTMP trafc. To use
RTMP and RTMFP, any switch or rewall between the server and clients must allow inbound and outbound trafc 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 6-5.

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. Clients attempt to connect over ports
in the following order: 1935, 80 (RTMP), 80 (RTMPT).

requests on port 1935/UDP

CHAPTER 1: GUI ENVIRONMENT

The resource will be an Ethernet IP stream address to which the Device subscribes (Devices may
have multiple physical Ethernet ports on which Resources may be present).

The Stream denes the resolution, bitrate, audio codec, and CBR/VBR for the stream. Multiple
streams may be added to the Resource.

The Publish denes the output protocol, the output IP address and interface. Multiple Publish Points
may be added to the stream.

play. Includes audio and video.

6. Preview
A powerful feature used to open a low resolution thumbnail picture for viewing the incoming stream.

Each resource may be enabled for preview individually during setup. For more information on this

feature see “6.3 Preview or Monitor Resources” on page 6-3.

7. Copy(Paste)
A feature used along with the Paste feature under the Device to quickly replicate Resources. Will

copy all streams created on the selected resource. Renames the copy of everything with unique
names which may require editing for better clarity.

8. Disable
Disables the resource. Once disabled, the menu item changes to Enable. This feature is useful

when you will be creating a copied resource with the same conguration. The user can disable and
enable resources to avoid conicted output congurations since VMS will not allow two resources
with conicts.

1.10 Copy & Paste

This section shows a few examples of copying and pasting to replicate Resources, Streams and Publish Points in the Tree
View. Once a Resource and it’s related Streams and Publishes are dened, the Streams and Publishes or the entire Resource
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 Streams or Publish Points are being copied.

1.10.1 Copy & Paste Streams

1. Select the Donor Resource with an SPTS Stream and Publish Points that it is desired to replicate, Figure 1-6.

3. Choose the Ethernet port that the stream appears on from the Interface choices, eth0, thru eth5. (Depending on the
model ordered, may be more or less ports), Figure 4-3. There may also be virtual sources (VLAN) if any were created.

4. Enter the IP address, Port and choose the Protocol of the IP stream to be ingested.

5. Tick the Multicast box if this is a multicast stream with an address in the multicast range.

6. If the Stream is a Source Specic Multicast (SSM), enter the SSM IP Address.

7. If the stream is actually not present but you know it will be later, enter the Program Name, Program Number, select
Start On Signal then click Save Ofine to save the settings (The stream will start when the signal is detected).

8. Click Analyze (only for streams that exist currently on a physical or virtual input; not required for Save Ofine).

Figure 4-2: Add New Ethernet Resource

Figure 4-3: Fill Resource Form

NOTE: The Save Ofine feature makes is possible to set up streams that are not yet present on
the input ports but you know they will be eventually. This allows the user to make resources for an

upcoming system that hasn’t been established yet. Without the ofine resource feature you can’t
add any Ethernet resource if the VersAtivePro can’t nd any program or service on a given IP.

NOTE: The Start on Signal check box is used when the resources are not currently available. If
and when the external IPTV network is built, the preprogrammed resources will start as soon the
signal is found.

12. When nished with the selection, click Add to add this program and create the Resource.

Figure 4-4: Arrow Controls Move Program to Resource

13. The Program is added to the Resource, Figure 4-5, and shown in the Tree View under the Device with the included
SPTS Incoming stream PIDs detailed in the adjacent Pane View. This is automatically saved.

14. The ‘Preview ON’ tick box is selected by default. Untick the box to disable Preview for this resource only and click
Save if a change was made.

NOTE: The Preview function requires a small amount of Device CPU cycles. If the Device is
running close to 100% CPU utilization as witnessed by the Device Monitoring page, see “6.2

Monitoring the Device” on page 6-1, disabling preview can help with that condition. Each

Resource Preview function must be disabled individually so click each active resource in the Tree

Normalization does not affect the original audio signals that are fed into the encoder such as
the level or the dynamics of the program. The receiver/decoder reads the dialnorm value in the
metadata and adjusts the level of audio programs so that the dialog is at a consistent and uniform

6.3 Preview or Monitor Resources

The Preview monitoring function for each Resource is enabled by default, Figure 6-5, but may be disabled at each individual
Resource by unticking the Preview On box with the Settings and Info tab selected, and then clicking Save.

Previewing resources uses some of the platform CPU cycles although usually an insignicant amount. It is however possible
that the Device functions are running low on CPU cycles witnessed by high CPU load, see “Monitoring the Device” on page

6-1, and it may be judged that Preview functionality can be sacriced in order to maximize transcoding power. In this case a

user may disable Preview to lower CPU load.

CHAPTER 6: MONITORING

Figure 6-5: Preview Enabled

6.3.1 Video Preview

Any single Resource may be Previewed to determine the content or quality of the ingested video before the content transcoding
is started. Video is displayed at 5 frames/sec. Preview of audio is not supported.

Adobe Flash is required for the preview function and some browsers or optional settings within browsers may require that you
specically allow Flash Player to run due to security concerns. In Figure 6-6 we show an example of what you may see when
Preview is selected but your browser may be slightly different. The preview window may be grayed or blacked out requiring
you to click to activate Flash.
