VIDEO PROCESSING CHAIN
Functional Specifications Picolo.net Handbook
The video processing chain is composed of the following elements:
n One video front end including 2 video interfaces, 1 video source multiplexer, 1 video de-
interlacer,
n Two video scalers,
n Three video encoders.
Video front end
The video multiplexer selects the SDI source or the HDMI source. The SDI interface implements a
3G-SDI receiver capable of automatically identifying and decoding HD-SDI and 3G-SDI
audio/video signals up to 1080p60. The HDMI interface implements a single-link HDMI 1.4
receiver capable of automatically identifying and decoding audio/video signals up to 1080p30.
The de-interlacer converts interlaced-scan video streams to progressive-scan video streams
keeping the native resolution and the native frame rate of the video
The progressive scan video stream is fed to the three encoders and to the two scalers.
53
Picolo.net Handbook Functional Specifications
Video scalers
The two video scalers scale down (or up) the full resolution progressive scan video stream:
The video scaler #1 delivers a video data stream having a resolution up to 1280 pixels wide
(720p).
The video scaler #2 deliver a video data stream having a resolution up to 640 pixels wide (480p).
The video scalers are exposed to the user as additional encoders that have access to a
restricted set of resolutions.
Video encoders
There are three video encoders: one AVC (H.264), one HEVC (H.265) and one MJPEG encoder.
Multiple video encoders can be instantiated, processing either unscaled video streams, or one of
the video scalers output.
Free mixing of AVC (H.264) and HEVC (H.265) encoding is allowed as long as the total amount of
data to encode does not exceed 160 Mega-pixels per second.
Note: Version 1.0 of the firmware does not allow using the HEVC (H.265) and the MJPEG
encoders with the scaled video streams.

FRAME RATE CONTROL
The EncodingInterval and FrameRateLimit properties of the
VideoEncoderConfiguration object determine the frame rate of the encoded video stream.
FrameRateLimit is an integer value expressed in frames per second [fps] specifying the upper
limit of the frame rate of the encoded video stream.
By default, FrameRateLimit is set to the actual frame rate of the video source. It can be set to
any integer value up to the frame rate of the video source.
58
Functional Specifications Picolo.net Handbook
For video sources having a non-integer frame rate value, the default and maximum value of
FrameRateLimit is rounded up to the next integer value. For instance for 29.97 fps sources,
FrameRateLimit is set to 30.
Setting FrameRateLimit to 0 is equivalent to setting FrameRateLimit to its maximum value.
EncodingInterval specifies the interval between encoded frames. A value of 1 means that all
frames are encoded; a value of 2 means that 1 frame out of 2 are effectively encoded.
By default, the EncodingInterval property is set to 1. It can be set to any integer value in the
range [1, 150].
The frame rate of the encoded stream can be evaluated using the following formula:
Encoded Stream Frame Rate [fps] = FrameRateLimit / EncodingInterval
RATE CONTROL - BIT RATE
The target bit rate is specified in kbps by the BitRateLimit property of the
VideoEncoderConfiguration object.
By default, the BitRateLimit property is set to 4,000 kbps. It can be set to any integer value up
to 20,000 kbps.
Setting too low bit rates may result in lower fidelity, blocky or jerky video.
The AVC (H.264) encoder supports the following bit rate control methods:
n CBR (Constant Bit Rate)
n VBR (Variable Bit Rate)
The encoding quality is specified by the BitrateLimit property of the
VideoEncoderConfiguration object.
GOP SIZE
The property GovLength specifies the total number of frames in a Group Of video Pictures
(GOP). Possible values range from 1 to 300; the default setting is 100.
In the H.264 Baseline profile, a GOP is composed of one I(or IDR)-frame followed by
(Govlength-1) P frames.
In the H.264 Main and High profiles, a GOP is composed of one I(or IDR)-frame followed by
(Govlength-1) P or B frames.
Setting GovLength to 1 forces all pictures to be coded as I(or IDR)-frames.

The audio processing chain is composed of the following elements:
n One audio input front-end including one analog two digital embedded audio sources and oe
audio multiplexer
n One sample rate converter
n Three encoders
n One set of audio outputs
Audio inputs front-end
The audio multiplexer selects a digital audio stream from one of the following three audio
sources:
n Analog audio source
n SDI audio source
n HDMI audio source
The analog audio interface digitizes the analog audio stereo signal at 48 kHz.
The HDMI and SDI interfaces extract up to two audio channels of the embedded audio/video
signal. The sampling rate for such audio signal is determined by the HDMI/HD-SDI source.
Sampling rate converter
The sample rate converter adapts the sample rate of the audio stream to the desired rate.
Note: The sample rate is defined once for all the encoded audio streams and the audio
outputs. If e.g. we want to use G.711 encoder (8kHz), simultaneous output as linear PCM or
AAC is only possible at 8kHz!
61
Picolo.net Handbook Functional Specifications
Audio encoders
There are 3 audio encoders: one G.7xx encoder, one AAC encoder and one Linear PCM encoder.
Up to 3 encoders can be used providing that they are requiring the same sampling rate. This is
tested and enforced by the web service layer, that will not allow simultaneous use of two
encoders requiring conflicting sampling rates.
WARNING: important side-effect: producing G.711 out of de-embedded audio might thus be
available only when embedded audio is sampled by the source at 8kHz.
Audio outputs set
The audio stream can feed:
n Two digital audio channels of the HDMI Output
n Left and Right channels of the analog audio output through a stereo DAC converter.

Streaming Specifications
MEDIA TRANSPORT PROTOCOLS
MEDIA TRANSPORT PROTOCOL
Picolo.net products use the Real-Time Transport Protocol - RTP - standard for streaming media
data over the network.
In fact, the standard - RFC 3550 - describes two protocols:
n The RTP protocol itself.
n The Real-time Transport Control Protocol - RTCP.
The RTP protocol is a simple protocol which defines a standardized packet format for delivering
audio and video over IP networks.
The RTCP protocol provides statistics and control information over the RTP stream.
RTP is used extensively in communication and entertainment systems that involve streaming
media.
RTP comes in various flavors, depending on the following choices:
n The transport modality of the RTP stream over the network.
n The type of media transported by the RTP stream.
MEDIA TRANSPORT CONTROL PROTOCOL
Picolo.net products use the Real-time Streaming Protocol - RTSP - as the control protocol for all
the flavors of RTP streams.
RSTP is described by RFC 2326. It allows controlling another protocol (usually RTP),
implementing commands such as Play (start a stream), Pause (pause a stream) and Describe
(describe the streams controlled by the current RTSP session).
RTSP uses TCP as its transport protocol.
MEDIA TRANSPORT SECURITY PROTOCOL
1669 Picolo.net HD1 uses the Transport Layer Security - TLS - to encrypt, when required, the
media stream.
The TLS Protocol encrypts an HTTP stream using various cryptographic algorithms. As such,
only the "RTP interleaved in RTSP over HTTP" transport modality is applicable for media stream
encryption purposes.
64
Functional Specifications Picolo.net Handbook
RTP TRANSPORT MODALITIES
The following modalities are available to transport the RTP stream over an IP network:
RTP OVER UDP UNICAST
In this modality, the RTP stream is sent using the User Datagram Protocol - UDP - described in
RFC 768.
The UDP protocol is a "fire and forget" protocol. The sender sends the data through the network
and doesn't care whether that data arrives to the client or not. The data is never resent, and
thus can be lost if a problem happens during the transport.
In the Unicast mode, the sender sends the data to a single receiver.
RTP OVER UDP MULTICAST
This modality is almost identical to the "RTP over UDP Unicast" case. The only difference is that
the data is sent to multiple receivers instead of a single one using UDP multicasting.
UDP multicasting uses the "IP multicast" technique described in RFC 1112.
In this technique, the sender sends the data to a special multicast address. The data is then
sent by the routing protocols to receivers that previously informed the network that they are
interested in the given multicast address. IP multicast is thus a subscription-based technique.
RTP INTERLEAVED IN RTSP OVER HTTP
This modality is almost identical to the "RTP interleaved in RTSP over TCP" modality. The only
difference is that instead of being directly sent on the TCP stream, the RTP and RTSP packets
are first encapsulated in HTTP.
HTTP being a widely used protocol over the internet, encapsulating the data inside HTTP allows
it to pass through firewalls.
Moreover, encapsulating the data inside HTTP allows taking advantage of the TLS Protocol to
secure the media stream.
Since HTTP is based on TCP, this modality can also be categorized as reliable.
RTP TRANSPORT MEDIA TYPES
RTP can transport different media types, each coming with a corresponding sub-norm of RTP.
Picolo.net products implement the following sub-norms of RTP:
65
Picolo.net Handbook Functional Specifications
RTP PAYLOAD FORMAT FOR H.264 VIDEO
The RFC 3984 describes the methodology used to encapsulate H264 (MPEG-4 Part 10) data in a
RTP stream.

RTP stream.

IP ADDRESS ALLOCATION METHODS
An IP address must be allocated to the LAN interface using one of the following methods:
n DHCP method: Automatic IP address allocation using the Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol
n Static IP method: Manual IP address allocation
The following IP address allocation methods are available:
DHCP METHOD
The DHCP method is an automatic IP address allocation method: the unique IP address is
automatically assigned by a DHCP Server.
At Power On, providing that the LLA/DHCP setting is enabled in the IP settings of the LAN
interface, the device repeatedly attempts to contact the DHCP Server.
This method requires a correctly configured and running DHCP Server on the same network.
More specifically:
n The DHCP Server must have sufficient IP addresses to deliver.
n When the DHCP Server uses MAC address filtering, it is mandatory to add the MAC address of
the LAN interface to the list of enabled MAC addresses on the DHCP Server.
Note: The LLA and DHCP methods are enabled for an out-of-the-box product or after
completion of the "Restore Factory Settings" procedure. If required, the LLA and DHCP
methods can be disabled by changing the IP settings of the LAN interface.
67
Picolo.net Handbook Functional Specifications
THE STATIC IP METHOD
With the static IP method, the IP address is assigned by the user.
Note: The static IP method is disabled for an out-of-the-box product or after completion of
the "Restore Factory Settings" procedure. If required, the static IP method can be enabled
by changing the IP settings of the LAN interface.
To manually assign a static IP address to the LAN interface, the user must proceed as follows:
1. Establish a network session using any of the automatic IP address allocation method
2. Gain access to the device Web Pages, and select the Device Network tab of the Management
page
3. Disable the automatic IP Address allocation by unchecking the "From DHCP" check-box in
the IP Address panel
4. Fill-in the IP and Subnet Mask fields with the appropriate value
5. Apply the changes by clicking on the Apply button
6. Reboot the device
HTTPS PROTOCOL
Picolo.net products implement the following TLS protocols:
n TLS 1.0 as described by RFC 2246
n TLS 1.1 as described by RFC 4346
n TLS 1.2 as described by RFC 5246
The TLS protocol uses a hybrid encryption scheme, using a public-key algorithm to exchange
securely between the server and the client a session key. That key is then used by a symmetric
key algorithm to encrypt and decrypt the subsequent messages.
The combination of HTTP and TLS is more widely known as HTTPS.

Time and Date
AUTOMATIC TIME AND DATE SYNCHRONIZATION METHOD
The automatic synchronization method keeps the device time and date in sync with the time
and date of up to two NTP servers.
This method requires to have access to at least one NTP server on the network.
The IP address of the NTP servers can be:
n Obtained automatically using DHCP providing that the DHCP server on the network provides
this service.
n Manually configured.
An out-of-the-box device, or a device after a "restore factory settings" procedure, is configured
for:
n Automatic synchronization using NTP.
n Obtain automatically DNS addresses using DHCP.
GPS TIME AND DATE SYNCHRONIZATION METHOD
By plugging in a GPS device, the user automatically switch the device into GPS time
synchronization mode. Time and date are then obtained from the GPS device, overriding known
NTP servers and the internal clock.
MANUAL TIME AND DATE SYNCHRONIZATION METHOD
When the device is configured in the manual method, the date and time may have to be
manually restored at the next power-up after a long power-off time. The super-cap protecting
the real-time clock device has an autonomy of at least 48 hours.
TIME ZONES AND DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME
Picolo.net products support time zone and daylight savings time settings. To configure the time

STREAMING
Video, audio and metadata are streamed using the RTP protocol family as defined by ONVIF.
Prior to streaming video, audio, and/or metadata, an ONVIF Media Profile must be created and
configured.
To stream video, an ONVIF Media Profile must be associated to one
VideoSourceConfiguration object and one VideoEncoderConfiguration object.
To stream audio, an ONVIF Media Profile must be associated to one
AudioSourceConfiguration object and one AudioEncoderConfiguration object.
To stream metadata, an ONVIF Media Profile must be associated to one
MetaDataConfiguration object.
An ONVIF Media Profile is associated to a unique stream URI. The URI remains valid as long as
the ONVIF Media Profile exists. The bit stream can be delivered to one (or more) clients using
one RTSP session per client.
The number of RTSP sessions is not explicitly limited.
