8 The IP Manager
The IP Manager enables remote server management, monitoring and configuration. The IP Manager
is accessible via web, or via the LCD-panel on the front of the server. Two menus are available:
• the K2 Edge-menu: standard menu
• the IP Manager menu: also available when the system is unreachable (note that this menu
has less options)
If the system is unreachable, press the knob for 3 seconds to switch from the K2 Edge menu to the IP
Manager menu.
8.1 Starting the IP Manager web interface
To access the IP Manager, enter the IP Manager's IP-address in a web browser.
8.2 The LCD front panel

• Press the knob 3 seconds to return to the main menu.
• Or, to discard changes and return to the main menu from a sub menu,
rotate the knob to the
• back/cancel/discard option, then press the knob.
Some changes in settings require a restart of the nexos processes to be activated. In that case, the
Activate button is available in the IP Manager. Click Set to save changes, and then Activate to

9 UDP monitoring
Use this option to monitor Channel 0 (the single HD or SD Channel, or the HD Channel in a simulcast
setup) via IP. When enabled, a MPEG- transport stream with encoded video, graphics, subtitles and
audio (first stereo track) is sent over Ethernet using the UDP-protocol. A video player such as VLC is
installed on a workstation to view output.
You need a license to enable the monitoring functionality.
Enable monitoring via the IP Manager > System monitoring > UDP Monitoring > Ethernet
Output: select On.
Settings:
• Resolution: 320x240/ 240x180/ 160x120
• Aspect Ratio: 4:3/ 16:9
• Video Bitrate: in kbit/s
• Audio Enabled: On/Off

• Ethernet Output: select On to enable monitoring and start streaming, Off to disable.
• IP-address: IP-address of the target workstation (can be a multicast address)
• IP-port: port the player will listen to. Default 4000
To receive the stream at the client:
You can use a media player such as VLC (http://www.videolan.org/vlc/) on a local workstation to view
the video and audio content contained within the mpeg transport stream:
Start the VLC-player.
Choose Media > Open Network Stream.
Enter the network URL: udp://@:XXXX, where XXXX = the IP-port specified in the IP
Manager.
K2 Edge User Manual - document version: 4.0 – Page 13
10 Recording
With the K2 Edge Recording option you can record a Live input and ingest as an Asset.
Following file types can be recorded: AVF, MPG, MXF.
What is needed:
• A default Recording Channel is preconfigured in Cobalt Asset Manager: Record 1. To enable,
you need a License per K2 Edge.
• You need the RecPack Channel pack to work with the Recording function. The RecPack
Channel must be activated on the Recording Channel.
How to:
Enable recording on the playout server via the IP Manager > Channel configuration >
Enable recording channel: select On.
Create a (temporary) Playlist on the Recording Channel. This Playlist is used to schedule
Events with the LiveRecord Format attached.
In TX/MAM, create an empty Asset of the appropriate Asset Type.
You can also overwrite an existing Asset. In that case, make sure that in the LiveRecord
Format the Overwrite option is set to 1.
Drag the Asset into the (temporary) Record Playlist to schedule an Event.
Attach the LiveRecord Format to the Event and edit applicable settings:
You only have to specify Event Duration. You do not have to specify an Event Tc in / Tc out.
K2 Edge User Manual - document version: 4.0 – Page 14
: Pre-check OK (If not, the icon turns grey).
: Recording OK.
: Recording error.
: Ingest successfully finished.
Schedule a manual Event after the recording Event if you do not know the recording Event’s
duration in advance. When a manual Event is scheduled after the recording Event, recording
will be stopped when the manual Event is triggered. The recording Event’s duration is ignored.
Other time codes explained:
• StartLiveRec: sends the Start Live recording command to nexos, default 6 seconds
prior to start.
• Ingest Recording: starts ingest, this Applet is started when the next Event is a manual
Event. In that case duration is ignored and this Applet will stop recording.
• Default duration + 5 seconds from start.
• Ingest Recording: start ingest, default duration + 5 seconds from end.
Other parameters, Applets and Templates explained:
• Live: specifies the input port that is recorded
• pre asset: a check performed before recording starts. Verifies allowed file extensions,
Asset ID and contains the Overwrite option (0 is not allowed, 1 is allowed).
• ioInput: specifies the input port that is recorded
• format: broadcast format
• bitrate: bitrate
• audiopairs: number of pairs
• overwrite: 0 overwrite is not allowed, 1 is allowed
• vbirecord: 0 do not include vbi info, 1 include vbi inf
Note that you can modify these parameters for the Event in POC. We advise to change the
Format in Channel Composer if you want to work with different parameters than the ones
predefined.
Activate the Event(s) you want to record to the Record Channel, to the appropriate date and
time.
Make sure the LiveRec Channel Pack is activated on the Recording Channel.
The Flag column shows following status indicators:

11 Configuring time settings
Preferably a LTC-signal (Linear Timecode) is used to synchronize time codes. If this is not possible,
other options are:
• NTP sync (Network Time Protocol) to a NTP- server.
• Free running (system uses an internal clock)
Setting up NTP:
Edit /system/objects/code/setdate
• NTPSERVER: specify the NTP-server's IP-address
• ZONE: specify time zone [see options below], the ZONE-setting determines offset relative to
CET/GMT.
To test settings, from Linux command line enter:
/system/objects/code]# setdate -ntp [enter]
If settings are incorrect, an error message will be displayed.
To ensure that time is regularly synced, edit /etc/crontab. Remove the "#" in front of the line:
#00 * * * * root /system/objects/code/setdate -ntp >/dev/null 2>&1
Result:
00 * * * * root /system/objects/code/setdate -ntp >/dev/null 2>&1
K2 Edge User Manual - document version: 4.0 – Page 17
47 = seconds
Configuring time manually:
To set the date, log in via putty (ssh) as user root.
Go to the /system/objects/code folder:
...code]# cd /system/objects/code [enter]
Execute script setdate, use the –help option for an explanation:
...code]# ./setdate –help [enter]
Example:
...code]# ./setdate -m 07/29/08 11:37:47 [enter]
Explanation:
-m = manual
07 = month
29 = day of month
08 = year
11 = hours
37 = minutes
Requesting the NTP date and time:
To request the date from the NTP server configured in setdate:
...code]# ./setdate -ntp [enter]
ZONE options are listed on the next pages.
Notes:
• Options listed below are case sensitive.
• Insert a “/” sign behind continent names.
• Place ZONE names between quotes.
Example: “Europe/Amsterdam”

13 K2 Edge IOs
13.1 Tiles
De K2 Edge contains 8 bidirectional SDI-ports. One video format can be configured per tile.
IO1 is always configured as input and IO2 as output to be able to use the bypass relay. A
number of presets have been defined for the K2 Edge. These presets are selected via the IP
Manager.
IOs and tiles.
13.2 Bypass
Ports IO1 (input) and IO2 (output) can be internally connected to bypass a Channel. When set
to bypass, the signal of the main Channel is ignored, and instead the feed received at IO1 is
made available at IO2. Bypass is enabled via the IP Manager.
13.3 Master and Slaves
To make a Channel's signal available on several SDI-outputs, one or more of the IO-ports can
be configured to become slave outputs. By default, the signal provided by a slave output is an
exact copy of the master output signal. A slave output uses the properties of the master
Output it refers to, and thus cannot introduce another broadcast format for the same Channel.
13.4 Genlock
If enabled, the SDI-output synchronizes to the frame rhythm of the genlock (blackburst) signal
connected to the blackburst BNC-socket on the back of the server. If disabled, or when no
genlock signal can be detected, the output will synchronize to an internal clock. Genlock can
only be set for master outputs.

14 Supported input/output broadcast format
combinations
IO-ports can be configured as SDI-inputs. The incoming signal can be made available to one
or more Channels, for example for coverage of live events. Inputs behave much like clips on
the K2Edge; they can be queued and started at any time. Inputs be can shared over multiple
Channels, and each Channel can handle several inputs simultaneously.
In Channel Composer, the Live Object is used to manage inputs.
At the moment there is no support for auto sensing the incoming signal’s format. The input
broadcast format does not have to be an exact match of the Channel/output format, but both
frame rate and interlaced/progressive mode must match.
Supported Input/Output broadcast format combinations are:
• PAL -> 1080@50i
• 1080@50i -> PAL
• NTSC -> 1080@59.94i
• 1080@59.94i -> NTSC

16 Appendix: Changing an IP-address
After changing the playout nodes’, TX/MAM or FTP-servers’ IP-address, following
adjustments need to be made:
After changing the IP-address of the playout nodes:
1. Change the IP-address in Cobalt Asset Manager Channel settings.
After changing the virtual IP-address of the TX/MAM-servers:
On standalone demo systems, the /system/txmam_fix_ip.sh script can be used.
1. On the K2Edge nodes, in /etc/hosts adjust MAIN-DB. Specify the virtual IP of the
TX/MAM servers.
Example:
You can also set the IP-address of the TX/MAM server via the IP Manager.
2. On both the TX/MAM servers, in /usr/local/apache2/application/configs/application.ini,
adjust project_options.serverip. Specify the virtual IP of the TX/MAM
servers.
Example:
3. On both the TX/MAM servers, in usr/local/apache2/application/configs/ingest.ini,
adjust ingest.assetHostIp. Specify the virtual IP of the TX/MAM servers.
Example:
After changing the IP-address of the FTP-server:
1. On both the TX/MAM servers, in /usr/local/apache2/application/configs/videoftp.ini,
adjust:
• videoFtp.host to the FTP-server IP
• videoFtp.user to FTP-server user
• videoFtp.password to FTP-server password
• videoFtp.path to FTP-server path
2. On the TX/MAM server (main and backup) in
/system/objects/cobassets/bin/transfer_ftp.xml, adjust the transfer metadata.
Transfer metadata can be set with the /system/objects/cobassets/bin/set.sh script.
