Orah 4i User Guide v1.2.0
You can choose an existing preset, delete the selected custom preset, or create a new one.
If you modify an existing preset, you will be able to update, save as a new preset or cancel. The default preset (local-preview-server) can not be deleted. This preset can be used to stream to the box internal server. For more detail you can see our tutorial:
http://support.orah.co/hc/en-us/articles/115000034264-How-to-setup-a-4K-preview
■ RTMP endpoint configuration
■ Enter the correct RTMP server URL to broadcast the RTMP stream to. The system supports any service capable of ingesting RTMP.
■ Enter the stream key as configured on your server.
For more security when broadcasting, you can tick the “use RTMP authentication” box. The username and password to fill in in the RTMP configuration are those defined in your CDN configuration.
You can also change the encoding of the video you will stream.
■ Encoding - to define how the video is compressed and streamed.
■ H264 Profile: to change the compression quality.
■ High (recommended)
■ main
■ baseline
Generally High profile offers the most bandwidth efficient compression for streaming. Main and Baseline can be useful if you have specific device or server compatibility requirements. For more details about profiles : click here.
■ Max Bitrate in Kbps: the number of kilobits per second. This parameter defines the video compression. It affects the general quality of the image. The minimum is 2500 and the maximum is 50000. YouTube’s recommendation for 4k streamed video is between 13000 Kbps - 30000 Kbps. Do not exceed the upload bandwidth of your internet connection, to avoid packet losses during the upload.
The level is the result of the resolution, H264 profile and the bitrate.
Save your changes to a new profile or update one of your existing profiles.

■ Mac address - unique identifier assigned to network interfaces for communication at the data link layer of a network segment. The MAC address may be needed by the network administrator to allow the Stitching Box to connect on the network.
■ IP address - a numerical label assigned to each device of an Internet Protocol network, allowing to find and reach it.
■ Mask - bit mask defining which part of an IP address is targeting the network and which is targeting hosts.
■ Gateway - allows to communicate with another network.
If IP Address, Mask, and Gateway boxes are blank then check the physical connections between the Stitching Box and the DHCP server. Ensure the DHCP server is configured correctly. Without information here the Stitching Box will not be able to broadcast a live stream.

Audio
I. Audio sources
By clicking on the “Audio” button on the bottom left of the interface, the audio settings display. It can take 3 to 5 seconds for the modifications to be applied. This is due to the streaming protocol we are using (HLS).
● There is two ways to capture the sound from the camera: stereo and ambisonic.
● Stereo: The preview, the broadcast and the record are in stereo.
● Ambisonic: The VR preview, the broadcast and the record are in ambisonic sound.
Please note that the equirectangular preview is always in stereo, no matter which audio source is selected.
When the camera source is selected, the gain slider displays. The gain permits to change the sensibility of the microphone (the value ranges from -12 to +67.5). The higher the gain, the more sensitive the microphones.
Orah 4i - User Guide v1.2.0 Copyright 2017 - VideoStitch inc.

Page 26
Orah 4i User Guide v1.2.0
Using line-In (stereo): You can connect an external microphone or a smartphone/tablet/mp3 on the box via the frontal jack 3.5.
Note: The sound may not be synchronized with the video. To reach a perfect synchronization, you can tweak the delay slider(value ranging from -1sec to +1sec). If the sound comes later than the video, you should decrease the delay value and vice versa.
II. External USB Cards
Orah v1.2.0 release adds support for professional USB audio cards.
We currently support two cards: Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 et Scarlette 18i8.
We will list supported cards as we collect feedback. Any USB audio class compliant device is expected to detected and work similarly. If you have a different USB audio card, we encourage you to test it and tell us about it.
1.Using USB audio cards
Hot plugging / unplugging of the card is not supported :
● USB audio card must be plugged in before boot in order to be detected
● USB audio card must not be removed while Orah 4i is running
● Multiple USB audio cards can not be used simultaneously
When the audio card is detected, it will appear as an audio source in the audio settings.

Orah 4i User Guide v1.2.0
Ambisonic audio
Orah 4i can capture ambient audio in first order (4 channels) ambisonic, thanks to it's advanced audio processing and specifically positioned microphones.
It delivers spatial audio in AmbiX format (ACN channel layout and SN3D normalization).
I.Spatial audio preview in the browser
Spatial audio can be previewed in the control app using the VR preview. It is enabled automatically when you configure Orah 4i with an ambisonic audio source.
Note: Ambisonic playback will fail on iPhones and iPads, as iOS does not currently support HLS preview with 4 channels of audio. Internet Explorer 11 does not support Ambisonic neither. In those cases an icon is displayed on the upper-right of the Orah Webapp.
II. Ambisonic recording
The recorded MP4 files embed spatial media metadata for spatial audio playback on platforms that support it, such as Youtube and Facebook.
The metadatas provide the description of the ambisonic format for these platforms to playback the audio accurately.
III. Ambisonic broadcasting
Orah 4i is also capable of broadcasting spatial audio. The broadcasted stream will yield 4 channels of AmbiX formatted audio. In the case of ambisonic audio broadcasting, no metadata are passed to configure the player or CDN.

Orientation
I. Stabilization
Ticking the “camera in motion” box keeps the image straight and aligned with the horizon. The stabilization process can also be used to avoid crooked horizon if the camera is shaking (during a movement).
You can also feel the need of putting the camera in place upside-down. In this case, once the installation is done, you can tick the “camera in motion” to level the image of the camera.
You can also rotate the view of the camera manually using the Yaw, Pitch and Roll value. Add a value between -359 to 359 and click on the “rotate” button to apply it. It is possible to reset the value pressing the reset button.

III. Using Orah 4i HDMI output with Blackmagic Design Decklink and ATEM equipment
When plugging Orah 4i to a Blackmagic design ATEM switch, you need to plug the HDMI cable on the switch after it has been connected to Orah 4i HDMI output. You may need to reboot unplug and replug the HDMI cable on the ATEM switch for the video to display.
Please note that most Blackmagic design equipment will not display any video signal unless they are configured at the correct resolution and framerate.
