VIDEO/AUDIO INPUT

The Video/Audio Input menu contains several input source configuration and video overlay options.

Video Input Source - Video Input Source lets you select the type of signal providing the video source. Deinterlacer - The Deinterlacer converts interlaced video into progressive video before streaming, improving the appearance of video that has been scaled down from the original input resolution. In addition to supporting scaled down interlaced video, deinterlacing is also useful when streaming to the internet or mobile devices instead of a decoder.

1080p 50/60 Handling (600 series encoders only) - Select whether to convert your video input to progressive video (Half Framerate) or interlaced video (Interlacer). Progressive (50/60) Output (700 series encoders only) - With the Deinterlacer enabled, select whether your your stream is transmitted in 1080p60 (Enabled), or 1080p30 (Disabled).

SDI Ancillary Data (600 series encoders only) - Extract Timecode or Closed Captions data from the SDI input and embed it into your stream.

Test Pattern Broadcast a test image when no video is connected. Setting Force to Enabled allows the encoder to stream a test pattern (Fig. 3-1, 3-2) regardless of the video connection.

Audio Input Source - Configure the audio input source. Selecting Embedded (HDMI) allows you to enable or disable L/R audio channels. Selecting Analog allows you to manually adjust the

volume. Selecting Disabled produces a silent stream.

The Color Management menu contains options for adding specific looks from your computer and saving them to Cube’s interface. These looks can either be 3D LUT files, CDL preset files, or files composed of both formats. Use this menu or the front panel interface to apply presets to the video output. Up to 32 looks can be stored on the device.

Color Management options Graded - Enable a look preset Split - Display a split screen view of the original image and any selected preset Original Signal - Transmit the input source’s original look without a look preset

Creating a Look

Look presets can be created from a 3D LUT and either an ASC CDL file or 1D LUT + Saturation files.

1. Select Add a new Look.

2. Enter a name for your look under the name field. If a name is not entered, the look will use the same name as the 3D LUT filename. Names can be up to 32 characters long.

3. Select whether you would like to load a CDL file (Fig. 3-3), or a 1D LUT file + Saturation file, then click Choose File to select the file(s) from your computer.

4. Select Choose File under the 3D LUT section and pick the 3D LUT file you wish to use.

ENCODER

With Cube, you can control various characteristics of the network video stream, such as bitrate, frame rate, and resolution. Use this section to help you adjust the video stream to best suit your streaming environment. The Primary stream offers a complete set of options that are fully configurable; a subset of those options are available for the Quickview stream.

Encoder Options

Codec (700 series encoders only) - Select either HEVC or H.264 compression formats. Bitrate and Audio Bitrate - Select your stream’s target bitrate. Lower bitrates require less bandwidth and may allow for a more stable stream while higher bitrates offer better video quality, but require more network bandwidth. Resolution - Scale down the encoder’s input resolution or maintain the input’s native resolution. Frame Rate - Set the encoder frame rate to full frame rate or a fraction of the input frame rate.

Max Frame Rate - Manually enter your stream’s target frame rate. Key Frame Interval - Adjust the amount of time between full picture refreshes.

By default, the encoder generates one key frame every two seconds.

Advanced Options

Caching* - This value can be left at its default (300 ms) in most cases. Decreasing

the value reduces overall latency, but video quality and stability may deteriorate. Increase this value if your video stream stability is affected by a poor or challenging network environment. Audio Sample Rate - Set the encoder audio sample rate. Aspect Ratio* - Select the encoder aspect ratio -- Either Auto, 4:3, or 16:9. Use Square Pixels*- This feature can be left enabled unless used with a decoder that requires non-square pixels. When enabled, the horizontal resolution is adjusted to set the picture aspect ratio (1:1 pixel aspect ratio). If disabled, the pixel aspect ratio varies to determine the picture aspect ratio. Compression Profile - High profile encoding typically gives the best image quality at a given bitrate. Main and Baseline profiles utilize slightly different features, and may be more compatible with some decoders. Frame Structure*- Select Macroblock-adaptive frame-field (MBAFF), frame, or field coding for interlaced video encoding. SEI Timing* -Enable or disable SEI timing. This should be left enabled unless required for a particular stream application.

Overlay

Title - Overlay text or images onto your video stream, then adjust the appearance

and location of text. Image - Overlay imported images onto your video stream, then adjust the location of the image.

Rate Control*

Mode- Select Auto, Manual, or Debug. Additional options are present when set to

Manual‟or Debug mode.

Static Scene Detection - Prevents bitrate spikes during static-to-dynamic scene transitions when enabled. Improves video quality in mostly static scenes when disabled. Complexity Detection- Allows the encoder to adapt more quickly to very complex content and scene changes. Zero Padding - The stream is held at the configured bitrate. Extra data is added to the stream to “pad” the bitrate if it would otherwise drop below the configured value, preventing the bitrate from exceeding the configured value.

* 600 series encoders only

Encoder Settings Considerations

● Encoder settings will vary based on the

bandwidth available and the platform used.

● Always select a video bitrate that is less than

70% of the total upload bandwidth available on the Internet connection (i.e. if 5 Mbps is available, set the video to 3.5 Mbps or lower).

● Some platforms (i.e. YouTube) will

automatically generate lower quality streams from a high quality input (transcoding), so the highest possible quality can be used. If the streaming platform does not transcode the video, consider that your viewers must have the available download bandwidth to view the stream.

Page 14

NETWORK INTERFACES

Cube allows you to connect and stream to the Internet by utilizing one of several network interfaces.

Wired

A wired Ethernet connection is typically the most reliable means for connecting to a network, as you don’t have to deal with the instability of a Wi-Fi or cellular connection. To configure the Ethernet interface, select Wired from the Network Interfaces page, then click Modify (Fig. 3-5).

IP Address Modes

Dynamic (DHCP) - The connected router generates an IP address, allowing Cube to be automatically configured. Static - Manually configure the IP address settings if a DHCP server is not available, or if applications require a fixed address.

Fig. 3-5

Wireless (Wi-Fi)

Although an Ethernet connection is the most reliable method of connecting to a network, a Wi-Fi connection may be more convenient, especially if an Ethernet connection is unavailable. There are two Wi-Fi modes available; Access Point (AP) Mode and Client

(Infrastructure) Mode (Fig. 3-6).

Wi-Fi Modes Access Point (AP) Mode - Cube acts as its own dual band

access point, allowing you to connect your device directly to Cube’s AP network. Client (Infrastructure) Mode - Cube and your device connect to the same local wireless network. Access Client

Mode, then click Browse to scan for available networks (Fig. 3-7), or Saved Networks to connect to a previously saved network, then enter your credentials.

VIDEO STREAM OUTPUT

Depending on the video’s destination, you can pick from a variety of different stream modes, each with it’s own set of configurable settings described here.

CONFIGURABLE SETTINGS

LIVE:AIR

Live:Air Action is a video production suite that can receive feeds from any Cube encoder for real-time video mixing, switching and even transitions. Once you’ve configured Cube to stream in Live:Air mode, you can manage it from the Live:Air Action (see page 7) or VUER apps (see page 8).

• Advanced Settings

- Buffer - Max Clients

TERADEK STREAMING TDS

TDS is specifically optimized for local streaming with minimum latency between Teradek devices. Configure TDS by entering the IP address and destination port of a Teradek decoder.

MPEG TRANSPORT STREAM MPEG-TS

To stream over MPEG Transport Stream, you’ll first need to purchase the license from Teradek. In MPEG Transport Stream Mode, Cube sends video via a TCP or UDP protocol to a specified unicast or multicast address. TCP is recommended when streaming over the internet, while UDP is recommended when streaming over a local network to avoid the additional network overhead of TCP. Select the protocol best suited for your application needs, and ensure the Cube encoder is configured to stream to the Cube decoder’s corresponding IP address and port.

SRT

SRT is used to transmit high quality, low-latency video over unreliable networks. SRT has two Server modes: Enabled or Disabled. When server mode is Enabled the encoder waits for one or more clients to connect and pull the stream from it. When server mode is Disabled, the encoder pushes video to a single destination IP address on a specific port. For either mode, a port number is needed, and a passphrase (if one is set). For a direct connection (Server mode disabled), enter the correct destination IP address.

RTP/RTSP

Cube is configured to stream via RTSP by default. RTSP is used for local streaming to computers and Cube decoders. When RTP/RTSP mode is enabled, the decoder communicates whether to use the TCP or UDP protocol for the stream. Ensure you have the correct port and stream name (stream1 is the default). To view your stream on VLC, copy the link displayed under Video Stream Output panel in the Settings Menu (Fig. 3-14). To view an RTSP stream, launch VLC and navigate to File>Open Network. Paste the link in the URL field, then click Open.

CONFIGURABLE SETTINGS

• Stream

• Port

• RTSP Authentication

• Username

• Password

RTMP

RTMP mode allows Cube to stream to other video platforms, CDNs, and streaming servers that are not one of the available Internet Streaming platforms (see below). RTMP is supported by most video streaming platforms, but you must first obtain a URL and stream key/name from the service you choose to stream to. Log into your account’s settings and retrieve the URL and stream key/name.

HTTP LIVE HLS

HTTP Live streaming (HLS) is supported natively by iOS-based devices and desktop computers (Mac OS X). Due to unreliable network conditions, local streaming to a browser or iOS device will have a higher degree of latency. For low latency streaming to iOS devices, use Live:Air mode with Teradek’s Live:Air Action, VUER, or TeraView apps.

NETWORK INTERFACES

Cube allows you to connect and stream to the Internet by utilizing one of several network interfaces.

Wired

A wired Ethernet connection is typically the most reliable means for connecting to a network, as you don’t have to deal with the instability of a Wi-Fi or cellular connection. To configure the Ethernet interface, select Wired from the Network Interfaces page, then click Modify (Fig. 4-5).

IP Address Modes

Dynamic (DHCP) - The connected router generates an IP address, allowing Cube to be automatically configured. Static - Manually configure the IP address settings if a DHCP server is not available, or if applications require fixed address.

Fig. 4-5

Page 31

Wireless (Wi-Fi)

Although an Ethernet connection is the most reliable method of connecting to a network, a Wi-Fi connection may be more convenient, especially if an Ethernet connection is unavailable. There are two Wi-Fi modes available (Fig. 4-6);

Access Point (AP) Mode and Client (Infrastructure) Mode.

Wi-Fi Modes Access Point (AP) Mode - Cube acts as its own dual band access

point, allowing you to connect your device directly to Cube’s AP network. Client (Infrastructure) Mode - Cube and your device connect to the same local wireless network. Access Client Mode, then click Browse

to scan for available networks (Fig. 4-7), or Saved Networks to connect to a previously saved network, then enter your credentials.

USB Modem

A USB modem allows you to broadcast wherever a cell connection is available. Cube automatically detects and supports many modems using the Auto setting. If you need to configure a modem, connect to Cube using AP mode (see page 17), and insert the USB Modem into Cube (Fig. 4-8). From the Network Interfaces page, select USB Modem, then select a configuration mode.

Fig. 4-6

Fig. 4-7

Configuration Modes (Fig. 4-9)

Auto (default): The modem is automatically detected and configured. Custom: Allows you to manually configure a modem if it’s not automatically detected. Available configuration modes are GSM, CDMA, Composite, and Ethernet. Modes will vary based on the modem model and mobile network provider.

VIDEO STREAM SOURCE

Select from a variety of different stream types to match your input source from the drop-down menu, or select an available stream to decode.

CONFIGURABLE SETTINGS

TERADEK STREAMING TDS

TDS is specifically optimized for local streaming with minimum latency between Teradek devices. Configure TDS by selecting a protocol (UDP or Multicast) and entering the destination port of the Teradek encoder. Enter the IP address if streaming in Multicast.

• Protocol

• Port

• Advanced Settings

- Caching

- Audio Sample Rate

RTP/RTSP

When RTP/RTSP mode is enabled, the decoder communicates whether to use the TCP or UDP protocol for the stream. Ensure you have the correct port and stream name (stream1 is the default). To view your stream on VLC, copy the IP address from the Host field, launch VLC and open File>Open Network. Paste the IP address in the URL field, then click Open.

RTP PUSH

RTP Push streaming allows you to direct video to a server or client and generate an SDP file containing the stream description. SDP files can be stored on a streaming server, or opened by video players like VLC. The RTP Push license is provided by request, free of charge.

MPEG TRANSPORT STREAM MPEG-TS

To stream over MPEG Transport Stream, you’ll first need to purchase the license from Teradek. In MPEG Transport Stream Mode, Cube sends video via a TCP or UDP protocol to a specified unicast or multicast address. TCP is recommended when streaming over the internet, while UDP is recommended when streaming over a local network to avoid the additional network overhead of TCP. Select the protocol best suited for your application needs, and ensure the Cube encoder is configured to stream to the Cube decoder’s corresponding IP address and port.

SRT

SRT is used to transmit high quality, low-latency video over unreliable networks. SRT has two connection types: Pull or Listen. Pull draws the stream from the encoder, while Listen waits for the encoder to initiate the connection. For either mode, a port number will be needed, and a passphrase (if one is set).

LIVE:AIR

Live:Air Action is a video production suite that can receive feeds from any Cube encoder for real-time video mixing, switching and even transitions. Once you’ve configured Cube to stream in Live:Air mode, you can manage it from the Live:Air Action (see page 7) or VUER apps (see page 8).

Video Input LED stays off, but a video cable is connected.

No video input is detected. Verify that your video source is connected to Cube. Check cables for damage. Check that the camera’s video output is enabled, and the output format is compatible with Cube

AUDIO/VIDEO STREAMING

Cannot open or view my video stream.

Cube may not be encoding, or the stream URL may be incorrect. Verify that Cube is encoding (Codec Status LED is illuminated).

Video stream keeps breaking up/freezing.

Bitrate/resolution may be set too high for the network’s available bandwidth. From the Encoder menu, lower the bit rate and/or resolution to avoid lost/late video data. For 600 series Cubes, manually adjusting the Rate Control settings (see page 14) provides more control over the streaming bandwidth, and may improve performance in challenging or restricted network environments.

VLC video latency is more than a second.

By default, VLC’s buffer is set to 1.2 seconds. Decreasing the buffer size will reduce the latency.

Video to iPad is delayed by more than 10 seconds.

HTTP Live mode is enabled. For low latency streaming to iOS devices, download any of Teradek’s video streaming iOS apps (Live:Air Action, TeraView, or VUER), then switch to Quickview stream.

NETWORK/WEB UI

My video stream does not have audio.

Either audio is disabled, or Quickview stream is being used. Enable audio (embedded or analog) on the Video/ Audio Input menu.

Cannot connect to Cube in Access Point (AP) mode.

The network settings may be incorrect. (a) Verify you are connected to Cube’s AP network (see page 8). Make sure Cube’s Wi-Fi indicator is displayed. (b) Verify your computer is set to DHCP or has an IP address in the 172.16.x.x

Cannot connect to Cube in Infrastructure (Client) mode.

Cube may be disconnected from the network, or the network settings may be incorrect. From the front panel interface, navigate to Network Setup > WiFi, then select [Status] to view the WiFi status menu (see page 6). If you still cannot configure your WiFi connection, connect an Ethernet cable to Cube, access the web UI, and verify that infrastructure SSID, password, and security type are correct.
