6.1.
IP Video
This connector is used for IP encapsulated ASI transport streams.
This connector must be connected to rear panel Eth. 1 port either by the supplied short Ethernet
cable if only ASI input mode is required or via a network switch if IP Input mode is required.
6.1.1.
ASI
TO
IP
An IP encapsulated ASI stream may be output, which is configured via the IP Video Out menu found
under Unit Setup|IP Options|IP Video Out.
The IP address and port of the receiving device must be defined along with the source. Note that
the Destination Port 2 and +4 are used by the error correction function and if port
forwarding is used in the network all three ports must be forwarded.
Multiplexed ASI may also be streamed over a single IP path. These can be decoded separately at a
remote location using service names to extract the various services in the same manner as if it was a
direct ASI connection.
To cross networks, the IP video can be configured using the default gateway and sub-net mask setup
parameters, and the protocol used may be set to either RTP or UDP via the Encap option. Multicast
is also supported and is enabled by configuring the Destination IP address to a value in the multicast
address range 224.0.0.0 through 239.255.255.255 inclusive.
Approximately 80Mb/s total can be streamed over 100M Ethernet, dependent on the level of FEC
applied.
6.1.2.
IP
TO
ASI
ASI may be de-encapsulated from an incoming RTP IP stream by selecting the appropriate port
number, as defined under the Unit Setup|IP Options|IP Video In menu. The external IP source must
have its destination address configured to match the value found under the IP Port Setup menu.
6.2.
Ethernet Control
This connector is used for remote control of the unit via SNMP or a web browser.
An Ethernet cable must be connected to this socket with access to the Eth. 2 connection to ensure
correct operation of the unit.
