GB1 / GB2 Tabs

These tabs allow you to configure the destination media’s video format, audio channels,

and the SMPTE ST 2110 output stream’s IP addresses and port numbers.
Each channel can:

• Send up to four SMPTE 2110-20 video streams (

Video 1

Video 4

• 4



3G 2SI division 1080p IP output signals

• 4



3G square division 1080p IP output signals

• 1



12G single-stream 2160p IP output signal

• Send full ancillary space on one SMPTE 2110-40 metadata stream (

Meta 1

)

• Send 4 audio streams (

Audio 1

Audio 4

)

• Audio 1 can send up to 64 audio channels
• Audio 2 to 4 can send up to 64 audio channels, but only audio channel 1 to 16 are

passed through. Audio channels 17 to 64 will contain silence.

Statuses confirm that the RTP stream is successfully streaming.
The configuration of the

GB2

tab is the same as the

GB1

tab. Only the configuration of the

GB1

tab is shown below.
