TX Stream Properties
Stream Settings
Ø
Name
The
Name
will identify the stream to other network users and, therefore, cannot be edited later. It is
recommended to use 6 characters or less with no special characters or spaces.
Ø
Payload
From the drop-down menu, either choose a preset or select
Custom
to
the payload parameters manually.
Note that the payload will determine the stream's network packet size which, in turn, will affect the latency and
network bandwidth.
Ø
ra0 & ra1
These fields determine which interface, or interfaces, will be used to transmit the stream to the network. In each
case, if a multicast IP address is defined, then the interface will be active. To create SMPTE 2022-7 compatible
streams, you should choose either
auto
or
manual
to activate both interfaces. If redundant streaming is not
required, then one interface can be disabled (as shown above). For each interface, there are three possible
options:
·
disabled
= the interface will not be used for this stream.
·
auto
= the interface is active and the stream will be allocated an automatic multicast IP address. You
can find out the address later by
·
manual
= the interface is active, and you will need to enter your own multicast IP address. Choose this
option if your network supports a limited IP range. To configure this option, simply type the multicast IP
address into the field.
Media Settings
Ø
Medium
This field defines the RAVENNA media which will be used to publish the stream. On some devices, only one
media is available and, therefore, there is nothing to select. If your device supports more than one media, then
choose an option from the drop-down menu. For example, for a 981/61 IO module, you can choose either
RAVENNA Audio-strm0
(ra0 + ra1) or
RAVENNA Audio-strm1
(ra2 + ra3).
Ø
Consecutive tracks
Tick this check box to assign consecutive
Recording tracks
.
Ø
Recording tracks
Use this drop-down menu to assign the sending channels for the audio stream.
On an A__line device, the sending channels correspond to the RAVENNA media outputs of the internal
. So, by assigning the Recording tracks, and then routing local audio to the RAVENNA media outputs via
the matrix, you will define the audio contained in the TX stream. For convenience, the names displayed in the
drop-down menu show the assigned source signals (e.g. Mic/Line In 1, etc). 64 channels are available.
Batch Create
You can use this function to quickly create a series of similarly-configured TX streams. See
.
