Basic Configuration Tutorial
Creating a Session
Before the video and audio (if any) can be sent out over the network, a session must be created on the encoder.
The session assigns each stream to a unique multicast IP address and UDP port assignment. Sessions are always
created on encoders. Refer to
for a detailed description of all settings.
The following
procedure should be performed on both AT-OMNI-111 encoders, except where noted
.
1. Click
SESSION
in the menu bar, locate
Stream 1
, and click the
Interface
drop-down list to select the desired
interface. This can be changed to
eth1
or
none
. For this example,
Stream 1
will be transmitted over the
ETHERNET 1
port. Therefore, set this to
eth1
.
2. The
Scrambling
toggle switch is enabled by default. When enabled, this toggle will be green. Leave this setting
enabled.
3. The
Key
field is set to
scrambling
by default. Scrambling keys can be any combination of alphanumeric
characters and it is good practice to use them. For this tutorial, use the default key.
4. Select the encoder for the video stream. In the last section,
HDMI Input 1
was assigned to
Encoder 1
.
Therefore, set the
Video
>
Encoder
field to
Encoder 1
.
5. Click the
Video
>
Enable Video
toggle switch and make sure it is enabled for
Stream 1
. When enabled, the
toggle switch will be green. If set to disabled, then the encoder video stream will be disabled.
6. Enter the multicast IP address for the video stream in the
Video
>
Destination Multicast/Unicast Address
field.
Atlona recommends using multicast IP addresses, as shown in
Table 1.1
on the next page. Enter
226.0.0.1
in
the
Video > Destination Multicast/Unicast Address
field for
Stream 1
on
Encoder #1
. For
Encoder #2
, enter
226.0.0.2
in the
Video
>
Destination Multicast/Unicast Address
field for
Stream 1
.
7.
Enter the UDP port in the
Video
>
Destination UDP port
field. Although any valid UDP port can be used, Atlona
suggests using the UDP port numbers in
Table 2.1
, on the next page. Since this is a video stream, enter
1000
in
the
Video
>
Destination UDP port
field for
Stream 1
.
