Managing and Configuring Sources
Note:
The process of managing and configuring input sources for Live Capture has
changed in v3.0 (and later). All source management and configuration should now be
done from the
Source Manager
page (see below for details). The Capture Inventory
panel within the Vantage Management Console should be used for discovering
Workflows and Previewing the Inputs only.
Before capture video sources can be used, they need to be configured using the Source
Manager web app located at
http://localhost:8090/
or
http://[hostname]:8090/
.
Up to four SDI streaming video sources, such as those from live cameras, can be connected
through the SDI Input connectors on the back panel of the Lightspeed Live Server. You can
also add IP-based RTMP and Transport Streams from your Ethernet connection.
Sources display the current input or the LOS Video Test Pattern that is selected in the
Configure Source dialog if there is no input. SDI inputs can be combined to make a
single 4K input. You can edit SDI sources but not delete them. They update when you
change the SDI input source. For supported formats see
When there are multiple Lightspeed Live servers, the list of Sources in the Live Stream web
app is separated into a panel for each server, and each panel can be expanded and collapsed.
These are the source configuration topics covered here:
■

■
Configuring a File Loop Source
■
Configuring a Transport Stream Source

■
Managing and Configuring Audio Tracks
Note:
Sources cannot be edited when they are being used by an active Channel.
