Helix Broadcaster 100 Touch Screen User Guide
CHAPTER 3: Outputs

IP Address
In the
IP Address
field, use the virtual keyboard (see page 6) to enter the IP address where Helix
Broadcaster sends the stream. On a multicast-enabled network, you can use a multicast address
in the range from
224.0.0.0
and
239.255.255.255
.
Output Port
Tap the
Output Port
field and use the virtual keyboard to set the port on the destination IP
address where the output stream is delivered. For multicasting, use an available port on the
multicast address as defined by the network administrator.
Note:
If you are creating multiple outputs, the different streams must use a
different port on the destination IP address. For example, one output stream
may use port 9000 while another stream may use port 9010.
Interface
In the
Interface
drop-down, select which IP address Helix Broadcaster uses to send the data to
the target. Typically this is the
WAN
port, which is the main IP address. If you have configured
the secondary Ethernet port using the browser interface (see page 7), you can choose the
LAN
address or
All
.
Note:
Typically you do
not
use the
Local Adapter
setting, which is the loopback
address (
127.0.0.1
), for output.
Low-Latency Encoding Values
If you are using the
UDP with Low Latency TS
output, use the following buffering values to
achieve lower latency in data throughput:
•
For the input, set
Buffer Size
to
200
(see page 11).
•
On the
Filters
tab, set the output
Buffer Size
to
200
(see page 29). You can lower this value to
100
if necessary to achieve more latency reduction.
•
On the
Video
tab, set
Video Method
to
Constant Bitrate
(see page 26).
HTTP Output
The
HTTP with TS envelope
output type allows a transport stream wrapper to be pulled from
Helix Broadcaster using an HTTP URL. You can use this method to work around restrictive
firewalls if necessary or if a pull-stream is required.
