T-RAX has a number of options available to suit your IT and video workflow requirements. This
section discusses some of the most commonly adjusted parameters.
NETWORK
From the web UI, configure the T-RAX interface and other network options by opening Network >
Configuration, and the Wireless interface by opening Network > WiFi. The network configuration
also shows statistics about the Ethernet interface, including up time, the MAC address, IP address,
and the amount of data sent and received. The following configuration options are available:
• Protocol – Select between DHCP client and Static address. When set to DHCP, T-RAX will
request an IP address and network configuration from the network’s DHCP server.
When set to Static address, you will need to manually configure the IP address, subnet
mask, gateway, and DNS server to connect to the network.
• Hostname to send when requesting DHCP – Enter an alphanumeric host name to identify
T-RAX when requesting a DHCP lease.
STREAMING
T-RAX encoder cards are capable of encoding and streaming video by using a variety of different
protocols. Choose the Stream Mode best suited for your application. Find information on several
common stream modes below. To view or modify the current streaming configuration, navigate to
Cards > Configuration, then tap Edit. All Streaming options are located under the card’s Stream tab.
Live:Air
Live:Air is a video production suite that can receive feeds from any of T-RAX’s encoder cards for real-
time video mixing, switching and even transitions. Once you’ve configured an encoder card to stream
to Live:Air, you can manage it from the Live:Air app.
MPEG Transport Stream
In MPEG Transport Stream mode, the encoder card sends video via UDP or TCP to a specified unicast
or multicast address. MPEG Transport Stream is used in many broadcast applications and is also
supported by many IPTV set top boxes. To enable MPEG Transport Stream, select MPEG Transport
Stream, choose your streaming protocol (see below), enter your destination IP address and port, then
select Apply.
