Introduction

In a fast changing, highly competitive market, media organizations need encoding solutions that deliver high quality, high reliability and operational flexibility. The number of channels continues to increase. HD is growing fast, offering a better quality viewing experience. Consumers are buying larger and larger TV sets and now plans are being laid for Ultra High Definition TV. All that means media organizations need to make the most efficient use of bandwidth and ensure consumers get a quality viewing experience.

The AVP is a flexible platform consisting of a base unit or chassis into which various option cards can be plugged. The base unit provides an Ethernet control interface, Ethernet data interfaces, and basic Transport Stream processing functionality. Other functionalities such as video encoding, audio encoding, and additional input or output interfaces are provided by the addition of option cards.

The AVP is designed for flexibility, modularity, multi-codec capabilities, and multiple independent outputs. Please ensure that you are familiar with the operation of the unit by reading this guide carefully.

This Reference Guide should be kept in a safe place for reference for the life of the equipment. It is not intended that this Reference Guide will be amended by the issue of individual pages. Any revision will be by a complete reissue. Further copies of this Reference Guide can be ordered from the address listed in Customer Services. If passing the equipment to a third party, also pass the relevant documentation.

2.3.3 Control Ethernet Connector

The Ethernet control ports are used to connect the equipment to a PC for access with a web browser. Both connectors share the same IP address, CTL 1 is the Primary control port, and is by default the active control port. Control Port CTL 2 should be considered as the secondary control network as it will not respond to the Control Port IP Address unless control has been passed to it either as a result of a redundancy switch, or via a user command. The active control port switches when CTL 1 has no link (e.g. carrier), and CTL 2 has the link.

2.3.4 CE Option Modules

The following connectors are provided on the CE Video Compression Modules.

2.3.4.1 Digital Video Input (CE-HEVC/BNC Option Module)

High definition digital video can be input via the four 75 Ω female BNC connector (labeled SDI 1-4) on the rear panel.

For HD video, each connector is the video source for channels 1-4. Ultra High Definition (UHD) (4K) video encoding uses all four SDI BNC connectors. The input video maybe either formatted as 4 synchronized HD quadrants or as 4 synchronized interleaved (SMPTE-425-5) sub pictures.

The LED (labeled LOCK) next to each connector shows the lock status of the input video signal for that connector.

In encoding more than one channel of H264 or HEVC video the relevant multi-channel license (x4) needs to be purchased. If only one channel is licensed, the first connector (labeled SD 1) must be used for video input. The other connectors will not be operational unless in UHD.

3.1 Introduction

Due to the number of different ways the AVP 4000 can be used, it is impossible to give precise setting up instructions for every possible working scenario. This chapter, therefore, gives general guidance and principles on how to power up and set up your unit for operation and describes the more common operations you will want to perform.

For details of all Front Panel menus and controls, see Chapter 4, Front Panel Control. For details of all Web Graphical User Interface (GUI) menus and controls, see Chapter 5, Web GUI Control.

For more information on possible networking scenarios, see Chapter 6, Advanced Video Processing and Networking.

3.2 How to Connect Up the Unit

See Chapter 2, Installing the Equipment for all connector details.

Figure 3.1 AVP 4000 Connections

Getting Started

3-8 1/1553-FGC 101 1790 Uen AB

To connect up the unit(s):

1. Connect signal input connectors Ge 1 and Ge 2 (for your input Transport Streams) to your local area network.

2. Connect signal output connectors Ge 3 and Ge 4 (for your output Transport Streams) to your local area network.

3. Connect computer control connectors CTL1 and CTL2 (for Web GUI Control) to your local area network. Both connectors share the same IP address, Ctrl1 is the Primary control port, and is by default the active control port. Control Port Ctrl2 should be considered as the secondary control network as it will not respond to the Control Port IP Address unless control has been passed to it either as a result of a redundancy switch, or via a user command. The active control port switches when Ctrl1 has no link (e.g. carrier), and Ctrl2 has the link.

4. Connect single or dual AC or DC power connectors, depending on the option purchased, to the power supply.

5. Connect your signal cables to/from your option cards, depending on which options are fitted to your unit,

3.3 How to Power Up the Unit

To power up the unit(s):

1. With all signal and power cables connected as required, switch on the AC power supply to the unit.

2. Wait for unit initialisation to complete (approximately 1.5 minutes, depending on the number of options fitted in the unit).

Caution!

This equipment should not be operated unless the cooling fans are working and there is free-air flow around the unit.

3.4 How to Set the Unit IP Address

Setting the IP address of a unit is accomplished using the front panel menus. For a full description of these menus, see Chapter 4, Front Panel Control.

To set the IP address of the unit(s):

1. Ensure the unit is fully powered up.

2. On the AVP front panel, using the rotary knob, scroll down to the Unit Config > Remote Control Setup option.

3. Press knob to select.

4. Using the keys on the keypad, set the IP address, subnet mask and gateway address.

5. Press the Select button to save or Cancel to discard the changes.

Note: It may be necessary to set the subnet mask to 0 in order to allow the IP address to be changed.

IP Addresses on the unit must adhere to RFC3330 range of restrictions as listed in the following table of allocated IP addresses.

Table 3.1 IP Address Restrictions

240.0.0.0/4 Reserved for Future Use [RFC1700, p4]

Notes: The control network and data networks should not conflict. It is suggested that the ranges for these networks are in the Private-Use Networks as listed in the summary Table.

IP Address range 192.168.10.x (subnet 255.255.255.0) is used for internal unit communications, so should not be used for external communications.

IP Address 192.168.20.20 is reserved for the use of a USB to Ethernet adapter, and should not be used for other purposes.

3.5 How to Configure Ethernet Control Ports

Overview

The Base Chassis has two Ethernet control ports that support IEEE 802.3 100BaseTX and 1000BaseT protocols. The control ports are accessible via RJ-45 connectors mounted on the rear panel of the unit.

Figure 3.2 Ethernet Control Port Numbering

The Ethernet control ports are used to connect the unit to a control computer for control through a web browser or to a control system for control through nCompass Control (V6.5 onwards).

Ethernet Control Port Parameters

A single IP port is defined for all Ethernet control traffic to and from the chassis. The physical ports used for Ethernet control are by default the control Ethernet ports. The control ports can raise an alarm during abnormal operational conditions.

The parameters controlling Ethernet port are as shown in the following table.

Table 3.2 Ethernet Control Port Parameters

Parameter Values Description Comments

Network Mode Same Network The interface pair is on the same subnet.

Read only parameter

Different Network The interface pair is on different subnet.

IP Redundancy Mode Active-Active The same traffic is present on both interfaces all the time.

Read only parameter.

Active-Standby The secondary interface is active only if the primary is down.
