IP Outputs
IP Outputs receive data from connected inputs, format this data for transmission over UDP/IP,
and send it with very precise timing over the Ethernet ports. The 9220 card supports up to 8
transport stream outputs per Ethernet port. IP Outputs have the following specifications:
•
Format support: MPEG-2 Transport Packets over UDP/IP.
•
Number of MPEG-2 Transport Packets per UDP datagram: fixed at 7.
•
Addressing support: unicast, multicast and broadcast.
•
Advanced control over the IP header fields available.
IP Outputs: Configuration Tab
The IP Output Configuration follows a similar workflow as the IP Inputs. Ports can be created,
configured, and deleted. Before any ports are created, the Configuration Tab appears as depicted
below:
To create an IP Output stream, first select the desired Ethernet port in the Add Stream drop-
down box. Once that selection is made, the IP Output Stream Configuration is displayed, as
depicted below (Basic View). The configuration screen has two areas:
•
IP Output Parameters: these are the parameters specific to the IP Output configuration.
The set of parameters available for configuration depends on the View selection. In the
Basic view, suitable default values are entered for the advanced parameters.
•
Connection Parameters: these allow a standalone or redundant connection to be made
to the output port.
The Connection Parameters are common to all output ports, and will be described in the
Connections section, later in this document.
