5.3.6 Setup streams
With the command Setup streams... the Setup streams dialog is opened. It serves to configure the settings
needed to connect to the video streams monitored by the H
YDRA.
Like on the Setup encoders dialog with the Name field and the Add and Delete button, streams can be added
and removed, please see the section above. To edit the settings of a stream, the stream must be selected in the
Streams list; a purple bar then marks it.
The entries under Encoder define the connecting settings for communication from the H
YDRA to the encoder. The
Encoder list contains all defined encoder types. If the suitable type is not yet in the list it must be defined with
the Setup encoders dialog first. If in the Setup Encoder dialog TCP was enabled then the IP address of the en-
coder must be inserted into the IP address field and the respective port number on that the encoder listens to
messages from the H
YDRA must be inserted into the Port field.
The Video PID should be entered for transport streams and if the PAT (program allocation tables) or the PMT
(program map tables) is not sent with the stream. 0 is a predefined value. It causes an auto-search for the video
PID. No video will be shown, if no valid PID is found.
The section Destination describes the settings the encoder uses to distribute the stream. The H
YDRA needs these
settings to receive the stream. It can be selected between the packet types Unicast, Broadcast and Multicast.
If Unicast is selected, only the Port of the Streaming video card must be indicated. The encoder sends the
stream just to one single unicast IP address, which is in this case the IP address of the Streaming video card,
please refer to section
5.3.4 Setup module (Boards). With Multicast you have to indicate the multicast address of
the stream into the IP address field (ranges within 224.x.x.x to 239.x.x.x) as well as the Port where the stream
is sent to. For a Broadcast stream, you only have to indicate the respective Port.
All changes done in the Setup streams dialog are only adapted, when the OK button is pressed. With the Cancel
button all changes also the added and deleted encoders are rejected.
