Manual Configuration via the Web Pages The Ericsson SPR1100 has been designed to be configured and controlled by its own web interface, which is described here. The main Transcode Configuration page can be found by the following navigation : Configure > Services 1) Configure Input Streams The left-hand panel of the Transcode page defines the input Transport Streams to be processed by the unit.
Transport Streams are grouped by Physical Interface. Each Transport Stream is defined by its IP address and port number. Multiple services can reside within each transport stream, with multiple components within each service. The tree of input streams is navigated by expanding and contracting items using the and buttons alongside. All entries within an item can be expanded by right-clicking on that item and selecting Expand All .
by the unit. Transport Streams are again grouped by Physical Interface. Each transport Stream has an IP address and port number, and can contain multiple services, with multiple components in each service. Transport Streams may be added in several ways: Right-clicking the Output Interface and selecting Add transport stream . Dragging streams or services from the Inputs panel and dropping them onto an appropriate place in the heirarchy of the Outputs panel.
the output service and selecting "Duplicate Selected on output". 3) Configure the Transcode Operations Each item in the Outputs panel can be configured at its position in the heirarchy. This allows the operator to configure all dependent items together; for example, selecting a transport stream would allow all services within that transport stream to be configured together. Individual components can also be altered if a common configuration is not desired.
For each item selected, a number of panes will appear in theProperties panel. These include: Transport Stream Service Video Component Video PIP Component Audio Component Not all of these will be available for every component. Each pane of the configuration may have several sets of parameters that may be configured. These are arranged in a tabbed interface within the pane.
4) Warnings, Errors and History At the bottom of the Services Configuration page is an "Information" panel. This can show Warnings, Errors, or Change History according to the tab selection on the left hand side 5) Allocation Status With the very dense transcode configurations possible with the Ericsson SPR1100, it is all too easy to lose track of exactly how much of the unit's resource has been used.
All configuration changes initially only occur in the User Interface. The Ericsson SPR1100 does not change its behaviour until the operator presses the "Apply All" button. Once the configuration is applied, the unit is updated with the new configuration. NOTE: Changing the configuration may cause output glitching. This is kept to a minimum; transcoder units which do not need reconfiguration will not be interrupted. Additionally, changing the output bit rate willnot cause a glitch. © Ericsson AB 2011.

Home > SPR1100 Handbook > Transport Stream Output > Output > ProMPEG FEC ProMPEG FEC NOTE: This feature is not yet available. FEC Parameters FEC is set up on a per-transport stream basis. The following description applies to the graphical user interface.
Forward Error Correction or FEC, enables packets lost during transmission over IP networks to be recovered by adding extra information to the transmitted data. The particular type of FEC used on the unit is that specified by SMPTE 2022 1/2. The key features of ProMPEG FEC are: • Open standard FEC scheme. • Increased robustness of transmission. • Increases network reach through FEC on high loss links. • Highly configurable depending on bandwidth vs. robustness. • FEC transmitted separately to media stream.
Block Aligned linearisation is dealt with in Annex B of the ProMPEG Code of Practice. In Block Aligned column FEC packets are sent every D’th frame and the L Column FEC packets are played out every D slots. They are therefore evenly spread over the D*L matrix period. Non Block Aligned linearisation is dealt with in Annex A of the ProMPEG Code of Practice. In Non Block Aligned the matrix is ‘skewed’ for the column calculation.

Transcode Input Redundancy The Ericsson SPR1100 has three modes of redundancy which apply to input Transcode Streams: Same Multicast. Each Physical Data Interface carries the same multicast(s). Each service can have a "Primary" and a "Secondary" source. In the event of the Primary failing, the secondary will be selected automatically. Different Multicast, Same Network. One Physical Data Interface can carry several multicast streams, some of which will be marked as "Secondary" to the "Primary" multicasts.
A new Multicast Transport Stream can be created from the same menu, if that is desired. Manual redundancy A manual switch can be selected by right clicking on the secondary stream, and selecting "Activate". Secondaries may only be activated if they contain services used in current transcode operations. NOTE: This function, unlike almost everything else in the interface, takes effect immediately. The "Apply All" button is not required.

The Alarm Manager function is described, as is the use on an SNMP Trap. Alarms - Control Port This lists the alarms that could be raised by the control port during abnormal operational conditions.
Home > SPR1100 Handbook > Looking After The Unit > Troubleshooting > Managing Alarms > Alarms Alarms The chassis can report any error condition by generating an alarm event. Alarms are reported on the web page of the chassis, and can also be reported by the generation of SNMP traps. Every alarm event type is assigned a severity level, the possible alarm severity levels are: masked, warning, minor, major, and critical. If an alarm is masked, the alarm event causes no action.
A control system will assume that the associated transcoder module has failed, and will perform a card level redundancy switch. Alarm Treatment Alarms are associated with either a Transcoder Module or the Host. A Transcoder Module informs the Host of the alarms that it can generate as part of its capabilitiesxml file. The Host reads this file when the Transcoder Module is detected. Alarms are treated as parameters, and are thus stored in the Parameter Store.

Home > SPR1100 Handbook > Appendices > Option Cards > Handling Option Cards > Handling Option Cards Handling Option Cards Physical Handling WARNING! CARE MUST BE TAKEN IN INSERTING OR WITHDRAWING ANY OPTION CARD. UNDERSIDE COMPONENTS MAY BE PHYSICALLY DAMAGED BY CARELESS HANDLING. Cards must be inserted and withdrawn slowly whilst ensuring that the card is kept orthogonal (at 90 degrees to the rear of the unit): WARNING! OPTION CARDS SHOULD NOT BE PLUGGED IN WITH EXCESSIVE FORCE.
Static electricity can damage electronic components. To avoid damage, keep option cards in their static-protective package until you are ready to install them. To reduce the possibility of electrostatic discharge, observe the following precautions: Where possible ensure that antistatic protection is worn by the user (for example an earthed antistatic wrist strap, an ankle or heel strap). Handle the Option Card carefully, holding it by its edges or its rear panel.
Home > SPR1100 Handbook > Appendices > Option Cards > Handling Option Cards > Adding an Option Card Adding an Option Card Overview A new card can be inserted when the chassis is off or on. Once inserted and powered the chassis will determine the option card capabilities and make it available for configuration. - Initially a default set of parameters will be in place. As long as there are licenses available for the features required, the option card can then be configured and used immediately.
Home > SPR1100 Handbook > Appendices > Option Cards > Handling Option Cards > Removing an Option Card Removing an Option Card WARNING! Refer to "HANDLING OPTION CARDS" to minimise risk of damage to option cards or base chasis. An option card can be removed, and does not need to be replaced. 1. Disconnect any cables from the option card to be replaced. 2. Loosen the two captive screws that retain the option card in the base chassis. 3.
Home > SPR1100 Handbook > Appendices > Option Cards > Handling Option Cards > Replacing an Option Card Replacing an Option Card A failed option card can be replaced without powering down the base chassis, i.e. can be ‘hot-swapped’. 1. To perform a hot-swap the option cards should only be unplugged or inserted when the chassis is fully booted and configured. 2.

Home > SPR1100 Handbook > Appendices > Option Cards > Option Card Hot Swap Option Card Hot Swap The unit regularly monitors to verify option card presence and to detect if a card has been removed or added. When a new card is inserted it will start-up and attempt to link to the host controller. When this link has been established the process of identifying the card and its capabilities begins.
Home > SPR1100 Handbook > Appendices > Option Cards > Option Card Plug and Play Transcoder Module Plug and Play The unit is designed around a ‘Plug and Play’ concept to make it as easy as possible to add new transcoder modules and functionality. This means that the chassis and Host controller card provide a base level of functionality, while any specific functionality associated with a transcoder module is contained on the transcoder module itself. A good example of this is MPEG SI generation.

Home > SPR1100 Handbook > Appendices > Redundancy Modes > Redundancy Overview Redundancy Overview Redundancy Switching The Ericsson SPR1100 can provide chassis level and network level redundancy. Input Transport Stream Redundancy In the event of a network, failure, the Ericsson SPR1100 can gather its data from a different input. This can be the same content as the original Transport Stream, or different, at the operator's discretion. See the Transcode Input Redundancy section for more detail.
Home > SPR1100 Handbook > Appendices > Redundancy Modes > Control Network Redundancy Control Network Redundancy Overview The control network is assigned to the physical Ethernet ports Ctrl1 and Ctrl2. The lower number port of the pair is considered to be the primary port, and the other the spare. Operation If both ports have a link up, and the Control Port Selection is set toAutomatic Redundant, then the primary port will respond to network traffic, but the spare port will not.
Home > SPR1100 Handbook > Appendices > Redundancy Modes > Control Network Redundancy > Auto Revert Mode Auto Revert Delay If the control port selection = Automatic, then the Auto-Revert Delay defines the period for which the primary port must have resumed a link up state before it automatically becomes the active port. The Auto-Revert Delay period is set in the range 0 to 999 seconds, with 2 seconds being the default value.
Home > SPR1100 Handbook > Appendices > Redundancy Modes > Data Network Redundancy Data Network Redundancy Redundancy The Ericsson SPR1100 has two Ethernet data ports operating as paired outputs. These are designated Ge3 and Ge4. Each port may have a different IP address, MAC address, subnet mask and default gateway, providing output network redundancy. Only one port is active at any time, with the other port in "standby" mode. If the "active" interface should fail, the "standby" interface takes over.
Home > SPR1100 Handbook > Appendices > Redundancy Modes > 1+1 Multi-Unit Redundancy 1 + 1 Redundancy This section describes the behaviour and configuration of 1 + 1 Redundancy. Introduction Introduces the 1 + 1 Redundancy system, describes uses cases and behaviour. Configuration Describes the main features of 1 + 1 Redundancy configuration. Adding A Secondary Describes the steps required to add a Secondary unit to an existing Standalone configuration.
Home > SPR1100 Handbook > Appendices > Redundancy Modes > 1+1 Multi-Unit Redundancy > Introduction 1 + 1 Redundancy Introduction Overview 1 + 1 Redundancy allows a second unit to be configured as a redundant spare. A 1 + 1 Redundancy Group consists of a "Primary" unit and a "Secondary" unit. The configuration settings of each unit is automatically replicated to its peer. Each unit is expected to be connected to the same input and output networks.
the same on both units). The IP address that the peer has configured for "Peer IP Address". For a valid configuration the "Peer IP Address" setting on the other unit should refer to this unit's control IP address. Hardware configuration and software version numbers are also compared. If these do not match an alarm is raised, although the units continue to pair. If during the pairing process the peer unit cannot be successfully pinged for 30 seconds, then it is assumed that the peer is not available.
not replicated are IP address settings and 1 + 1 Redundancy configuration settings. It is recommended that the Primary unit web GUI is used the majority of the time, with the Secondary unit web GUI only used to configure settings unique to the Secondary unit. This includes using the Secondary unit web GUI to configure the 1 + 1 Redundancy settings. If a configuration change cannot be replicated on the peer (e.g.
Multicast Guard Protocol (MGP) If both units become Active, they will both be broadcasting the same multicast to the downstream equipment. This can happen if the control connection between the units is lost (the Secondary thinks the Primary has failed, so goes Active). To prevent this the MGP protection mechanism should be employed. It is recommended that MGP is always enabled when 1 + 1 Redundancy is in use to protect against this scenario.
Home > SPR1100 Handbook > Appendices > Redundancy Modes > 1+1 Multi-Unit Redundancy > Configuration 1 + 1 Redundancy Configuration Overview The 1 + 1 Redundancy configuration GUI allows configuration and control of a 1 + 1 Redundancy group.
These behave as elsewhere in the GUI. Action Buttons Action buttons fall into 2 categories. Manual configuration copy buttons perform a copy of all configuration settings from one unit to another unit. Any configurations on the unit that is being copied to will be overwritten and permanently lost. Box specific parameters, such as IP addresses and 1 + 1 Redundancy configuration settings are not copied. Care should always be taken to ensure that the copy is performed in the correct direction.
NOTE: The last update time can be set by either unit. If the clocks of the 2 units are not synchronised this could cause a time difference to show in this information. It is recommended that an SNTP server is used to synchronise the clocks on the 2 units. © Ericsson AB 2011.
Home > SPR1100 Handbook > Appendices > Redundancy Modes > 1+1 Multi-Unit Redundancy > Adding a Secondary Adding a Secondary to an existing Standalone configuration Overview This page describes the process that should be followed to add a Secondary backup unit to an existing Standalone system. 1. Create a backup of the Primary configuration settings just in case anything goes wrong. This can be done by clicking on "Configure", then "Save-Load", then right click on the link to save the configuration. 2.
Home > SPR1100 Handbook > Appendices > Redundancy Modes > 1+1 Multi-Unit Redundancy > Hints and Tips 1 + 1 Redundancy Hints and Tips This page provides a few hints and tips for using 1 + 1 redundancy. Enable MGP It is possible for the 1 + 1 Redundancy system to have both units Active. This can happen if the control connection between the units fails. In this case the secondary thinks the primary has failed, and becomes Active. This could cause duplicate multicast packets on the output data network.
and the Secondary "Last Updated" time on the Secondary web GUI. Once you have decided which unit has the correct configuration, you should use the corresponding button on the GUI to copy the configuration from that unit to the other unit. This will clear the alarm. Resolving "Conflicting Status" alarm This alarm indicates that the pairing process was not able to determine which unit should be active and which unit should be passive.
Home > SPR1100 Handbook > Appendices > IP Encapsulation of Transport Streams IP Encapsulation of Transport Streams Mapping of MPEG-2 TS Packets The mapping of MPEG-2 TS packets into IP data frames is done according to the protocol stack shown in the following illustration. MPEG Layer The MPEG-2/DVB layer is specified in ISO/IEC IS 13818 “Generic Coding of Moving Pictures and Associated Audio”.
RTP Layer The RTP layer is optional, and will add an 8-byte RTP header to the new packet. This header contains a sequence number and a time stamp. UDP Layer The UDP layer is according to RFC768 “User Datagram Protocol”. The user can control the target UDP port number for the MPEG-2 stream. A configurable number of 188-byte long MPEG-2 TS packets are mapped straight into an UDP frame with no additional overhead. The MTU for Ethernet is usually 1500 bytes.
Overhead factor Comments UDP 1324/1316 = 1.006 UDP header=8 bytes IP 1344/1324 = 1.015 IP header=20 bytes Ethernet 1358/1344 = 1.010 Eth header=14 bytes Total overhead factor becomes: 1.006 x 1.015 x 1.010 = 1.031 or 3.1% overhead. NOTE: The number of MPEG-2 TS packets one can map down into each UDP frame is variable (between 1 and 7). Usually 7 is used for minimum overhead. This is also used in the above calculation. © Ericsson AB 2011.
