Operation Manual

o Flip Redundancy: if this button is clicked, the BRD will manually flip to the other

stream (i.e., if it is receiving from the primary, it will go to the backup, or vice-versa).

 Reset Network Statistics button: when clicked, this button causes the UDP/RTP

statistics shown in the Network Tab on the Statistics area to be cleared. This is useful to

manage network performance (i.e., packet loss) from a known state.

The BRD will automatically detect UDP/RTP/SMPTE-2022 FEC (if licensed).

HLS Stream

In this mode, the decoder can access and play a stream from a web server with an HTTP Live

Streaming service. Access to the server can be either from the control or streaming ports. The

configuration parameters are:

 HLS URL: Enter a valid HLS URL. The URL must start with http:// or https:// and

must end with either .m3u or .m3u8. In order to use a server name instead of an IP

address, the decoder must have at least one DNS server configured and accessible. DNS

servers can be specified in the Network Configuration Tab, or, for the GOSTREAM

BRDc stand-alone unit, also in the Control Port Configuration Tab or obtained by DHCP.

 Restart HLS Playback: HLS content in the server may be a continuously-running live

stream or a VOD stream. If it is a VOD stream, the decoder will stop at the end of the

stream. Clicking on this button makes it play it again. The type of stream (Live or VOD)

is reported in the Network Tab in the Statistics area.

RTMP Client

In this mode, the decoder can access and play a Flash stream from an RTMP Server such as the

Adobe Media Server or similar. Note that not all Flash streams are supported. The BRD will

only support the following types of streams:

 Video Compression: H.264

 Audio Compression: MPEG-1 Layer III or AAC-LC.

An RTMP access point is defined by the following:

 An RTMP URL, of the form:

rtmp[t][e][s]://servername/app
