IP Outputs Tab
The BRD is capable of doing ASI to IP turnaround, if it equipped with the optional IP Output
license (see the Admin License Keys Tab). The output streams can be sent using UDP or RTP,
and, if the unit has the SMPTE 2022 FEC license, it can also transmit a FEC stream.
The IP Output function is independent of the decoder source selection and is always available.
For example, the decoder may be displaying a stream received from Ethernet, and at the same
time transmitting an ASI stream over IP.
The IP Output function of the BRD has the following capabilities:
 Protocol support: UDP, RTP and SMPTE-2022 FEC (if licensed)
 Full transport transmission
 MPTS splitting into multiple SPTS streams
 NULL-padding of SPTS streams
 Support for up to 16 IP flows
 Transmission always uses the streaming Ethernet port
IP Outputs Configuration Tab
The IP Outputs configuration tab is depicted below. It contains 16 pre-defined IP output streams,
managed as follows:
 Stream 1 is always the full transport stream received from the ASI input.
 Streams 2 to 16 are SPTS streams, automatically pre-populated with the programs present
in the ASI input, in the order they appear in the PAT.
The most common settings and statistics for each stream are shown in the table below. Note that
changes in the table take effect immediately. The columns are:
 Program: This column shows the program number for the specific stream. The possible
values are:
o All: this will only be shown for Stream 1, to indicate that it is the full transport.
o 1 to 65535: these are program numbers, read from the PMT.
o None: this will be displayed for streams for which there are no available
programs. These streams can be configured, but will only actually transmit if the
transport changes and more programs appear.
 Enable: Checking this box enables transmission of a particular stream. This operation
will fail if the BRD does not have an IP Output license.
 Destination Address: Enter the desired destination IP address for the stream. Both
multicast and unicast are supported.
 UDP Port: Enter the desired UDP port for the stream.
 RTP: If this box is checked, the RTP protocol is used. If not checked, the UDP protocol
is used. Note that RTP requires that the UDP port be an even number. Checking this box
will change the UDP port to the next even number if it is an odd number.
