Operation Manual

The button does not affect the following areas:
 The settings in the Network tab are not changed.
 The settings in the Admin General tab are not changed.
 Saved configurations are not modified in any way.
Dashboard will take a few seconds to reload (longer if you are accessing over a wide-area
network), but the actual configuration in the BRD is virtually instantaneous. The Status Message
Area will indicate the result of the operation.
Admin License Keys Tab
The BRD has a number of optional licensable features. The Admin License Keys Tab is used to
manage these features. Using this tab, you can see how many licenses you have for each
optional feature, and how many you are currently using.
The BRD has the concept of a temporary license. If you want to try out a certain feature, contact
Niagara Video. You will receive a license key that enables that feature for a specific period of
running time (license time does not “count” when the device is off).
The Admin License Keys Tab includes a License Status table, and a configuration area, as shown
below. The table rows are license counts, and the columns correspond to different licensable
features. The rows are:
 Permanent Licenses: This is the number of non-expiring licenses for each feature.
 Temporary Licenses: This is the number of temporary licenses for each feature. Once
the license period expires, they are removed.
 Total Licenses: This is the total number of licenses for each feature.
 Used Licenses: This is the number of licenses in use for each feature by the current card
configuration.
If you have temporary licenses, the Time Remaining field indicates how long until they expire.
If you do not have temporary licenses, this field has the message “No active temporary licenses”.
The table columns correspond to the licensable features, as follows:
 IP Protocols: This field indicates whether or not the BRD is licensed to accept content
on its Ethernet port. Without this license, the unit will only decode from ASI.
 Dolby Decoding: This field indicates whether the unit is licensed to decode Dolby
AC3/EAC3 audio. Without this license, if the BRD is presented with a stream with
Dolby, no audio decoding will be performed.
 Genlock: This field indicates whether or not the unit is licensed for output genlock.
 SMPTE 2022 FEC: This field indicates whether the unit is licensed to decode or
generate SMPTE 2022 FEC. Without this license, the unit will still decode the RTP flow
containing the bitstream, but will ignore the SMPTE 2022 FEC packets.
