Setting up a SMPTE 2110 input without NMOS - AWS Elemental Live

Setting up a SMPTE 2110 input without NMOS

Follow this procedure if you have a SMPTE 2110 source and your organization doesn't use NMOS IS-04 and IS-05.

Note

This section assumes that you have read Working with SMPTE 2110 and are familiar with how SMPTE 2110 works and with its prerequisites.

When your organization doesn't use NMOS, you must provide information about the SDP that applies to this source, so that Elemental Live can extract content correctly. For example, you must specify where the SDP file for the video is located, and identify the specific video streams to ingest. In addition, if you are using seamless protection switching, you must configure two interfaces for traffic.

Elemental Live supports ingest of SMPTE 2110 sources that implement SMPTE 2022-7. In this case, you can configure the input to ingest one or both instances of the source.

Note

The information in this section assumes that you are familiar with the general steps for creating an event.

To set up a SMPTE 2110 input

  1. From the Input menu in your event, select SMPTE 2110 Input.

  2. In Video SDP Location, enter the location of the SDP file for the video. For example:

    http://172.18.8.19/curling_video.sdp

    For more information about SDP files, see About SDP files.

  3. In Media Index, enter the index of the video stream that you want Elemental Live to extract. For example, enter 0 if the video is the first stream, 1 if it's the second stream, and so on.

  4. Complete the Interface fields in one of these ways:

    • If there are two instances of the source (meaning that the source implements SMPTE 2022-7) and you want to ingest both sources, complete both Interface fields.

    • If you want to ingest only one source, or if there is only one source, complete only one Interface field.

    In either case, choose the interface carefully. In Elemental Live, network interfaces are shared across events. Be careful not to overload the capacity of an interface.

  5. Complete the audio fields in the same way – Audio SDP Location, Media Index, and Interface fields.

    Keep in mind that you can support SMPTE 2022-7 for some streams and not for others.

  6. If the source includes an ancillary data stream, choose Add Ancillary SDP +. Complete the Ancillary SDP Location, Media Index, and Interface fields.
