  • Page 12: Configuration

    Configuration Accessing Encoders in AMS It is recommended that the Atlona Management System (AMS) be used to configure and control OmniStream devices. AMS uses multicast Domain Name Server (mDNS) to automatically discover each encoder on the network. AMS is free and can be downloaded from https://www.atlona.com/ams. By default, encoders are set to DHCP mode, allowing a DHCP server (if present) to assign the encoder an IP address.
  • Page 13 Configuration 6. Click Devices from the fly-out menu. 7. Click the Unassigned option. 8. If the device isn’t immediately listed, click the left and right arrows, at the bottom of the Unassigned list, to scroll through all available devices. Arrow buttons AT-OMNI-111-WP...
  • Page 14 Configuration All available encoders will be displayed under the Unassigned category. When an encoder is unassigned, it means that it has not been assigned to a site, building, and/or room. Refer to the AMS User Manual for more information on these topics. If a DHCP server is not found within 60 seconds, the encoder will be placed in Auto IP mode and assigned an IP address within the range of 169.254.xxx.xxx.
  • Page 15 Configuration 11. Click SESSION in the top menu bar. 12. Locate the Video section. 13. Delete the value in the Destination Multicast / Unicast Address field. Destination Multicast/Unicast Address field 14. Locate the Audio section and delete the value in the Destination Multicast / Unicast Address field.

  • Page 16: Configuring A Static Ip Address

    Configuration Configuring a Static IP Address The following section is only required to when setting an encoder to a static IP address. If a DHCP server is not found within 60 seconds, encoders are automatically placed in Auto IP mode and will be assigned an IP address within the range 169.254.xxx.xxx.

  • Page 17: Input Selection

    Configuration Input Selection Once the OmniStream encoder is configured, and can be located on the network, the encoder will need to be instructed on how to handle source devices and to which stream each source is assigned. Input Selection 1. Under AMS, click INPUT in the menu bar. 2.

  • Page 18: Verifying The Input

    Configuration Verifying the Input 1. Click INPUT in the menu bar. Cable Present indicator 2. Check the Cable Present indicator. If a cable is connected from a source to an input on the encoder, then the indicator will be green. If no cable is connected, then the indicator will be red. Note that this indicator may also reflect the integrity of the cable: if the cable is bad or does not maintain a secure connection, then the Cable Present indicator may also be displayed as red.

  • Page 19: Session Configuration

    Configuration Session Configuration Once the inputs have been assigned to the desired source, the next step is to configure each session. A session is a class-D multicast IP address that is assigned to an AV stream. If each stream is configured for bit rates less than 450 Mbps (only recommended for 1080p and lower resolutions), a single Ethernet cable can transport two sessions.

  • Page 22: Unicast Mode

    Basic Operation Unicast Mode The term unicast is used to describe a configuration where information is sent from an encoder to a single decoder. Although it is common to have multiple encoder and decoder units within a system, it may also be desirable to restrict a single encoder to communicate with one decoder.
  • Page 23 Basic Operation 5. Go to the decoder AMS interface. Refer to the OmniStream Single-Channel / Dual Channel A/V Decoder User Manual, if necessary. 6. Click IP INPUT from the menu. 7. Remove the IP address from the Multicast Address field. 8.

  • Page 24: Multicast Mode

    Basic Operation Multicast Mode The term multicast is used to describe a configuration where information is sent from one or more points to a set of other points. For example, a single encoder can transmit data to multiple decoders. In addition, if multiple encoders are used, each encoder can stream data to any decoder that is not already receiving data from an encoder.

  • Page 26: 802.1X Authentication

    Advanced Operation 802.1X Authentication 802.1X is a server-based port authentication which restricts unauthorized (rogue) clients from connecting to a Local Area Network through a public port. In its simplest form, 802.1X usually involves three parties: supplicant (client device), authenticator (Ethernet switch or WAP), and an authentication server. Before the device is permitted on the network, port communication is restricted to Extensible Authentication Protocol over LAN (EAPOL) traffic.

  • Page 30: Edid Management

    Advanced Operation EDID Management OmniStream encoders provide EDID management for each input. The encoder can be assigned one of several included EDID presets or can be assigned a custom EDID. Raw EDID data can be copied from displays or other sink devices, that are connected to OmniStream decoders.
  • Page 31 Advanced Operation 6. Enter the EDID data in the Raw EDID field. EDID data can be copy and pasted from an EDID editor and must be in hexadecimal format. Commas or spaces can be included as delimiters to separate each hexadecimal value. 7.

  • Page 35: Encoder Grouping

    Advanced Operation Encoder Grouping Grouping encoders allows a group of encoders to feed a single decoder, simultaneously. The stream will be displayed by the decoder using either manual or automatic input-selection, based on the presence of a source signal. 1. Login to AMS. Refer to Accessing Encoders in AMS (page 12), if necessary.

  • Page 37: Scrambling

    Advanced Operation Scrambling OmniStream supports 128-bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) scrambling for both audio and video streams. Scrambling can be enabled or disabled through AMS, and can be individually applied to video, audio, or both. Scrambling can be enabled either before or after the decoding process is started. Data streams cannot be scrambled.

  • Page 38: Using The Virtual Matrix

    Advanced Operation Using the Virtual Matrix 1. Access the Virtual Matrix. Refer to The Virtual Matrix (page 60) for more information. 2. Locate the desired encoder or decoder. Scrambling is managed on the encoder; descrambling is managed on the decoder. 3.

  • Page 39: Setting The Video Mode

    Advanced Operation Setting the Video Mode OmniStream offers two video modes: Video and PC application. These two modes will optimize the video, based on the type of information that is being displayed. Use the Video mode when display motion graphics/video. Set this mode to PC application when viewing static images, such as spreadsheets or similar content.

  • Page 40: Slate / Logo Insertion

    Advanced Operation Slate / Logo Insertion Slate / logo insertion is managed from within AMS. The difference between a “slate” and “logo” is in the size of the image and how it is used: Logos are classified as smaller, low-resolution images that can be positioned at specified locations on the screen.
  • Page 41 Advanced Operation Image window group 8. Perform one of the following: • If the selected image will be used as a logo, then proceed with Steps 9 through 13. • If the image will be used as a slate, skip to Step 14. 9.

  • Page 65: Fec Details

    Appendix FEC Details Matrix Size, Overhead, and Latency • FEC can only work if a single packet from each row/column is missing. Multiple packets missing from each row/ column will cause FEC to fail. • Due to the above, a smaller matrix is more robust, as there is a better chance of errors not occurring in the same row/column.

  • Page 66: Fec, Latency, And Lip Sync

    Appendix FEC, Latency, and Lip Sync • In order for FEC to work, the matrix must be filled in order to calculate the FEC packets. This introduces some additional latency. Due to high bitrates, this is not noticeable for video, but can be very significant for audio. Therefore, Atlona recommends either leaving FEC disabled for audio or using a very small matrix.
