Ethernet port configuration
Each of the two Ethernet connectors can be configured individually to either reside on the
same subnet or support video streams from two different subnets. The capabilities of the
card are split between the two connectors so that only 2 1080p @ 60 Hz streams or 14
SD streams can be decoded per subnet group if the Ethernet ports are configured to be
on different subnets.
NOTE: Only unicast streams, or multicast streams addressed using ONVIF, SAP,
RTSP, or HTTP, are supported when using multiple subnets.
The network settings of each port can be configured via VCS (see the VCS Help File for
instructions). The following settings are available:
Ethernet port settings:
•
IP Address
•
Gateway IP Address
•
Subnet Mask
•
DHCP mode
•
DNS Sever Address
The default network setting for the two ports is DHCP enabled, which allows quick
connectivity to an existing IP video system.
Streaming methods
The IN SMD 100 input card supports the following streaming methods provided by the
Extron SME 100, Extron SMP 351, and 3rd party encoders:
UDP-TS (Push) — Single program MPEG-2 Transport stream (SPTS), multicast only.
•
•
RTP (Push) — Native (elementary video streams), multicast only. Single program
MPEG-2 Transport stream (SPTS) (RTP-TS), multicast only.
•
RTP/RTSP unicast or multicast (Pull) — RTP and RTSP interleaved over a UDP
connection.
Unicast RTP over RTSP (RTP and RTSP interleaved over TCP) (Pull) — Used for
•
on-demand video in which RTP is interleaved with RTSP over a TCP connection to
navigate fire walls that block UDP.
Unicast RTP over RTSP over HTTP (RTP and RTSP interleaved over TCP on
•
port 80) (Pull) — Used where RTP is interleaved with RTSP over HTTP, to navigate
fire walls that allow HTTP (ports 80 or 8080 are open).
Streaming container format
The IN SMD 100 card supports the MPEG2 Transport stream (including .ts, .m2ts, and
.m2t file extensions) container format.
