  • Page 7: Introduction

    Introduction The Atlona AT-OMNI-111-WP is a networked AV encoder for HDMI sources up to 4K/UHD and HDR (High Dynamic Range), plus embedded audio. It features a US two-gang, wallplate form factor, and includes interchangeable black and white wallplates and faceplates. OmniStream is designed for high performance, flexible distribution of AV over standard, off-the-shelf Gigabit Ethernet switches in commercial audiovisual applications.

  • Page 8: Introduction To Omnistream

    Introduction to OmniStream OmniStream 101 OmniStream products are similar in principle to matrix switch endpoints: A/V signals are sent from one point (transmitter) to another point (receiver) over category cable. However, OmniStream stands apart from matrix switchers, in that it is an IP-based solution, allowing this data to be sent over a standard IP network. In addition, these endpoints are referred to as encoders and decoders.

  • Page 9: Network Bandwidth And Omnistream Compression

    Introduction to OmniStream Network Bandwidth and OmniStream Compression When sending video and audio over a network, the available bandwidth needs to be managed. Gigabit Ethernet switches are very common and can take advantage of installed Category 5e cable. 10-Gigabit Ethernet switches are available, but are more expensive per port and require Category 6A cable or better.

  • Page 10: Subscribing To A Stream

    Introduction to OmniStream Subscribing to a Stream To receive information from an encoder, the decoder must subscribe to the multicast IP address and UDP port of the stream(s). Note that the decoder does not subscribe to the session, but to the stream(s) within the session. The process of subscribing is similar to changing the channel on a Set-Top Box.

  • Page 11: Encoder Naming Schema

    Introduction to OmniStream DEFINITIONS Stream – Describes the video, audio, or any data that is transmitted from an encoder over the network. Multicast IP Address – A class-D IP address assigned to a stream. UDP Port – User Datagram Protocol (UDP) port. Part of the network addressing scheme to send and receive data to the proper destination on a network.

  • Page 71: Configuring A Static Ip Address

    Device Operation Configuring a Static IP Address There will be situations where it is desirable for the encoder to be assigned a static IP address. Some IT environments prefer this method, as opposed to having a DHCP server dynamically assign IP addresses. If the encoder is unable to detect a DHCP server within 15 seconds, then Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) will be used to assign the encoder an address within the IPv4 address block 169.254.xxx.xxx/16.

  • Page 72: 802.1X Authentication

    Device Operation 802.1X Authentication 802.1X is a server-based port authentication which restricts unauthorized (rogue) clients from connecting to a Local Area Network. 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 73 Device Operation 1. Login to the encoder and click the NETWORK menu. 2. Click the 802.1x > Mode drop-down list, at the bottom of the Network window group and select the desired authentication method. In the example below, PEAP/MSCHAPv2 is selected.

MAC address Displays the MAC address of the Ethernet interface. Telnet Enable Click this toggle switch to enable or disable Telnet. If disabled, then Telnet sessions to the encoder cannot be established.

  • Page 97: Ptp Page

    Configuration and Management Interfaces PTP page The PTP page provides options for adjust Precision Time Protocol (PTP) for AES67 audio streams. PTP is used by AES67 to keep all audio streams synchronized. For a system utilizing PTP, all devices undergo an automatic self-election process to choose the device to be used as the PTP grandmaster (GM) clock, based on the accuracy of the device’s clock and the device’s configured priority.
  • Page 98 Configuration and Management Interfaces Displays the TTL value. The default IPV4 TTL value used for PTP is 8. Is GM If the indicator is green, then this interface is the PTP GM. GM Identity The grandmaster clock identity. Master Offset Displays the grandmaster clock offset.

  • Page 107 Appendix If the test fails, it could be that less than 100% of packets are received, indicating connectivity, but with some amount of packet loss. If it shows “No one replied!” or if the target decoder is not shown in results, it could indicate that there is a connectivity issue or that the decoder is not subscribed to the correct video multicast address.

  • Page 108: 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 109: 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.

    Appendix Differentiated Services Code Point Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) is a method of managing network traffic, in addition to providing Quality of Service (QoS) within the Layer-3 (Network Layer) of the OSI network model. DSCP uses the 6-bit Differentiated Services (DS) field in the IP header in order to determine packet classification/priority.
