5. Choosing the configuration tool

Managing the growing complexity of broadcast systems is time-consuming and expensive, challenging a company’s strategic objectives of reducing total cost of ownership (TCO). Part of this complexity comes from a growing and diverse set of tools required to manage a heterogeneous infrastructure including servers, switches, encoders, decoders and storage solutions. The Kyrion broadcast encoder can help you automate and simplify your overall system architecture. The Kyrion includes advanced management capabilities including automated deployment, lights-out administration and a unified interface for managing multiple devices. These tools help you manage the underlying complexity of your system architecture, improve productivity, and lower TCO. There are 2 different ways to configure your Kyrion: Front Panel access and Web based interface. Choose the appropriate one depending on your overall system’s design.

5.1. LCD Panel and Roller TouchPAD

The Kyrion family has a local LCD panel & Roller TouchPAD interface allowing easy management of the unit, for testing or production purposes. The LCD panel provides a simple method of setting the network interface addresses and default gateway parameters directly from the front of the Kyrion System without using a management computer. No IT knowledge is required; the Kyrion can be up and running in minutes, encoding live video with high picture quality and optimal compression ratios.

5.2. Web Based Configuration

The Kyrion family web-based interface is a unified, crystal clear management tool for your Kyrion. This tool targets people ranging from simple users, who want a unified interface, to advanced users, who need detailed access to Encoding parameters. Requirements:

� Ethernet connection between the Kyrion and a remote management computer.

� Any browser on the remote management computer.

The Kyrion Encoder provides two ways to set the encoder by Web or by using the front panel. The "Roller TouchPAD" offers a sensitive surface which is able to detect movement and pressure. By using the Roller PAD, you can easily navigate through the menu displayed on the LCD panel and select options or values by using the “Accept” and “Cancel” buttons. Using this interface, it is simple to configure IP addresses, default gateways and basic Encoding settings without having to use the web-based manager or SNMP supervisor.

6.1.1. Menu Navigation

The Roller TouchPAD allows for navigation, selection, and changing of values through a circular finger motion. To increase a value or scroll up a menu, move your finger clockwise. To decrease a value or scroll down a menu, move your finger counter-clockwise. To increase or move the selection, use a circular left to right movement. To decrease or move the selection, use a circular right to left movement. To navigate through the different menus, use the Roller TouchPAD. When you’ve highlighted an icon, accept or cancel activation by touching the ACCEPT or CANCEL button icon.

• The ACCEPT button allows validation or sub menu navigation.

6.2. Web-based Manager

The Kyrion includes an embedded web server that provides management through a universal interface that is accessible from anywhere on the network. The graphical Web based interface features the following:

� Display of the Kyrion’s physical condition: Temperature, fan speeds and other environmental parameters of the chassis are all logged in an easy-to-read format allowing for a quick assessment of the system working order.

� Lower control monitoring: You can reboot the system by remote control. � Easy Configuration management: You can save up to 10 ‘Configuration’

files with clear names and re-use them after reboot. � On the fly changes on Video/Audio parameters: You can set new

parameters on-the-fly. The Kyrion will stop and re-start encoding without the need for you to manually perform the action.

� Advanced parameters handling: The Web interface allows you to control the Filters (3:2 pulldown, aspect ratio, gains, delay, resizing, re-sampling,…) on both Audio and Video

� Muxer Service configuration: Use and create services with PIDs, � Encoder Advanced tuning options: Profile, rate control, bitrate, GOP, CPB

size, Look ahead, deblocking, entropy, B-frame, Psycho-visual enhancement, copyright flag insertion, etc…

To connect the Kyrion system interface to a management computer through the Ethernet connection:

� Use a cross-over Ethernet cable to connect the devices directly. � Use straight through Ethernet cables to connect the devices through a hub or

switch. Configure both the management computer and Kyrionto be on the same subnet. To do this, two solutions are possible:

� Change the IP address of the management computer to 192.168.128.2 (for example) and the netmask to 255.255.255.0

or � Change the Kyrion network parameters to match your network architecture.

Since you are not starting on the same sub-nets, you must use the front panel interface at first boot. Note: To access the Kyrion web-based manager, start any Web browser and browse to http://192.168.128.1 This is the Factory default IP address of the MGT port.

7. Completing the configuration

Congratulations!

You have finished learning the basic settings. You are now ready to manage Kyrion

encoders.

8. Troubleshooting

8.1. Case 1: Problem with an Update package

When Updating the Package, the Kyrion reboots but the revision number remains the same. This can occur when the lithium battery of the Kyrion is empty or if the BIOS as been accidentally lost. In that situation, the system date is reset at boot to year 2000 and the package date is tagged as invalid by the device. If this is the case, you can verify the problem by checking the Log messages on the Status page. To solve this issue, you have 2 solutions. First solution:

� Activate the NTP synchronization in the System Tab or force the time and date of the system by manually inputting the correct value.

� Restart the Encoder in order to get an entry in the Log file, to be sure that the NTP server as been reached or that your manual adjustment has been taken into account. The Log should display the correct date.

� After 1 minute, the update should start automatically. o If it doesn’t, go to the System page and perform the update again.

Second solution:

� Contact your dealer to receive a replacement Lithium battery for the Kyrion.

Glossary

Packet A packet is the basic unit of data in a transport stream. It consists of a sync byte, whose value is 0x47, followed by three one-bit flags and a 13-bit PID. This is followed by a 4-bit continuity counter. Additional optional transport fields, as signalled in the optional adaptation field, may follow. The rest of the packet consists of payload. Packets are most often 188 bytes in length, but some transport streams consist of 204-byte packets which end in 16 bytes of Reed-Solomon error correction data. The 188-byte packet size was originally chosen for compatibility with ATM systems[1].

PID Each table or elementary stream in a transport stream is identified by a 13-bit PID. A demultiplexer extracts elementary streams from the transport stream in part by looking for packets identified by the same PID. In most applications, Time-division multiplexing will be used to decide how often a particular PID appears in the transport stream.

Programs Transport stream has a concept of programs, which are groups of one or more PIDs that are related to each other. For instance, a transport stream used in digital television might contain three programs, to represent three television channels. Suppose each channel consists of one video stream, one or two audio streams, and any necessary metadata. A receiver wishing to tune to a particular "channel" merely has to decode the payload of the PIDs associated with its program. It can discard the contents of all other PIDs. PAT PAT stands for Program Association Table. The PAT lists PIDs for all PMTs in the stream. Packets containing PAT information always have PID 0x0.

PMT Program Map Tables, or PMTs, contain information about programs. For each program, there is a PMT, with the PMT for each program appearing on its own PID. The PMTs describe which PIDs contain data relevant to the program. PMTs also provide metadata about the streams in their constituent PIDs. For example, if a program contains an MPEG-2 video stream, the PMT will list this PID, describe it as a video stream, and provide the type of video that it contains (in this case, MPEG-2). The PMT may also contain additional descriptors providing data about its constituent streams.

PCR To assist the decoder in presenting programs on time, at the right speed, and with synchronization, programs usually periodically provide a Program Clock Reference, or PCR, on one of the PIDs in the program.

Null packets Some transmission schemes, such as those in ATSC and DVB, impose strict constant bitrate requirements on the transport stream. In order to ensure that the stream maintains a constant bitrate, a Multiplexer may need to insert some additional packets. The PID 0x1FFF is reserved for this purpose. The payload of null packets may contain any data at all, and the receiver is expected to ignore its contents

MIB Management information basestems from the OSI/ISONetwork management model and is a type of database used to manage the devices in a communications network. It comprises a collection of objects in a (virtual) database used to manage entities (such as routers and switches) in a network. Objects in the MIB are defined using a subset of Abstract Syntax Notation One (ASN.1) called "Structure of Management Information Version 2 (SMIv2)" RFC 2578.The software that performs the parsing is an MIB compiler.

The database is hierarchical (tree structured) and entries are addressed through object identifiers. Internet documentation RFCs discuss MIBs, notably RFC 1155, "Structure and Identification of Management Information for TCP/IP based internets", and its two companions, RFC 1213, "Management Information Base for Network Management of TCP/IP-based internets", and RFC 1157, "A Simple Network Management Protocol". SNMP: SNMP, a communication protocol between management stations (consoles, for example) and managed objects, (such as routers, gateways, and switches) makes use of MIBs. Components controlled by the management console need a so-called SNMP agent -- a software module that can communicate with the SNMP manager. SNMP uses a specified set of commands and queries. An MIB should contain information on these commands and on the target objects (controllable entities or potential sources of status information) with a view to tuning the network transport to the current needs. Group of pictures (GOP) In MPEG video encoding, a group of pictures, or GOP, specifies the order in which intra-frames and inter-frames are arranged. The GOP is a group of successive pictures within an MPEG-coded film and/or video stream. Each MPEG-coded film and/or video stream consists of successive GOPs. From the MPEG pictures contained in it the visible frames are generated. A GOP can contain the following picture types: I-picture and/or I-Frame (English intra coded picture) reference picture, corresponds to a fixed image and is independent of other picture types. Each GOP begins with this type of picture. P-picture and/or P-Frame (English predictive coded picture) contains difference information from the preceding i or P-Frame. B-picture and/or B-Frame (English bidirectionally predictive coded pictures) contains difference information from the preceding and/or following i or P-Frame. D-picture and/or D-Frame (English DC direct coded picture) serves the fast advance. A GOP always begins with an I-Frame. Afterwards several P-Frames follow, in each case with some frames distance. In the remaining gaps are B-Frames. With the next I-Frame a new GOP begins. 3:2 pulldown The process of converting 24 frame/s material to 29.97 frame/s is known as 3:2 pulldown. The term “pulldown” comes from the mechanical process of “pulling” the film down to advance it from one frame to the next at a repetitive rate (nominally 24 fps). This is accomplished in two steps. The first step is to slow down the film motion by 1/1.001. This speed change is unnoticeable to the viewer, and makes the film travel at 23.976 frame/s.

The second step of the 3:2 pulldown is the 3:2 (or 2:3, see below) step. At 23.976 frame/s, there are four frames of film for every five frames of NTSC video: These four frames are “stretched” into five by exploiting the interlaced nature of NTSC video. For every NTSC frame, there are actually two complete images or fields, one for the odd-numbered lines of the image, and one for the even-numbered lines. There are, therefore, ten fields for every 4 film frames, and the telecine alternately places one film frame across two fields, the next across three, the next across two, and so on.

The cycle repeats itself completely after four film frames have been exposed. In the telecine cycle these are referred to as the A, B, C, and D frames:

Note that the pattern in this example is actually 2–3. A 3–2 pattern is identical to this except that it is shifted by one frame. For instance, starting with film frame B, followed by frame C, yields a 3–2 pattern (B-B-B-C-C). In other words, there is no difference between the two — it is only a matter of reference. The above method is a "classic" 3:2, which was used before frame buffers allowed for holding more than one frame. The preferred method for doing a 3:2, creates only one dirty frame in every 5, while this method has a slight bit more judder, it allows for easier up conversion, and a better overall compression when encoding. Display frame 1 and 2 for two fields each, and then frame 3 for three fields, and frame 4 for 3 fields. Honoring the original spatial placement of the fields. This results in Frame 4 of the new 5 frames being dirty.
