1.280 Haivision-Makito-X-Decoder

This page describes the device driver and the device window for the Haivison Makito-X IP/SRT Quad Decoder device. It supports RTP/UDP and SRT inputs.

The driver handles each decoder as a single device. For each additional decoder another device is needed. Desired Stream inputs can be selected via setup page.

Additional the used decoding instance can be configured/selected via setup choice decoder

The driver was tested with the following sw releases:

• 1.4.0-104

Known issue: with the tested version there are no valid ip/ts input statistics when using UDP protocol.

Device window pages

The following table shows which device window pages are available with this individual device type. Tool-bar functions not mentioned here are described at the general description of device windows .

• --- Contains the IP input parameter settings and the operation control.
• --- Contains video output parameters and statistics from the TS stream as well as some general video settings.
• --- Contains audio output parameters from the TS stream.
• --- The faults page.
• --- The device info page.
• --- The maintenance page. The configuration parameters described below are set at this page.

Configuration parameters

At the maintenance page of the device window there are a couple of configuration parameters which must be set to make the software talk to the unit.

• parameter --- description

• address --- The SNMP address specification for the device. The full address specification consists of the following fields:aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd:pppp read-community write-community

  • aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd --- The IP address of the device in 'dotted quad' notation. This field is mandatory.
  • pppp --- The IP port number where the device accepts SNMP requests. The port number may be omitted, the driver uses the standard port 161 in this case.
  • read-community --- The SNMP read community name. This must match the read community expected by the device.
  • write-community --- The SNMP write community name. This must match the write community expected by the device. The write community name may be omitted, the driver uses the read community name for both, read and write in this case. If both community names are missing, the driver uses 'public' as a default for read and write community.

• readBackDelay --- Defines the delay the driver uses when it reads back parameters recently commanded. The delay is initialized at a proved preset value which should not be changed under normal circumstances.

• streamName --- Defines the selected output for this device from the list of available outputs.

• decoder --- Defines the used decoder for this device from the predefined list.

• deviceComment --- An optional text entered here appears as an addition to the tooltip which is shown while the mouse is placed over a device icon in the GUI. The "\n" character sequence is translated into a newline character, splitting the text into multiple lines.
