CHAPTER 1: GUI ENVIRONMENT
VersAtive®Pro Enhanced – Operation Manual 1-1
GENERAL CONFIGURATION
1. GUI Environment
The GUI is the Management Interface (Graphical User Interface) used to manage the VersAtive®Pro transcoder which will be
referred to as Device.
1.1 Chapter Contents
• “Switch and Firewall Port Opening”
• “Preview”
• “Launch the GUI and Log in”
• “Conguring the Device - Quick Summary”
• “The GUI”
• “Application Terminology”
• “Device Menu & Tool Bar”
• “Resource Menu & Tool Bar”
• ”Copy & Paste”
1.2 Switch and Firewall Port Opening
NOTE: Any Management Switch used between Devices and the Management Computer will
require the following ports to be opened both Inbound and Outbound.
Port Number Transport Protocol Description
80 TCP RTMP,
RTMPT,
HTTP
File Upload (Licence, VersAtive Software) By default, Flash Player clients
make RTMP connections over port 1935 using TCP.
To communicate over the RTMP protocol, clients attempt to connect to ports
in the following order: 1935, 80 (RTMP), 80 (RTMPT).
8080 TCP HTTP HTTP Communications
8111 TCP Communication
8112 UDP Communications
8113 UDP Messaging
8118 Communications
1935 TCP RTMP/E Adobe® Flash® (Previewing, Monitoring) Flash Media Server listens for
RTMP/E requests on port 1935/TCP. Clients attempt to connect over ports
in the following order: 1935, 80 (RTMP), 80 (RTMPT).
1935 UDP RTMFP Adobe Flash (Previewing, Monitoring) Flash Media Server listens for RTMFP
requests on port 1935/UDP
8443 TCP HTTPS HTTPS Communications
1.2.1 Notes on Opening Fire Wall Port 1935 for Monitoring
Some rewalls reject trafc that doesn’t use the HTTP protocol. This behavior can prevent communication over RTMP even
if port 1935 is open. Consult the documentation for the rewall to determine how to congure it to allow RTMP trafc. To use
RTMP and RTMFP, any switch or rewall between the server and clients must allow inbound and outbound trafc on port 1935.
If it is not possible to open port 1935 inbound and outbound then monitoring will not work. In this case it is best to disable
monitoring altogether within the GUI, see Figure 6-5.
The resource contains both the actual publish and the preview. When the preview can not connect the whole pipeline of the
stream will stop and retry and not publish. The events log will report “Cannot connect to RTMP server”. The resource will show
“Resource is retrying” at the events tab. Disabling ‘Preview’ will prevent events from being detected when the streams cannot
connect during monitoring.

CHAPTER 1: GUI ENVIRONMENT
VersAtive®Pro Enhanced – Operation Manual 1-3
The resource will be an Ethernet IP stream address to which the Device subscribes (Devices may
have multiple physical Ethernet ports on which Resources may be present).
• Create SPTS Streams
The Stream denes the resolution, bitrate, audio codec, and CBR/VBR for the stream. Multiple
streams may be added to the Resource.
• Create Publish Points
The Publish denes the output protocol, the output IP address and interface. Multiple Publish Points
may be added to the stream.
• Start Transcoding from the Resource icon.
1.6 The GUI
The GUI is based on a familiar Tree and Tabbed Pane design, Figure 1-3. The main parts are:
1. Tree View of Managed Elements.
2. Pane View of the Selected Element.
3. Tool Bar.
4. Context Sensitive Right Click Menu.
5. Tree View Search Tool.
6. Details View for Selected Element.
7. Alarms Notication Panel.
8. Events Notication Panel.
Managed Elements are displayed in their relationships to each other in the Tree View, see Figure 1-3, and details pertaining
to the elements are displayed in the Pane View when the element is selected. Further details about the selected element and
conguration dialogs are accessed within the Pane View with Navigation Tabs.

1.7 Application Terminology
A review of the application terminology used in the GUI and transcoding application:
1. Resource
The external video and/or audio source content stream available to the Input Ethernet Ports.
2. SPTS Stream
The SPTS Stream denes the resolution, bitrate (constant or variable), and audio codec.
3. Publish
The Publish denes the output protocol, the output IP Address and Physical Interface.
1.8 Device Menu & Tool Bar
Device Conguration options are available on both the Right Click menu and the Tool Bar. To access these menus, right click
on the Device Icon (VersAtive is the Device name in this example but you may rename it) Figure 1-4.
1. Add Eth Resource
Add to this Device an Ethernet Resource for receiving content.
2. Add Capture Resource
Not used on this VersAtive Device
3. Export Resources
Saves a backup copy of the resource parameters to a le or series of les. Allows selection of any or
all of the created resources which include any SPTS streams and their publish points.
4. Import Resources
Import or restore resources from a le saved earlier.
5. Reboot VersAtive
Reboots the server.
6. Delete all Resources
May be used to stop all resources simultaneously. (Resources may also be stopped individually from
the resource itself).
7. Start all Resources
Starts all created Resources with a single command.
8. Re-start all Resources
Stops then re-starts all created Resources with a single command.
9. Stop All Resources
May be used to stop all resources simultaneously. (Resources may also be stopped individually from
the resource itself).
10. Disable
Disables the Device Platform.

1.9 Resource Menu & Tool Bar
Resource operations are available on both the Right Click menu and the Tool Bar, Figure 1-5. To access these menus, right
click on any resource.
1. Start
Starts the individual streams created on the selected resource.
2. Delete
Deletes the selected Resource.
3. New SPTS Stream
Used to create SPTS streams for IPTV applications.
4. Export Resource
Saves a backup copy of the individual resource parameters to a le. Automatically assigns a unique
name to identify the resource it represents.
5. Record
Saves a copy of 30 seconds of the TS stream and allows saving the stream le for ofine analysis or
play. Includes audio and video.
6. Preview
A powerful feature used to open a low resolution thumbnail picture for viewing the incoming stream.
Each resource may be enabled for preview individually during setup. For more information on this
feature see “6.3 Preview or Monitor Resources” on page 6-3.
7. Copy(Paste)
A feature used along with the Paste feature under the Device to quickly replicate Resources. Will
copy all streams created on the selected resource. Renames the copy of everything with unique
names which may require editing for better clarity.
8. Disable
Disables the resource. Once disabled, the menu item changes to Enable. This feature is useful
when you will be creating a copied resource with the same conguration. The user can disable and
enable resources to avoid conicted output congurations since VMS will not allow two resources
with conicts.

1.10 Copy & Paste
This section shows a few examples of copying and pasting to replicate Resources, Streams and Publish Points in the Tree
View. Once a Resource and it’s related Streams and Publishes are dened, the Streams and Publishes or the entire Resource
may be replicated any number of times in any location in the Tree View. All pasted objects represent exact images of the
copied source and will require some editing to avoid duplication within the Device. The process is the same for all Copy &
Paste operations whether Streams or Publish Points are being copied.
1.10.1 Copy & Paste Streams
1. Select the Donor Resource with an SPTS Stream and Publish Points that it is desired to replicate, Figure 1-6.
2. Create a Recipient Resource that will have Streams copied to it.
3. Right click the Stream on the Donor Resource and select Copy from the menu, Figure 1-7.
