3 Hardware Installation
The potentiometers on the card are factory set and should not be adjusted. There are no
user-selectable links.
The app based MARBLE-V1 cards are intended for use only in the Crystal Vision ‘Vision’
frame range and not in older style frames such as ‘Indigo’.
Insert the card by pushing the white handle on the card edge, being careful to ensure the card
is inside the guide rails. Remove it by pulling the metal hook. Do not force the card if
resistance is met as the card may not be correctly aligned with the rear connectors.
Ensure that the Vision frame has the correct rear module fitted. Only the VR04, VR05 and
VR06 rear modules offer the correct input/output functionality for the video over IP apps.
The cards and rear modules can be inserted and removed without powering down the frame.

4 I/O Configuration
VisionWeb web browser control software is recommended for the configuration of the video
over IP apps. This is achieved by entering the IP address of the frame into a web browser
(10.0.0.201 on Ethernet port 1 of the frame by default). See the Vision 3 frame manual for
more information on VisionWeb and frame configuration and operation.
Example ‘VisionWeb’ homepage
4.1 Configuring the Ethernet Interfaces
MARBLE-V1 ST 2022 and ST 2110 video over IP flows are received and transmitted using
the VR04, VR05 and VR06 10GbE network interface connections. VR06 provides two
network interfaces while the VR04 and VR05 provide four. A typical usage case is to use Eth
1 interface for the ‘primary’ IP traffic and Eth 2 for the ‘protect’. The additional Eth 3 and 4
interfaces on the VR04 and VR05 allow input flows to be separated from output flows.
Within each Ethernet interface there are six virtual interfaces. These are useful for software
apps which process six individual IP flows, such as the IP gateways, as each flow can be
assigned to its own unique IP address.

4.3 Select IP I/O Protocol
The M-GW IP Gateways support uncompressed video over IP protocols ST 2022 and ST
2110-20. It is possible to mix protocols; IP inputs and outputs can be a mixture of ST 2022
and ST 2110-20. M-GWIPIP-6 supports protocol translation. For example, a ST 2022 input
can be output as ST 2110-20.
Once the inputs and outputs have been enabled, the required protocol can be selected using
the drop down menus within Input and Output control tabs. The protocol type will need
selecting for each input and output.

4.4 Transmitting an IP Flow
The M-GWSDIIP-6 and M-GWIPIP-6 apps are capable of transmitting up to six HD/SD-SDI or
three 3G-SDI IP flows. These can be transmitted on a single 10GbE network interface or split
between additional interfaces located on the rear connector.
The following example shows an M-GWSDIIP-6 configured to transmit Input 1 to Output 1
using SMPTE ST 2022-7 protocol. When selecting ST 2022-7 it is necessary to configure
both the ‘Network Out’ and ‘Protect Network Out’. For maximum redundancy it is
recommended to output ‘primary’ and ‘protect’ flows to two different network interfaces e.g.
Interface 1 and 2 on M-GWSDIIP-6 and M-GWIPIP-6.

M-GWSDIIP-6/M-GWIPIP-6 Output 1 Net Out
The controls highlighted in the above configuration show Output 1 of the M-GWSDIIP-6
routing Input 1 to Ethernet Interface 1:1 and 2:1 using SMPTE ST 2022-7 protocol. In this
example multicast destination addresses are being used for the main and protected flows
which, if required, could be replaced by single point unicast addresses.
M-GWIPIP-6 provides the same Net Out controls as M-GWSDIIP-6.
IP output flow transmission supports both Block Packing Mode (BPM) and General Packing
Mode (GPM) for ST 2110-20 encapsulation. BPM, which packs multiple (up to 7) 180 byte
blocks into an RTP payload, is a restricted subset of GPM, and GPM is the more general
case.
VLANs, ports and Time To Live (TTL) should be configured as per the network switch
requirements.
If no SSRC (Synchronisation source identifier) value is required, it can be left blank.
If transmitting ST 2110 the required payload type value should be set. The value for payload
type is arbitrary and decided by the user. For example, value 100 could be used to indicate
1920x1080i 50Hz content and value 101 used to indicate 625i 50Hz content.
4.5 Receiving an IP Flow
The M-GWIPSDI-6 and M-GWIPIP-6 apps are capable of receiving up to six HD/SD-SDI or
three 3G-SDI IP flows. These can be received on any of the 10GbE network interfaces
located on the rear connector.
The following example shows an M-GWIPSDI-6 configured to receive Input 1 using SMPTE
ST 2022-7 protocol. When selecting ST 2022-7 it is necessary to configure both the ‘Network
In’ and ‘Protect Network In’. For maximum redundancy it is recommended to receive ‘primary’
Crystal Vision I/O Configuration
M-GWSDIIP-6/M-GWIPSDI-6/M-GWIPIP-6 User Manual R1.1 14 05 August 2022
and ‘protect’ on two different network interfaces e.g. Interface 1 and 2 on M-GWIPIP-6 and M-
GWIPSDI-6.
M-GWIPSDI-6/M-GWIPIP-6 Input 1 Net In
The controls highlighted in the above configuration show Input 1 of the M-GWIPSDI-6 set to
receive the ‘main’ flow packets on Ethernet Interface 1:1 and ‘protect’ packets of the ST 2022-
7 protocol on 2:1.
To successfully receive a flow, all IP parameters must agree with those of the transmitter. In
the above example we can see that the IP addresses, VLANs, ports and SSRC match those
given in the M-GWSDIIP-6 flow transmission example on the previous page.
M-GWIPIP-6 provides the same Net In controls as M-GWIPSDI-6.
If receiving ST 2110, the 2110 payload type and 2110 format will need to match the
transmitter.

4.6 Enabling SDI Outputs (M-GWIPSDI-6)
The M-GWIPSDI-6 provides six SDI outputs. They are individually routable to from any of the
IP input flows. By default the SDI outputs are disabled, therefore should be enabled as
required.
In the example below SDI Output 1 is enabled with its source routed to Input 1 of the IP
network input.

4.7 Video format
By default the video format mode is set to process six HD or SD-SDI channels. Channels 1, 3
and 5 can be set to process 3G-SDI using the ‘Mode’ control on the ‘Presets, Defaults,
Alarms’ tab. Enabling 3G on channels 1, 3, and 5 disables processing on channels 2, 4 and 6.

6 References and Output Timing
6.1 References
All apps are able to lock the outputs to a PTP clock, an analogue tri-level or Black & Burst
sync, or freerun the outputs to an internally generated clock. Additionally M-GWSDIIP-6 is
able to lock to an SDI input.
All outputs are locked to the same reference clock. It is not possible to lock different outputs
to different clocks. If locking the M-GWSDIIP-6 outputs to an SDI input, the first present SDI
input is chosen, starting from SDI Input 1.
Inputs are not required to be the same frame rate as the chosen reference. It is possible, for
example, to input 59.94Hz video locked to a 50Hz reference. However, frames will be
dropped and repeated as necessary when cross-locking frame rates in order to maintain a
valid output.
