Revision 0.2 Page - 1
1. OVERVIEW
The 3080UEP-H264P60-IPASI is the first of its kind to offer a multi-format encoding platform for
facilitating multi-faceted applications in a modular blade form factor; a true “Universal Encoding
Platform”. Using the latest advancements in compression technology the UEP delivers pristine H.264
(MPEG-4 Part 10) encoding at up to 1080p/60Hz true native resolution over Gig-E and/or ASI for
delivery over satellite or terrestrial networks. The UEP’s compression core can concurrently produce
an ultra low latency, visually lossless transport stream using the latest JPEG 2000 compression
algorithms for delivery across fat-pipe networks or high quality archival applications. Additionally the
UEP generates an H.264 transport stream at 4:2:0 resolution to facilitate content injection into IPTV
head end, in-house cable plant or delivery into an “over the top” adaptive bit rate transcoding network.
This unique triple staged compression architecture provides the very “best-in-breed” encoding for those
applications that require true compression flexibility without compromise.
The UEP’s physical interface offers dedicated primary and backup connections for Gig-E, ASI and
3G/HD/SD-SDI, dual control interfaces via the frame chassis for accessing the intuitive onboard HTTP
web interface or classic SNMP. Control virtualization within a workflow can be accomplished within the
Evertz VLPRO, IRM, MAGNUM or Mediator management software solution suites. Alternatively a
middleware layer that virtualizes the device into a resource pool provides a north bound service API.
For those mission critical applications, the UEP can be smartly managed using the Evertz
Compression Systems Manager (CSM) software which offers complete provisioning, monitoring and
redundancy management of the contribution compression head end. The 3080UEP Universal
Encoding Platform is fully featured upgradeable, allowing for a cost-effective migration from a single
codec contribution encoder to a triple stage compression platform in-field. For applications such as
news, live events, primary and/or secondary contribution, this platform offers the best performance and
versatility available from a world class contribution encoder supporting up to 1080P, a “True Master
Format”.

2. GETTING STARTED
Upon unpacking, the user should find:
1. A frame housing the 3080UEP
2. 3080UEP
3. User manual
4. Serial upgrade cable
3080UEP-H264P60-IPASI is normally shipped in any of the following three frames:
1. EMX6-FR
2. EMX3-FR
3. EMX1-FR
3080UEP requires two 6RU slots to be installed. It can be housed in either of the above frames.
Remove the power cords from their package and connect each one to one of the two black power
sockets on the rear side of the frame. Then connect the other end of each power cord to a power
source that meets product requirements. Insert the UEP in any spare slots and make sure it is properly
seated by pressing the ejectors on the front of the UEP. Turn power switches to the ‘ON’ position on
the frame, and the UEP should automatically power on. Should the device not start when connected to
a power source, check that the power cords are firmly connected and the UEP is properly seated.

1. Connecting device to computer:
a. Plug in a standard Ethernet cable (CAT5e or better) from the PC’s Ethernet port to the
EMX-FC control port of any EMX frame. Note, the EMX-FC is a switch and all UEP’s in
the frame will use the EMX-FC switch to communicate through this main control port.
b. Connect the multicoloured Evertz upgrade cable to header J3 on the front card edge of
the UEP as shown below. The header is on the top if vertical (EMX6) or the left if
horizontal (EMX1 or EMX3)
c. Login using customer/customer as login ID and password.
d. Upon login, change the IP address of the UEP under (1) Network Setupfrom the Main
Menu screen as shown below.
e. On the computer screen, select “Start” in the bottom left corner. Then select “Control
Panel”. Search for the “Network Connections” icon and double click it. Double click the
interface icon “Local Area Connection” and click the “properties” button. Following that,

Revision 0.2 Page - 7
select “Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)” and click the “properties” button again. Select the
button labelled “Use the following IP address” and click “ok”.
f. Verify that the computer is on the same control/management subnet as the encoder.
For example, if the UEP’s control/management IP address is 192.168.77.100, set the
PC to 192.168.77.xxx where xxx is user’s choice, and not 100.
g. Now check communication with the device. Select “Start” in the bottom left corner of the
computer screen. Then select “Run...” and in the space provided enter “cmd” followed
by clicking the “ok” button. In the command prompt type “ipconfig” and push the Enter
key. This will confirm the IP address has been set. Type “ping” followed by the IP
address of the UEP and press the Enter key again, if the IP address replies as below
then you are connected.
Figure 2-3: Command Prompt
Configure the encoder:
3080UEP can be managed over SNMP using Evertz Network Management System VLPro;
which also has its own http web management interface. All the controls are available in VLPro
are also avaliable on the http web interface. Both are covered below.
2.1. CONNECTING TO VLPRO
This chapter assumes that the VLPro server and VLPro client are already configured for your network
and you have basic knowledge of the VLPro interface. It also assumes that the user or network
administrator has already added the 3080UEP jar file; and both the client and server applications have
been restarted. If you are the network administrator refer to section 3.2 for information on updating the
VLPro Server Jar File.
Open VLPro and click on the refresh tree icon. Your 3080UEP should appear as a newly listed device.
It may take up to a minute to appear while the card and switch negotiate network settings (this can be
verified directly on the switch if necessary).
Please consult your network administrator if you continue to have problems connecting the card with
VLPro, alternatively contact Evertz Microsystems Ltd. or your authorized reseller for technical support.
Right click on the IP address of the 3080UEP and select “View Configuration”. The configuration page
will open; it is from these configuration tabs that the 3080UEP can be configured. Refer to the relevant
section of this manual for an explanation of the features and functions.

Page - 8 Revision 0.2
There are 3 menu items on the 3080UEP in VLPro.
1 Main node and 2 sub menus:
0. Main node. IP address of UEP.
1. H264-Encoder Contribution [1]
2. H264-Encoder IPTV [2]
The two submenus above are shortcuts to the Contribution and IPTV encoder tabs. The same tabs are
also available in the main node “View Configuration” window.
NOTE: The information contained in the H264-Encoder
Contribution menu, is directly replicated in the Contribution
Encoder tab of the main Configuration window. Please refer
to Section 4.6 for parameter details.
NOTE: The information contained in the H264-Encoder IPTV
menu, is directly replicated in the IPTV Encoder tab of the
main Configuration window. Please refer to Section 4.7 for
parameter details.

3. TROUBLESHOOTING
3.1. VLPRO DOES NOT DISPLAY THE 3080UEP ALARMS
Refer to section 1 (Connecting device to computer) to connect directly to the board via the serial port.
Once a connection has been established, check and/or configure the SNMP settings with the correct
VLPro Server IP address and ensure the community strings are correctly set. Refer to the network
administrator if you are in doubt as to what these should be set to.
3.2. UPDATING VLPRO SERVER JAR FILE
Products from Evertz are constantly evolving and new features are often added. It is therefore
important to update the JAR files in use to provide access to all the latest features or enhancements. It
will also be necessary to add JAR files for new products. If your new product has not appeared even
after waiting a few minutes for the Ethernet switch negotiation to complete then it is possible that your
JAR file may be old or missing.
To perform a JAR update, ensure that all VLPro clients are closed (those clients which are not closed
will automatically be disconnected as soon as the VLPro Server is restarted). Maximize the VLPro
Server window from the Windows task bar, select Help> Apply Update> Product from the menu.
Figure 3-1: VistaLINK®PRO Server

3080UEP Series
Professional 3G/HD/SD Universal Contribution Encoding Platform
Page - 10 Revision 0.2
A window will appear, as shown in Figure 3-2. Navigate to the location of the new JAR file and double
click to select the file. The window will automatically close and the update will be applied in the
background.
Figure 3-2: VistaLINK®PRO – Applying JAR Updates
You will be prompted to restart the server to enable the change to take effect. Apply as many JAR
updates as required before restarting the server.

NOTE: You may confirm that all updates have been successfully applied by
selecting from the menu Tools>View>Show/Hide Product update log.
Shutdown the server by selecting from the menu: File>Shutdown Server. Now re-open the server, it is
normal for the start up to take marginally longer while each individual update is being applied. Once
complete, you may restart the VLPro Clients. As the Client restarts you will experience a short delay
while the update is applied. A prompt will appear confirming that the updates have been applied.

SFP Part Number: This parameter returns the part number of the SFP located in the Data Port.
Link Status: This parameter returns the link status for Data Port 1 and Data Port 2. The status could
be either Up or Down.
Link Info: When the link is Up, this parameter returns link speed & duplex mode information for Data
Port 1 and Data Port 2.
Receive Bandwidth: When the link is Up, this parameter returns the receive bandwidth currently
being read on Data Port 1 and Data Port 2. Reading is in kbps.
Transmit Bandwidth: When the link is Up, this parameter returns the transmit bandwidth currently
being sent on Data Port 1 and Data Port 2. Reading is kbps.
Encoder Control
Encoder SDI Input: 3080UEP has 2x 3G/HD/SD SDI input interfaces. This parameter is used to
select the SDI input for all encoders.
Input Video Standard: This parameter allows the user to enter a fixed video standard expected at
the input. Auto is the default control however if a standard is not expected to change it may be
selected and the UEP will not auto search improving lock time.
Syslog Configuration:
Syslog is a valuable tool for debugging UEP operation. It is essentially serial readouts over IP, sent to a
dedicated server. If issues are present Evertz can help install and setup a syslog server for constant
monitoring of UEP activity.
External Syslog: This parameter allows the user to enable or disable sending syslog information to
the configured external server.
Syslog Server IP: This parameter allows the user to assign the external syslog server IP address.
This will be the address of a PC with the syslog server software installed (ex Kiwi Syslog Server).
