[SMPTE 2022-1 FEC] added to menu item
When “MPEG2-TS/RTP” is selected in [System] →[Network]/[Settings]
→[Live Streaming Set] →[Server]/[Streaming Server] →[Server1] to
[Server4] →[Type], [SMPTE 2022-1 FEC] can be configured. Set to
“On” to use FEC (Forward Error Correction). This is a transmission
system that recovers the missing packets in the decoding process
without having to retransmit the missing packets.
[Setting Values: On, ●Off]
* The decoder must be compatible with SMPTE 2022-1.
[FEC Matrix] added to menu item
For setting the amount of FEC (Forward Error Correction) overhead for
configuring SMPTE 2022-1.
Memo :
●This item is selectable only when [SMPTE2022-1 FEC] is set to “On”.
●When [Type] is set to “MPEG2-TS/RTP”, only even numbers from 2 to
65530 can be specified as the port number for the transmission
destination port.
●When [Type] is set to “MPEG2-TS/RTP” and [SMPTE2022-1 FEC] is
set to “On”, N+2 and N+4 port numbers are also used in addition to the
port number (N) specified for the transmission destination port.
Setting the FEC Matrix
Set the amount of “FEC” (Forward Error Correction) overhead for
configuring [SMPTE 2022-1].
1Select [System] →[Network]/[Settings] →[Live Streaming Set] →
[Server]/[Streaming Server] →[Server1] to [Server4] →[Type] →
[FEC Matrix], then press the Set button ( ●)
The FEC adjustment screen appears.
2Adjust the L and D values
Use the H/ Ibuttons to adjust the L value, and the J/Kbuttons to
adjust the D value.
The amount of FEC overhead changes when the L and D values are
changed.
To restore the L and D values to their default values, press the
[C.REVIEW/4] button.
Memo :
●Setting range
•4 ≦L ≦20 (Default value: L = 10)
•4 ≦D ≦20 (Default value: D = 10)
•L × D ≦100 (Default value: L×D = 10×10)
3Press the Set button ( ●)
The screen returns to the streaming server setting screen.
Memo :
●Increasing the amount of FEC overhead increases the packet loss
resilience but more network bandwidth is used.
●Even with the same amount of overhead, increasing the L value will
increase the packet loss (continuous packet loss) resilience.
High reliability mode added to ZIXI
High latency (high reliability) mode is added to ZIXI.
“High” is added to menu item [Latency]
“High” is added to [System] → [Network]/[Settings] → [Live Streaming
