HOME Apps - Receiver Parameters
This topic describes the streaming parameters for a HOME Apps receiver.
How to access and edit a receiver is described in HOME Apps - Edit Sender or Receiver. Here we describe the specific parameters for each stream essence type: Video, Audio and Meta.
Please note:
- Not all apps support all essence types.
- Some controls vary depending on the transport type.
The tables below describe all possible parameters for each essence type:

| Primary Destination UDP Port | Editable | Displays the current UDP port value of the stream routed to the receiver. The user is able to modify this value. Doing so will cause the currently routed stream to be dropped and the receiver will acquire a new stream available on the UDP port entered. | ♦ | ♦ | |||
| Secondary Destination UDP Port | Editable | Displays the current UDP port value of the stream routed to the receiver. The user is able to modify this value. Doing so will cause the currently routed stream to be dropped and the receiver will acquire a new stream available on the UDP port entered. | ♦ | ♦ | |||
| Primary Source Address | Editable | Displays the Primary IP Address of the stream routed to the receiver. The user is able to modify this value. Doing so will cause the currently routed stream to be dropped and the receiver will acquire a new stream available on the IP Address entered. | ♦ | ♦ | |||
| Secondary Source Address | Editable | Displays the Secondary IP Address of the stream routed to the receiver. This parameter is not used (blanked out) when the stream's Protection parameter is non Redundant. The user is able to modify this value when the Protection parameter is Dual Redundant, this will cause the receiver to drop the source currently routed and start receiving the source provided by the new IP address entered. | ♦ | ♦ | |||
| NDI Source Name | Editable | Displays the name of the NDI source routed to the receiver. | ♦ | ||||
| Source Address | Editable | Displays the IP Address of the NDI source routed to the receiver. | ♦ | ||||
Audio Receivers
The following parameters can be accessed from the 'Edit Audio Receiver' dialog.
Please note: The dialog is not applicable for audio streams being carried over SRT, NDI and WebRTC transports.
| Control | Description | 2110-30 | |
| Label | Displays the name of the receiver. | ♦ | |
| Streaming Interface | Displays HOME's Stream Index. | ♦ | |
| Protection | Displays whether the stream is Dual Redundant or non Redundant. | ♦ | |
| Max Receivable Channels | Configures the maximum number of audio channels which can be received by the receiver. If the routed source contains more channels than the receiver is configured for, the additional channels will be dropped. If the routed source contains fewer channels than the receiver is configured for, silence will be inserted into those channels. | ♦ | |
| Syntonized | This option determines whether the receiver runs in syntonized mode (option enabled) or synchronized mode (option disabled). By default, syntonized mode is enabled. Syntonized mode should be used if the clock signal is missing from the connected stream's SDP information, or if you have a different clock source selected at the sender and receiver. | ♦ | |
| Delay relative to source timestamp (samples) | This value can be used to compensate for delays along the network path such as packetization latency and jitter. The value must always be larger than the frame size (in samples) specified at the sender. As a general rule, set the value to 2 x the sender's frame size. If you experience drop-outs during playback, then increase the value. | ♦ | |
Current Stream Information | |||
| Label | Displays the name of the source routed to the receiver. | ||
| Stream Channels | Displays the number of audio channels in the source routed to the receiver. | ♦ | |
| Frame Size (Packet Time) | Displays the number of audio samples in each RTP packet being received. e.g. 6 (125 uS) - the RTP packet contains 6 audio samples, which cover 125uS of audio. | ♦ | |
