The Advanced → Receivers menu provides information and configuration controls for the app's media network receivers.

There is a main page (with no controls), plus a sub-page for each available receiver.

For a HOME UDX, there is a single input receiver:

  • RX 1 = UDX Input

Please note: The receiver sub-pages, and their controls, are dependent on the input transport type defined in the app configuration. i.e. ST 2110-xx, SRT or NDI.

This topic describes the Advanced menu controls for all possible receiver types.

Receivers

There are no global controls on the 'Receivers' main page.

The RX 1 sub-page provides access to the input receiver's controls.

Receivers → RX 1

The 'RX 1' sub-menu can be used to view and adjust settings for the app's input receiver.

The page contains links to predefined Grafana Dashboards that can be used for monitoring purposes, plus a number of further sub-pages.

The sub-pages, and their controls, are dependent on the input transport type defined (by the user) in the app configuration:

  • for ST 2110-xx receivers, there is a sub-menu for each available flow: Video, Audio and Meta.
  • for SRT receivers, the media stream sub-menus are replaced with SRT settings.
  • for NDI receivers, there are no available controls.

The rest of this topic describes the possible sub-menus for each transport type.

ST 2110-20 or ST 2110-22 (JPEG-XS) Receivers

When the app's input video transport is set to either ST 2110-20 or ST 2110-22, the receiver's sub-pages can be used to access the SDP information for the individual flows: Video, Audio1, etc.

SDP Information (of Connected Source)

Selecting a sub-page (e.g. Video) reveals the SDP file associated with the source routed to that receiver. The user is able to modify the SDP file, or replace it with the SDP file from another device's sender (via a copy and paste). This provides an alternative method of routing signals, known as SDP Patching.

The SDP file information is also available to automation systems, such as VSM, via the HOME API.

In the example shown below, the Video receiver is connected from a HOME Multiviewer. However, if the receiver is not connected, then there is no SDP file to display and the sub-menu is empty.

Note that the same SDP data can be accessed from the app's 'Receivers' page (as described in HOME Apps - SDP Data).

SRT Receivers

When the app's input video transport is set to SRT, the media stream (SDP) sub-menus are not available and are replaced with SRT controls.

These controls are used to configure the SRT receiver. For more information, please see HOME Apps - SRT.

NDI Receivers

When the app's input video transport is set to NDI, there are no sub-pages or controls as the NDI configuration is done at an App Server level.

See HOME Apps - NDI.
