Configuring a GV I/O Record channel

You must install GV I/O licenses before configuring the channels. UHD, HDR, and NMOS configurations require specific licenses on the GV I/O device.
  1. Click on the Channels tab, and select the specific GV I/O channel that you want to configure.

  2. Click the Configure button.

    The Channel Configuration page displays.

  3. Click on the drop-down list and select the appropriate option for each setting:
    Setting or button Description
    Type Select the Type as Record to configure a GV I/O recorder channel.
    Timecode Mode The timecode mode for the channel can be set at Fixed Format or Time of Day.
    Input Input signal type that has been connected to the channel at the GV I/O Live Ingest and Playout Server. Available input signals are in the list below:
    • Unassigned - The channel input is set to this initial setting by default. No other settings are configurable when this option is selected.
      Note: Changing a channel's I/O configuration to Unassigned will set channel configuration information to a default state and release any SabreTooth licenses associated with the channel.
    • SDI - Configures the channel to use SDI input. Requires the GVIO-HW-CORVID88 hardware configuration and GVIO-SVR-SDI license per channel.
    • SMPTE 2110 - Configures the channel to use 10/25GigE SFP input and allows for SDP file import. Requires the GVIO-HW-CX5 hardware configuration and GVIO-SVR-IP license per channel.
    • SMPTE 2022-6 - Configures the channel to use 10/25GigE SFP input and allows for a single RTP URL entry of the form rtp://ip_address:port_number as described below.
      • ip_address : The multicast IP address of the SMPTE 2022-6 media stream to be recorded
      • port_number : The UDP port configured for the media stream

      For example, “rtp://239.100.100.1:10000”.

      Requires the GVIO-HW-CX5 hardware configuration and GVIO-SVR-IP license per channel.

    • Web Stream - Configures the channel to use 10GigE RJ45 input and allows for a single RTP URL entry of the form rtp://ip_address:port_number as described below.
      • ip_address : The multicast IP address of the media stream to be recorded
      • port_number : The UDP port configured for the media stream

      For example, “rtp://239.100.100.1:10000”.

      Requires the GVIO-HW-CX5 hardware configuration and GVIO-SVR-WEB license per channel.
    Label The label that you want to assign to the GV I/O channel.
    Receiving Interface For a channel configured for SMPTE 2110 or SMPTE 2022-6 input signal type, enter the IP address that goes with the SFP connector used to receive the media stream.
    2022-7 Redundancy Select to enable or disable redundancy of ingests. This is only applicable when SMPTE 2110 is selected for the channel Input.
    2022-7 Receiving Interface When the 2022-7 redundancy option is enabled, a 2022-7 Receiving Interface (IP address) is also required, and it represents the IP address of a second GV I/O input as the backup.
    Channel Format Select a format for the channel from the drop-down list. The setting determines the video format expected at the GV I/O channel’s input.
    Video Compression Format Select a format for the channel from the drop-down list. This setting also determines the video codec used to compress the video while recording.
    Dynamic Range Type Select a dynamic range type for the channel from the drop-down list. The default is set to SDR, as this is the only available option if you selected SDI, SMPTE 2022-6, or Web Stream for the channel's input.

    If you selected SMPTE 2110 for the channel's input and already installed the GVIO-SW-OPT-HDR license, you can select either HLG or PQ dynamic range type for the HDR work flow.

    Note: HLG or PQ option can only be selected if the channel format is set to 1080p or 2160p.
    Data Rate Select a data rate for the channel.
  4. If SMPTE 2110 is selected as the channel's input, NMOS settings display as follows:

    Setting Description
    NMOS Select to enable or disable the NMOS option for the channel.
    Update SDP File If NMOS is disabled, click Browse and select the location to import the SDP file from. This is only applicable to SMPTE 2110 option as it requires an import of data from a .sdp file for the GV I/O channel configuration.
  5. Configure Automation Settings as follows:

    Setting Description
    Protocol Select AMP or VDCP protocol for automation control of the channel.
  6. Configure Audio Settings as follows:

    Setting Description
    Digital Ref Level Select the digital reference level for the audio of the channel.
    Audio Format Select the audio format to be either 16bit or 24 bit.
    Tracks to Record Select the number of tracks to record, up to 64 tracks.
  7. Configure Proxy Settings as follows:

    Setting Description
    Proxy File Recording Select to enable or disable the proxy file recording for the channel.
    Proxy Quality Select the proxy quality to be Low, Medium, or High.
  8. Click Apply to save your current settings, or click Back to return to the last saved settings.
