GV I/O Record Channel settings

These settings are optional on GV STRATUS systems, and only applicable to GV I/O record channels.

To locate these settings, click General | Channels | GV I/O and select a channel type configured to Record.

Setting or button Description
Channel The name of the GV I/O channel.
Channel Type The Channel Type selected is Record for the GV I/O Live Ingest and Playout Server.
Note: The GV STRATUS desktop application needs to be restarted after changing a GV I/O channel type from Playout to Record or from Record to Playout in order to see updated configuration options in the Channel Panel tool.
Channel 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 of the GV I/O channel.
Receiving IP 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.
Enable 2022-7 Redundancy Select this box to enable redundancy of ingests. This is only applicable when SMPTE 2110 is selected for the Channel Input.
2022-7 Receiving Interface When the enable 2022-7 redundancy check-box is selected, 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.
Update SDP File 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 configuration.

Upon updating the .sdp file and clicking Save, or after clicking another SMPTE 2110 channel, the field becomes blank and does not display the existing SDP file configuration.

IP Stream / Web Stream Enter the URL in the form of rtp://ip_address:port_number as described for SMPTE 2022-6 or Web Stream in the Channel Input description above.
Channel Format Select a format for the channel from the drop-down list. Available formats are as configured in Format settings in the GV STRATUS Control Panel. The setting determines the video format expected at the GV I/O channel’s input. This setting also determines the video codec used to compress the video while recording.
Audio Tracks Select the number of audio tracks supported for recordings via the channel. You can select up to 16 audio tracks for each channel.

Click Save to save the current settings. If you click Revert, the application discards any new settings and reverts to the last saved settings.
