Configuring settings: Proxy Streaming Server
- This SiteConfig role must be assigned in the Express/Core server:
- GV STRATUS Proxy Streaming Service
— To enable frame accurate playback and the ability to seek, cue and mark proxy files in GV STRATUS Web Clients within an HTML5 standard browser.
- GV STRATUS Proxy Streaming Service
- This license must be installed in the Express/Core server via SabreTooth:
- STRATUS-PROXYSTREAMING
— This license enables web streamings, with the maximum number of 40 streams per server.
- STRATUS-PROXYSTREAMING
- In the Control Panel application, click Core | Proxy Config | Web Streaming.
-
Configure settings as follows:
Setting or button Description Add Opens the Add Proxy Streaming Server dialog box. Modify Opens the Modify Proxy Streaming Server dialog box for the selected server. Configure Allows you to configure the maximum number of stream usage and set the SSL certificate for secure connection of web streams. Remove Removes the selected server. Save Saves the current settings. Cancel Discards any new settings and reverts to the last saved settings. -
Click Add to add the
Proxy Streaming Server in your operation.
The Add Proxy Streaming Server dialog box opens.
-
Configure settings as follows:
- Click OK.
-
Click Configure to enter the maximum number of streams allowed for
each Proxy Streaming Server or to set the SSL certificate for secure connection
of web streams in your operation.
Note: Each STRATUS-PROXYSTREAMING license enables web streaming in GV STRATUS Web Clients with up to 40 streams per server.
When the core services are initially installed they automatically generate a type of certificate called a “self-signed” certificate. This certificate offers basic encryption capabilities, but cannot be used to verify the server. By default browsers do no trust self-signed certificates as they can be created by anyone and offer no protection against imposters and middle-man attacks.
In order for the browser to trust the server and begin an HTTPS connection, it needs to validate a certificate. These certificates must come from a known organization called a certificate authority – one that the browser trusts to verify the server is who it says it is.

your Proxy Streaming Server settings.
You can also control the UDP port range of the proxy streaming server via the registry settings. On the machine(s) on which the proxy streaming service is running, add the following in the registry.
- Key : HKLM\SOFTWARE\Grass Valley\Proxy Streaming Gateway
- Name : UdpPortRange
- Type : String
- Value : Enter the port range
Example: If the value data were set to “10000-11000”; this will limit the proxy streaming server to use UDP ports 10000 – 11000, which you can then allow via your firewall rules. The range has to be large enough to support multiple simultaneous connections, and also work around any other services that might be using random UDP ports.
- Repeat steps 3-7 to add more Proxy Streaming Server(s), if applicable.
