Operation Manual

 EIT P/F Flag: Check this box to set the EIT present/following flag for this service.
Since the B264 does not generate EITs, the correct setting of this flag is not set. Only set
it if you intend to mux an EIT downstream of the B264.
 Free CA Mode: Check this box to set the Free CA Mode flag. If this flag is set, it
indicates that one or more components of the service are scrambled. Since the B264 does
not offer scrambling, the correct setting of this flag is not set. Only set it if you intend to
scramble the program downstream from the B264.
Encoder Connections Tab
The Connections Tab is used to create output connections for the encoder. The set of output
options offered is a function of whether or not Secondary Audio and/or Additional Audio are
enabled:
Secondary/Additional Audio Disabled
Secondary/Additional Audio Enabled
The options are:
 ASI/IP Streaming: the output of the encoder is available for connection to ASI Outputs
and IP Outputs, as described later in this manual.
 HTTP Live Streaming: the output of the encoder is directed to a web server (which can
be the internal server in the encoder or an external server), which in turn serves it to web
clients using HTTP Live Streaming. If this option is selected, the encoder output is not
available to ASI and IP Output ports, and the video bit rate is limited to 15 Mb/s.
Moreover, the GOP Mode parameter in the Advanced Tab – Video Parameters will be
forced to Closed GOP. This output option is not available if Secondary Audio is enabled.
 Direct HTTP Streaming: the output of the encoder is available to clients over a standard
HTTP connection. Clients will open an HTTP connection to the encoder, send a standard
HTTP GET request, and receive the bitstream (for as long as they keep the connection
open). This output option is not available if Secondary Audio is enabled.
 RTMP: the encoder will operate as an RTMP client, connect to a specified RTMP server
and publish the stream, similar to the Adobe Flash® Live Media Encoder (FMLE). If
this is selected, the GOP Mode parameter in the Advanced Tab – Video Parameters will
be forced to Closed GOP. This output option is not available if Secondary Audio is
enabled.
Once an option is selected, the appropriate configuration parameters are displayed.
