34 HYDRA2 Operator Manual
Using H20
METADATA AND EMBER CONTROL
SMPTE2020 metadata can be
inserted into chosen Hydra2 SDI
output streams using a 3rd party
EMBER controller.
The EMBER controller can choose from
a list of metadata sets stored by H2O.
To make a metadata set available for
selection by the EMBER controller, the
metadata set needs to be imported into
H2O in the form of an XML file.
The Manage metadata page in H2O
displays a list of the metadata sets
available for selection. The Files “+” and
“-” buttons at the bottom of the screen
allow for files to be added and removed
from the list.
As well as inserting metadata into
SDI outputs, EMBER controllers can
selectively mute any of the audio channel
pairs within each SDI output.
EMBER controllers also have the ability to
change the active user memory on control
surfaces as well as changing audio I/O
patching on control surfaces by activating
and deactivating I/O port alias files. For
more information on user memories and
port aliasing, please refer to a console
operator manuals.
Please refer to the Hydra 2 installation
manual for more information on EMBER
controllers and connecting them to a
Hydra2 network.
