Introduction

This manual covers the following products:

 The GOSTREAM BRD openGear® Multi-Standard Decoder card

 The GOSTREAM BRD standalone Multi-Standard Decoder appliance

All products have the same set of features, and essentially the same user interface. Unless

specifically indicated, all features and controls described in this manual apply to all products.

The decoders have the following features:

 Multi-Standard Decoder (MPEG-2 and H.264), with support for both SD (Standard

Definition) and HD (High Definition) content.

 Resolution resizing support (both upscale and downscale support).

 Frame rate conversion.

 Audio decoding support: MPEG-1 Layer III, AAC-LC, HE-AAC and Dolby AC-3.

 ASI input and output ports. All ports support the full ASI line rate of 213 Mb/s.

 Ethernet port for streaming with 100/1000 Mb/s support.

 Internet Protocol support:

o UDP/RTP/SMPTE-2022 auto-sensing

o HTTP Live Streaming (HLS) client

o RTMP Client mode – connects to an RTMP server and plays the content

o RTMP Server mode – accepts connections from an RTMP encoder

o RTSP Client mode – connects to an RTSP server, such as a camera, and plays the

content

 (P)SI and ATSC table parsing.

The GOSTREAM BRD stand-alone includes one additional Ethernet port for control and

management.

Typical application scenarios for the BRD are:

 Contribution and Distribution: reception of MPEG-2/H.264 content.

 Contribution feeds over the Internet.

 Ingestion of traffic cameras for broadcast use.

Product Overview

The BRD is a multi-standard broadcast decoder with the following features:

 Video Decoding: MPEG-2 and H.264 4:2:0 High Profile video streams with resolution up

to 1920×1080p60.

 Audio Decoding capabilities: summarized in the table below. Note that 5.1 and 7.1 audio

services are down-converted to stereo when decoded.

 Inputs:

o ASI Input

o IP Input using an auto-sensing 10/100/1000 Gb/s Ethernet

 Internet Protocol support

o UDP/RTP (auto-detected)

o SMPTE-2022 FEC (auto-detected, support for both row and column)

o HTTP Live Streaming (HLS) client

o RTMP client (flash content playback from servers)

o RTMP server (accepts connections from live encoders)

o RTSP client (connects to IP cameras)

 Outputs

o Composite video output

o HDMI video output with embedded audio

o SDI video output with embedded audio and SMPTE-334 closed-captions

o Analog stereo audio output

o ASI loop-through output

For the remainder of this manual, we will use the term port for a physical input/output port (such

as ASI or Ethernet), and stream for a transport stream present in the port. ASI ports support only

one stream, while Ethernet ports support multiple streams. A transport stream can have one or

more programs. In this manual, we will use the words program and service interchangeably.

A separate license is required for Dolby decoding. Please contact Niagara Video Corporation if you need this

license.

A separate license is required for the IP input. Please contact Niagara Video Corporation if you need this license.

GOSTREAM BRD Indicators and Switches

The GOSTREAM BRD card can be installed in the 20-slot DFR-8321 or OG-3 frames. The 10-

slot DFR-8320 frame is not supported. Prior to installing the card, first install the corresponding

rear panel I/O module.

Rear I/O Panel Indicators

There are two types of rear I/O panels available for the GOSTREAM BRD, depicted below.

Both types include one ASI input, one ASI output, one composite output and one SDI output on

standard BNC connectors, one HDMI output and one 100/1000 Mb/s Ethernet port on a standard

RJ-45 connector. The panels differ only on the type of analog audio output: one type has

balanced audio on terminal blocks, and the other type has unbalanced audio on RCA connectors.

The ASI input port has a green indicator LED, with the following states:

 LED off: ASI port is disabled.

 LED flashing once every 3 seconds: the ASI port is not locked to a signal (i.e., there is

no input signal).

 LED flashing once per second: the ASI port is locked to a signal.

The ASI output port has a green indicator LED, with the following states:

 LED off: ASI port is disabled.

 LED flashing multiple times per second: ASI port is transmitting packets.

The Video output ports share one green indicator LED, with the following states:

 LED off: the BRD is not currently decoding a stream. There may be a valid video signal

in the output, but it does not correspond to a decoded stream.

 LED flashing once per second: the BRD is currently outputting an SD stream on the

selected output ports.

 LED flashing multiple times per second: the BRD is currently outputting an HD stream

on the selected output ports.

The Gigabit Ethernet port has two indicator LEDs, with the following states:

 Green LED:

o Off: No link

o On: Link

 Yellow LED:

o Off: No activity (transmit and/or receive)

o Flashing: Port is currently transmitting and/or receiving

o Blinking: link OK, port is transmitting and/or receiving packets

Top Corner

The GOSTREAM BRD board has other LEDs that may or may not be illuminated. They are

intended for engineering debug only.

Front Switches

The GOSTREAM BRD board has two pushbutton-type switches in the front, just below the

LEDs, as depicted below. Their operation is as follows:

 Default IP Switch: This switch is used to recover the board in the unlikely case of a

corrupted or broken firmware update. In most cases, the GOSTREAM BRD will detect

the error and automatically fall back into the factory-default firmware load. If it does not,

pull the card out, press and hold this switch, and push the card back into the frame while

still holding the switch. You can release the switch once the Status LED turns orange.

This action causes the card to revert to the factory-default firmware.

 Reset Switch: Pressing this pushbutton switch causes the card to reset.

Output Rate column of the table. If this box is unchecked, the following additional

control is displayed:

 Bit Rate: Enter the desired NULL padding bit rate, in bits/second. Note that if the

stream data rate peaks over the configured value, data can be dropped, depending on the

peak duration (the BRD will buffer the data for short periods of time, but the MPEG

buffer models may be compromised).

When the Apply button is clicked, the changes entered in the Advanced Configuration area are

implemented, if the BRD is licensed to support them:

 Enabling a stream requires an IP Output license.

 Enabling SMPTE 2022 FEC requires a FEC license.

An error message is displayed at the top of the table if either or both licenses are not available.

IP Outputs Status Tab

The IP Outputs Status tab is depicted below. It has one entry for each available stream:

The following status are reported:

 Off: The stream is not enabled (and is not transmitting).

 OK: The stream is enabled and is transmitting correctly.

 Overflow: The stream is set for NULL Padding with Auto Bit Rate disabled, and the

configured padding rate is not high enough to support the current stream rate. Packets are

being dropped. Either increase the padding rate, or set the port to Auto Bit Rate, or

disable NULL padding.

 Overrun: The overall IP output capacity of the BRD has been exceeded, and packets

are being dropped. This will happen if too many output flows are enabled, especially if

NULL padding is also enabled. Turn off unneeded streams, reduce the NULL padding

rate, or disable NULL padding if possible.
