Configuration
Accessing Encoders in AMS
It is recommended that the Atlona Management System (AMS) be used to configure and control OmniStream devices. AMS uses multicast Domain Name Server (mDNS) to automatically discover each encoder on the network.
AMS is free and can be downloaded from https://www.atlona.com/ams.
By default, encoders are set to DHCP mode, allowing a DHCP server (if present) to assign the encoder an IP address.
Once an IP address has been assigned, the Atlona Management System (AMS) can be used to manage the product on the network. Note that AMS will only be able to discover encoders if they are on the same VLAN.
In order for AMS to automatically assign multicast IP addresses to OmniStream encoders, the destination IP addresses for the session streams must be cleared.
NOTE: The following steps are required only if a pre-existing multicast IP address is assigned to each session and if automatic assignment of these multicast IP addresses, using AMS, is desired.
1. Launch a web browser and enter the IP address of AMS, in the address bar.
2. Enter the required login credentials. The default login is:
Username: admin
Password: Atlona
3. Click the Login button.
4. The AMS Dashboard will be displayed.
5. Click the icon, in the upper-left corner of the AMS Dashboard.

Configuration
All available encoders will be displayed under the Unassigned category. When an encoder is unassigned, it means that it has not been assigned to a site, building, and/or room. Refer to the AMS User Manual for more information on these topics.
If a DHCP server is not found within 60 seconds, the encoder will be placed in Auto IP mode and assigned an IP address within the range of 169.254.xxx.xxx
. If this occurs, configure the network interface of the computer that is running AMS, located on the same subnet ( 169.254.xxx.xxx
, subnet mask 255.255.0.0
for more information on configuring an encoder in Auto IP mode.
If no OmniStream encoders are found, then verify the following:
• The computer that is running AMS must be on the same network as the OmniStream device.
• Remove any network restrictions that may be in place. In order for mDNS to function properly, there must not be restrictions applied to the network.
9. Click the desired encoder within the Unassigned list.
10. Once the unit is selected, the control interface for the encoder will be displayed.

Configuration
Configuring a Static IP Address
The following section is only required to when setting an encoder to a static IP address. If a DHCP server is not found within 60 seconds, encoders are automatically placed in Auto IP mode and will be assigned an IP address within the range 169.254.xxx.xxx
. If this occurs, a static IP address can be assigned to the encoder in order for AMS to locate it on the network.
1. Make sure that the encoder is powered. The AT-OMNI-111-WP is powered by connecting an Ethernet cable from the encoder to a PoE-capable switch.
2. Connect an Ethernet cable from the PC, directly to the Ethernet port on the rear of the encoder. Make sure that the computer being used has AMS installed.
3. Configure the PC to a static IP address that is on the same subnet as the encoder.
IMPORTANT: Windows: Before continuing, write down the current IP settings in order to restore them, later. If Obtain an IP address automatically and Obtain DNS server automatically are selected, then this step is not required.
4. Login to AMS. Refer to
Accessing Encoders in AMS (page 13) for information on the login process.
5. Locate the encoder under the Unassigned section within AMS.
6. Click on the device.
7. Under AMS, click NETWORK in the menu bar.
8. Click the DHCP Mode drop-down list and select Static .
9. Enter the required network information for the encoder in the IP Address , Subnet , and Gateway fields.
10. Click the Save button in the bottom-right corner, to apply the changes.
11. Disconnect the encoder from the PC and connect the encoder to the network.
12. The encoder is now ready for use.
AT-OMNI-111-WP 17
Configuration
Input Selection
Once the OmniStream encoder is configured, and can be located on the network, the encoder will need to be instructed on how to handle source devices and to which stream each source is assigned.
Input Selection
1. Under AMS, click INPUT in the menu bar.
2. Click the Input drop-down list for HDMI Input 1 and select the input.
3. Enter the desired bit rate in the Bit Rate field. Specifying lower bit rates will reduce video quality. This value is in megabits-per-second (Mbps). 4K/UHD streams should be set to 900 Mbps. The recommended bandwidth for
1080p60 video is also 450 Mbps. Setting this field below these recommended values will result in lower-quality video.
4. Enter the bit depth from the Bit Depth drop-down list.
5. Select the chroma subsampling value from the Subsampling drop-down list. Available values are 4:2:0, 4:2:2, and 4:4:4.
6. Click the Force YUV toggle switch to enable or disable the use of YUV color space. Enable (the toggle switch will be green) this feature to force the output of the encoder to output YUV, regardless of whether the input is
RGB or YUV. In order for the chroma scaling to work on RGB inputs, this feature must be enabled.

AT-OMNI-111-WP 19
Configuration
Session Configuration
Once the inputs have been assigned to the desired source, the next step is to configure each session . A session is a class-D multicast IP address that is assigned to an AV stream. If each stream is configured for bit rates less than 450
Mbps (only recommended for 1080p and lower resolutions), a single Ethernet cable can transport two sessions.
The single-channel encoder supports a maximum of two sessions to enable redundancy for single 1080p-use cases.
Video
1. Under AMS, click Session in the menu bar.
2. Click the eth1 physical interface from the Interface drop-down list.
3. Select the HDMI Input 1 from the Encoder drop-down list.
4. Under the Video section, make sure that the Enable Video toggle switch is enabled (green). To disable video at any time, click the toggle switch so that it appears gray.

Basic Operation
Unicast Mode
The term unicast is used to describe a configuration where information is sent from an encoder to a single decoder.
Although it is common to have multiple encoder and decoder units within a system, it may also be desirable to restrict a single encoder to communicate with one decoder. In unicast mode, OmniStream encoders and decoders function similar to an n x 1 switcher. Changing the destination IP address at the encoder, will direct the stream to be received by a different decoder.
The illustration below shows three encoders and three decoders on a network, operating in unicast mode. The red lines indicate the data paths from each encoder to a separate (single) decoder.
NOTE: By default, both encoders and decoders are shipped in multicast mode.

Basic Operation
Multicast Mode
The term multicast is used to describe a configuration where information is sent from one or more points to a set of other points. For example, a single encoder can transmit data to multiple decoders. In addition, if multiple encoders are used, each encoder can stream data to any decoder that is not already receiving data from an encoder.
In multicast mode, the OmniStream encoders and decoders function similar to a matrix switcher.
The illustration below shows three encoders and three decoders on a network, operating in multicast mode, where multiple decoders are subscribed to a single encoder. The red lines indicate the data paths from an encoder
(192.168.11.117) to multiple decoders.
NOTE: By default, both encoders and decoders are shipped in multicast mode.

802.1X Authentication
802.1X is a server-based port authentication which restricts unauthorized (rogue) clients from connecting to a Local
Area Network through a public port. In its simplest form, 802.1X usually involves three parties: supplicant (client device), authenticator (Ethernet switch or WAP), and an authentication server. Before the device is permitted on the network, port communication is restricted to Extensible Authentication Protocol over LAN (EAPOL) traffic. If the device passes the authentication process, the authentication server notifies the switch, allowing the client to access the LAN. The illustration below shows the basic architecture.
WARNING: Connecting an 802.1X-enabled encoder to a network without an active or operational authentication server, will result in an encoder that does not function until the expected message is returned from a RADIUS server. If it is unclear as to whether the network uses 802.1X authentication, consult the IT administrator for assistance.

Slate / Logo Insertion
Slate / logo insertion is managed from within AMS. The difference between a “slate” and “logo” is in the size of the image and how it is used: Logos are classified as smaller, low-resolution images that can be positioned at specified locations on the screen. Slates occupy the entire screen. Note that while logos may be used as slates, the image quality will be degraded, as the image will be scaled to fill the screen.
Slate / logo insertion can be performed on both the encoder and decoder. When configured on the encoder, the image that is displayed on the output (decoder) will be from the encoder IP address(es) to which each decoder is subscribed. When configured on the decoder, the image is unique to the specified HDMI output. Refer to the

PTP
The PTP page provides options for adjust Precision Time Protocol (PTP) for AES-67 audio streams. PTP is used by
AES67 to keep all audio streams synchronized.
For a system utilizing PTP, all devices undergo an automatic self-election process to choose the interface to be used as the PTP grandmaster (GM) clock, based on the accuracy of the device’s clock and the device’s configured priority.
A lower priority number means the unit is more likely to get selected as GM.
IMPORTANT: If a new device is added to the network and the GM changes, a brief outage will be experienced while all connected devices synchronize with the new clock. Because of this, Atlona recommends that one unit gets manually defined as the GM and have both Priority 1 and Priority 2 fields be set to 1.

Layout and Operation
The illustration below, shows a multiple OmniStream units (encoders and decoders). The Virtual Matrix is organized into rows and columns.
The blue circle with the checkmark indicates that these two OmniStream units are connected to one another.
The second column identifies a dual-channel decoder (AT-OMNI-122). The third row shows a dual-channel encoder
(AT-OMNI-112). In this example, the source signal on HDMI 1 IN (encoder) is being sent out, over the network, and will be displayed on HDMI 1 on the decoder. This will create a cross-connection , which connects both the encoder and decoder together.
• Creating a cross-connection
To route an input on an encoder to an output, locate the row and column where an input and output intersect, then click the square with the dots around it.
• Removing a cross-connection
To remove a cross-connection , click on the desired circle icon with the check mark symbol. The square with the dots around it will be displayed indicating that the cross-connection has been removed.

IMPORTANT: R-Type and Pro compatiblity: R-Type encoders (AT-OMNI-512) and decoders (AT-
OMNI-521) operate in Video Mode, only. Pro encoders can be set to either Video Mode or PC
Mode. Video Mode is incompatible with PC Mode. Therefore, in order for both R-Type and Pro encoders/decoders to work within a system, Pro encoders/decoders must be set to Video Mode.
Refer to Setting the Video Mode (page 40)
for more information.
• Click the Video , Audio , and Data icons to return to the normal view.
• Since only HDMI (both audio and video) is being used, the V (video) and A (audio) icons are displayed. The blue circle with the checkmark indicates that the cross-connection has been created. However, not all streams are being used. Refer to the chart below.
• This illustration also shows that the data stream (the icon with two arrows and three dots), which is used for control, is also being used and is displayed as a dark-blue circle with the letter “D”.
• The icons in the upper-left corner can also act as a filter. This allows for a clear breakdown of where signals are being routed and is useful when several encoders and decoders are used on a network.
AT-OMNI-111-WP 63
Web Server
Accessing the Web Server
In order to access the web server of the desired encoder/decoder, the IP address of the encoder must be known.
This can be accomplished by more than one method. Running IP scanner software or using the Address Resolution
Protocol (ARP) are two possibilities. When running an IP scanner or using ARP, both the computer and the
OmniStream encoders/decoders must be connected to the same network.
TIP: Atlona recommends downloading and using the Network Assignment Planner, when setting up OmniStream products on the network. Recording this information in this document will provide a “snapshot” of the current OmniStream network configuration. The Network
Assignment Planner is available for download on the OmniStream product pages, under the
Resources tab.
Getting the IP Address
The following method uses the arp command, which is available from the command line in Windows. The arp command will display the IP-to-physical address translation tables used by the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP).
The following procedure can be used for both encoders and decoders.
1. Identify the desired encoder/decoder by locating the MAC address on the back panel of the unit. Figure 1.1
shows a sample label from an AT-OMNI-112 dual-channel encoder.
The MAC address for the Ethernet 1 physical interface is B8:98:B0:01:F7:EB.
Figure 1.1 - Sample label from a dual-channel encoder, showing the location of the MAC address.
MAC addresses
2. Connect a PC to the same network where the OmniStream encoders/decoders are connected.
3. Type cmd in the search bar, then press [ENTER] to launch the command line interface.
4. At the command prompt, type arp -a . Make sure to include a space between arp and the -a argument, then press [ENTER].
5. Press [ENTER]. Several lines of information will be displayed. Locate the MAC address of the encoder/decoder, under the Physical Address column. Directly across from the MAC address, the IP address of the encoder/ decoder will be listed under the Internet Address column. Refer to the illustration on the next page.

DSCP
Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) is a method of managing network traffic, in addition to providing Quality of Service (QoS) within the Layer-3 (Network Layer) of the OSI network model. DSCP uses the 6-bit Differentiated
Services (DS) field in the IP header in order to determine packet classification/priority. Normally, all routers and switches will forward network traffic to the proper destination with the same priority, no matter what type of data it is.
This methodology is what is known as Best Effort .
The Best Effort setting will provide normal priority for data packets, while other settings will raise the priority on data packets. However, it should be noted that a higher priority setting on one type of data type may also result in data packet loss for other data types, depending upon network traffic.
When QoS or differentiated services policy is used, all network devices such as routers, networks switches, and end-devices must be configured properly in accordance with QoS policies on the network. There are two main methodologies for tagging traffic: Assured Forwarding and Class Selectors.
The tables on the next page provide a list of the available selections and their description.
IMPORTANT: Consult the IT administrator as to what methods to use and the required settings for each encoder on the network.

PTP page
The PTP page provides options for adjust Precision Time Protocol (PTP) for AES67 audio streams. PTP is used by
AES67 to keep all audio streams synchronized.
For a system utilizing PTP, all devices undergo an automatic self-election process to choose the interface to be used as the PTP grandmaster (GM) clock, based on the accuracy of the device’s clock and the device’s configured priority.
A lower priority number means the unit is more likely to get selected as GM.
IMPORTANT: If a new device is added to the network and the GM changes, a brief outage will be experienced while all connected devices synchronize with the new clock. Because of this, Atlona recommends that one unit gets manually defined as the GM and have both Priority 1 and Priority 2 fields be set to 1.

Appendix
FEC Details
Matrix Size, Overhead, and Latency
• FEC can only work if a single packet from each row/column is missing. Multiple packets missing from each row/ column will cause FEC to fail.
• Due to the above, a smaller matrix is more robust, as there is a better chance of errors not occurring in the same row/column.
• FEC has a bitrate overhead that is inversely proportional to the matrix size: the bigger the matrix, the less bitrate overhead is generated.
• FEC has a latency overhead that is directly proportional to the matrix size: the bigger the matrix, the more latency is introduced.
» As of v1.0.0, OmniStream does not explicitly synchronize audio and video. Therefore, FEC configuration can have a noticeable impact on lip sync. The tables below should be used to keep the audio/video lip sync as tight as possible.
• FEC latency overhead is also inversely proportional to bitrate: the higher the bitrate, the less FEC latency is introduced.
» For applications where lip sync is very critical, using a higher audio sampling rate, and thus a higher audio bitrate, can result in more accurate lip sync.
FEC and Video Bitrate
• The bitrate configured on the video encoder includes FEC overhead and will automatically adjust itself depending on the bitrate needed for FEC.
• FEC overhead can be calculated using the following formulas:
Configured bit rate
Video rate = FEC rate = Configured bit rate - Video rate
1 +
Rows + Columns
Rows x Columns
• The following table provides a few examples of how this works.

Appendix
FEC, Latency, and Lip Sync
• In order for FEC to work, the matrix must be filled in order to calculate the FEC packets. This introduces some additional latency. Due to high bitrates, this is not noticeable for video, but can be very significant for audio.
Therefore, Atlona recommends either leaving FEC disabled for audio or using a very small matrix.
• Latency calculations are complex. The tables below provide some common working benchmarks. In order to minimize lip sync issues, try to match the additional latencies for video and audio as closely as possible.

• It is recommended to keep lip sync within ±1 frame of video to prevent any noticeable syncing issues.
• Examples of good choices to minimize lip sync issues are:
» Video configured for 450 Mbps, FEC 10x10; Audio is 2 channel PCM, 192 kHz, FEC 1x4: 6.40 ms – 7.81 ms
= -1.41 ms
» Video configured for 900 Mbps, FEC 10x10; Audio is 2 channel PCM, 48 kHz, FEC disabled: 6.40 ms – 0 ms
= 6.40 ms
