Target Details

1 min

The Details section shows the following information:

In addition to the parameters described below there are several parameters that are specific to each Target type that are displayed for a Target of that particular type.

Parameter	Description
Type	The type of Target. Possible types are: Push, Pull, RTMP, S3, HTTP or UDP/RTP.
SRT Pull (Listener)
Events Configuration Profile	The Events Configuration Profile that was assigned to this Target. Events Profiles consist of a series of rules that determine precisely how various types of Events are logged and what results they trigger.
Location	The location of the Target.
Network	The network on which the Target is hosted.
Channel	The channel that is associated with the Target.
Source Preference	The preference for connecting to a Source. Possible values include: Any Source – the Target will establish a connection to any available source in the Channel. Upon any disconnects with the current source, the Target will reconnect to another available source in the Channel. Primary Sources Only – the Target will establish and maintain connection to a source designated as Primary in the Channel. Upon loss of connection to that source, the Target will establish a connection to another available Primary source in the Channel. Backup Sources Only – the Target will establish and maintain connection to a source designated as Backup in the Channel. Upon loss of connection to that source, the Target will establish connection to another available Backup source in the Channel. Specific Source – a specifc source was selected. The Target will only establish a connection to the selected source and will not try to connect to any other source in the Channel.
Port	The Target port on the receiving device.
Latency	The latency value that was configured for the Target. Actual latency will be set by Cluster redirection rules, then this value, and then the remote device’s configuration.
Password	The password that protects the stream.
Encryption	The type of the Encryption.
Prefer Private Broadcaster IP	Indicates if the Prefer Private Broadcaster IP setting was enabled/disabled. When enabled the private broadcaster IP is used when available. The default behavior when this is not selected is to prefer use of public IPs. Broadcasters typically have a public and private ip address for each network interface. If you pull from the public IP, the request goes out over the internet, even if the target system is on the same local private ip range. To avoid paying for unecessary egress data rates, enabling this setting tells the Broadcaster to seek for the private network connection.
Make Timeline Continuous	This option normalizes the timeline, making it continuous. Note that it will add 100ms latency and it creates a variant of the input, which means that it doubles your input.
Remove old SCTE-35 packets	Indicates that the original inputs SCTE data was removed.
Name	The name of the Target.
Tags	The Tag/s that is associated with this Target.
SRT Push (Caller)

Backup Sources Only – the Target will establish and maintain connection to a source designated as Backup in the Channel. Upon loss of connection to that source, the Target will establish connection to another available Backup source in the Channel. Specific Source – a specifc source was selected.

Smoothing	The size of the buffer in Milliseconds. A larger buffer enables smoother entry, however, it may influence the latency rate. The Smoothing feature uses a buffer to time packets according to the stream's clock, by creating a queue in the buffer, allowing smoother entry into the Broadcaster. This is useful when there are bursts in the rate in which the stream arrives.
Remux Mode	The specified Remux Mode. Possible values include: Pad - in the Padding mode a VBR stream is turned into a CBR stream in a non-transformational way, by adding null packets and adding some minor PCR corrections. This mode is used when the stream is compliant with broadcast quality but needs minor PCR correction and padding to make it CBR. Remux - Remux mode is transformational and is used to try to fix streams that are typically non-compliant with broadcast quality IRD’s, often originating at consumer-level software encoders or other misconfigured/non-compliant encoding sources. The system unpacks the original TS, separates the audio and video, assembles the frames and then re-packages them. As part of this process the PIDs may be changed and a new PCR clock may be created. This mode assumes that the stream includes a single audio and video source.
