Overall setup
The overall set-up of the WMT depends on the purchased configuration. In case of a point-topoint setup the playout and server are incorporated in the same hardware. For both cases the
primary set-up is identical.
Primary set-up
The primary set-up is the connection of the WMT with the server or server playout. The WMT
connects by a number of UDP channels, one channel for every connection (3G, LAN, 4G, etc).
When the WMT is behind a firewall, ports need to be forwarded. You need 10 ports for every
client that connects.

Check the server/server-playout manual for creating a complete system including firewall
explanation and architecture definition. Depending on the version the WMT is available as a 19
rack mount box or as a back pack model. In the manual at some points the differences are
enlighted.

This chapter describes the usage of the WMT client by LCD touch screen. This will give you an
interactive way to control the WMT client. The client is divided in multiple interactive pages
which can be opened by using the tabs.
Before you select a tab, be sure the Display Lock is off. Make sure the button on the left-bottom
is turned to green and that it states Display Unlocked. You can scroll the button to the right by
touching it and pulling it to the right. The display is now unlocked and you can start configuring.
When the display is not used for a certain amount of time, it will automatically lock to prevent
changes by accident.
Overview
Picture 2 shows the Overview tab on the LCD touch screen. This screen provides you basic
status information on the individual connections and the sum of the current bandwidth usage.

The preview tab shows the input signal or in case of no input the no signal image. The preview
will automatically stop after 10 seconds to preserve battery power. When previewing the image
the audio bars will indicate audio input levels.
If you connected a camera to the correct connector, selected the right connector, but still get no
signal, check your Input settings in the Settings screen. Make sure that both WMT and camera
send and receive the same in-and output. If the camera has a output of 720p at 50Hz, and the
WMT is set to PAL, a no signal message will appear at the preview screen. Check your camera
settings and the WMT settings to ensure you got the right settings enabled.
Input Signal
The input signal is the input that is connected to the WMT. Make sure that the output from the
camera of transmitting device is the same as the chosen input on the WMT, otherwise a no
signal screen will be shown. Also make sure the camera transmits SD or HD, depending on the
chosen settings.
The encoder input can be set to the following settings:

Audio player
In the audio player configuration contains the audio retour or IFB settings. In case of a set-up
together with the video manager these settings are configured automatically. In case of a pointto-point set-up the settings need to be done manually.
When using a point-to-point set-up make sure the audio player is enabled. Configure the right
URL to retrieve the audio stream (RTSP). The URL should be configured compliant with the one
configured in the playout. When using factory settings these are the default settings:
rtsp://[ip-server]/playout-[serial playout].sdp
For example: rtsp://192.168.0.10/playout-7320.sdp
Note that in a set-up behind a NAT the internal IP number is used.

6. PLAYOUT/SERVER
General introduction
The WMT is based on the bundling of several mobile and fixed IP channels into 1. The WMT
multiplexes the encoded video data and the p-t-p playout demultiplexes again. The WMT server
can be behind a firewall or directly connected with the Internet via a public IP number.
Behind a firewall
In case the p-t-p playout is behind a firewall/NAT server it needs to be configured with port
forwards. The following ports need to be opened:
UDP ports from 40000-40160 (6 for every WMT connected)WMT traffic
TCP port 554video connection
TCP port 22 for remote support
UDP port for audio retour 5002 15001
TCP 8080 http streaming, recordings listing
TCP 1935 flash streaming
TCP 7070 7071 7072 Videomanager management acces
In case youre having a hard time figuring out how to forward the ports in your own router
please visit www.portforward.com. Here you can select your own router model and get a step by
step tutorial about how to forward the ports.
The server IP number configured in the WMT should be the public IP number of the Firewall
NAT server.
Opening port 554 makes it possible to retrieve the stream via another playout as well.

Video player
The video player settings are:
Enabled; enable disable the total set-up
URL: Fill in the url of the stream when the videomanager is not used. In a point-to-point
setup this url should be RTSP://127.0.0.1/wmt-[serial wmt].sdp. See local Sources for
switching the URLs for replay of recordings.
Httptunnel: this is the port number used to fetch the stream from the WMT server via
TCP and packaged as http. This is by default 554 and in case the WMT server is in the
same subnet as the playout (like point-to point) it is recommende to fill in 0 because UDP
will be used with less delay.
Jitter: sets the jitter buffer in mS. By default 200 and depending on the connection
between the server and the playout it can be set higher. Note that this will influence the
total end to end delay.
RTCP sync: This should always be enabled
Videotype: Choices are PAL, VGA, 720p50Hz, 720p59Hz, 720p60Hz, 1080i50Hz,
1080i59Hz, 1080i60Hz and NTSC. Both All settings except VGA send the signal to the SDI
output. VGA setting send the video to the VGA adapter and if mounted the analogue
output. The videotype defines the resolution of the no signal image.
Scaling: In case the video resolution on the input (WMT, 3G-MC) is smaller then D1 this
option will make sure the video is scalled up to meet D1 resolution with aspect ratio
maintained.
Testsound: In case there is not input signal on the playout a no signal picture will be
shown. This option will also enable a 1Khz 0db sound
Analog Audio on: this option enables analogue audio output (line out)
Stream Timeout. Tis option is only used in combination with RS485. When RS 485 signals are
received the playout will start retrieving the video and stop automatically after the time out
period passed.

Audio retour
Audio retour settings are:
Enabled: enables audio retour
Mode: the options are announced or RTSP. By default in all cases this should be
announced
URL: this is the URL where the audio retour stream is available. This should never be
touched using a videomanger because these setting will be controlled from the
videomanger. In case of a point-to-point setup this URL should be
RTSP://127.0.0.1/playout-serialnumber.sdp
54
Serial Input
This setup is only needed when used in combination with PTZ cameras. Contact your account
manger in case this becomes a requirement.
55
If you enter one of the Video Players, you will see a small difference aswell. As the image below
is showing you can see that the duo and quad Playouts have a URL selection mode. In here you
can select if the player is in the videomanager, manual or incoming.
56
Manual
You need to fill in the RTSP URL manually.
Videomanager
This lets you use the videomanager with this particular player. You also need to add the
Videomanager IP address in the Videomanager column in the player menu.
Incoming
The manual options lets you type in the complete RTSP URL manually. With the
incoming option you can just type in the public ip address of the Server side of the
playout and it will automatic find a free spot on the server side. You dont have to fill in
anything manually.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Quick tips
Set up the WMT client at locations where there is a good reception. Attach a good quality
antenna to every antenna connector to improve reception quality, especially indoors.
Verify that the APN settings for the SIM are correct;
Check if the signal quality of the mobile connection is good enough;
Check if the mobile connection is at least using the technique UMTS or HSDPA. The
bandwidth of a GPRS connection is not enough;
Check that the settings for the WMT server (IP address and port number) are correct.
