II. TITAN Live design
The TITAN Live is a full software Transcoder and Encoder; it is meant to ingest SDI or IP stream, and egress
TS or ABR (Adaptive Bit Rate) streams.
From a configuration point of view, the TITAN is organized around “services”, which is defined as a
collection of transcoding from a given input. Thus, the “services” panel must be used to
create/delete/modify/monitor services.
The “alarm” panel is used to track all the defects and problems that occurred or are currently pending on
the unit.
The “support” panel is meant to assist the operator in troubleshooting the unit, perform advanced logging,
and get access to the full API documentation.
The “system” panel is related to system wide parameters, such as network configuration, password
settings, hardware monitoring, etc.

The list view gives you more information on the services (input and output address, profiles, video, audio
and data tracks).
Selecting a service by checking it will give you the same information and action possibility than the
thumbnail view.
Expands or collapses the entire list of services. Expand or collapse a

single service by clicking on its name.
Check monitoring to select all the services of your list. Check just one service to select it individually. This
will give you the same action possibilities than selecting a group in the thumbnail view.
Clicking Service, Input or Output will sort your list by the chosen data.
For a Service with ‘Active/Passive’ output redundancy, the active output will be displayed in blue, others
in white.
If auto switch back is disabled, then a link will enable you to select which output to activate.
C. Service edition
Figure 28: Service Edition
The service edition window is split into four parts.
On the left, your own services and devices library. There you can clone a whole service or re-use only its
encoding parameters. On the right, the input, device and output parts, allows you to set respectively the
input address and settings, all the encoding parameters and the output addresses and parameters.
On the top of that window, you can edit you service name, go back to the service view, cancel your
modifications or save the service.
Note that the service name you can enter here is only for you to recognize the service in TITAN Live GUI.
The service name that will appear in the tables can be set in the muxer parameters.

2. Devices library
Figure 30: Devices library
The devices library lists two type of devices (as a reminder a device corresponds to all encoding and
muxing parameters, except input and output):
- Default devices that are already created for you to use when you install the system. They
cannot be modified. If you use one of them, while saving the service you will be requesting to
save it under a name of your choice in your own devices library.
This will insure you to be able to come back to a default and tested configuration whenever you want.
- Your library of devices lists all the devices that you have already created (even if they are no
more in use). You can modify as you wish.
Those devices are sorted by muxer type. By clicking the type you need, you expand the list of all the
corresponding devices.
3. Defining Input
Figure 31: Defining Input
To define the input, you first have to define the type of input you want to use: either IP, SDI, RTMP or

4. Defining a Device
a) Mapping configuration
Titan Live has three service selection modes :
ID Description
This mode will automatically select the first program to decode in the incoming transport
Auto
stream.
In this mode two 'preferred' service IDs have to be set. Once found, audio, video and data
Auto-Service
PIDs are automatically chosen.
PID Mapping In this mode, PIDs have to be selected manually.
b) Multipackaging
Every OTT default device is available in Multipackaging. These multipackaging default template have
similar configurations to allow encoder mutualisation.
If you chose only templates of the same frame rate, with multipackaging, the same Multiple Packager
Group and the same input, the encoder will be mutualized for all those services. This will lead to a load
similar to one service.
Note: if you modify those devices, be sure to modify every multipackaged device with the same parameter,
or the encoder won’t be able to mutualize. In the case when the encoder cannot mutualize, an alarm will
be raised.

ii. HLS with multiple audios defining a renditions group
In the case where there are multiple audio tracks (for example, one for English and another one for
German), in the standard HLS mode, they are muxed with the video to produce the resulting TS segments,
and if many audio tracks are being used, these resulting segments will become heavier.
Instead, it is possible to define a an audio group with alternate renditions. Each of these audio will be
produced into independent media segments, instead of being packed with the video. In order to use this
feature, use one of the default Multi Audio devices that are provided (HLS iPad p25 Multiple Audios and
HLS iPad p29.97 Multiple Audios) :
Figure 47: Multi Audio devices
As for the standard HLS, you have to configure the tracks mapping, and to define the different track
variants that will be used :

Note that the language is a parameter of a track, and not of its variant, as they all share the same content.
If you go on the Muxers tab, you will be able to configure the Profiles of this HLS service. When using one
of the Multi Audio Devices, each profile will contain either a video track (possibly with data tracks), or an
audio track :

In this mode, audio tracks are not allowed to appear in a Profile that contains a video track or a data
track : audio tracks must be muxed independently. Each of the audio tracks will be playable with any of
the video streams (ie, with all the quality variants of the video), assuming the player supports the notion

of alternate renditions, which is, in theory, the case for any player that implements the version 4 of the
norm HLS (for instance, the player embedded within Safari supports it).
If you click on a profile that contains an audio track, you can configure the Default and Autoselect
attributes of its audio track :
Figure 51 : Name, default and autoselect parameters
Being the default track means that this track must be played by the player in the absence of information
from the user indicating a different choice. Being an Autoselect audio track means that the player may
choose to play this track in the absence of explicit user preference. There can be only one track with the
“Default” attribute set to on, and this one must also have the Autoselect attribute set to on.

Manifest confirmation and
Specific URL on the POIS for packager requests
conditioning (MCC) URL
When ESAM is activated, TITAN Live will send SCTE35 packets it encounters in the input stream to the
specified POIS server, and handle the associated reply. It will insert SCTE35 markers in the output stream
only if this reply asks for a marker, not inserting packets from the input stream.
If a listening port is defined, the POIS may send a request for SCTE35 insertion even when no packet is
present in the stream, using the “SignalProcessingNotification” ESAM message, by posting to the URL
defined by the port and using the path ‘/scc/signal’. Note that this does not apply to jobs running on a
VCA node.
Note that insertion times must be at least 4s in the future, or they will be ignored.
TITAN Live uses the ESAM I03 specification for its messages.
Using a “SignalProcessingNotification” from the POIS, it is possible to replace the video content with an
animated PNG file for an arbitrary duration. The actual file to use must must be uploaded as a logo to the
TITAN Live.
The “AlternateContent” tag should be used, with a “altContentIdentity” attribute specifying the name of
the file to use (without any extension), or an empty string to switch back to the video. At the specified
time the video will be replaced by the file, while the audio will be muted, or the source will be restored
(if “altContentIdentity” is empty).

2. System Management
a) System configuration
Figure 107: System configuration
Those parameters define the behavior of the TITAN with regards to CPU consumption. The TITAN Live has
a unique, patented algorithm which goal is to maximize the CPU cycles dedicated to video encoding. As a
result, the CPU usage is always maximized, resulting in a more efficient usage of the servers.
ID Description
When checked, the TITAN will limit the number of services that can simultaneous be launched,
Use CPU Locked … based on the estimated CPU capabilities at and on the CPU consumption of the configured services.
The number of services will be lower when “premium mode” is enabled.
When checked, the number of services that can simultaneously be launched will be lowered so that
Premium Mode more CPU is dedicated to each service. Please note that because of the dynamic CPU allocation, the
exact behavior of this checkbox can only be analyzed by the ATEME support team.
Enable automatic This option is helpful to troubleshot issues, capturing video and audio data as it goes through the
captures processing. Note that activating this option significantly degrades performance.

This lets you customize the "Titan Live" name of the browser's tab. It is shared by all users of the
Set Tab Title
Titan.
b) License management
The TITAN comes with software licenses than must be activated by the ATEME support team. It relies on
a license server (which is itself a TITAN). The license server can thus be either local (meaning that the TITAN
is acting as the license server) or remote (in which case another TITAN will act as a server that distributes
tokens).
Moreover, user can setup a poll of license servers that will allow to define a main license server and some
redundant licenses server
Figure 108: License Management
If a given license is missing, the TITAN will authorize usage of the corresponding feature for 2 hours and
raise an alarm; once the 2 hours have expired, the transcoding will stop. This 2h period (named the “grace
period”) ensures that the service will not stop working if the server is lost.
ID Description
When checked, the TITAN will query tokens from a remote server and/or redundant license servers
(server being a TITAN). Valid TITAN IP address must be used. The first IP address is the main license
server and others IP address separated by semicolon are the redundant license servers.
Use remote server At startup the main license server is the active server and all tokens request are addressed to hin.
When the main license servere goes down, token request are redirected to a redundant license
server. The main license server is put in a non-eligible state during a one hour period, and the
selected redundant license server is declared in active state. Servers in non-eligible state will be

4. Network Management
The TITAN Live offers a comprehensive network management view. The Titan Live detects the number of
physical Ethernet interfaces available on the System and lists them in the top-hand side table of the
‘Network Management’ sub-page. This page also offers the possibility to create and manage VLAN, as well
as creating network routes for all the interfaces.

a) Physical Interfaces
The Titan Live lists the network interfaces detected on the system1. A minimum of one interface is needed
in order for the system to be functional. Each interface row reports information about the associated
interface.
Parameter Description Range

b) NIC Bonding
The NIC (Network Interface Card) bonding is a term used to describe a way to increase available
bandwidth. When bonded, two NICs appear to be the same physical device and they also have the
same MAC address. NIC bonding may also be called NIC Teaming. There are multiple bonding modes
(please read https://goo.gl/DC0bT for more details) and the TITAN Live supports:
- ‘backup-active’ mode and the following options ‘miimon’, ‘updelay’ & ‘downdelay’
- ‘balance-rr’ mode and the following options ‘miimon’, ‘updelay’ & ‘downdelay’
Note that some bonding modes (specially ‘balance-rr’) require a dedicated switch to make it work
properly (see https://goo.gl/PKAmI).
Tips & Tricks: Press CTRL + click on a slave to select multiple interfaces
Notes:
- To avoid issue when removing a VLAN on a bonded interface, the operator shall first remove the
VLAN and then remove the bonded. In other words, the operator shall follow the reverse order of
the VLAN creation.
c) Virtual LAN management

VLAN (Virtual LAN) are used to create virtual sub-networks on a physical infrastructure, without additional
equipment. Any number of virtual interfaces can be created. Virtual interfaces can then be used exactly
like the physical interfaces for receiving or sending IP transport stream. The only difference in configuring
VLANs is that three other parameters need to be specified:
- The associated physical interface,

- The VLAN ID (12-bit field specifying the VLAN to which the frame belongs, and that will be used to
“tag” the frames)
d) Route configuration
All the TITAN Live interfaces can have routes. When a route is set up, all the outgoing traffic will be routed
according to the rule defined here. The route can be tied to a host or to a whole network; all the traffic
matching the entered rule will be routed to the defined gateway.
Please contact your system administrator or the ATEME technical support team for more information.

e) DNS configuration
Figure 114: DNS configuration
A primary and a secondary DNS can be configured to ease TCP based services such as RTMP or HLS
publishing points.
f) Statmux Configuration
Figure 115: Statmux Pool configuration
Multiple statmux pools can be configured, identified by the field "Pool Id". In the service device
configuration, the Statmux pool can be choosen if "Enable VBR Statmux" is checked.
The communication between the services running on a TITAN Live and a Statistical Multiplexer is done
through a multicast group. All the messages going from the TITAN Mux to the TITAN Live will use that
multicast group.
For redundancy purposes, a primary and a secondary interface can be defined. Messages will be received
on both interfaces.
If primary and secondary interface are the same, it is assumed that no redundancy is needed and that
only the first line of source address will be taken into account.

5. Alarms Management
Figure 116: Alarm Management
Alarm management is divided in two parts: the left side is related to the SNMP configuration, while the
second one allows the configuration of each individual alarms. Note that hardware related alarms are
configured in a dedicated page.
a) SNMP Configuration
The TITAN Live allows to change the SNMP community strings for Read-Only (default string: public) and
Read/Write communities (default string: private).
Traps can be enabled at a system level by clicking the “Enable traps” checkbox; when enabled, all the
alarms defined in the right panel may or may not trigger the emission of a trap, depending on the per-
alarm configuration.
Traps can be sent to up to four receivers; please note that the TITAN Live will automatically select the
appropriate combination or interface/route to reach the recipients that are defined here.
b) Alarms configuration
The right panel allows for configuration of individual alarms. An event that occurs on the TITAN Live can
trigger an alarm on the GUI and emission of a trap (if enabled at a system level). The TITAN Live offers the
ability to enable/disable the traps individually.

6. Password Management
Figure 117: Password edition
The TITAN Live offers three logging profiles:
- The administrator profile has the highest privileges. It can modify all the parameters, including
service configuration and system (network, etc.) configuration. The administrator is also granted
the rights to modify the password of the other profiles.
- The Operator can edit all the service parameters (encoding configuration); but it does not have
the ability to modify system wide parameters (IP address, routes, etc.) that would potentially make
the unit unusable.
- The monitoring profile can only monitor the system but cannot perform any modifications.
- The API profile can modify all the parameters, including service configuration and system
(network, etc.) configuration.
7. Logging configuration
This page offers the possibility to configure a connection with a remote client which will be forwarded
syslog messages. This can be used to remotely store unit logs.

8. Hardware Monitoring
a) Hardware Monitoring
The TITAN allows to set alarm related to the hardware on which it is running. These alarms are related to
fans RPM, PSU failure and CPU temperature. Being hardware agnostic, the content of this page will vary
depending on the host, and of the IPMI capabilities.
- CPU alarms are related to a temperature range; alarms will be raised when the temperature
exceeds a given (user configurable) value, and will be closed when it goes below another
threshold.
- FAN alarms are related to the detection of a non-spinning fan. Depending on the hardware
configuration, some FANs may not be installed and will thus raise an invalid alarm; this alarm can
be disabled through the UI.
- PSU alarms are related to PSU failure. Depending on the hardware configuration, the secondary
PSU may not be installed and will thus raise an invalid alarm; this alarm can be disabled through
the UI.
