TVU RPS Software User Guide
The TVU multi-channel RPS is a remote solution for at-home production/REMI (Remote Integration Model) production. TVU offers the only cost-effective RPS solution for frame-accurate, synchronized, multi-channel production over the public internet in the broadcast industry. Capture content live from any remote location and produce it instantly from your studio.
Chapter 1 – Introduction, setup, and base operation
TVU Remote Production System (RPS) is a cost-effective way to deliver live multi-camera broadcast using only a standard Internet connection and existing staff, equipment, and control room infrastructure.
With the TVU Remote Production System and TVU Timelock, you can produce professional quality video from up to six channels from the comfort of your facility, regardless of your network connection or whether your cameras are fixed or on the move.
Product overview
The TVU Remote Production System provides synchronized live multi-camera remote production. TVU RPS allows broadcasters to leverage their existing studio control room staff and equipment while using a public internet connection from the field. The TVU RPS provides a cost-effective alternative to live multi-camera remote coverage or production.
The TVU RPS transmitter encodes up to six synchronized SDI sources. It transmits high-quality, low-latency IP video from the remote location to a studio-based TVU RPS receiver, which outputs six synchronized SDI outputs. The TVU RPS can also send up to 2 low-latency return video feeds from the studio back to the field.
The TVU RPS encoder and decoder share the same basic hardware platform. The front panel features a simple button to power on the unit.
After the unit is set up and powered on, the TVU RPS Web interface, hosted on the encoder, monitors and controls the system.
You will use the TVU RPS Web interface to monitor and control all aspects of transmission, including real-time previews of all four channels with the Duo 2 card and all six channels with the Quad 2 card, current bitrate, and latency.

Complete the remaining steps to configure the TVU RPS encoder settings using the RPS Web interface:
- Access the encoder Web interface by clicking Settings in the upper right pane of the RPS Web interface.
Establishing an Internet connection
Notes:
- IP Addresses can be static or dynamically assigned (DHCP), and can be assigned to interface Eth0 which is used for primary RPS functionality, or assigned to Eth1, which is used for the VLAN tunnel.
- The physical ports Lan1 / Lan2 and logical designations Eth0 and Eth1, are reversed:
LAN2 = Eth0. Primary communications
LAN1=Eth1. VLAN tunnel functionality
To set up an internet connection for the encoder using a DHCP or static IP method, complete the following steps:
- Use the default interface settings ‘Eth0’ and ‘IP Method’ in the Set IP pane if you use DHCP. Click the Refresh button in the Set IP pane. The IP address, Mask, and Gateway fields should automatically populate.
- If you use a static IP address, click Eth1 from the Interface drop-down menu. Click the IP method drop-down menu and select Static. Enter your desired IP address, Mask and Gateway.
- Click Apply to save your settings.
VLAN Tunnel configuration overview
Note: IP Addresses can be static or DHCP and assigned to interface eth0 which is used for primary RPS functionality, or assigned to eth1, which is used for the VLAN tunnel.
By default, VLAN configuration automatically populates. In addition, the VLAN tunnel is designed to be a “set it and forget it” network between the encoder and decoder and distributes IP address accordingly using DHCP.
Suppose the user would like to perform an advanced VLAN configuration. In that case, the VLAN tunnel settings can be used to network several devices connected to an encoder through a local switch or view the encoder Web UI from the decoder network. The VLAN Tunnel supports IP Intercom, IP Tally, or CCU.
Subnet rules: The IP addresses assigned to eth1 for each device can be any desired subnet configuration as long as they are separated enough not to conflict with one another in a DHCP environment.
For example:
- You can use 10.0.1.1 and 10.0.200.1
- Do not use 10.0.1.1 and 10.0.1.20
VLAN Tunnel configuration
The VLAN Tunnel setting pane configures the VLAN tunnel functionality by inputting the IP address of the decoder, port, and bandwidth limit (optional). The port is associated with 6532 by default and can be changed if desired. Refer to the latest TVU port forwarding guidelines for more information.
To change the VLAN tunnel (Router) settings, enter your change(s) in the VLAN tunnel pane and click Apply.
VoIP configuration

3-channels primary plus 1 live return video
The following figure shows 3 primary channels and 1 return live video feed where channels 1, 2, and 3 are primary, and channel 4 is the return feed.
2-channels primary plus 2 return video
The following figure shows 2 primary channels and 2 return live video feeds where channels 1 and 2 are primary and 3 and 4 are return feeds.
If the operator is using 2 primary and 2 returns and decides to turn ON the primary transmission again on channels 3 and 4, the operator must complete the following steps:
- Click Stop All. Then, disable the return video feed by unchecking the box under the RETURN VIDEO section.
- Click Start All.
The message displays “To enable this channel (channel 3), disable Return Video 1” and “To enable this channel (channel 4), disable Return Video 2” as shown in the following figures.
Note: This feature should be possible for both 4 and 6 channel versions.
Chapter 2 – Monitor client feature
The Monitor Client feature is now available for RPS v6.3 and higher.
Overview
The primary purpose of the Monitor client feature is to allow a user to monitor outputs from decoders in different locations. For example, a user monitoring their own decoder’s outputs in New York can also monitor the outputs of a decoder in Tokyo.
This is accomplished by passing output channels 1-6 of the Tokyo decoder to the New York decoder as video streams in ISSP format.
Alternatively, if the user wants to monitor these channel streams in a different stream decoder, such as the VLC software application, the streams can also be formatted as SRT video.
Setting up the Monitor Client connection
To establish the monitor client connection between a remote decoder-1 in location A to decoder-2 in location B, complete the following steps:
- Open the decoder setting page and scroll to the Monitor tab.
- Click the Status drop-down tab and select Enable.
- Select the server radio button.
- Click the Protocol drop-down menu and select ISSP or SRT.
- Leave the default Port as 20001. Note that you can set any port between 20000-21000 if needed.
- Click Apply to save your settings.
- After clicking Apply, a success message displays to confirm your settings.
- The Status indicator in the Monitor panel changes from red to green.
To establish the monitor client connection for decoder-2:
- Open the decoder setting page and scroll to the Monitor tab.
- Click the Status drop-down tab and select Enable.
- Select the client radio button.
- Click the Protocol drop-down menu and select ISSP.
- In the Delay field, enter a delay (in seconds).
- In the IP Address field, enter the decoder-1 IP address.
- Leave the default Port as 20001. Note that you can set any port between 20000-21000 if needed.
- Click Apply to save your settings. The user will now see the same decoder-1 output for the decoder-2 output.
To send the decoder-1 output stream to a TVU transceiver, complete the following steps:
- Open the decoder setting page and scroll to the Monitor tab.
- Click the Status drop-down tab, select Enable.
- Select the server radio button.
- Click the Protocol drop-down menu and select ISSP.
- Leave the default Port as 20001. Note that you can set any port between 20000-21000 if needed.
- Click Apply to save your settings.
- In the TVU Transceiver user interface, enter the following ISSP URL as an Ext IP source input and go live:
srt://IP_address_dec:port
For example:
If the decoder-1 IP address is 192.168.88.230 and set to port 20001, enter the ISSP URL as: issp://192.168.88.230:20001 as an Ext IP source input on the transceiver where port 20001 is for channel-1. Similarly, if you want to pull channel-2 from decoder-1, use port 20002 in the ISSP URL, and apply the same method for channels-3, 4, 5, and 6, where the ports used will be 20003, 20004, 20005, 20006.
Note: The monitor client feature should only be enabled on the initial TVU Transceiver that is distributing the streams. The secondary transceiver/decoder software does not require this feature to receive the streams.
Sending the decoder output to an SRT decoder
To send the decoder-1 output stream to an SRT decoder such as a VLC Player, complete the following steps:
- Open the decoder setting page and scroll to the Monitor tab.
- Click the Status drop-down tab and select Enable.
- Select the server radio button.
- Click the Protocol drop-down menu and select SRT.
- Leave the default port as 20001 for the decoder-1 channel-1 output stream.
- Enter port 20002 for the channel-2 output stream
- Enter port 20003 for the channel-3 output stream
- Enter port 20004 for the channel-4 output stream
- Enter port 20005 for the channel-5 output stream
- Enter port 20006 for the channel-6 output stream
- Click Apply to save your settings.
- In the VLC Player under Media > Network stream tab, enter the following SRT URL. Then, click Play:
srt://IP_address_dec:port
For example, enter srt://192.168.88.230:20001 if you are using the channel-1 decoder-1 output stream.
Note: The last digit of the port number is equal to the channel number. Therefore port 20001 is for channel 1, port 20002 is for channel 2, etc., up to port 20006 for channel 6.
If the operator uses the return video feed, the SDI IN cables must be removed and replaced with the SDI OUT cables on ports 3 and 4 for both the encoder and decoder.
If the encoder receives SDI video input on ports 3 and 4, the operator must remove the SDI video input cables and connect them to ports 3 and 4 on the decoder.
To view the return video feed on the SDI monitor, remove the SDI out cables from ports 3 and 4 on the decoder and connect them to ports 3 and 4 on the encoder.
Use WebRTC for web GUI preview
The RPS v6.3 and higher 4-channel configuration also supports WebRTC for a web GUI preview where the latency for preview is as low as 200 ms.
Low Latency mode for fixed lines
The RPS v6.3 and higher 4-channel configuration supports a low latency mode of up to 0.6 seconds between the encoder and decoder for closed and open networks.
