Overview

This unit is a system for live streaming on the Internet. It receives streaming video transmitted from a camcorder which has a network function, and outputs SDI signals for live streaming.

The unit is comprised by an RX application that receives streaming video, and a Connection Control Manager that manages the connections between the camcorder and the unit. The Connection Control Manager has a web GUI that can be displayed using a web browser on a client PC, and can be used to manage multiple connections simultaneously.

System Configuration Examples

This section shows live streaming system configuration examples using the PWS-110RX1A.

The following example shows a small-scale system using only one unit. The unit acts as both streaming receiver and connection manager.

    B --> C["PWS-110RX1A (receiver/connection manager)"]
    C --> D["SDI device"]
    D --> E["Client PC"]

Additional PWS-110RX1A units acting as streaming receivers can be used.

For streaming transmission, a camcorder connected to a CBK-WA100/101 Wireless Adaptor or a camcorder with wireless function is required. For details about supported camcorders, consult your Sony sales or service representative.

Name and Function of Parts

Front View

①On/Standby button and indicator

Switches the unit on/off (standby state). Connecting the power cord places the unit in standby state, and the indicator turns on red. Pressing the On/Standby button while in standby state turns on the unit and the indicator turns on green. Pressing and holding the On/Standby button for two seconds switches the unit to standby state, and the indicator changes to red. To turn the unit on again after switching from On state to standby state, when the indicator is red, press and hold the On/Standby button for three seconds or longer. The indicator goes out when the power cord is disconnected.

② SYSTEM indicator

Indicates the status of the unit.

Lit green: Operating normally

Flashing green (once per second): System is booting or transitioning to standby state

Flashing orange (once per second): A warning has been generated.

High-speed flashing red (four times per second): An error has occurred.

③Front panel LED

Turns on according to settings in the web GUI. The LED is configured using [001: LINE LED] in the [Settings] page on the Maintenance screen.

④USB connectors (front panel)

Connects to a keyboard and mouse for initializing the unit. USB devices not described in this document are not supported.

Notes

• Both USB ports on the front panel support power delivery (900 mA).
• Use SuperSpeed USB cables.

Front View (Panel Removed)

When the SYSTEM indicator or web GUI indicates an error, you can remove the front panel to check the status of the hardware components.

To remove the front panel, loosen the screws on the left and right sides and pull the panel towards you.

Usage Precautions

Power supply precautions

If the unit is suddenly turned off during operation, data loss may occur. To maintain data integrity, the use of an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) is recommended. To disconnect the power cord or turn off the breaker, always press the On/Standby button on the unit to stop the unit before proceeding.

Components with limited lifespan

The fan and battery are consumable parts that will need periodic replacement. When operating at room temperature, a normal replacement cycle will be about 2 to 5 years. However, this replacement cycle represents only a general guideline and does not imply that the life expectancy of these parts is guaranteed. For details on parts replacement, contact your dealer.

Network precautions

Depending on the operating environment, unauthorized third parties on the network may be able to access the system. We strongly recommend configuring all of the passwords for security purposes. Configure all the passwords following the procedure on page 16.

USB device precautions

The unit does not support UASP (USB Attached SCSI Protocol).
