Video Transports
Open Media Transport (OMT) graphics output
Open Media Transport is a newer way to send video over the network, and the Render Engine can send VRA graphics over it. OMT output is in beta and switched on per station, so talk to us before you plan a show around it.
What VRA does with Open Media Transport (OMT).
Same graphics, another transport
OMT is an output on the same Render Engine that sends NDI and SDI. Nothing changes in the graphics themselves.
Your own source name
Keep the automatic name or type one your receiving system will recognise.
Rendered in the studio
The Render Engine draws the picture on the studio machine, whichever transport carries it.
How to set it up.
Requirements
- OMT switched on for your station.
- A compatible Output Player and OMT receiver.
- A tested network path and video format for the intended output.
Ask us to switch on OMT for your station and check your installed Output Player.
Open the player settings and enable OMT.
Keep the automatic name or set an output name.
Test the signal with your intended receiver before using it in a production workflow.
Open Media Transport (OMT) questions
Why can't I see OMT in my output settings? +
OMT is switched on per station. Ask us to check it for your station and installed player.
Should I use OMT instead of NDI or SDI? +
Talk to us about your receiver first. OMT is in beta; NDI and SDI have documented production setup guides.
Visual Radio Assist
About Open Media Transport (OMT).
OMT is a third output on the Render Engine, installed in the studio as the Output Player app, next to NDI and SDI. It renders the same graphics; only the transport changes. The settings are short: switch OMT on for a player, then keep the automatic name or type your own. There is no device or group selection.
OMT is in beta, switched on per station and has no public setup guide. For a production setup today, NDI and SDI through DeckLink are the documented routes out of the Render Engine.
