(Media Gateway only) Due to the upgrade to the HMG/HSG operating system, the hash function used for pairing with HMP has changed from SHA-1 to SHA-512. Therefore, ensure the major versions of both your HMP and Gateways are the same. For instance, if your HMP is at version 4.0+, your Media Gateways must also be at version 4.0+.

• Pairing the Gateways with Media Platform

Due to the upgrade to the HMG/HSG operating system, changed implementation for U.S. Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) Publication 140-2 and high-security (STIG) environments. (The STIG enable button was removed.) Please contact your Haivision Support representative to enable FIPS and STIG in your installation.

• Security

Due to the upgrade to the HMG/HSG operating system, MongoDB 5.0+ requires CPU support for AVX and AVX2 instructions. Therefore, ensure your virtual machine's CPU supports those instructions. For example, the following is sample output after issuing the lscpu | grep avx command that confirms support:

• Installing the Virtual Appliance

• Known Issues and Solutions

Due to the upgrade to the HMG/HSG OS and OpenSSL 3, any PKCS#12-formatted certificates generated with an older OpenSSL version must be converted before they can be added to HMG/HSG 4.0+.

• Importing and Activating a Certificate

• Convert Unsupported Certificates to Use in HMG/HSG 4.0+

Added IPv6 support throughout. This addition equips HMG and HSG with dual-stack functionality, allowing you to harness the benefits of both IPv4 and IPv6 protocols, ensuring long-term network compatibility and facilitating the transition to the IPv6 addressing scheme.

• Configuring the Network

• Network Settings

Added support for RTP stream redundancy (SMPTE 2022.7 "Seamless Protection Switching of RTP Datagrams"). This feature enhances the reliability of video transmission by seamlessly switching between redundant RTP streams, ensuring uninterrupted content delivery even in the face of network disruptions.

• Section 2 Source

For increased network security, ICMP redirect messages are now disabled by default. A toggle was added to re-enable them.

• Network Settings

Release of the new Generation 3 version of the Gateway 100 appliance.

• Gateway 100 Appliance Quick Start Guide

• Section 4 Destinations

• Destinations Object Model

Added Lost Packets to the available statistics of RTP source streams.

• Stream Statistics Field Descriptions

Updated to SRT version 1.5.3

• N/A

Added support for IPv6.

Note

SRT streams in rendezvous mode are not supported when IPv6 addressing is used.
