To ensure reliable and secure video streaming, you can configure the Makito X4 decoder to receive redundant transport paths. The Makito X4 decoder supports SMPTE 2022-7 style Path Redundancy in SRT Listener and Caller modes. The same content is sent over two SRT connections and network paths. In the case of failure on one transport link, the decoder will seamlessly switch over to the other link to avoid glitches and interruptions on the video output. For optimal performance, this feature requires that the Makito X4 Decoder (as well as the source encoder, Haivision Media Gateway (HMG), or SRT Gateway) be equipped with dual NICs.
From the Stream settings, select the TS over SRT protocol and Caller mode.
Select either Active-Active or Active-Backup Path Redundancy.
Fill in the parameters for both Paths 1 and 2. See 'Path Redundancy' in SRT Stream Settings.
If dual NICs are available, select the Network Interface for each path, and fill in the remaining parameters in the Path Redundancy section. See 'Path Redundancy' in SRT Stream Settings.
If necessary, fill out any remaining stream parameters. See SRT Stream Settings.
Click Apply (if editing an existing stream) or click Add Stream (if adding a new stream).
If the stream is not yet active, bind it to a decoder. For details, see Configuring Streams>Adding a Stream>Step 9.
Click the Statistics icon to see how the SRT streams are performing. The following example shows the graphical statistics display for redundant transport streams:

Note
You canselect the paths you wish to display on the Delay and Bandwidth Used graphs by (de)selecting Path 1 or Path 2.
The CSV filemerges both paths. You can retrieve the CSV file by clicking the Download CSV button in the top right corner of the statistics page.
