Anevia Flamingo 400A
Anevia Flamingo streamers are designed to transmit TV and radio channels from DVB sources to an IP network.
With this connector, you can monitor the inputs, services and broadcasts, as well as manage configurations.
About
The connector uses a SOAP interface and was designed using the Live SOAP API and the System API.
Please check the Supported firmware versions table below to select which connector corresponds to the device's software.
Note that certain older versions may not function properly, because there is no backwards compatibility as of API version 2.2.5.
Backward compatibility is not guaranteed between different connector ranges.

Installation and configuration
Creation
HTTP connection
This connector uses an HTTP connection and requires the following input during element creation:
- IP address/host: The polling IP of the device.
- Timeout per parameter: By default: 5000 (5 seconds). Increase this value if you experience problems with the services. For large systems, retrieving the service configuration information can take a while and timeouts can occur, affecting the table presentation. To avoid these timeouts (and retransmissions), increase this value.
Configuration
To make sure the element works properly, you must configure the web service user name and password on the General Settings page.
On the same page, you may also need to change the default location where configuration files are exported.
Usage
General
This page contains general information about the device, such as the supported SOAP APIs.
The Web Service Status parameter displays any possible errors returned by the server while polling. Note: If this status indicates an error, check the log file for details.
Inputs
This page displays a table with the equipment input. It contains information about the type of each input and its current status.
It is also possible to modify information for each input.
Interfaces
This page displays a table with the device interfaces. It contains information about each interface, such as its type and its current status.
Services
This page displays a table with the different services. Note that for large systems, retrieving the whole list of services can take some time.
The table displays the status of the services and the programs that are currently being broadcast.
Broadcasts
On this page, you can manage the available broadcasts. They are displayed in a table, where you can start, stop and delete them.
It is also possible to create a new broadcast. To do so, click the Create Broadcast page button and fill in the details on the pop-up page.
CAMs
This page displays a table with the Conditional Access Modules. The name assigned to the modules is also displayed, and it is possible to assign an input.
Tree Control
This page displays a tree view with the different inputs. For these inputs, you can see the services linked to the inputs, and for each service, you can see the broadcasts linked to the service.
Save/Load Menu
On this page, you can work with the configuration files. The following actions are possible: Export, Import, Save, Clear and Load.
To be able to work with these configuration files, make sure a default location has been assigned on the General Settings page.
