Ross Video HDMI-RX
This connector manages and controls the Ross Video Newt HDMI-RX. The connector only supports the Newt UHD-over-IP to HDMI 2.0 Gateway configuration mode. Other Newt configuration modes require a separate connector.
The user interface of this connector is similar to that of the Ross Video dashboard.

Connections
HTTP CommandAPI connection
This connector uses an HTTP connection and requires the following input during element creation:
HTTP CONNECTION:
- IP address/host: The polling IP or URL of the destination.
- IP port: The IP port of the destination.
- Bus address: If the proxy server has to be bypassed, specify bypassproxy.
Web Interface
The web interface is only accessible when the client machine has network access to the product.
How to use
The element created with this connector consists of the data pages detailed below.
General
This page displays general information about the device, such as the Device Name, Current Firmware Version, Product, FPGA Version and more.
There are also buttons available that allow you to trigger a Reboot and to reset the device to the Factory Defaults.
Discovery
This page displays general information about the current control protocols of the device, such as the Interface and the Port Number. It currently supports Ravenna, RTSP, Ember, and NMOS
Ethernet I/O
This page contains information and settings for the two Ethernet interfaces, NET 1 and NET 2, including mode, IP, subnet mask, gateway, and status parameters such as the Temperature, the Wavelength, and the Part Number.
There is also a page button that provides access to the Control RJ-45 Configuration subpage, which contains controls for Mode, IP, Subnet Mask and Gateway. However, note that if an interface is configured for DHCP, it will not be possible to modify Mode, Static IP, Subnet and Gateway.
Currently, interface RX and TX bandwidth is not supported in the JSON API.
Timing
This page contains various PTP-related parameters, such as the Role Status, Sync Interval, Announce Interval, Announce Receipt Timeout and more. It also contains configuration parameters such as the PTP Profile, Domain, Priority 1 and Priority 2.
Receivers
This page contains the Receivers table, which displays Video and Audio Streams as they are added as connections.
It also includes the Network Stream Groups table, which adds a group for every network stream added, for re-adding at a later time.
Via the Add Stream page button, you can access the Add Network Stream subpage, where you can configure and send a stream via the Stream Configuration table, and configure the additional group parameters. When a stream is added, it is also added to the Network Stream Groups Table. There are two ways to send a stream: via this subpage or via the Network Stream Groups table. You can also update an existing stream from the Receivers Table by selecting a session/stream to modify in the drop-down lists.
Note:
- To add a stream, you must fill in all of the individual parameters as well as the stream configuration columns for the stream you want to add (except for Video Format for audio streams and Number of Audio Streams (1 or 2 groups of 8 channels)).
- This connector only supports assignment of Audio Streams in 8 channel blocks.
Via the X-Connect page button, you can access the X-Connect subpage, where you can view the cross-connection matrix.
PattGen
This page allows you to add a pattern. The information for added patterns is displayed in the Patterns table.
Web Interface
This page displays the web interface of the device. Note that the client machine has to be able to access the device, as otherwise it will not be possible to open the web interface.
