CORIOmaster & CORIOgrapher Help
Playing media and streams
If you have a Streaming media and 4K playback input module, you can play media items and video streams. Add up to 20 media items or streams to a play queue or saved playlist. Each Streaming media and 4K playback input module can play up to two simultaneous play queues
Manage your media and streams in CORIOgrapher™. Double-click the window you wish to play media or streams, and select (Media Player) Manage.
The media player is not available when you work offline.

To stream media from the internet or your network, you need to connect an Ethernet cable and configure the network settings for your Streaming media and 4K playback input module.
For best results, use Gigabit equipment and cables.

To turn any video source into a stream, you need an encoder. The encoder takes video and audio signals, converts them to an AVIP (Audio-Visual over Internet Protocol) signal, and sends them over your network. For example, you could encode and stream the signal from an endoscope, or from a camera in a lecture theater.
-
To play media directly from a USB drive, or copy media from a USB drive to internal storage, you need to connect a USB drive to your Streaming media and 4K playback input module.
Use a good quality, high-speed USB 3.0 drive.
- To play media saved in the internal storage of the Streaming media and 4K playback input module, you don't need to connect anything.
-
To play any kind of media you need to set up a video wall with a window pointing to your Streaming media and 4K playback input module.
You can manually add media streams from your network or from the internet. You can configure and add streams from an Encoder‑100.
Learn how to configure your Encoder‑100
To manually add a stream
If you know the URL of the stream and the stream is not hosted by an Encoder‑100, use this method.
-
In CORIOgrapher, double-click the window you wish to play streaming media, and select (Media Player) Manage.
-
Select IP Streams.
- Select Add IP Stream.
-
Enter a descriptive name and the URL of the media stream, and then select Add IP Stream.
- To edit the details of a media stream, select the stream and then select > Edit.
-
Edit the name or URL of the media stream.
Previewing the stream from your Encoder‑100
If you have an Encoder‑100 that is streaming, you can preview the stream.
-
Select the Encoder‑100, and then select > Preview.
You can add video clips, still images, and media streams to a play queue, up to a total of 20 items. Media items can be on a USB drive, in internal storage, streamed from your network, or streamed from the internet.
You can play audio embedded in video clips and media streams. You cannot play audio-only files.
You can also add a playlist to a play queue. When you add a playlist to a play queue, the playlist replaces all the items in the play queue.
You add all types of media, streams, and playlists the same way, when the play queue is playing, paused, or stopped.
-
In CORIOgrapher, double-click the window you wish to play streaming media, and select (Media Player) Manage.
-
Select your media source.
-
Drag media items and streams, or a playlist, into the play queue.

Choose a resolution for your play queue.
By default, your Encoder‑100 supplies a single stream to a single CORIOmaster. You can supply a multicast version of that stream to more than one CORIOmaster.
Adding a multicast stream from an Encoder‑100 to a play queue or playlist
-
You don't need to configure your Encoder‑100 to send a multicast stream, if your default address and TTL are correct for your network.
For more help, contact your network administrator.
- To add a multicast stream to the play queue, the play queue must be stopped.
- To add a multicast stream to a playlist, first select a playlist.
- Select IP Streams.
- Select the Encoder‑100 you want to add.
-
Select > Multicast > Add to play queue or Add to playlist.
Changing a single stream to a multicast stream
If you already added a single stream from an Encoder‑100 to the play queue or a playlist, you can change the single stream to a multicast stream.
- If the encoder is in a playlist, open the playlist.
- Select the encoder, and select > Edit.
-
Select RTSP Multicast.
For best results
If you send a multicast stream on a large network, tvONE™ recommends using equipment with IPv4 multicast addressing, and/or IGMP v2 support. For more information, contact your network administrator.
By default, still images play for 10 seconds, video clips play for the length of the clip, and streams play indefinitely, until the stream ends.
You can choose how long to play each media stream, video clip, or still image in the play queue.
- In the play queue, select the media item.
-
Select > Edit.
-
Edit the duration of the item and select Update Item.
The maximum duration is 23 hours, 59 minutes, and 59 seconds.
You can play streams with low latency.
- In the play queue, select the stream.
-
Select > Edit.
-
Select Low latency.
Repeat these steps for every item in the play queue that you want to play with low latency.
CORIOmaster automatically disables the audio of streams with low latency. If you want to listen to audio from your stream, clear Low latency.
