SAME Quick Start Guide

This is a quick start guide to help you to get SAME DSP Engine up and running. The SAME DSP Engine should be configured in the following order.

1. Install the Hardware Necessary to run STAGE

Install on the network the required:

  • Hardware devices (Hosts).

2. Pre-Installation Checklist

Install, configure, and validate the following network services / items.

3. Software Installation and Management

Install Riedel Software Manager. See RSM Quick Start Guide.

Use the Riedel Software Manager to install the necessary software:

4. Login to STAGE

Login to STAGE to start configuring the platform. See STAGE Start & Login.

5. Network Management

Define Network Scopes and multicast address ranges. See STAGE Network Management.

6. System Management

View system information, install product licenses, and adjust global settings. See STAGE System Management.

Also, enable NMOS and enable Riedel Discovery. See SAME_ NMOS-IS04 Configuration.

7. User Management

Create Credentials for / enroll the STAGE users who will have access this system. Or connect STAGE to an authentication service. See STAGE User Management.

8. System Commissioning

For the SAME DSP Engine, the goal of System Commissioning is to associate hardware audio inputs and outputs to virtual devices in STAGE that represent this hardware, using the following sequence.

  • Registration: Find and configure network connected devices and servers to make them available for use by STAGE. Register Discovered Hosts to specific locations and configure host parameters.

This includes creating Unmanged Hosts in STAGE for non-NMOS audio interface devices; this is a device that STAGE is unable to configure or control. However, this host can send and receive AES67 audio stream(s).

See STAGE Registration.

  • Configuration: Configure each registered host type, including the network(s) the Host is using in Network Scope. See SAME_ Host Configuration.

    • NMOS-IS04: Shows the NMOS configuration details.

    • Unmanaged Host: For each unmanaged host:

      • Set the SDP files each unmanaged host is to use.

      • Set the Producers and Consumers; the audio interface configuration details about the streams the device can process; for example, bit rate, bit depth, and the number of supported channels.

    • SAME DSP Engine: Set the DSP volumes to be made available to SAME DSP users. These volumes are audio processing elements such as limiters, mixers, generators, and so on that you will use to process audio signals in the SAME DSP Engines.

  • I/O Management: Map Hardware Devices to Virtual Devices for use in Jobs. For example, Virtual Devices are used to represent elements of the real world (e.g. Mono Microphone) that are not directly visible to STAGE. This assigns display names to signals to give them a meaning in a production environment. See SAME_ I/O Management.

9. Creating Jobs

Prepare, configure and activate resources for you next production or live event. For more information about Jobs, see SAME_ Jobs.

  • Job Setup: Create the collection of resources (Virtual Devices) required for a production or a live event. A Job is created from elements of the volumes you have previously created. See SAME_ Job Setup.

  • Job Activation: Launch a production. See SAME_ Job Activation.

10. Audio Pilot

When working with SAME DSP Audio Tools within Jobs, use Audio Pilot to:

  • Manage the available SAME DSP configurations and to access their control user interfaces for all running Jobs.

  • Select the monitoring source to listen to it.

See SAME_ Audio Pilot.

11. System Health

Review events and monitor live metrics collected from managed devices and services. See STAGE System Health.
