Device setup panel The Device setup panel allows a codec to be
configured as either an encoder or a decoder.
(see “Configure Encoders or Decoders“). The
panel consists of the followings:
• Device Type — Select create source,
create display, or (if the device is already configured) change device type.
• Mode:
• Enable — Normal operation; image transport is enabled.
• Disable — Image transport is disabled.
• Test — Select to suspend the active stream of the encoder and display a test
pattern on the SDI Out connector (item f in figure 2 and on page 7). See “Test
Pattern“ in the “Reference Information” section for the test patterns.
• Identify — Select (check) this box to overlay the device name (see “Device summary
panel“) on the content that is output on the rear panel SDI Out BNC connector.
• Source Identify (decoder only) — Select (check) this box to overlay the name of the
device that it is decoding (see “Device summary panel“).
• Data Interface — The selection defines which of the two network interfaces,
LAN port 1 (Cat6) or LAN port 2 (Fibre) to use for data transport.
• Multicast TTL — This value sets the Time To Live (TTL — the number of routers that the
multicast packet crosses between routed networks before it is dropped) for multicast
packets.
Configuration panel — or — NOTE: The icons displayed in this box are
available only after you create a
source or display.
The Configuration panel provides access to
