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

The Configuration panel provides access to the device configuration pages. Click on an icon to access the configuration page for that device. The example at right shows selecting an encoder.
