VBrick Systems VB5000, VB6000, VB4000 manual Destination

Destination	• Remote COM1 using Slot1 Video Endpoint. This means that all
	serial data originating at the COM1 port being configured is sent
	to the COM1 port of the VBrick identified as the Slot1 video
	source (if Slot1 is a decoder) or to the Slot1 video destination
	VBrick (if Slot1 is an encoder).
	• Remote COM2 using Slot1 Video Endpoint. Slot1 Destination 1
	only. Same as above except Initiator destination is COM2.
	• Dedicated. When Passthrough State is set as Initiator and the
	Destination is Dedicated, the VBrick appliance (whose serial port
	is the destination of this COM port) can be configured and
	identified using either an IP address or a host name.
	• Slot1 MetaData. If Meta Data is enabled on the Encoder > Video
	page, the appliance captures incoming data from the serial port
	and inserts it into the stream as metadata. In a typical application,
	a GPS receiver connected to a VBrick can insert ASCII strings
	representing map coordinates into a stream. This information is
	saved and sent as metadata with the video. For this feature to
	function properly, captions must be enabled in the player (Play >
	Captions and Subtitles). This feature is disabled when the
	appliance is in Edit mode.
	The data is inserted when it reaches the maximum number of
	characters (58 for MPEG-2) or when the Idle Timeout (see below)
	between characters is reached. Note that a four-character TEXT
	command and a trailing space are auto-inserted before any
	metadata. The Media Player recognizes the TEXT command and
	displays the metadata. This feature works for all passthrough port
	baud rates but can only accept continuous serial data at rates up to
	9600 baud; at higher rates there must be some idle time between
	metadata strings.
	• Slot2 MetaData. Same as above except the serial port data is
	inserted as metadata in the video stream from the Slot2 encoder.
Baud Rate	Rate of Passthrough port. Rate can be set to the following (Default =
	9600): 110, 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 3600, 4800, 7200, 9600, 14400,
	19200, 28800, 38400, 57600, 115200.
Stop Bits	Number of stop bits for Passthrough port (1 or 2).
Parity	None, Even, Odd.
RTS Control	Force Off, Force On or Automatic. If automatic, the control will be
	on when Passthrough is active. DTR and RTS are not available for
	COM2. Under no conditions are RTS or DTR controls passed
	through end-to-end. All control handling is local. DTR and RTS are
	not available for COM2.
DTR Control	Force Off, Force On or Automatic. If automatic, the control will be
	On when Passthrough is active. Not available on COM2. See note
	above.
