Option 

Description

Notes

Device Name

Enter a user-friendly name for the unit.

More descriptive names in this field help you organize 

and manage the SVSI system efficiently. Names 

based on the unit’s location and function are very 

useful. Some good examples are 

Lobby-Left-VGA 

(for 

left side of lobby, VGA input)

 

or

 CR201-HDMI 

(for

 

Conference Room 201, HDMI input). Keep in mind the 

matrices are organized alphanumerically.

TX Enable

Enable to broadcast the AV signals. Disable to turn off/

stop broadcasting. 

Stream

View/edit the current transmit stream number.

To better understand this setting, think of Encoders 

more like a channel on a cable box, rather than a 

traditional AV Matrix. Each Encoder must have a 

unique stream number, just like every channel must 

have a unique channel number (e.g., Food Network 

and HGTV cannot both be on channel 201). 

Video Source

Select which input port is encoding video. 

Selecting 

HDMI/VGA

 declares HDMI as the primary 

port and VGA as the secondary port (when there is no 

HDMI input). Selecting 

VGA only

 or 

HDMI only

 

disables the other video input port.

Audio Input Type

Select 

Unbalanced 

(single-ended) or 

Balanced

 analog 

audio input. 

Live/Local

Select live video or locally stored images for 

transmission onto the network. When video is not 

available, it automatically goes into local mode.

When video is not available, the most recently played 

local playlist is displayed.

Audio Sample Rate

Select the sample rate, in Hz, for the analog audio. 

Mute

Enable to stop the transmission of audio data onto the 

network.
