You can enable or disable video and/or audio by clicking the check box next to Source : When
enabled, the Source , Input , Signal , Proportions , Size , and Input fields can be edited.
Although the Cisco Digital Media Encoder 2000 is a two channel encoder, meaning you can only
capture from two physical audio and video sources at any given time, you can capture multiple
streaming formats and resolutions simultaneously from the same video source. To accomplish this,
the video source is seen as multiple inputs denoted by incrementing decimal values. They appear in
the following manner:
•
Osprey 560 Video Device 1.1
•
Osprey 560 Video Device 1.2
•
Osprey 560 Video Device 1.3
•
Osprey 560 Video Device 1.4
•
Osprey 560 Video Device 1.5
Warning: Ensure all of the encoders using the same video Proportion and Size settings also use the
same video and audio source settings . For example, all encoders capturing at Standard proportion
and CIF size are set to Osprey-560 Video Device 1.1 while encoders capturing at Standard
proportion but QCIF resolution are set to Osprey-560 Video Device 1.2 .
Set Input for both video and audio to match the connectors on the back of the Cisco Digital Media
Encoder 2000 to which you have connected your video and audio source. This would be either
Composite, S-Video or SDI for video input and Unbalanced , XLR Balanced , XLR AES/EBU or
SDI for audio input.
When you performed the First Start Setup , you determine if your video signal was NTSC or PAL.
The Signal field adds granularity for regional NTSC, PAL, and SECAM settings. If you are
uncertain which setting applies, refer to the owner’s manual for the video source you have connected
to the Cisco Digital Media Encoder 2000 hardware.
