Networked VGA Grid User Guide Configure encoding (HD Encoder channels)
To configure picture in picture,, complete these steps in the VGA Grid's Admin panel:
1. Login to the Admin panel as admin . See Connect to the Admin panel .
2. Click the Encoding link for your HD Encoder channel; the stream configuration page opens.
3. Ensure both DVI Channel and Video Channel sections are selected.
4. Scroll to the Video Channel section.
5. Select one of the picture in picture options.
6.
Hardware limits the position of the S-Video picture to align with a multiple of 32 pixels.
As a result, it's possible there is a small gap between the DVI/VGA and S-Video streams,
or that the S-Video stream is not perfectly right-aligned when superimposed over the
DVI/VGA stream.
7. Adjust the Video channel and DVI Channel frame sizes as needed to acheive the desired stream.
8. Click Apply .
Note that the maximum frame size supported by VGA Grid HD Encoders is 1920×1200. If the DVI source
frame size is already 1900×1200, the S-Video source cannot be streamed beside the DVI source.
Fine tune stream settings
Along with video/audio codecs and frame size, there are other configurable stream settings that affect quality
and bandwidth. Like with frame size selection, values for these settings can be a tradeoff between bandwidth
available and quality for stream viewers.
A table at the end of this section provides additional guidance for these settings.
