Option
Description
Notes
Unsolicited Status
Enable the Decoder to send a periodic status packet to
the
Send Status Address
described below.
Send Status Address
When
Unsolicited Status
is enabled, the Decoder sends
a periodic status packet to the IP address specified
here.
Status Interval (secs)
Determine how often (in seconds) the unit transmits
status packets.
Discovery Packet
Transmit
Enable the N-Series multicast discovery service (which
is used to identify units).
This is useful for larger network integrations when
broadcast packets will not cover the entire network.
Enabled by default.
Discovery Interval
(secs)
Determine how often (in seconds) the unit transmits
discovery packets.
Serial Master Enable
Enable this device to be the server to the
designated client.
Once set in master mode, outside serial commands
will be ignored.
Serial Client Address
Enter the IP address of the serial client device.
IR Command Holdoff
Set the delay between IR command portions. The
default setting is 25 ms.
IR commands are sent in two parts. This setting is the
time (in milliseconds) between transmission of part
one and part two. The second part of the command is
inverted for confirmation purposes.
IR Repeat Holdoff
Set the repeat delay between IR commands. The default
setting is 90 ms.
This is the amount of time before a new command is
sent. For example, when pressing and holding the
volume button on a remote control, this is how long
until the command is repeated.
IR Compatability
Mode
Enable to set the IR compatibility mode commands.
The default mode is disabled
IGMP Joins on Stream
Loss
Enable to send Internet Group Management Protocol
(IGMP) join messages when no incoming stream is
detected.
IGMP Join Interval
Delay in seconds between sending IGMP join messages
(if
IGMP Joins on Stream Loss
is enabled).
Auto Sync Control
Enable synchronization of vertical sync with the
network.
Enable this option when using multiple Decoders (e.g,
when building a video wall) that must be
synchronized together.
Auto Sync Rate
Set the rate at which the vertical sync adjusts.
Auto sync works by shifting the output clock time as
fast as possible. If the clock rate is pulled too fast,
some monitors flicker and have problems.
Auto Sync Max Pull
Set the limit the auto sync can pull the frame rate (in
thousandths of a percent).
For example, with a value of 1100, a 60 Hz input can
be pulled to produce an output rate of between
59.934 Hz and 60.066 Hz.
Maintain Aspect Ratio
When scalers are enabled, enabling this check box
maintains the source’s aspect ratio.
Enable SNMP
Enable to allow the device to handle Simple
Network Management Protocol (SNMP) queries.
Will need to provide the MIB file to the IT
department for use.
Ultra Low Latency Mode
This mode is used when the network is
extremely robust to achieve even lower latency
from end to end
The network needs to be extremely resilient and this
can cause the decoder to flash if the network
encounters errors.
Interleaved Multicast
Streams
Enables a multicast format which interleaves video and
audio streams.
In order for N-Series devices to communicate with
each other, their multicast settings must be
compatible.
Low Power Mode
Enable to enable low power mode and disable all video
and audio.
When enabled, the unit draws less power and
produces less heat. It also comes back up much
quicker than a full power down. Must be disabled for
the unit to work again.
Frames of Latency
Number of Frames to add to output video
