Notes
Settings Lock
Enable to lock the Encoder IP Settings
If enabled, the user must disable the Settings Lock
before making any changes.
Input Level Gain Left/
Right
Select a PRE-ENCODE cut in the audio signal.
This can help prevent distortion of the audio when the
source is providing audio that is too loud/clipping.
Setting does
not
affect digital audio.
Audio Gain
Slide right to provide a POST-ENCODE boost in the
audio signal (to both left and right channels).
This can help compensate when the source is
providing a weak audio signal. Does not affect digital
audio.
Audio Gain Left/Right
Slide right to provide a POST-ENCODE boost in the left
or right channel’s audio signal.
This can help compensate when the source is
providing a weak audio signal. Does not affect digital
audio.
Microphone bias
Use to set the voltage bias of the microphone.
Different audio inputs require a different bias. Setting
choices are
2V
,
2.5V
,
3.3V
, and
Off
. The default is
Off
.
Audio Encrypt
Enable to encrypt the audio stream.
Encryption is on by default. Turn off encryption to
allow for compatibility with other devices that require
a decrypted stream.
Brightness
Use sliders to raise or lower RGB values of the Encoder
(POST-ENCODE).
Only affects analog video. Does not affect digital
video.
Input audio for
HostPlay
Enable to activate the input audio when the Live/Local
menu is set to one of the local images.
HostPlay for
Unsupported
Enable to cause the Encoder to go into HostPlay mode
whenever the source provides unsupported video.
Gratuitous ARP
Enable the Encoder to send a periodic Address
Resolution Protocol (ARP) packet to the network.
ARP Interval (secs)
Determine how often (in seconds) the unit transmits
gratuitous ARP packets.
Unsolicited Status
Enable the Encoder to send a periodic status packet to
the
Send Status Address
described below.
Send Status Address
When
Unsolicited Status
is enabled, the Encoder 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.
TTL
Select the Time To Live (TTL) for the transmit audio and
video streams.
Limits the lifespan of data on the transmit audio and
video streams (to improve performance).
DSCP #
Select the Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) for
the transmit audio and video streams.
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.
