Switching and Scaling Options
N-Series Encoders and Decoders make up a true AV matrix solution. In other words, one input can go to any or all outputs.
Both Encoders and Decoders have internal scaling capabilities. Keep the following in mind:
The input of an Encoder is the video and/or audio signal going into the Encoder.
The output of an Encoder is the network stream.
The input of a Decoder is the network stream.
The output of a Decoder is the digital video and/or audio being transmitted out to the display device.
NOTE:
Cropping and scaling features are not available when input is 3840x2160@50, [email protected], 3840x2160@60,
4096x2160@50, [email protected], or 4096x2160@60.
Seamless Switching
The N2X51 Series supports seamless switching capability if the scalers in the Decoders are all set to the same resolution and
refresh rate. If the scalers are off, all of the
sources
must have the same resolution and refresh rate.
To get streams onto a Decoder, use the
Video Matrix
tab to route video from an Encoder to a Decoder. This works seamlessly if the
previously mentioned settings are true. All you have to do is click the intersecting cell on the matrix, and click the
Take
button. See
for an example.
