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.
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.
Upscaling and downscaling are fully supported.
Seamless Switching
The N2400 Series supports seamless switching capability if the scalers in the Decoders are enabled. If the scalers are off, all of the
sources
must have the same resolution and refresh rate of the Encoder.
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 common cell on the matrix, and click the
Take
button. See
Figure 18
for an example.
Enabling this cell causes the Decoder named
Conf Rm Dec
to listen
to the Encoder named
Conference Rm Encoder
.
