KDS-EN3, KDS-DEC3 - Validating Your KDS-EN3 Setup
6.4
Validating Video and Audio Quality
Your decoder unit can only output video and audio as good as the quality received
by your encoder.
To validate the video and audio quality of your source and content:
Connect the source directly to the monitor and audio output device that is
used by your decoder
Use a different source to preview your content
Use
KDS-EN3
Manager
to change the local output method on your encoder
to
Use pass through
To validate the source capture by your encoder and your local output settings:
Use
KDS-EN3
Manager
to change the local output method on your encoder
to
Use confidence preview

Using Pass Through or Confidence Preview
For your encoder,
KDS-EN3
Manager
has two local output options:
Pass through
– When using pass through, your encoder outputs the video
and audio signals of your source directly to your monitor and audio output
device. While this is enabled, the local output settings of your encoder are
disabled.
Because the signal is direct from the source to the output devices:
There is no video output on the VGA connector (analog video output
connector) since there is no corresponding analog input on the
encoder
If the HDMI output device connected to your encoder does not support
audio output, your HDMI source may disable its audio output. Since no
audio is received at input, there is no audio for the encoder and all
decoders connected to this encoder
Confidence preview
– When using confidence preview, your encoder uses
the
KDS-EN3
Manager
video and audio local output and capture settings for
your encoder to output to your video and audio output devices. The local
output settings let you:
