Decoder Setup
In normal usage the network attached Leivio Decoder is intended to provide a
comfortable and effective tool to output video and audio from the frequently changed
settings of the Leivio Encoder in routine operation.
Most of this decode process is more quickly handled by the unit than a operator. So
with no need for user intervention; we therefore have not included a web interface with
the Decoders. Once configured, the unit will wait for signal and start decoding on
receiving the first I frame in an standard IP MPEG-4 video stream. It is a very
powerful and highly optimized solution for high quality, low latency situations.
Set-up is the same as the encoder unit with a few important exceptions;
1.
no web interface or SNMP agent
2.
You only need to configure network address and either NTSC (default) or
PAL video output in terminal mode.
3.
The front panel Reset button, used for instant-on encoding, is on the decoders
an instant off switch.
4.
Unit outputs are both s-video and composite signal along with audio
constantly.
Otherwise, the electrical and connections are the same, except with the decoder they
are outputs.
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT NOT TO RUN A SIGINAL INTO THE DECODER.
IT DESTROYS THE UNIT AND IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY TERMS.
