located within the same local network segment.

SAFARI Montage strongly recommends that video sources be connected directly to the SD/HD MPEG
Digital Encoder with the supplied cabling. SAFARI Montage cannot provide support for third-party
distribution and/or switching equipment placed inline between the video source and the encoder.

The encoder is designed to work with input sources set to 30 or 60 FPS. Please make certain your video
source equipment is set for 30 or 60 frames per second.
