Concatenation Option
7
(SD Only)
Use this option if the signal has been coded, then decoded and is about to
be coded again. It reduces picture degradation associated with multiple
generation compression encoding. Setting this option may give better
results as it tries to line up the I-frames. Only available to video via the
SDI input. See Application Note, ST.AN.1110, Near Loss-less MPEG
Concatenation Without Helper Signals.
PID Option
The option is used for entering or updating video PIDs, as required. Enter a
PID then press the Enter softkey to accept it.
To be DVB compliant, PIDs below 32 are reserved. Therefore PIDs 32 to
8191 are available for use. In the event of a clash, one of the PIDs will be
changed by the Encoder’s internal checking algorithm.
Component Tag Option
This item defines the optional component tag to be assigned to this video
stream.
Reflex Enable Option
The option is used to enable (On) or disable (Off) Reflex. It is only
available with VBR licence keys M2/ESO2/VBR and M2/ESO2/HDVBR.
Indicated Bit-Rate Option (SD Only)
This option controls the video bit-rate that is signalled in the transport
stream. If set to 'Max Value' the maximum possible bit-rate for the profile
and encoding mode is signalled. This is the way all previous generations of
TANDBERG Encoders have operated. If set to 'Actual Value', and the
encoding mode is not a seamless mode, then the bit-rate signalled is the
actual video bit-rate set on the Encoder.
There is also a 2 Mbit/s option which signals 2 Mbit/s for use with a
particular decoder range which requires this value.
Copyright Option
This option indicates whether the information in the bit-stream is shown to
be protected by copyright. It is for status only and cannot be changed.
Original Option
This option indicates whether the bit-stream is an original or a copy of an
original bit-stream. It is for status only and cannot be changed.
Scene Cut Detection
In SD mode, this is a status only option. The Encoder detects that a scene
change has happened and so intra-codes some or all of the blocks. That is,
the picture is coded without any reference to previous frames.

Auto Concatenation is only available when software option M2/ESO2/ACON is purchased.
