2. Controlling your Videon Device(s)
Page 13
Note:
If you are streaming between two Videon devices, we recommend configuring the
stream via
Decoder Stream Settings
. The instructions in this section apply to the use of
third party decoders.
To configure unicast output via the encoder, follow these steps:
•
Select a protocol, rtp:// or udp://. rtp:// is recommended for more reliability and
udp:// is recommended for less latency.
•
Manually enter the IP address of the third party decoder device (See Section
2.2). The third party decoder must accept RTP over UDP (rtp://) or Raw UDP
(udp://) delivery of an MPEG-2 Transport Stream containing H.264 or H.265
video and the selected audio codec or compression type.
•
Manually enter the listening port value for the third party decoder device.
Configure the decoder device to receive on the same port value as well.
File Recording
: Allows you to record video to a USB storage device. Supports fat32 file
systems.
•
The default saved filename is VID. Filename will be appended with a timestamp
when recording is saved to the storage device.
•
Storage status is shown based on used vs. total available storage and in terms of
the estimated recording time remaining at the current bitrate.
•
A list of files can be seen and downloaded from the “
Files on USB root
”
dropdown.
•
Clicking “
Safely Remove”
ensures the recording processes have completed
before the storage device is removed. This prevents file corruption.
•
Files saved to the storage device are saved in .ts format.
FTP Upload
: Allows you to upload recorded files to an FTP site
•
Credentials needed: FTP server address, authentication username/password
and FTP filepath (optional).
•
Tech Tip
: Credentials can (and should!) be tested by clicking
Test Connection.
•
“
Delete file from USB after upload
” will remove the recorded file from the USB
storage device once FTP upload has completed.
•
FTP upload history gives a record of what files have be uploaded to the
authenticated server.
•
Note
: FTP upload only occurs for a file being actively recorded. Previously
recorded files cannot be selected for upload to the FTP server.
Encoder Settings
Through this dialog, you can set the
Encoder Settings
for the device.
Encoder Settings
control how the audio and video are compressed/encoded (e.g. bitrate, scaling, etc.)
Video Input Resolution
: Displays the resolution and framerate of the video source
connected to the
HDMI IN or SDI IN
port, depending on which is selected. Possible input
resolutions are 2160p30, p25, p24; 1080p60, p59.94, p50, p30, p29.97, p25; 720p60,
p59.94, p50; 576p50; 480p60
Video Scaling
: Select the scaling option you prefer.
•
Passthrough outputs the same resolution as the input.
