Sources
The Sources page shows how devices and IP
streams are enabled as inputs to the multiplexor.
Sources may include
network streams such as IPTV or an RTSP
feed from a security camera
the MX-100 internal video server
and the HD capture device via the Video
Wrapper.
Network Sources
Network sources are shown on the Sources>Network tab. To add a network
source, click “New Source”. Specify a friendly name for the new source, this
will be used on other pages of this webUI. Specify the IP address (multicast
is accepted), the port, and which interface the source is available on. If the
source supports SMPTE2022, then select this option. When everything is
complete, click create. If the networked source is RTSP, such as an RTSP
security camera, click on the RTSP tab and enter the name and URL of the
camera. i.e. rtsp://username:[email protected]/stream1
Video Server
The Video Server creates TS streams from files uploaded to the MX-400 storage. The MX-400 does not
transcode these files dynamically, as such the TS files used by the video sever must be compatible with
both the target receiver and transport output. For example, if you were to create a stream for a US
CableTV QAM modulated output that stream should be MPEG2 (not h.264) encoded so that it is
compatible with the ATSC standard and can be used by ATSC TVs. West Pond provides a transcoding
web service, FlexDM, which simplifies the process of creating the appropriate files. Visit FlexDM.net for
more information.
