streams are enabled as inputs to the multiplexor.
Sources may include
network streams such as IPTV or an RTSP

and digital signage 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

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

but each entry will need to be configured to be
available as a mux input source. Configuration
varies based upon tuner type, international
standards, and geography, but all will need a
name, frequency, and possibly some other
tuner specific values. Once configured and enabled, the
entire transport is available as a mux source. Terrestial
tuners include a scanning feature. Use this to scan all
available channels on that antenna feed. Then select from the list to assign channels to each tuner.
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
