CHAPTER 1: Installation
Introduction
Overview
The iAM-VIDEO-2 and iAM-VIDEO-2-MPEG units are 2RU multichannel multi-source
audio/video monitors with multiple standard copper connections and multiple SFP
module options facilitating high density coax and optical fiber connections. The iAM-
VIDEO-2 includes a 3G SDI SFP module and it can monitor both video and audio
from it. An optional module will allow decoding of Dolby D, DD+, and E streams.
The iAM-VIDEO-2-MPEG includes an MPEG module, so it accepts MPEG Video
transport streams over ASI or IP. Both products have options for VoIP formats
including MPEG2/4 TS and SMPTE 2022-6, 3G/HD/SD-SDI, and a growing range of
additional I/O options via an SFP interface. Refer to the Specifications section of
this manual or contact Wohler Sales for more information.
The iAM-VIDEO is compact and simple to operate. It has touch screen LCD displays
providing high resolution meters, menus and basic monitor controls. Any channel
(or group of channels that are clustered together) from any source stream may be
audibly monitored and summed with the other selected channels.
Setups are created and configured using a web browser over a network connection
to the integral web server of the iAM-VIDEO. Setup configurations can easily be
copied to other iAM-VIDEO units.
Each iAM-VIDEO can be configured with Presets, which are complete monitoring
configurations. Very little about the configurations of those predefined setups can
be changed from the front panel. This prevents less experienced or hurried
operators from making accidental setup changes that could compromise their usage
of the unit. It also reduces operator training to a minimum.
