Displaying Stream Content
Overview
The MAX-CSE Media Encoder can currently stream A/V signals and direct them to IP-enabled devices
capable of interpreting and displaying the incoming MPEG data using either RTP or UDP Transport
Protocols. These outgoing signals can be displayed by:
A VG-Series Modero Touch Panel (supporting MPEG-2/MPEG-4 streams)
A computer running third-party multi-media player capable of supporting UDP/RTP
streaming protocols.
At this time, we are recommending using the open-source VLC Media Player® (version
0.8 or higher).
Requirements for Receiving Streamed Content
To receive and display content via a Modero panel:
Verify you have installed the latest version of TPDesign4 version 2.6 or higher on your PC.
Updates are available from the

Panel Design Tools
section of the website. This application is needed to create the necessary
page (popup page) used to display the incoming MPEG audio/video stream, identify the IP of
the source MAX-CSE, and define the target audio/video ports on the panel.
Verify you have installed the latest firmware on your target Modero panel. Updates are
available from the

section of the website.
Modero VG-Series firmware version 2.55.12 or earlier only supports
MPEG-2 streaming media (using UDP).
MPEG-4 is only supported by the latest VG-Series Modero panel firmware.
It is necessary to understand that Modero firmware is configured to look for audio on a port
whose value is two greater than that set for the video port. When configuring the Target Video
and Target Audio ports within the MAX-CSE’s UI Stream Profiles page, the value entered
into the
Target Audio
field must be exactly 2 above the value entered into the
Target Port
(video) field.
If you enter a
Target Port
value of
5000
, when using RTP, you must enter a value
of
5002
into the
Target Audio Port
field.
If using UDP, only the
Target Port
(video) field is user-definable because both the video
and audio are sent out by the CSE as one stream and therefore there is no reason to define
a separate audio port. Entering a value of
5000
into this field will, by default, cause the
target Modero panel to look for the incoming audio portion of the stream on the same
port as the video (port
5000
).
Obtain the IP Address being used by the target Modero panel by locating the
IP Address
field
on the firmware’s
System Settings
page.
Determine what is the available data rate for the network on which the encoder currently
resides. This information will determine what encoder profile can be used on the outgoing
If using RTP (as both the Target Port and the Target Audio Port for the split stream) it
is strongly recommended that this port number be an even value.
Using odd numbered port values will cause the stream to not be properly recognized
by the target Modero panel.
