Notes
1. If the front panel display shows
INVALID VIDEO
, the incoming
video is not correct for the input
type and resolution settings. If the
front panel display shows
INVALID
AUDIO
, the HDMI embedded audio
source is not available or not PCM
(uncompressed).
2. This encoder will only support the
specific video resolutions outlined
in the Specifications table.
3. This encoder does not support
HDMI copy protection (HDCP). All
HDMI sources must be un-encryp-
ted.
4. Composite video is supported -
use the Component Y (green-
colored) input connector.
5. Closed-captioning data is
automatically extracted when the
encoder is in Composite mode. All
other modes require a captioned
composite video source input to
the Caption connector.
6. Firmware updates may be re-
quired for MEQ1000 or EH24
chassis. MEQ1000s must be up-
dated to v1.4 or later. EH24s must
be updated to v2.3 or later.
