Video Encoder Configuration Page
The top panel of the video encoder configuration page (
a
on figure

) provides the
following information:
•
Name
— This field displays the name that is applied to the video port, that is, the name
of the image stream. The name is displayed next to the video icon in the configuration
panel of the device page. Note that this need not be the same as the name applied to
the physical unit itself. You can change the name to a more meaningful value for your
installation. Change the device name as follows:
1.
Highlight the existing device name.
2.
Type the new name.
3.
Click the
update
button.
NOTE:
Spaces within names can cause issues when controlling the system
using a third-party control system. Extron recommends avoiding spaces
within names..
