inappropriate for your installation and may need reconfiguring. In this section we will review how to
make small changes to these settings to get your system running as quickly as possible.
Overview
The top level page of the WebUI provides an
overview of the MX-100 scalable multiplexor.
The multiplexor combines digital AV streams
from a variety of sources into groups and
transmits them with the correct signaling and
timing to the appropriate output. Outputs
may have constraints, such as bitrate and
signaling, that must be configured to operate
correctly. To preserve resources, inputs are
only processed if enabled. A mapping
between inputs and outputs is shown in the
overview menu of the MX-400 WebUI. The
sources (aka enabled inputs) are shown on the left, outputs are shown on the right. The sources tab
groups the source transports by the input while the output tab shows this mapping grouped by
destination (output). There is a variety of information on these pages that can be valuable when trying
to diagnose a problem. Error indicators are shown when a problem has been detected with a
particular input or output stream. On the screen image above there is an error
showing that the
output transport is oversubscribed. i.e. Utilization is over 100%. This should be rectified to avoid video
artifacts.
Fingernail images captured from the video are periodically updated next to each input/output. This
helps to provide context when configuring your system. These update slowly so as to ensure they do
not steal any computational resources from the system.
