Appendix A – Quick Start Help
This section is provided to enable installers with a check list of things to do when installing the system.
1)
Mount the device and make all the required connections. Power the system on. For more
information follow the instruction above in the section: Setting up the system.
2)
Using Window File explorer, or equivalent, and select Network to find the MX-100. There will be
a device in “other devices” that has the same name as the model number. Double click on the
icon to access the WebUI. See Accessing the WebUI for more information on this topic
3)
Enable and configure Sources to the multiplexer. You need not configure them all at this point.
You can easily add more later.
a.
Sources may include Tuners, IPTV, RTSP cameras, Video Capture, or the Video Server
b.
Details for each are provide in the Sources section of the main document.
c.
When configuring a tuner source you will need information about the broadcast before
configuring.
i.
Cheat: Attach the antenna wire to the M1 monitor input and watch the monitor
results to find tunable frequencies. This will likely require a channel map change
in the monitor configuration. Remember to reconfigure M1 to monitor your
outputs before completing the setup of your system.
d.
When configuring the Video Server, be sure that your TS files are compatible with the
devices receiving the output of the MX-100CC. For example, if using and ATSC
modulated output you must use MPEG2 encoded files. ATSC devices will not decode
h.264 video.
e.
If enabling the Video Server source, try one of the preloaded MPEG2 or h.264 files
before loading your own.
f.
If enabling the Video Wrapper source, try one of the preloaded presentations and
playlists before testing your own.
g.
All of the enabled multiplexer inputs can be viewed on the front panel. Use this to
verify you have correctly configured your inputs.
4)
Enable and configure Outputs of the multiplexer.
a.
Outputs may include IPTV or RF.
b.
Create Outputs first, then select the “Program Mapping” icon to configure their
contents.
c.
When creating an RF output, utilize the Monitor page to find unused carrier frequencies.
d.
When selecting the “Program Mapping” be sure of the following:
i.
All of the sources selected are compatible with the receiving device. i.e. If ATSC,
all of the included program streams should be MPEG2 encoded video.
ii.
The sum of all enabled sources should not exceed the maximum bitrate of the
Output transport. i.e. If ATSC 8-VSB do not exceed 19.39 Mb/s. Check the
outputs tab of the overview page to see signs of over subscription.
5)
Check the results
a.
All multiplexer video sources should be visible on the front panel.
b.
Have a receiving device ready to test the results.
