Creating Presets

Presets are created that configure devices to operate as a system. Once created, presets
can be launched with a single button click. The EC 200 then reconfigures and connects the
devices in the preset to create the system.
The three preset types are:
•

Several general rules for the Preset Design workspace are:

Create a New Preset

To create a new preset, drag and drop a device onto the Preset panel, then drag an
appropriate device onto the first device. In this example, Encode1 is an encoder streaming
video to the system. Decode1 is a decoder connected to a display.
To create an encoder to decoder preset:
1.
Switching – Connect inputs to outputs. Source devices must always be placed into the
design area first. Source devices (codecs, encoders, or players) are dragged from the
Matrix Devices list into any blank space in the Preset Design workspace.
Record – Connect encoders to a record channel, select the stream and stream types
to record, and specify the directory and file names. Source devices are always placed
first with the desired recording channel dropped on it.
Play – Connect decoders to a player and view previously recorded material. Players are
always placed first followed by the decoder.
The first device dragged into the design area is positioned vertically on the left hand side
of the workspace. Subsequent devices are positioned under the previous one in the
order placed.
Once placed in this column, the space to the right of a source device becomes a
connection point for decoders or recorder channels.
A Codec can be added to a preset regardless of its current mode. When dropped
into the design area first, a codec formatted as a decoder reconfigures to an encoder.
Similarly, a codec formatted as an encoder, reconfigures to a decoder when dropped
onto an encoder.
