MAX Video Encoder
Description
This section allows the user/administrator to define the transport
protocols and destination parameters for the outgoing stream
content (such as IP Address and Audio/Video Ports).
• A drop-down list from which the user can choose between the
two types of available data transfer/handling protocols.
• Available transport protocols: UDP (default) or RTP
• A protocol is a convention or standard that controls or enables
the connection, communication, and data transfer between two
computing endpoints. In this case, between the MAX-CSE and
the target IP-capable device (Modero, PC, or MAX-CSD10).
• UDP (User Datagram Protocol) allows the transport of both
MPEG-2 video and audio inside a single stream that is
encapsulated as part of a standard MPEG-2 Transport Stream.
- If UDP is selected as the protocol type, the Target Audio
Port field becomes greyed-out and unused. In this case, both
the audio and video streams are combined and sent to
a single target port.
• RTP (Real-time Transport Protocol) defines a standardized
packet format for delivering audio and video over the Internet.
By transferring video and audio over separate streams, RTP
allows audio only players to receive this separated content as
would their audio/video player counterparts.
- If RTP is selected as the protocol type, the Target Audio
Port field becomes enabled. In this case, the audio and
video streams are sent as separate entities to two separate
target ports.
• The IP Address of the target IP-capable device that will receive
the encoded outgoing media stream. This is the IP of the target
device such as the VG-Series Modero panel, MAX-CSD10, or
computer which will display the stream.
• Target Address must be in IPv4 dot notation (ex: X.X.X.X).
• Default IP Address is: 239.168.42.108 (a multicast address).
Obtaining the IP information for a target Modero:
• Press the grey Front Setup Access button for 3 seconds to open
the Setup page.
• Press the Protected Setup button (located on the lower-left of
the panel page) to open the Protected Setup page and display
an on-screen keypad.
• Enter 1988 into the Keypad's password field and press Done
when finished.
• Press the NetLinx Settings button to open the NetLinx
Settings page and obtain IP from the IP Settings section of this
page.
Obtaining the IP information for a target PC:
• On your PC, click Start > Run to open the Run dialog.
• Enter cmd into the Open field and click OK to open the
command DOS prompt.
• From the C:\> command line, enter ipconfig to display the
current IP Address of the PC.
