Displaying Stream Content
To receive and display content via a third-party media player (such as the VLC media player):
Setting up a Modero Panel to Receive and Display a Stream
The MAX-CSE must first be prepared to stream to the target Modero panel prior to creating the
necessary TPDesign4 panel pages (later be uploaded to the panel).
Step 1: Obtaining the IP Address of the target panel
1. Press the grey Front Setup Access button for 3 seconds to open the Setup page (FIG. 39).
2. 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.

If you enter a Target Port value of 5000, when using RTP, you must enter a value
of 5002 into the Target Audio Port field.
If using UDP, only the Target Port (video) field is user-definable because both the
video and audio are sent out by the CSE as one stream and therefore there is no
reason to define a separate audio port. Entering a value of 5000 into this field will,
by default, cause the target Modero panel to look for the incoming audio portion of
the stream on the same port as the video (port 5000).
Obtain the IP Address being used by the target Modero panel by locating the IP Address
field on the firmware's System Connection page.
Determine what is the available data rate for the network on which the encoder currently
resides. This information will determine what encoder profile can be used on the
outgoing media content. If the network can only handle a throughput of 4 Mbps from the
encoder, it is recommended that you use something less than or equal to the High
Quality encoder profile.
Verify you are using the latest VLC Player application available at:
http://www.videolan.org/vlc/.
UDP transmission of a stream only requires one instance of the VLC Player to display the
combined A/V content.
Note that if your are going to try and stream both audio and video to a target computer as
separate streams, you will need to open two separate instances of this same application.
One window will display the video portion of the stream (provided by the Target
Port field on the Streaming Profiles page), whereas the second window provides the
audio portion of the stream (provided by the Target Audio Port field on the
Streaming Profiles page).
Obtain the IP Address of the target computer by using the ipconfig command. This
process is described in greater detail later in this section.
