Decoder Display and Configuration Page

The available controls consist of two main panels:

a

  Decoder video configuration controls

 — Provides controls for the display name 

and the splash screen display and displays the active format (see “

Decoder Video 

Configuration Panel

“, below).

b

  Decoder streams configuration controls

 — Provides control for stream selection 

(see “

Decoder Streams Configuration Panel

“) and a link to the bit rate and stream 

statistics page.

  Name field

 —

 

This is the name that is displayed in the device list page. This can be 

changed to any value.

Å

  Nodata splash checkbox

 

 

Enables the display of a splash screen when the display 

device detects a break in the input data stream. When this control is disabled the last 

decoded frame is displayed.

û

  Genlock checkbox

 

 

Enables a a local SDI input of the same refresh rate as the 

streamed video to act as a digital genlock signal for synchronizing the decoder to a local 
standard.

ü

  Active format

 

 

Reports the currently selected output mode. The reported mode is the 

source type. If no source is available, the splash screen resolution is reported.
