Live MPEG MAX CSE Encoder Service
The Vision
2
Live MPEG Max CSE Encoder Service is used to control a MAX CSE encoder and view its output as one of your Vision
2
Live Channels. This allows users to add a analogue video source such as a camera to a Vision2 system. Once the Encoder is
configured, the Live channel it creates can be used as a source for a Record Service or for display as part of a Producer channel. PC
and set-top box users can also view this Live channel as part of the Live Channels list. The Live MPEG service uses an AMX MAX-CSE
encoder (
FG2178-70
) to provide the hardware encoding of video and audio signals into an MPEG-2 multicast stream.
Select
Live Channels > Manage MAX CSE Encoders
to open the MAX-CSE Encoder configuration page. (FIG. 58):
The top section of the page deals with the settings for the service itself and consists of the following options:
Perform these steps to connect to a MAX-CSE Encoder:
1.
In the
Service Name
text box, enter the name of the Live channel that you want to appear to PC and set-top box users in the
Live Channels list.
2.
Enter the network IP Address of the encoder in the Encoder IP Address text box. You can find the IP address of the MAX-CSE
encoder on the LED on the front of the unit.
3.
In the
Username
text box enter the username used to gain access to the encoder. The default username is
Admin
.
4.
In the
Password
text box, enter the password used to gain access to the encoder. The default password is
1988
.
5.
Click
Apply
. If the correct details have been entered, the Encoder Settings section will update to the values configured on your
encoder.
If an incorrect IP address is entered, the system will attempt the connection for 10 seconds and then, if unsuccessful, the following
message will appear at the bottom of the page: “The encoder is not responding, the IP address is incorrect or the encoder is
offline.”
If the encoder has different multicast settings to the values in Vision2 then you will be prompted to click
Apply
and update the
multicast settings. If the encoder is enabled, disable it before updating the settings.
