Configure Encoder for ASI Output 

 

Once you have an IP stream, it is relatively simple to change to ASI output. All that is needed is one 

parameter change. To output using ASI, complete the following steps: 

 

(1)

 

The SDI connections also support ASI. Connect a BNC cable from “SDI Out” to your desired video 

decoder or other device to receive the ASI stream. The DME-05 can be connected directly to a 

second DME-05 unit configured as a decoder. For more information on running this unit as a 

decoder, see Section 6.18. 

 

 

 

 

 

(2)

 

In the CH1 configuration tab, click on “stop” to stop the current encoding session. 

 

(3)

 

Change “Output Format” from “UDP” to “ASI”. 

 

(4)

 

Click on the “start” button to start the encoding session. 

 

 

 

 

Change to “ASI”
