– Uses bobbing, but it attempts to recover additional spatial information by looking
forward and backward in the video stream (uses previewous, current, and future frames).

Click Save Settings.
Note: If you save an encoder with a PID entered in the PID combination then edit that
encoder and press Detect, the saved PID appears green if it is detected, if undetected
it appears red. The PID on the Audio tab reflects the same color.
PID Example
If you detect three PIDs: 1, 2, and 3 and select 2 and click Save Settings, when you edit that encoder you
should still see 1, 2, and 3. PIDs 1 and 3 are cached in memory and PID 2 is saved. If you reboot the
system, the cache is lost and only PID 2 (which was saved) remains. When the detect occurs, the cache is
rebuilt with the current valid options, however, the drop-down list still contains the saved option even if
it is no longer valid. For instance, if PID 2 is saved and PIDs 1 and 3 are removed from the cache and
replaced with options 5 and 6. The drop-down list shows PID 2 in red, since it is the saved option and no
longer valid, and option 5 and 6 in green because they are valid options.
Note: If you change the IP address and/or the port, the options in the PID drop-down list change to
reflect what is in the cache for that combination. If you have not run a detect on that
combination, then the PID drop-down list is empty and disabled. The Audio tab updates
accordingly.
PID color chart
Before you can use the IP ingest function, you should verify whether the audio/video PIDs are valid.
After you click Detect, the color of the PID field changes to reflect the status of the PID at this time. The
following chart explains the colors and the status.
Color
Status
Green
PID is detected.
Yellow
 You updated a control.
 You saved and reloaded the encoder.
 PID is stale.
Red
PID is not detected at this time.
