Operation Manual

 720p to Ethernet 1, 2 and ASI: This template configures both encoders to run from
HD-SDI 720p inputs (Encoder 1 from Video 1, Encoder 2 from Video 2). Encoders are
routed to individual multicasts on both Ethernet ports, and as an MPTS to both ASI Ports.
 1080i to Ethernet 1, 2 and ASI: This template configures both encoders to run from
HD-SDI 1080i inputs (Encoder 1 from Video 1, Encoder 2 from Video 2). Encoders are
routed to individual multicasts on both Ethernet ports, and as an MPTS to both ASI Ports.
 1080i + SD from Video 1 to Eth 1, 2, ASI: This template configures both encoders to
run from an HD-SDI 1080i input connected to Video 1. Encoder 1 runs at full resolution,
Encoder 2 downscales the content to SD. Encoders are routed to individual multicasts on
both Ethernet ports, and as an MPTS to both ASI Ports.
Clear Current Configuration Button
The Clear Current Configuration button clears all the configured ports and streams as follows:
 All ASI Ports are set to manual configuration, 20 Mb/s, 188-byte packets.
 All Encoders are stopped and configured with a default set of parameters.
 All IP Outputs are deleted.
 All Connections are removed.
 The Test Packet Generators are disabled.
The button does not affect the following areas:
 The settings in the Network tab are not changed.
 The settings in the Admin General tab are not changed.
 Saved configurations are not modified in any way.
Dashboard™ will take a few seconds to reload (longer if you are accessing over a wide-area
network), but the actual configuration in the B264 is virtually instantaneous. The Status
Message Area will indicate the result of the operation.
Admin Test Packet Generator Tab
The B264 includes two Test Packet Generators (TPG) that are capable of generating a
configurable constant bit rate sequence of MPEG-2 Transport Packets with very strict timing.
The TPGs are considered a source (input), and are available to be connected to any output. The
user interface for the TPGs includes a current status table, which reports the current
configuration of the generators.
To configure one of the TPGs, click on the Edit button on its row. The following configuration
parameters are displayed:
