Device Commands
mode <deviceid> <state>
Changes the operating mode of the specified device.
<deviceid> Is the device serial number of the device or the user-defined device name.
<state> Is the required mode and can be set to:
• enable – for normal operation
• disable – to stop encoder source streaming or stop display output on a decoder
• standby – to stop encoder source streaming or display splash screen on a decoder
Example:
mode 16 enable
channel <deviceid> <window> <sourceid.videoport.protocol>
Changes the source being displayed in a window of the specified decoder device.
<deviceid> Is the device serial number of the device or the user-defined device name.
<window> Is the window object number. Currently this can only be 0.
<sourceid.videoport.protocol> Is the source to be displayed, where:
• source id is the serial number of the source device
• videoport is the video input number, usually set to 0
• protocol specifies either RTP or TCP, set to 0 for RTP or 1 for TCP
Note: Full stops (.) are required between the sourceid, videoport, and protocol values.
Example:
channel 17 0 16.0.1
optimization <deviceid> <videoport> <mode>
Changes the compression transform for the specified encoder device.
<deviceid> Is the device serial number of the device or the user-defined device name.
<videoport> Is the video input number, usually set to 0.
<mode> Is the source transform to be used and can be set to:
• video – for video sources
• graphics – for graphics sources
Example:
optimization 16 0 video
bandwidth <deviceid> <videoport> <bandwidth>
Changes the target bandwidth value for the specified encoder device.
<deviceid> Is the device serial number of the device or the user-defined device name.
<videoport> Is the video input number, usually set to 0.
<bandwidth> Is the bandwidth value in megabits per second.
Example:
bandwidth 16 0 5
