5 Networked AV Pre-Implementation Guide www.svsiav.com
Although extensive video networks can be constructed using the Networked AV plug-and-play capabilities without N-Able
software or a hardware controller, the following tasks can be accomplished only through the software:
• Manage multiple video streams down one cable (not applicable for all devices).
• Upload LocalPlay and HostPlay locally-stored content.
• View a graphical presentation of video network connections.
• Turn audio on and off (using web-based control).
• Turn encoders on and off (using web-based control).
• Switch any display from one video stream to another.
• Switch between live video stream and locally-stored LocalPlay and HostPlay content.
• Adjust variable bit-rate for each video stream (N3000 series only).
• Assign fixed IP addresses for each component.
• Record and playback from N6123 Networked Video Recorders.
• Address remote devices through the bi-directional RS232 control interface.
• Provide LAN diagnostics.
The following table lists the host PC system requirements for installing N-Able software:
2 VIDEO INPUTS
Analog or digital video is input directly to any encoder through the digital video input (DVI-I) connector. HDMI, Displayport,
DVI-D, VGA, or component signals can be input using passive adapters or cables. HD-SDI, composite, S-Video, or RF
sources require conversion by third-party devices.
2.1 Supported Resolutions
Each encoder samples the incoming digital video frequency and adjusts accordingly. The supported video resolutions are:
*4K is only supported on select SVSi products.
Note: 1080i is the only supported interlaced mode. Unscaled modes at resolutions above 720p are 30-Hz on the wire. If a
video source gives the encoder a resolution that it does not support, a default screen will be displayed indicating
“Unsupported Input Resolution.” Note that a particular monitor or TV may not support all of these modes. In this case, the
display itself may default to its “un-supported resolution” screen.
Both encoders and decoders have a scaling option that can be turned on or off. For seamless switching between video
streams, all inputs should be scaled to the same resolution (720p60 is preferred). Decoder scaling set to “native” will
bypass display scaling and present content at highest fidelity.
