Sequential encoder instructions
The sequential encoder creates MPEG-1 proxy versions of high-resolution video
assets that already exist on a video server.
Single-channel encoders and sequential encoders both share the same hardware and
are wired up identically except for timecode and video/audio sources.
If a NewsBrowse system uses single-channel encoders for the creation of MPEG, the
sequential encoder can be an optional component.
Cable as illustrated and as follows:
• Connect a cable from the Video In port on the Encoder to the analog video feed
source.
• Connect a cable from the Audio In port on the Encoder to the analog audio feed
source.
• Connect a Timecode cable from the Timecode In port (RCA port) to the Profile
Media Server Timecode Out port; the Profile port must be configured as a
Timecode generator and should be free running time of day, closely reflecting the
actual time of day.
• Connect two Ethernet cables from LAN1 and LAN2 ports on the Encoder to a
network router or switch.
• Optionally connect a RS-422 control cable from the COM2 port on the encoder to
the RS-422 port on the Profile Media Server (only if API is not used). Refer to
“RS-422 Cable Pinouts” on page 23 .
