Name:
All 9992-ENC encoders can be assigned a user-defined name. This name is used
to identify the encoder later when making connections. Use any descriptive name
suitable for your application, or accept the default.
Encoder State:
This control allows you to start/stop an encoder. This control needs to be
set to
Running
for normal operation.
Resolution:
This control only appears if the encoder is in Single-Channel mode. Select
HD
for resolutions up to 1920×1080p, and
4K
for 3840×2160 resolutions.
Input Port:
This control is present if the encoder is in Multi-Channel mode, or if
Resolution
is set to
HD.
It selects the input port to drive this encoder instance. Note that
multiple encoder instances can run independently from the same port, if desired. The
encoder will automatically detect the signal and configure itself for the detected
resolution and frame rate.
o
4K Signal Source:
This control replaces the
Input Port
if the encNotoder is in
Single-Channel mode and
Resolution
is set to
4K.
The options are shown below. The
encoder can operate in Single-Link mode, where it will accept either a 6G-SDI or a
12G-SDI signal (which can be applied to either Video 1 or Video 2), or in Quad-Link
mode, where it will take four SDI signals and combine them into one 4K image.
Notes:
o
While the encoder will automatically detect the frame rate of the incoming signal, it
must match the selection above. For example, if Quad-Link is selected but a
Single-Link signal is present, the encoder will not start.
o
In Quad-Link mode, the signals must be connected in the correct order. The order is
not automatically detected.
Loss of Video Action:
This control only appears if the
Enable Framesync
box in the
Video Inputs Configuration Tab is checked. Regardless of the framesync setting, the
9992-ENC will not start without a video input signal. This control defines the encoder
behavior if it loses the video signal
after
it is started. The options are:
