Displaying Stream Content

MAX-CSE/MAX-CSD10 Operation/Reference Guide

Establishing the Final Connection Between the CSE and Computer

Start playing the media at its source (DVD, VCR, camera, etc.).

2. While in the UI pages (log back in if not already connected), navigate to the Administration page by

clicking on the Admin link from the left Navigation frame.

3. Locate the Mode section of this page and click the Play button to begin streaming the incoming

media content to the targeted Modero panel. For these procedures, the Program information is

optional and not "picked-up" by the application.

4. Double-click on the desktop icon to launch the pre-installed VLC player (A in FIG. 48).

5. Click File > Open Network Stream to launch the Open dialog where you can configure the

properties of the incoming media stream (B in FIG. 48).

6. Click on the Network tab and select the UDP/RTP radio box from the left side of this dialog.

7. Use the Port field to enter the value used with in the Target Port field in the MAX’s Encoder

Profiles page.

8. Click the OK button to accept the parameters and maximize the window to begin displaying the

incoming stream. There might be a delay of a few seconds while the unit attempts to synchronize

itself with the incoming stream.

If there is no video being displayed within the player, confirm that the information which was

previously entered into the Stream section of the MAX’s Encoder Profiles page matches the

parameters for both the target computer and target port.

If this still doesn’t produce a displayed signal, cycle the Play/Stop buttons and verify that both

the encoding Status says Streaming (verifying that the process of encoding is underway) and

that the unit is detecting an incoming signal (shown by the word SYNC appearing in the

Video Sync section of the UI).

The most common error found is when a bad cable is not detected and therefore no signal is

available for the unit to encode. The encoding process can continue on a MAX-CSE even

without an actual signal being detected.
