5.3.5 Setup encoders
With the command Setup encoders... the Setup encoders dialog is opened to configure the settings for each
type of encoder, that provides a video stream, monitored by the H
YDRA module.
To define a new encoder type, enter its name into the Name field and click Add. The new encoder is displayed
in the Encoders list and has default settings. To delete an already defined encoder select it with the mouse from
the Encoders list and click Delete.
When editing the properties of an encoder, make sure that it is selected in the Encoders list. Especially when
creating a new encoder, at first its name must be added, before its properties can be changed.
From the IP protocol list one of the three options UDP, RTP or TCP can be chosen.
Please note, that RTP can only be used with Streaming video boards with firmware version 2.0
and higher.
With the fields Skip at start, Skip at end the amount of bytes to be skipped at the start respectively the end of
an incoming IP-packet is determined. With the Stream type list select the type of the stream. The following
types can be selected:
Auto automatic detection of the incoming stream (This method requires some extra time for the
initial analysis of the stream)
Elementary MPEG elementary stream
Program MPEG program stream
Transport MPEG transport stream
Into the TCP field a TCP string can be entered for configuration of the encoder. It is used, if the TCP checkbox is
selected.
All changes done in the Setup encoders dialog are only adapted, when the OK button is pressed. With the
Cancel button all changes also the added and deleted encoders are rejected.
