MediaEdge 1 Limitations ■ Limitations on playback content - If the MediaEdge-STB3 plays back HD and SD contents seamlessly, the internal MPEG decoder device may stop (hang up). - Content that is compressed in a different MPEG format, such as MPEG1 and MPEG2, cannot be played seamlessly. - MediaEdge-STB3 doesn't support the playback of the MPEG1 stream sent from LEB/MVR-D4400/D4000.
2 Setting Remote Control ID You can assign the remote control ID numbers (0 to 3) to your MediaEdge-STB3 and remote controller. The default remote control ID is set to 0. For example, the remote controller whose ID number is set to 2 can operate the MediaEdge-STB3 whose ID number is 2. These settings have to be specified on each remote controller and on the MediaEdge-STB3. 2-1 Assigning ID to Remote Controller You can assign the remote control ID numbers (0 to 3) to your remote controller. To button.
MediaEdge ■ Setting by the DIP switches Remote control ID can be assigned by the DIP switch setting. The DIP switches can be found under the battery lid of the remote controller. Available to change by the button operations. (Factory default: All switches are off.
2-2 Assigning ID to the MediaEdge-STB3 1 Run a Web browser and access the MediaEdge-STB3 setup page. Ex: If MediaEdge-STB3 IP address is set to 192. 168. 0. 16 URL http://192. 168. 0. 16/ 2 MediaEdge-STB3 setup page opens. Click [Local settings]. 3 Enter the user name and the password. * As the default, [admin] is set as the [User name] with no password set. 4 Select the ID at [Remote Control ID] in [System]. Press the [Save] button once the settings are done.
MediaEdge 3 FEC (Forward Error Correction) Functions The FEC (Forward Error Correction) function can correct errors on streaming data. With this function, even when loss or error of data occurs during distribution, they are corrected so as to play back the content properly. In order to use the FEC function, the stream server also has to support the FEC function. The FEC settings for the MediaEdge-STB3 can be assigned using the Web console ([Local Settings] > [Network] > [FEC mode]).
