Apply button – activates the edited parameters in the tab section without saving them into the
system database.
Save button – saves the edited parameters in the tab section into the system database according to
the selected group index without activating them.
It should be noted that the first three of the five buttons are carried out based on only the selected
group index ignoring the edited tab section contents, while the last two of the five buttons take the
edited tab section contents into effect.
Note that because the Save operation stores the edited configuration parameters into the system
without activating them, therefore, after the Save button is clicked, the web interface displays the
contents of the currently active parameters, which could be different than what user has just saved.
Reloading or retrieving the group will show you the previously saved information.
Section 3:
The tab section consists of seven tabs: RF, Video, Audio, TS, Encryption, Auxiliary Data, and
Streaming configurations. Due to the internal configuration arrangement, the suitable configuration
order is from the left tab to the right tab subsequently.
Note that the optional features which are purchased separately and not part of the defaults are also
explained below. Therefore, to be able to configure and use Video, 4K RF Carrier Mode, 128-Bit and
256 Encryption options the user needs to contact the factory for purchase. Otherwise, the
corresponding functions and web GUI displays are grayed out.
RF tab (Figure 12) contains all the available configuration parameters for the radio frequency
communication functions. RF function can be completely turned off by selecting RF OFF in the RF
Control drop-down list box. Carrier Frequency input frequency values are limited to the purchased
band ( for example an S2 band is limited to the values from 1990 to 2500 MHz). RF Power Level
drop-down box offers four RF power levels whose actual power values are predefined initially at the
factory and reconfigurable by the user on the RF Power page under System Setup menu.
Video tab (Figure 13) Video is auto detected. The M2TE automatically senses the video format on
its input(s). The user does not have to configure video formats, it doesn’t matter if the source video
is composite (PAL or NTSC), HD-SDI or SD-SDI the M2TE auto detects the video format (reference
the specification section 9 for supported formats). However if using a dual stream (a purchased
option) the second video (Video 2) must be enabled (as shown in Figure 13). This can be done
manually, just go the video tab and enable Video 2 by selecting “On_Auto” from the pull down box.
Or it can be included in a pre-set configuration group in which case just load the configuration group
which has been set up for two videos.
Up to two video streams are supported and at least one video stream must be present. In other
words if one of the video input modes is selected to be OFF, the other video input mode cannot be
turned off.
