Device Commands
mode <deviceid> <state>
Changes the operating mode of the specified device.
<deviceid> is the device serial number of the device or the user-defined device name.
<state> is the required mode and can be set to:
enable – for normal operation
disable – to stop encoder source streaming or stop display output on a decoder
standby – to stop encoder source streaming or display splash screen on a decoder
EXAMPLE: mode 16 enable
channel <deviceid> <window> <sourceid.videoport.protocol>
Changes the source being displayed in a window of the specified decoder device.
<deviceid> is the device serial number of the device or the user-defined device name.
<window> is the window object number. Currently this can only be 0.
<sourceid.videoport.protocol> is the source to be displayed, where:
source id is the serial number of the source device,
videoport is the video input number, usually set to 0,
protocol specifies either RTP or TCP, set to 0 for RTP or 1 for TCP.
NOTE: Full stops (.) are required between the sourceid, videoport and protocol values.
EXAMPLE: channel 17 0 16.0.1
optimization <deviceid> <videoport> <mode>
Changes the compression transform for the specified encoder device.
<deviceid> is the device serial number of the device or the user-defined device name.
<videoport> is the video input number, usually set to 0.
<mode> is the source transform to be used and can be set to:
video – for video sources
graphics – for graphics sources
EXAMPLE: optimization 16 0 video
bandwidth <deviceid> <videoport> <bandwidth>
Changes the target bandwidth value for the specified encoder device.
<deviceid> is the device serial number of the device or the user-defined device name.
<videoport> is the video input number, usually set to 0.
<bandwidth> is the bandwidth value in Megabits per second.
EXAMPLE: bandwidth 16 0 5
