Figure 166. PID field
The PID displays in the format: Encode Type (PID X @ Prog# Y). X is the PID number and Y is
the Program number. The PID appears green if the detect is successful.
Note: The Size drop-down list defaults to the detected Input Video Size. You may change
this value if you want to stream this video at a different size.
6.
Select a PID from the Input Size drop-down list.
7.
If you update a control or you save and reload this encoder, then the PIDs appear yellow.
Yellow signifies the PID may or may not be valid or “stale.” IP sources can change over time.
The host may stop streaming, or the host may restart the stream and the PIDs and/or the
Progs#s may change even for the same content. The PID appears yellow on the Video and
Audio tabs.
Note: Because of the inherent volatility, run a detect on the stream before starting the
encoder to ensure that the stream PID is still valid (see PID Example ).
8.
Drag the sliders to adjust the Brightness, Contrast, Hue, and Saturation (Figure 167).
Figure 167. Video Filter Settings
Note: Click Restore to the right of the filter to reset the settings to the default.
9.
Click the De-Interlace setting you want to apply (Figure 168). Options include:
 None
– Performs no de-interlacing of any kind.
 Bob
– Frame doubler.
– Displays each half-picture as a full picture by displaying each line twice which preserves
temporal resolution of interlaced video.
– Uses kernel approach (less motion blur by applying additional de-interlacing method
only to moving parts leaving static parts of the frame intact).
 Linear
– Frame doubler.
– Bob with linear interpolation. Instead of displaying each line twice, line 2 is created as
the average of line 1 and 3, etc.
 YADIF (Yet Another De-Interlacing Filter)
– Frame doubler (Bob).
– Best general purpose de-interlacing filter. Offers fast and consistent high quality of
