HDE-3000 - 33 -
In a dual unit, both encoders are contained in one chassis with only two com ports,
so the same scenario using a dual unit is as follows:
Com1 Com2
Encoder 1
Encoder 2
Video Feed 1
Video Feed 2
PC
Running
Caption Com1
Software
The serial connection between the encoders in a dual unit has to be implemented
internally. This is done thru the “com setup menu” function called “EDS400 Emul Casc”.
To configure the dual unit, set encoder 1 com1 to “EDS400 Emulation” to receive
commands from the PC. Then set encoder 2 com 1 to “EDS400 Emul Casc”. This
enables an internal connection between encoder 1 and encoder 2 so that both encoders
receive the commands from the PC simultaneously.
A dual unit can be connected to another encoder, allowing three video streams to be
encoded simultaneously when connected as follows:
Set the com ports to cascade as described at the bottom of the previous page. Then
set encoder 1 com 2 to redirect data from com 1.
