Configuration: Encoder > Video
These parameters are used to configure the Encoder video settings. The encoder video and 
audio configurations change if the appliance has an SDI, Serial Digital Interface. Please refer 
to SDI Configuration on page 57 for more information.
Transport Content If the model number ends in -xxx1/-xxx2, the user can choose the
transport content to be Video + Audio, Video only or Audio only. If 
the model number ends in -xxx0, the option is not displayed and video 
and audio always comprises the transport content.
Delay Mode
If the model number ends in -xxx1/-xxx2, the delay mode can be set 
to Low, Medium or High Delay. If the model number ends in –xxx0, 
the delay mode can be set to Low or High Delay. In low and medium 
delay modes, the Reference Distance is forced to 1 (no B frames). Low 
delay reduces latency but may also reduce video stability, depending 
on video content. If minimum latency is not an issue in the 
application, high delay will maximize video stability. Default Delay 
Mode is set to High Delay.
Audio PID
MPEG-2 transmits its data in packets of 188 bytes each. At the start of 
each packet is a packet identifier (or PID) that identifies the data 
stream associated with that packet. It is possible that a non-VBrick 
decoder may only accept audio streams with a certain PID setting. If 
so, then this feature allows compatibility with these decoders.
Video PID
MPEG-2 transmits its data in packets of 188 bytes each. At the start of 
each packet is a packet identifier (or PID) that identifies the data 
stream associated with that packet. It is possible that a non-VBrick 
decoder may only accept video streams with a certain PID setting. If 
so, then this feature allows compatibility with these decoders.
PCR PID
MPEG-2 transmits its data in packets of 188 bytes each. At the start of 
each packet is a packet identifier (or PID) that identifies the data 
stream associated with that packet. It is possible that a non-VBrick 
decoder may only accept PCR (Program Clock Reference) streams 
with a certain PID setting. If so, then this feature allows compatibility 
with these decoders. Note that certain decoders may require the PCRs 
to be embedded in the video stream. If so, these decoders are not 
compatible with the VBrick encoder.
Destination 2 
Stream Type
The user can configure the appliance to transmit an Elementary 
stream as a secondary stream. A video ES, or video elementary stream, 
consists of all the video data for a sequence, including the sequence 
header and all the subparts of a sequence. A Transport stream 
contains both video and audio.
