e
Check the Multicast Enable box if RTP multicast source streaming is required,
otherwise ensure this box is unchecked to enable RTP unicast. This must be the same
as the videoPort setting.

Click the Save All tab. Encoder setup is now complete.
Repeat this procedure (see “
Configuring a VNC 200 as an Encoder (Source) ”)
for each encoder in the system. To configure a VNC 200 device as a decoder display
device, see “
Configuring a VNC 200 as a Decoder (Display) .”
Additional Information for Encoder Setup
Input mode
The default and recommended input mode for a VNC 200 encoder is auto. This mode
provides full detection of the applied source and automatic configuration of input
parameters. It has the additional advantage that if a different source is connected at
any time, the VNC 200 will automatically reconfigure the input for the new source.
Auto mode will detect most standard video and graphic source formats. However, the
VNC 200 may not autodetect correctly if the source input:
• Is a non-standard format
• Is an RGsB (sync on green) or YPrPb source type
• Has a poor quality signal
• Has Macrovision® copy protection
In these cases, to achieve reliable operation, some fine-tuning may be necessary. A
predefined or custom input mode can also be applied.
For further information, see “
Advanced Source Setup .”
EDID options
Many modern computers and monitors are capable of using EDID (Extended Display
Identification Data). This allows a computer graphics card to be ‘aware’ of the
capabilities of the display connected to it. The VNC 200, when configured as an
encoder, provides different options for handling EDID.
Figure 23. Handling EDID
a
The Monitor EDID field shows the local monitor display type. If no local monitor is
connected or the monitor does not support EDID, this will show No Device.
b
The Reported EDID field shows the EDID that VNC 200 reports back to the source
device. Transparent mode will report the current or last connected monitor type.
Alternatively, choose one of the listed display types.
Identify Mode
As an aid to setting-up a VNC 200 encoder in a large or complex system, use the
Identify function to display the device name on the local monitor (if using a local
monitor).
