Drake DSE24 HD Video Encoder w/QAM output & CC - Manual (Page 14)

14 Additional Information
STANDBY MODE
Rf output. this can be used when it is desirable to temporarily disable the output without unplugging the external
power supply. Select StANDby in the ‘outPut foRmAt’ menu.
OVER TEMPERATURE SENSOR
temperature monitoring is built into this product. if inadequate ventilation is provided, overheating may occur.
if this condition is detected, the default LCD message will change to oVeR temP. if this occurs, the problem
should be corrected as soon as possible. the unit will remain operational but the ventilation must be restored to
prevent premature part failures due to overheating.
STATUS DISPLAYS
when the units are not in the program mode, status displays are shown. the default display shows the audio and
video status as well as the video timing accuracy (clock) and closed captioning status (CC). when the display
shows a check mark, the subsystem status is good. if the display shows an X, the subsystem status is out - of -
spec. when the uP button is repeatedly pressed, the display toggles between the video and audio status and the
version number. the DowN button causes the display to show the video and audio status but does not toggle.
USING A PC AS A VIDEO SOURCE
when using a PC as your video source, please ensure that the resolution is set to one of the following modes:
(640x480@60Hz, 720x480@60Hz, 1280x720@60Hz, or 1920x1080@30Hz). while PC’s can generate many
other output resolutions, the DSe24 will only operate correctly with these video settings. if the status display
shows an “X” beside the clock system, the video source’s timing is not correct; if the video subsystem status is
still a check mark the encoder is still working, but the output may not be glitch - free at all times.
REMOTE CONTROL MONITORING
the DSe24 may be used with a PC to allow remote monitoring or control. Connect the ethernet cable coming
from the PC or router to the ethernet rear panel connector. Assign a uSeR NAme, and PASSwoRD to the
DSe24 using the front panel controls as described previously. the PC must be running a web browser. firefox
is recommended. type either the uSeR NAme or iP ADDReSS in the browser’s uRL line and press the PC’s
eNteR button. the authentication window should appear. type in the user name or iP address, enter the
password you chose and click on oK. this should produce the parameters window. then program the unit as
described previously.
