What is a source?
A source can be an image, video, or audio from a camera, a computer screen or any device that provides a
VGA, SDI, DVI or HDMI video signal and audio signal output.
Video Sources
The web interface automatically discovers all video source ports and displays them in the Sources section of
the web admin interface.
Each video input on the back of the system is identified by its row (A or B) and input type (SDI, HDMI, or VGA).
For example the SDI input from row A is labeled SDI-A. Input sources display their captured images at the
bottom their respective source page. It is a good practice to view the images from each source to confirm
what is captured. See below.
When a source is connected, the system automatically detects and adjusts the image capture settings at start
up and continues to adjust every 60 seconds during operation (interval is configurable). The system’s goal is to
produce the best quality captured image given the source equipment used. Generally no further
configuration is needed.
