While configuring a channel, consider opening a live preview of the channel in another tab or browser window
so you can see the changes as they are applied. Right-click Live View and select open in a new window or
open in a new tab to start the preview.
Create a DVI channel
A single source channel displays the output from one source in one viewing screen. Follow the steps below to
create a DVI channel. In this section you can choose settings that maximize your stream quality, while
minimizing your processing requirements and bandwidth by adjusting frame rate, resolution and bit rate.
Procedures to select a codec for compression, add a time stamp to the stream, and select a layout when two
sources are configured are described in separate procedures.
To add a DVI channel:
1. Connect to the admin interface using your preferred connection mechanism. See Connect to the Admin
Interface .
2. Login as admin.
3. Ensure a DVI input source is connected to the device.
4. From the side menu, scroll to the Channels section.
5. Click Stream Setup; the Stream setup page opens.
