After attaching the source to the VGA Grid HD Encoder, the next steps are to ensure you have set up static

networking for the encoder (if desired) and to add the encoder as a channel to the Networked VGA Grid. See

Configure Encoder Network Settings

and

Add an encoder to the VGA Grid

.

Generally the captured stream doesn't require any additional configuration, but if needed, you can log into the

encoders web interface to make configuration changes.

To configure a source complete these steps in the VGA Grid HD Encoder's web interface:

The following adjustments cannot be made for S-Video sources.

 1. Connect to the VGA Grid HD Encoder's admin interface using your preferred connection mechanism.

See

Connect to the Admin Interface

.

 2. Login as admin.

 3. Ensure a source is connected to the input port, see Table

Configure a video source

.

 4. From the web interface, click Frame Grabber from the Configuration menu; the Frame Grabber

Adjustments page opens.

 5. Make fine adjustments if required, however in most cases the video is ready to view from a channel and

ready to stream.

DVI and HDMI Signals

Although many options can be listed on the .vga (DVI) source configuration page, only certain ones are

applicable to DVI or HDMI signals. When you have a digital source connected, the page indicates that most

changes are not configurable.
