Add to My manuals

Below you will find brief information for video encoder eGate 130-HDMI. The encoder can receive an HDMI video signal and encode it to an H.264 video stream. The encoded stream can then be transmitted over a network to other devices. The encoder can be configured to use different codecs, resolutions, and bitrates. It also supports scene change detection and chroma downfiltering. The video encoder eGate 130-HDMI is a powerful and versatile tool that can be used in a variety of applications, such as professional video conferencing, digital signage, and live streaming.

Connecting the encoder

Please pay attention about the cabling order between the power supply and the encoder.

To connect the encoder:

1.

Connect at first always the connector of the power supply to the chassis.

2.

Lock the cable connector to the socket of the encoder, so the cable cannot accidentally be pulled out.

3.

Connect the power cable to the power supply.

4.

Connect the network cable to the network interface of the encoder.

5.

Connect your HDMI/DVI source unit to the HDMI input of the eyeGATE-130-

HDMI.

The eyeGATE-130-HDMI supports also loop through of the HDMI input signal via the HDMI output interface.

Furthermore, if you have analogue audio, please use the 3.5 Mini Jack connector.

eyeGATE-130-HDMI User Guide

This chapter gives you an overview over the eyeGATE-130-HDMI and demonstrates the encoder’s main functions.

) NOTE:

Before proceeding please be sure that the encoder is setup correctly and all necessary connections are established

Accessing and configuring the eyeGATE-130-HDMI

To access the eyeGATE-130-HDMI:

1.

Open a standard web browser

2.

Type the eyeGATE-130-HDMI’s IP address (for example 172.16.20.100) in the address filed

3.

Press the button “ENTER”.

The encoder is configured by factory default to automatically start the encoding process and streaming the video with the multicast address

239.252.20.100, when a video is connected and a network link is established.

To be able to login to the encoder’s user interface, your computer has to be in the same IP-address range (subnet).

You briefly might have to change your computers IP-address to be in the same subnet as the encoder. Only then you will be able to access the encoder and change the encoder‘s IP-address, and of course afterwards change your computer‘s IP-address back.

)

NOTE:

If you have the factory presets and it’s not specified elsewhere, the IP address will be the default value 172.16.20.100.

APPLY and SAVE Buttons

A change or multiply changes will only take effect after the ‘> APPLY’ button is pressed.

The encoder will then start working with the new parameters, but the parameters will not be saved to the encoder. Applied settings are not saved and will be lost after a reboot.

Good for quickly testing and applying different settings.

The same as the ‘> APPLY’ button but the settings will be applied and saved to the encoders flash memory.

Saved parameters will be used by the encoder even when the encoder is turned off & on or after a reboot has taken place.

Good for permanently saving the encoder configuration.

Settings Description

Specifies the stream mode of the transmitted stream. You can chose between:

TS (Transport Stream)

TS/VIDEO (Transport Stream Video Only)

TS/AUDIO (Transport Stream Audio Only)

VES (Video Elementary Stream)

AES (Audio Elementary Stream)

If the video input signal is lost, you can choose here a screen which should streamed out. Following screens are available:

OFF

BLACK

GREY

COLORBAR

If ‘OFF’ is chosen, the encoder stops the streaming when the video input is lost. The ‘VideoLoss’ function is supported for SDI signals and analogue video signals.

If the audio input signal is lost, you can specify here what shall be happen in this case. Following possibilities are available:

OFF

SINE

SILENCE

If ‘OFF’ is chosen, the encoder stops the streaming when the embedded audio input is lost. When the analogue audio input is lost, the encoder streams only the video in this case.

If ‘SINE’ is chosen, the encoder streams the video with pure tone.

If ‘SILENCE’ is chosen, the encoder steams only the video when the embedded audio input is lost.

Transport Stream

Padding:

Specifies the padding mode. You can choose between:

ON (is recommend when a constant data rate is needed)

OFF (the transport stream has a variable data rate. All settings in the ‘VBV size’ field of the ‘video’ webpage have no effects)

VBR TS Rate Limit [kbps]: Specifies the maximum transport stream rate in kBit/s when ‘Transport Stream Padding’ is ‘OFF’.

CBR TS Rate [kbps]: Specifies the transport stream rate in kBit/s when ‘Transport Stream Padding’ is ‘ON’.

Description

Displays the codec of the output stream.

Specifies video bitrate in kBits/s

Specifies the interval of intra frames. Intra frames (= I-Frames) are total independently coded and are used as references frames.

Additional Information about P-Frames and GOP length:

At the eyeGATE-130-HDMI the data volume of a P-Frame amounts between 5% and

20% of an I-Frame. If is assumed of an average data volume of 10%, it means that for one I-Frame or ten P-Frames the same data volume is needed. The H.264 standard allows long GOPs. The eyeGATE-130-HDMI limits the GOP length to 500 frames. More

P-Frames at the same data rate means also a better quality. But more P-Frames have also two disadvantages: 1) The decoder can start the decoding process not till then the decoder get an I-Frame. That means at a GOP of 500 frames, the decoder waits in worst case 20 seconds before a picture can be displayed. 2) The result of this is also, that at occurrence of network errors (high packet loss), Frame gaps of up to 20 seconds can occur. So, the lower the P-Frames, the higher are the robustness and the faster can be switched the streams.

Specifies the input- and output buffer of the encoder and have an effect directly to the delay.

)

We recommend a VBV buffer size of 2500 msec.

)

For a small delay you can set the VBV buffer up to 800 msec., but when the video content is complex, it is possible that a buffer overflow occurs and because of this the stream is faulty.

)

Between the VBV buffer, the enabled padding mode and the transport rate exists a closed connection and their settings have an effect to the video. Therefore we recommend the following: Big VBV buffer value

Small transport rate value Small

VBV buffer value

→ Big transport rate value

)

This field has only an effect when padding is ‘ON’.

Specifies the used profile. Profiles specify the syntax (i.e. algorithms) of the video codec. You can select between:

Baseline

Main (uses CABAC)

Main Cabac Off (uses CAVLC)

High

Video Details:

Specifies the aspect ratio. If an analogue input signal includes the WSS (Wide Screen

Signal) the encoder can detect whether the input signal is in 16:9 or in 4:3, when menu ‘Aspect Ratio’ is switched to ‘AUTO’. If your video source does not include the

WSS in its analogue output signal, although you have a ’16:9’ signal, you can manually switch in this field the encoder to ’16:9’ or ‘4:3’.

Specifies the frame rate divider value. The frame rate will be divided of this set value and can be thereby reduced.

Specifies the encoding mode. You can choose between:

AUTO (Decision via visual conten)

PROGRESSIVE

Specifies the resolution for the down conversion. If HD/SD permission is enabled, following resolutions are available:

OFF
