14. Create buttons on both this project’s main page and within this Video page which can allow the user to navigate
between both pages.
15. Save these pages, and after establishing a connection, upload this project to the target Modero panel.
Step 5: Establishing the final connection between the two units
1.
Start playing the media at its source (DVD, VCR, camera, etc.)
2. While in the UI pages (log back in if not already connected), navigate to the Administration page by clicking on the
Admin link from the left Navigation frame.
3. Locate the Mode section of this page and click the Play button to begin streaming the incoming media content to
the targeted Modero panel. For these procedures, the Program information is optional and not "picked-up" by the
panel.
4. With the panel now loaded with the new TPD4 project containing the streaming media page/popup/button, navigate
from the initially displayed (main) page to the page containing the Streaming Video Fill button which we created in
the previous step. It should now be displaying the audio and video from the incoming stream.
If the audio level is not sufficient, you can either go back and create a volume control button or go to the
Modero’s Audio firmware page and adjust the value assigned to the Master Volume for the panel.
If there is no video being displayed on the page:
Navigate to the firmware pages by pressing the grey Front Setup Access button for 3 seconds to open the
Setup page and then press the on-screen Video Adjustment button, causing an option bar to slide outwards
from the Navigation buttons.
Click on the Streaming Adjustment button to launch the Streaming Video Settings page and confirm that
the panel is at least receiving the signal (FIG. 139).
If there is no signal displayed, return to the MAX-CSE UI pages and from the Encoder Profiles page,
confirm that the correct panel IP Address and target port where entered into the Streaming Source field
within the TPDesign4 project.
If this still doesn’t produce a displayed signal, cycle the Play/Stop buttons and verify that both the encoding
Status says Streaming (verifying that the process of encoding is underway) and that the unit is detecting an
incoming signal (shown by the word SYNC appearing in the Video Sync section of the UI).
The most common error can result from a bad cable not being detected and therefore no signal becomes
available for the unit to encode. The encoding process can continue on a MAX-CSE even without an actual
signal being detected.
Modero doesn’t require that an audio port be entered within the Streaming Source
field because the firmware already assumes the audio port value to be 2 greater than
the value set for the video port.
