3.7.6.3 How to Set Up Your Services
After configuring your hardware, described to the previous section, the required
output services can then be added to enable multi-screen functionality.
Setting Up Transcode
If you have installed and configured a Transcode Card in the slots whose card role
is “Decode/Encode” then you can now set up your unit for transcode operation.
To set up transcode:
1. Configure the IP input stream that you wish to use as your source in the usual
way.
2. Configure a transcode service (not an encode service), by dragging-and-
dropping a service from the Input panel to a Transport Stream in the Output
panel.
Note: The input service must contain HD (1080i or 720p) resolution video.
Setting Up HD-SDI Input (Encode)
If you have installed and configured an Encode Card in the slots whose card role is
“Decode/Encode” then you can now set up your unit for encode operation.
To set up HD-SDI Input (Encode):
1. Configure an encode service in the usual way, by dragging-and-dropping a
component from the Input panel to a Service in the Output panel.
Note: The input service must be HD (1080i or 720p) resolution video.
Adding Additional Output Services (Including ABR)
At this stage, you should have a service configured using the Decode/Encode card
and additional output services can now be added to this initial configuration.
To set up additional output services:
1. Right-click on the configured Output Service, and select Add Additional Output
Service from the displayed menu.
