Selecting SDI-specific Settings

For input 5 of an SMP 351 3G-SDI and SMP 352 3G-SDI you can select the quantization

range, which sets the black and white level for the RGB data of the SDI input.

To set the quantization:

Select one of the following options from the Quantization Range drop-down list:

Figure 61. Quantization Range Drop-down List

• Legal — Select this option when the YCbCr video data of the SDI source (input 5) is

within the "legal" range (64-940 for luma and 64-960 for chroma).

• Full — Select this option when the quantized YCbCr video data of the SDI source

uses the full range of available bandwidth.

NOTES:

• The SDI settings are disabled for inputs 1 through 4.

• Most SDI sources use the "legal" range.

Encoding & Layout

The controls within the Encoding & Layout page configure signal streaming and encoding

and also permit selection or configuration of video layouts. A user must be logged in as an

administrator to see or change these settings.

To open this page, click the Configuration > Encoding & Layout.

Figure 62. Configuration Tab, Encoding & Layout

The Encoding & Layout page opens. It features three expandable panels:

• Encoding Presets — Configure audio encoding, video encoding, and streaming

parameters, then create and save or recall presets of those settings.

• Layout Presets — Set the size, position, and aspect ratio of video windows for both

channels and save those settings as a preset or recall default or user-created preset,

also set the background image and configure metadata elements.

• Recording Profiles — Select metadata content to associate with an individual

recording file and save it to one of 32 Recording Profiles that can be recalled for

later use.

NOTES:

• Some of the encoder settings can also be set using the front panel menu

and controls (see Picture Control Menu on page30) or using Extron SIS

commands (see the Command and Response Tables on page114).

• Layout presets are set up in this web page or via the front panel menu (see the

SMP300SeriesEmbedded Web Pages Help File for additional information).
