Configuration / Video In
Under the Configuration section, select the Video In tab to perform the following operations:
x Preview – This section allows you to view a thumbnail preview image of the camera’s
video input. This feature requires that the MJPEG encoder be enabled on the camera,
otherwise a placeholder image will be shown indicating “No Video Input”. To enable
MJPEG video, see sections General and Video Compression below.
x General – This section allows you to configure basic settings of the encoder module
relating to management of video inputs.
o Enable video input – This checkbox allows you to enable / disable the input.
o Select Sensor – Select the appropriate HD camera sensor model connected to
Atomas Mini. Select Custom if you would like to disable any command / control
communication between the encoder module and the camera sensor; in this
mode the encoder will act as a slave and only process incoming video data. In
custom mode, the camera sensor command and control will only be accessible
via a transparent TCP connection over which an external program will have the
ability to exchange command and control data with the camera sensor directly.
o Digital Format – Select the video resolution you would like to use on the
connected HD camera sensor. The selected value will be set to the camera
sensor upon boot-up, unless the sensor is set to Custom, in which case the
encoder module will not communicate with the camera sensor.
