Ho w to Us e DME Onlin e He lp To p ic s fo r B e s t Re s u lts
You are encouraged to become thoroughly familiar with the information contained in this
documentation before getting started.
The DME is a complex and highly-configurable product that can be used to transmux and
stream video in a variety of different ways.
For best results, it is recommended that you use online help as follows:
1. Read the introduction and install the hardware as explained in the
Introduction and
Installation topics.
2. Carefully review the
Getting Started topics. Pay particular attention to How the DME
Functions and Plan for your DME Deployment.
3. Carefully review the
Configure a DME Stream topics. Find the input and output use
cases that are appropriate for your site and follow the step-by-step instructions.
4. While configuring your DME inputs and outputs, refer to the reference topics (for
example
System Configuration or Input Stream Configuration) for detailed information
about each configurable parameter.
5. If you run into trouble, see the
Logging and Monitor and Logs topics for help with
finding errors or troubleshooting problems. If you experience unexpected behavior, see
the DME Release Notes for caveats that may apply.
6. For step-by-step procedures that fully explain the encoder setup and the DME setup for
multicast relays, see the
