Connections
HTTP Connection
This connector uses an HTTP connection and requires the following input during element creation:
HTTP CONNECTION:
- IP address/host: The polling IP or URL of the destination.
- IP port: The IP port of the destination (default: 8443).
- Device address: The bus address of the device. If the proxy server has to be bypassed, specify BypassProxy.
Initialization
To authenticate the connection to the device, fill in the credentials on the General page of the element.
How to use
Device Type Configuration
The connector functions either as an encoder or as a decoder. When credentials have been filled in correctly, system status information will be requested from the device. Based on the response data, the device will be automatically configured as encoder or decoder. However, you can manually override this setting by adjusting the Device Type parameter on the General page. Based on the configured device type, the connector will send different commands to the device. Additionally, different pages will be shown based on this setting.
Poll Manager
This connector uses a Poll Manager to execute commands on certain configured intervals. You can adjust these intervals for every command by setting the required Poll Frequency.
You can also completely disable certain commands if these are not required.
Debug
This connector has a DEBUG page, which can be consulted for more detailed communication or behind-the-scenes settings.
This page is hidden by default. To show or hide the page, use the Show Debug Page parameter on the General page.
Other Parameters
On the General page of this connector, you can configure the username and password to access the device. You can also find some system status parameters and some configuration settings for the connector here.
The Video Encoders page, Audio Encoders page, Encoder Streams page, Decoders page, and Decoder Streams page contain all information related to the configured video encoders, audio encoders, encoder streams, decoders, and decoder streams, respectively. You can perform various actions via the context menu of the tables.
