IDC P561 Audio Encoder

About

The P561 Audio Encoder features MPEG-4 advanced audio coding (MPEG-4 AAC) and MPEG Layer II encoding capabilities. All of the common bit rates and sample rates are offered to enhance the IP delivery of audio.

The P561 is an audio encoder for up to eight stereo channels, capable of transporting elementary streams over IP and DVB-compliant MPEG-2 transport stream output via IP or ASI.

The IDC P561 Audio Encoder connector is used to monitor and control a P561 Audio Encoder device. It provides an overview of the different parameters of the device along with its statuses and generated alarms. The connector uses SNMP to retrieve the data from the device.

Installation and configuration

Creation

SNMP Main Connection

This connector uses a Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) connection and requires the following input during element creation:

SNMP CONNECTION:

  • IP address/host: The polling IP of the device.

SNMP Settings:

  • Port number: The port of the connected device, by default 161.
  • Get community string: The community string used when reading values from the device, by default skyline.
  • Set community string: The community string used when setting values on the device, by default skyline.
