This section lists the settings found in the Video unit Peripherals tab, in the Video task.
In the Peripherals tab, you can view all the peripheral devices (inputs/outputs,
audio encoders/decoders) found on the unit that are not explicitly shown as entities, such
as the video encoders or video decoders.
- Peripheral State (LED)
-
- Green (
): Active peripheral. - Red (
): Peripheral disabled by user. - Yellow (
): Peripheral activation in progress.
NOTE: If the LED stays yellow, it indicates that the peripheral is either not supported or has problems, in which case it is recommended to disable it.
- Green (
- Name
- Logical name. It is the same as the physical name by default.
- Logical ID
- Logical identifier.
- Description
- Description of the device.
You can also modify the selected peripheral devices.
- Edit the item (
) - Change the settings of the selected peripheral device.
- Enable/Disable selected items (/)
- Enable or disable the selected peripheral devices.
Output relay settings
The setting specific to output relays is as follows:
- Default mode
- Default state of the output relay.
- Normally option
- The normal contact state of the output is open.
- Normally closed
- The normal contact state of the output is closed.
Speaker settings
The settings specific to speakers (audio decoder devices) are as follows:
- Volume
- Desired volume level (0 to mute, 100 equals maximum volume).
- UDP port
- Port number used when the connection type is unicast UDP.
- Connection type
- Connection type that is used between the unit and the Archiver for this audio decoder.
Microphone settings
The settings specific to microphones (audio encoder devices) are as follows:
- Data format
- Audio compression format.
- Input type
- Type of input source.
- Line in
- Used for pre-amplified source.
- Mic in
- Use this if the microphone is directly connected to the unit. In this case, the signal is amplified by the hardware.
- Internal
- Use microphones integrated to the unit.
- Sensitivity
- Desired amplification level (default=68). The lower the level, the less sensitive the microphone is to ambient noise, but the recording level will also be lower.
- UDP port
- Port number used when the connection type is unicast UDP.
- Connection type
- Connection type that is used between the unit and the Archiver for this audio encoder.
- Multicast address
- The multicast address and port number are assigned automatically by the system when the video unit is discovered. Each audio encoder is assigned a different multicast address with a fixed port number. This is the most efficient configuration.
