MAX-CSE/MAX-CSD10 Operation/Reference Guide

Displaying Stream Content

Overview

The MAX-CSE Media Encoder can currently stream A/V signals and direct them to IP-enabled devices

capable of interpreting and displaying the incoming MPEG data using either RTP or UDP Transport

Protocols. These outgoing signals can be displayed by:

 A VG-Series Modero Touch Panel (supporting MPEG-2/MPEG-4 streams)

 A computer running third-party multi-media player capable of supporting UDP/RTP

streaming protocols.

 At this time, we are recommending using the open-source VLC Media Player® (version

0.8 or higher).

Requirements for Receiving Streamed Content

To receive and display content via a Modero panel:

 Verify you have installed the latest version of TPDesign4 version 2.6 or higher on your PC.

Updates are available from the www.amx.com > Tech Center > Application Files > Touch

Panel Design Tools section of the website. This application is needed to create the necessary

page (popup page) used to display the incoming MPEG audio/video stream, identify the IP of

the source MAX-CSE, and define the target audio/video ports on the panel.

 Verify you have installed the latest firmware on your target Modero panel. Updates are

available from the www.amx.com > Tec h Center > Firmware Files > Modero Panels

section of the website. Modero VG-Series firmware version 2.55.12 or earlier only supports

MPEG-2 streaming media (using UDP).

MPEG-4 is only supported by the latest VG-Series Modero panel firmware.

 It is necessary to understand that Modero firmware is configured to look for audio on a port

whose value is two greater than that set for the video port. When configuring the Target Video

and Target Audio ports within the MAX-CSE’s UI Stream Profiles page, the value entered

into the Target Audio field must be exactly 2 above the value entered into the Targe t Po rt

(video) field.

 If you enter a Target Port value of 5000, when using RTP, you must enter a value

of 5002 into the Target Audio Port field.

 If using UDP, only the Target Por t (video) field is user-definable because both the video

and audio are sent out by the CSE as one stream and therefore there is no reason to define

a separate audio port. Entering a value of 5000 into this field will, by default, cause the

target Modero panel to look for the incoming audio portion of the stream on the same

port as the video (port 5000).

 Obtain the IP Address being used by the target Modero panel by locating the IP Address field

on the firmware’s System Settings page.

 Determine what is the available data rate for the network on which the encoder currently

resides. This information will determine what encoder profile can be used on the outgoing

If using RTP (as both the Target Port and the Target Audio Port for the split stream) it

is strongly recommended that this port number be an even value.

Using odd numbered port values will cause the stream to not be properly recognized

by the target Modero panel.
