Introduction The NVT-1212 is a powerful and easy to use device for audio-, video- and TV-signal distribution in local networks. Furthermore HDMI and stereo cinch connectivity is provided for local TV screen or projector operation. For best convenience the NVT-1212 is completely configurable through a web based interface. The IP based Network Video API ensure best usability from R Crestron , R RTI , R etc. external automation systems like AMX , This manual explains the set up and wiring of the NVT-1212 as well as the usage of the web interface and its functionality. 1.1 Connectors 110 ~ 240 V 50 ~ 60 Hz Analog Audio HDMI CAM DVB-S 1 DVB-C/T IN 2 2 NVT-1212 jusst technologies GmbH Made in Germany 1 R 1 L 2 3 4 1 5 3 2 6 4 OUT 7 Figure 1.1: NVT-1212 rear panel The numbers in the NVT-1212 rear panel illustration shown above correspond to the numbered items in the following list: 1. Mains connector (cable included in delivery), 115V or 230V optional, with two-phase fuse and power switch 2. Analogue stereo output 3. Local TV output (HDMI 1.3a) 4. 2 CI notches for CAM (Common Access Module), Slot 1 = Low, Slot 2 = Up 5. Reset button 6. Four RJ45 plugs to connect network up to 1GbE (10MBit/s, 100MBit/s, 1GBit/s) 7. Antenna input - DVB-S/S2 device only: Antenna input 1 und 2, DVB-C/C2/T/T2 device only: Antenna input and output (for chaining) 2. Installation This chapter describes how the NVT-1212 is installed and prepared for operation. 2.1 Environment and power supply Any NVT-1212 has to be installed in air-conditioned or well-ventilated environments. Make sure that the ethernet and DVB system wiring is easily accessible and without any kinks. Exclusively use high-quality cables with accurately assembled plugs to connect with the DVB tuner input. Pay particular attention to a correct shielding of all DVB cables. Use the enclosed power cable to connect the power outlet with the mains connector at the rear panel of the NVT-1212. Important Since the device is earth grounded through the power cable it may only be operated from mains sockets with grounding contacts. This must not be interrupted with an extension cable without grounding wire. 2.2 Mounting into 19“-racks The NVT-1212 is designed for 19“-rack-mounting. Both mounting brackets can be removed by unbolting the M3 screws on both sides of the case. (Rounded head screws, to stabilize the case after removing the mounting brackets, and four rubber feet can be ordered as accessory kit.) To mount the NVT-1212 case in a 19“-rack, four standard server mount screws are required. Add synthetical washer between screw and mounting brackets to not damage the NVT-1212 finishing. 2.3 Network The NVT-1212 has an integrated 4-Port Gigabit Ethernet Switch. Other devices or further switches (Uplink) can be connected to these four ports on the rear panel (see Figure 1.1, connectors 8, page 7). In delivery state the NVT-1212 is configured for usage with a DHCP server. This enables you to quickly configure the NVT-1212 with any web browser of your own choice and integrate it into the local network. If no DHCP server can be found, the NVT-1212 automatically configures its IP address as 192.168.0.100. Note After bootup the current IP address is displayed on the on screen display of the local TV output device if connected. 10 2.4 Chapter 2. Installation DVB The NVT-1212 is equipped with two DVB tuners (optional DVB-S/S2 or DVB-C/T/T2). Connect at least one antenna cable to the antenna input plugs on the rear panel (see Figure 1.1, connectors 9, 10, page 7). 2.4.1 Option DVB-S/S2 With this option it is strongly recommended to supply both antenna inputs with satellite signals. Only this way two channels from different transponders can be received in parallel. Furthermore, double satellite signal connection allows EPG data scanning in background. In the web interface the two tuners are refered to as tuner 1 and tuner 2 according to the numbering on the back panel of the NVT-1212 (see Figure 1.1, connectors 9, page 7). Important If only one tuner is connected, the other one has to be disabled in the web interface! All configured channels can be received and forwarded with both tuners. How the tuners are used is decided internally depending on current requirements. 2.4.2 2.5 Option DVB-C/C2/T/T2 With this option the NVT-1212 has only one antenna input (IN), the lefthand plug of connectors 10 on the rear panel (see Figure 1.1, connectors 10, page 7), which serves both tuners. The righthand female connector (OUT) can be used to extend the input cable to another NVT-1212 or any other tuner. Connect a local TV To directly connect a display to the NVT-1212 use the local TV output connector (see Figure 1.1, connector 3, page 7). Note A display connection simplifies the initial start up and should therefore be established prior to the bootup since the current IP address is displayed on the on screen display of the local TV output device after bootup. 2.6 Connect an audio amplifier with analogue inputs The cinch female connectors, labeled with R(ight) and L(eft) (see Figure 1.1, connectors 4, page 7) provide analogue line level audio signals for external audio amplifiers or active speakers. Note The analogue audio output has to be enabled in the web interface (see subsection 4.3.4). 2.7 Usage of a CAM with smartcard Reception of encrypted channels requires the use of a CAM (Conditional Access Module) with suitable smartcard (see Figure 1.1, Slot 5, page 7). The CAM has to be inserted with its connector first. The guiding pegs on the CAM’s connector prevent from inverted mounting. More information about the operation of the CAM can be retrieved from the dedicated CAM documentation (see subsection 4.3.7, page 24). 3. Bootup When the NVT-1212 is installed it can be booted by switching on the power switch on the rear panel. It takes a few seconds until the device is ready for operation. 3.1 Front panel LEDs The NVT-1212 has two green status LEDs on its front panel. The left LED indicates power on state by steady light right after switching on the power switch. The right one blinks during the boot sequence and changes to steady light when booting is finished and local TV output is ready for use. 3.2 IP address After the bootup is finished (steady light from both LEDs) the current IP address of the NVT-1212 is displayed on local TV output. In delivery state the NVT-1212 is configured for usage with a DHCP server. If no DHCP server can be found, the NVT-1212 automatically configures its IP address as 192.168.0.100. From that moment on the web interface is accessible and can be used for configuration and operation. 4. Web interface This chapter describes the web interface and its usage in detail. 4.1 Access The NVT-1212 is fully configurable through the web interface from any computer in the same network. The web interface can be accessed with the following URL: http://server_ip:8080/ Note After bootup the current IP address of the NVT-1212 is displayed on the on screen display of the local TV output device. If DHCP service is not available, the IP address is initially set to 192.168.0.100. When the web interface is called the following login screen appears: Figure 4.1: Login Screen Use the following login data and select between english or german language. Chapter 4. Web interface 14 User: admin Passwort: admin 4.1.1 Minimised mode On mobile devices the web interface is automatically displayed in minimised mode. In this mode the navigation bar is hidden, while the general structure is maintained. The view is automatically scaled to the smaller screen size. Figure 4.2: Overview menu, minimised mode Figure 4.2, page 14 shows the Overview menu in minimised mode as displayed on mobiles or compact screen devices. Note To unhide the navigation bar use the menu icon in the top left corner of the page. 4.2 Overview 4.2 15 Overview After login to the web interface the Overview menu opens, see Figure 4.3, page 15. Figure 4.3: Overview menu The Overview menu provides general information about the system, its network integration as well as information concerning the tuners and storage units if connected. All information is updated in real-time. The tuner and network overview tabs are always displayed while the Storage menu as seen in Figure 4.2, page 14 appears only when a storage device is detected. The afore mentioned tabs are exclusively informational while the System information tab which is displayed below them provides buttons on the right side to set the date and time or to carry out a system update. Note With firmware version 1.9.0.9 and later more detailed tuner information, i.e. signal strength and signal to noise ratio (SNR), is available. Date and time Date and time can be set by hitting the Change button next to the displayed date and time. It can be set either manually or a NTP Server can be selected for synchronisation. Note Please keep in mind, that the current date and time info is lost when the NVT-1212 is switched off. After switching it on again date and time will be automatically synchronised with the DVB signal or an NTP server depending on what has been selected before. 16 Chapter 4. Web interface Firmware version To carry out a system update the update button next to the displayed firmware version can be used. Note An update is only processed if a newer firmware version is available on the web. Important During the complete update process the system needs an internet connection in order to download the latest firmware version and must not be powered down while update is in progress. The update is only complete after the automatic system reboot is finished. Login password The login password (default: admin) can be changed by hitting the Change password button in the bottom right corner of the Overview menu. In the appearing pop up form the old and new passwords have to be entered and activated with the Change button. 4.3 Settings On the left side of the web interface a permanently visible navigation bar is provided allowing for direct access to all status, configuration and operation menus. On the right side the information and configuration options according to the item selected in the navigation bar are displayed. The footer provides in its right corner menu specific control buttons which adapt to the currently called menu. In the following sections each item of the navigation bar and its configuration options are described in detail. 4.3.1 Channels In the Channels menu (see Figure 4.4, page 17) a user defined channel list can be configured containing all channels for streaming or local TV output. In the Channels menu this list is called Selected Channels list and is displayed on the left. On the right side of the Channels menu the Available Channels list can be found which provides all channels found during Channel search. For each channel all relevant properties and options are shown in the same line. Besides basic channel and provider information Service ID and Frequency required to externally request a stream are displayed as well. Note If the line width of the channel lists does not allow to display all channel properties and options (see Figure 4.5, page18), a plus icon appears in front of each channel name. When clicking the plus icon all properties and options which do not fit into the line are listed below the plus icon . To re-hide these lines, now click the minus icon . The generated Selected Channels list is tuner independent, which means that both tuners always work with the same channel list. Important All changes made to the Selected Channels list must be saved before leaving the Channels menu by hitting the Save button in the footer! 4.3 Settings 17 Figure 4.4: Channels menu showing Selected Channels and Available Channels lists with applied filter Add channel Channels can be added to the Selected Channels list by single click on the concerned channel entry in the Available Channels list (right list). After a channel entry has been single clicked in the Available Channels list its channel entry is moved to the Selected Channels list and automatically disappears from the Available Channels list. Note These icons represent the channel types: channel. = HD channel, = SD channel, = Radio Remove channel Channels can be removed from the Selected Channels list and added back to the Available Channels list by clicking the remove button at the end of the concerned channel line (see Figure 4.4, page17). With a single click on this button the channel entry is moved back to the Available Channels list and disappears from the Selected Channels list. Change channel order The channel order in the Selected Channels list can be changed by clicking and draging the handle icon in front of the channel name. When the handle icon is clicked the concerning channel can be dragged upwards or downwards to fit into the desired channel order. The channels are numbered ascending according to the order in the Selected Channels list. The first channel entry is referred to as 0. Filter Available Channels For quicker access to certain channels from the Available Channels list a filter can be applied. The filter has to be entered in the search field in the top right corner of the Available Channels 18 Chapter 4. Web interface frame and works in real-time. The filter accesses the channel and provider names from the Available Channels list. Note To display the complete channel list again, the filter criteria in the search field has to be deleted. Figure 4.5: Channels menu showing Selected Channels and Available Channels lists with extended filter as well as icon plus and icon minus Note In Figure 4.4, page 17 an exemplary filter with the characters bb is applied. All channels with one or more bb in their channel or provider names are displayed. Extending the filter to rbb (see Figure 4.5, page 18) reduces the display from 15 to 10 channels. Import/Export channel lists Channel lists containing the whole channel configuration can be exported as xml files by using the Export button in the right corner of the footer. After hitting the Export button an xml file named nvt-channels.xml is created and saved to the download folder of the employed browser. This xml file can then be reimported on any NVT-1212. To import a Selected Channels list the Import button next to the Export button in the right corner of the footer is used. When the button is hit, a pop up frame appears and the desired xml file can be selected and imported. 4.3 Settings 19 Channel tags To add channel tags which can be used for filtering or grouping purposes the button in the Tags column of the Selected Channels list must be clicked. After hitting the button a pop up text field appears to assign a tag. The tags can be used by the Network Video API of a NVT-1212 for integration into automation R Crestron , R RTI , R etc.. or other external systems like AMX , Note More informationen concerning the Network Video API is provided in the additional Network Video API documentation which can be found on our website. Volume control In some cases the volume level between channels may differ slightly. To compensate for a potential systematical volume mismatch between different channels the level can be adjusted from -4 to +6 dB for each channel. To change the volume level of a certain channel the button in the Volume column of the Selected Channels list must be clicked. After hitting the button a pop up slider bar appears. The slider adjusts the volume level of the selected channel. 4.3.2 Channel search In the Channel search menu (see Figure 4.6, page 19) an automatic channel search can be initialised. This is needed to fill the Available Channels list from the Channels menu with receivable channels. Figure 4.6: Channel search menu When a DVB-S/S2 system is employed some settings have to be made before starting the Channel search. If a DiSEqC system is in use, the DiSEqC switch has to be switched ON. In this case the correct DiSEqC position needs to be set with the provided slider bar. Independent from the use of a DiSEqC system the desired satellite has to be selected in any case. Therefore a list of country specific receivable satellites is provideded in a selection bar (see Figure 4.6, page 19). When the Channel search is performed for DVB-C/T/T2 no settings have to be made prior to the Channel search. Chapter 4. Web interface 20 The Channel search is started by clicking the Start scan button in the right corner of the footer. Important During a Channel search the current streaming and local TV output is interrupted. While the Channel search is performed the number of already detected channels and the currently scanned frequency are displayed (see Figure 4.7, page 20). When the Channel search is finished the web interface returns to the startpage of the Channel search menu. Note If the Channel search does not work properly, verify that the DVB system wiring is immaculate. Figure 4.7: Channel search menu during scan 4.3.3 Network In the Network menu the network settings of the NVT-1212 can be set according to the needs of the existing network (see Figure 4.8, page 21). To change the device’s hostname a new name can be entered in the Hostname text field. UPnP functionality can be turned on and off as desired with the Enable UPnP switch. By default it is enabled. 4.3 Settings 21 Figure 4.8: Network menu If no DHCP server is available, a static IP address has to be assigned. By default DHCP is enabled but can be turned off by selecting static in the eth0 option group. If DHCP is disabled, the whole set of network parameters have to be set manually. For detailed information on your network parameters contact your system administrator. Note After changing the IP address of the NVT-1212 the web interface has to be reopenedd using the new IP address. Important All changes made to the network parameters must be saved before leaving the Network menu by hitting the Save button in the footer. 4.3.4 TV output settings In the TV output settings menu all necessary adjustments for the local TV output can be made (see Figure 4.9, page 22). The video output mode can be set to one of the fixed modes (576p, 720p, 1080p) or to automatic mode which adjusts the video mode according to the preffered mode of the connected display. Therefore the desired item has to be chosen from the Video mode selection group. For the audio output of the currently played back stream three different output modes are available: HDMI (PCM 2.0), analogue stereo out (cinch connectors on the rear panel (see Figure 1.1, connectors 8, page 7)) or HDMI passthrough providing the native bytestream. The desired audio mode has to be selected from the Audio output selection group. To crop off image artefacts at the edges of the TV output picture a 4% overscan is set by default. The Overscan can be adjusted for SD and HD material separately with the Overscan slider bars. Chapter 4. Web interface 22 Figure 4.9: TV settings menu In some cases users without administrative rights might benefit from having access to the TV output menu for channel switching or changing the audio track, etc.. When Allow TV control with no login is enabled the TV output menu can be directly accessed without login by calling http://NVT-1212_ip:8080/tv. The default setting of Allow HDMI Clock adjustment is ON and allows to apply small deviations to the HDMI pixel clock to match it to the video content. This avoid synchronisations framedrops. In case of HDMI signal dropouts it can be helpful to disable this option. Important All changes made to the TV output settings must be saved before leaving the TV output settings menu by hitting the Save button in the footer. 4.3.5 Recording settings In the Recording settings menu the recording destination and its path can be set, as well as safety margin times applied before and after each recording (see Figure 4.10 Recorder settings menu, page 23). The NVT-1212 provides pre- and post-recording times of 3 minutes by default. This is sufficient for usual program time lags. If required, this value may be adapted with the Pre- and Post-Record slider bars. Recordings can be saved to a connected NAS share. To save recordings to a NAS the Use NAS for recordings switch has to be turned on. In this case the NVT-1212 expects a public Samba/Windows share. The desired NAS share has to be specified in NAS path as follows: //server/share. Note The NAS path serves simultaneously as recording destination and recording source for playback. 4.3 Settings 23 Note NAS shares using password security are not supported. Note It is not possible to schedule two or more recordings in parallel. Figure 4.10: Recorder settings menu Important If no a NAS partition is provided, recordings will fail. Important All changes made to the Recording settings must be saved before leaving the Recording settings menu by hitting the Save button in the footer. To initialise NAS access after switching Use NAS for recordings on, a reboot of the NVT-1212 is required. 4.3.6 Tuner settings The Tuner settings menu has to be used to switch a single tuner OFF or ON and to configure the settings for a tuner connection via Unicable (see Figure 4.11 Recorder settings menu, page 24). Both tuners are set to ON by factory-default. The connection by a Unicable requires a setting from OFF to EN50494 as well as the setting of frequency and slot. The exact information for these settings are to be find in the Unicable documentation. Important DVB-S/S2 - If only one of the two tuners is provided with a satellite signal, the unconnected tuner has to be disabled with the ON/OFF switch of the concerned tuner. 24 Chapter 4. Web interface Figure 4.11: Recorder settings menu Important All changes made to the Tuner settings must be saved before leaving the Tuner settings menu by hitting the Save button in the footer. 4.3.7 Common Interface The NVT-1212 is able to receive and decrypt encrypted channels from satellite, cable or terrestric with a CAM and a smartcard. Therefore, all available status information from the inserted CAMs is provided in the Common Interface menu. Furthermore, the encrypted Channels can be assigned to the CA modules as needed (see Figure 4.12 Common Interface menu, page 25). In the main view of the Common Interface menu two collapsibles, one for each Common Interface slot, can be found. Note The lower CI slot on the rear panel is Slot 1 and the upper one is Slot 2 (see Figure 1.1, slots 5, page 7)). When expanding the collapsibles three frames appear: The Common Interface State frame provides information on the inserted CAM. With the Reset Module button at the bottom of that frame the concerned CAM can be reseted. The Common Interface Menu frame shows the CAMs internal menu after requesting it from the CAM by hitting the Request Menu button at the bottom of the frame. Since this menu is provided by the CAM itself, information on its appearance and usage has to be gained from the documentation of the employed CA module. In the Channel Assignment (Use for channels) frame encrypted channels can be assigned to the related CAM for decryption. Therefore, a pop up channel list appears after hitting the Add Channel button. With a single click on the desired channel name in the list the channel is assigned to the CAM for decryption. Channels from the assigned channel list can be removed from the list by hitting the remove button behind the concerned channel name. 4.4 Operation 25 Figure 4.12: Common Interface menu Note If no channel is assigned to a CAM, the CAM tries to decrypt all encrypted channels from the Selected Channels list. Note CI+ is not supported. 4.4 4.4.1 Operation TV output The TV output menu offers all capabilities for controlling the playback on the local TV output and provides according program information (see Figure 4.13, page 26). In the Channel frame the first line displays the channel currently playing on the local TV output. The second and third lines show the now playing and upcoming program information according to the available EPG data. To change the currently played back channel a single click on the channel name opens a pop up list containing all channels from the Selected Channels list. By clicking one of the proposed channels from the pop up list the currently played back channel is instantly changed. To disable the local TV output Disable Output, which is the first item of the pop up list, has to be selected. Note More detailed EPG information for the now playing and upcoming program can be displayed in a pop up window by clicking on the underlined name of the now playing or upcoming program (see Figure 4.14, page 26). Chapter 4. Web interface 26 Figure 4.13: TV output menu Important If network streams from two different transponders are requested, the local TV output has to be disabled. Otherwise one tuner is occupied by the local TV output according to the Tuner Priority Rules. Figure 4.14: TV Output menu showing EPG details The Tracks frame provides an Audio selection box to choose from the available audio tracks and a Subtitles selection box to enable subtitles if provided. When one of the selection boxes is clicked a list with all concerning tracks shows up and a single click on the desired track instantly changes the output. 4.4 Operation 27 Note Subtitles are automatically disabled whenever the played back channel is changed. Teletext can be enabled with the Enable switch in the Teletext frame. After enabling, teletext page 100 is shown. To navigate through the teletext either the number box showing the currently displayed page or the coloured buttons at the bottom of the frame can be used. Note Teletext is automatically disabled whenever the played back channel is changed. Note Enabling teletext automatically disables subtitles and vice versa. 4.4.2 Streaming The Streaming menu provides all channels from the Selected Channels list as network video streams (see Figure 4.15, page 27). All channels from that list can be viewed right on the device from which the web interface is accessed. To start the video stream of a channel the channel name has to be single clicked in the Selected Channels list. Then a system pop up window appears to select the prefered media player (VLC is recommended), which ought to play back the video stream. Figure 4.15: Streaming menu with stream ZDF HD currently running in media player VLC The play back of the video stream is stopped by shutting down the media player. 4.4.3 Recordings The Recordings menu displays a list of all scheduled, active, incomplete and completed recordings (see Figure 4.16, page 28). Chapter 4. Web interface 28 Figure 4.16: Recordings menu Note Only recordings saved on a currently connected device are displayed. In the Recording Overview list the recordings are presented with the following line structure: • first line (dark blue background): Date and time of recording • second line: Name of recording • third line: Description of recording Each item in the Recording Overview provides a status indicator at the right end of the date and time line. The different recording states are indicated as follows: Symbol Erklärung scheduled recording active recording completed recording incomplete recording Table 4.1: Indication symbols of recording status Furthermore, a Delete and a Play on HDMI button are provided at the end of the recording name line to delete the concerning recording or to start its playback on the local TV output of the NVT-1212. Recordings can be scheduled with the Add schedule button on the right side of the footer. When this button is clicked the Selected Channels list appears and the desired recording channel has to be selected by single clicking the channel name in the list. Subsequently a dialogue with the selected channel displayed in the headline opens. The Start respectively End dates and times of the recording can be set in a comfortable popup (see Figure 4.18, page 29) while the name and 4.4 Operation 29 description of the recorded program can be edited as well if needed (see Figure 4.17, page 29). To stop a current recording ahead of time hit the button Stop . To edit the entry of a future recording hit the button Edit . Then the Schedule RecordingMenü (see Figure 4.17, Page 29 is reopened. Figure 4.17: Recordings menu, scheduling of recordings Note More convenience in the scheduling process can be derived from using the Network Video API, which is to be downloaded from http://www.jusst.de/downloads. Figure 4.18: Menü Aufnahmen, Neue Aufnahme erstellen 5. Network Streaming All channels from the Selected channels list (see Figure 4.15, page 27) can be provided as transport streams in the network. Since the NVT-1212 features only two tuners, it is not possible to distribute streams from more than two different transponders in parallel. But of course more than two streams can be provided in parallel if not more than two different transponders are needed to receive them. Note To ensure that channels from two different transponders are to be streamed into the network it may be necessary to disable the highest priority local TV output (see subsection 4.4.1, page 25). To request a stream in the network several ways of calling a certain channel are supported and introduced in the following: 1. Request a single program transport stream using a common media player on a Computer (VLC is recommended): • rtsp://NVT-1212-ip:8554/ • rtsp://NVT-1212-ip:8554/serviceid/ • rtsp://NVT-1212-ip:8554/channel/ Examples: • rtsp://NVT-1212-ip:8554/Das+Erste • rtsp://NVT-1212-ip:8554/serviceid/28106 • rtsp://NVT-1212-ip:8554/channel/12 2. Request from a network compatible set top box (i.e. NVR-101P) 3. Request from a DLNA/UPnP compatible TV device R Depending on the used media player, spaces must be replaced by + or %20. The channel name, the service ID(SID) or the channel position needed for requesting a stream with a media player can be retrieved from Selected channels list in the Channels menu (see Figure 4.15, page 27). Set top boxes and DLNA/UPnP compatible TV devices automatically recognize all accessible network streams and provide them through their own user interfaces. Therefore neither the IP address of the NVT-1212 nor channel names, Service IDs or channel positions are needed to be known. 6. Priority rules for tuner access Since the NVT-1212 is capable of providing up to 12 transport streams in parallel, which can be used for network streaming, local TV output or recordings, it is necessary to prioritise the access on the two available tuners. For network clients the tuner assignment process on the NVT-1212 is fully transparent and is employing the following priority rules: • Highest Priority: Local TV output. The local TV output is always served with highest priority, which means that one of the two tuners is imediatelly assigned to the transponder needed to receive the selected channel for local TV output, no matter which streams are requested from clients or for recording. • Mid Priority: Scheduled recordings. Giving the second highest priority to scheduled recordings assures that each scheduled recording is reliably executed irrespective of any other stream requests from network clients. • Lowest Priority: Network streaming clients. Network streaming clients are only served with a transport stream if at least one of the two tuners is inactive or the requested channel comes from an already used transponder. If more than one client requests streams the tuner acces priority respond to: first come, first served. Note To ensure that channels from two different transponders are to be streamed into the network it may be necessary to disable the highest priority local TV output (see subsection 4.4.1, page 25). 7. Network Video API For external control of an NVT-1212 a TCP/IP based protocol is available, which i.e. can be used R Crestron , R RTI , R etc.. The API with home automation or other control systems like AMX , supports complete control of the local TV output, scheduling and play back of recordings, as well as system and EPG information queries. More detailed information on the functionality and usage of the Network Video API of the NVT-1212 can be found in the dedicated documentation Network Video API Manual which can be found on http://www.jusst.de/downloads. R and AMX R applications are available and can also be Basic driver modules for Crestron downloaded from http://www.jusst.de/downloads. R applications is available and can be A more comprehensive driver module for Crestron downloaded from http://applicationmarket.crestron.com/. 8. Reset to factory-default The NVT-1212 can be reset to delivery state by pressing the reset button on the rear panel (see Figure 1.1, button 6, page 7) during boot up. Therefore, the reset button needs to be pressed before the device is switched on and has to be kept pressed until the boot up is completed. The reset restores all parameters and configurations to their factory-default settings. 9.
