INTRODUCTION
The PEG PLUS is a stand-alone MPEG-2 or H.264 digital video PEG channel encoder with a single SD/HD-SDI, or composite
video input, and an IP-encapsulation output via a single SFP Ethernet port. A separate RJ45 10/100 Ethernet port is provided
for control and monitoring capability.
The PEG PLUS features selectable SDI PCM-embedded audio, or analog left and right audio. Audio compression can be
either Dolby® Digital, MPEG1-Layer 2 stereo, or AAC stereo.
An optional Zixi output protocol is also available to provide the ability to stream content in H.264 format over an unmanaged
network, including the public internet. The Zixi UDP-based video optimized protocol provides professional broadcasters,
sports networks, and service providers a mechanism to adapt to the public internet using standard IP networks as a way to
ingest and transport broadcast quality video.
An optional rack mount panel is available for up to (2) PEG PLUS encoders.

Installation & Power-Up
Unpacking
You will nd the following items in the box:
•PEG PLUS Encoder Unit (QTY = 1)
•Power Adapter (QTY = 1)
Power-Up
Plug the Power Adapter into a power plug (120 VAC, 60Hz). Plug the power pin into the back of the PEG unit at the input
marked “DC Power”.
Installation & Setup
For safe and reliable operation, only use the power adapter supplied with the PEG PLUS Encoder.
For safe and reliable operation, do not place objects within 1 inch of the unit that blocks the airflow.
A 1RU (1.75”) open space must be provided above the PEG PLUS encoders when mounted in a 19 inch rack or cabinet
to allow air ow for encoder heat dissipation. Drake’s PEG-RP-2 accessories or a standard 19” rack shelf can be used for
mounting 2 PEG PLUS encoder modules in 1RU.
Installation
The PEG PLUS Encoder is designed to be mounted on a desktop in close proximity to a 120 VAC, 60Hz power outlet.

Destination IP / Hostname: Destination unicast or multicast IP address or Hostname
determined by the downstream network device.
Destination Port: Destination port assigned to the IP or Hostname of the IP Output
TTL (Time to Live): TTL is an upper bound on the time that an IP packet can exist in an
IP network. The value is set by the sender of the packet, and reduced by every host on
the route to packet’s nal destination. If the Time to Live reaches zero before the packet
arrives at its nal destination, then the packet is discarded. The purpose of this eld is to avoid an undeliverable packet
from circulating on an IP network perpetually. The range is 1 to 255 and is incremented by 1. (Factory Default: "128").
DiffServ / DSCP: Congures the value of the differentiated services code point (DSCP) eld in the IPv4 header for the
video output stream. The format of this eld is specied by IETF RFC2474, but actual values are specied by several
related RFCs. The encoder does not support explicit congestion notication (ECN) which makes use of the lower 2 bits
of this header eld. (See Figure 4f for available options)

Click on the plus (+) sign next to each Output section title (See Figure 4h) in order to expand the section.
All settings may now be seen (See Figure 4i). To close the section again, simply click the minus (-) sign in the title.
The following options can now be set for Zixi Output Stream 1 and Stream 2:
Zixi Output (Stream 1) (See Figure 4j, next page)
Enable Output:Options are Enable or Disable.
Channel: Uniquely identies a given stream on the port. Several streams can be “multiplexed” on the same UDP port.
Password:Used to prevent unauthorized connections but does not encrypt the stream. The encoder's password MUST
match the decoder's password. Note: An empty eld is equivalent to no password.
Max Latency:Used to set maximum allowed latency of the stream over the Zixi protocol. Units are in milliseconds and
are numeric values ranging from 100 to 5000 in increments of 100. Default option is “Auto”.
a) Setting Max Latency to a low value means more forward error correction (FEC) is needed to guarantee stream
delivery.
b) Setting Max Latency to a higher value allows the Zixi layer to use re-transmission instead of / in addition to FEC.
NOTE: In general, higher latency yields lower CPU load on the encoder and less overhead on the data rate.
Hostname/IP Address: User-dened IP address or host name.
Port:The UDP port used for communicating from the encoder-to-broadcaster. Default port used by Zixi broadcasters
is "2088".
