The PEG-NE24-IP/PEG-NE24-IP-C is a High Definition (HD)/Standard Definition (SD) video encoder with IP output.
The PEG encoder has two IP output streams available, one HD or SD and one SD based on the Composite or HD/
SD-SDI input source resolution. For each output stream, UDP is encapsulated SPTS (single program transport stream).
The PEG-NE24 is controlled through a web page interface. The web page provides remote monitoring and updating
capabilities and SNMP traps for status updates.
•Encodes a HD & SD stream of the same content in either MPEG-2 or H.264 formats
•Optional In-band management with VLAN support on SFP output
•GUI-based menu for local & remote configuration (Password Protected)
•Configuration and shutdown control via HTTP server UI and programmable API
•Unicast or Multicast is defined by the IP address

Unpacking
You will find the following items in the box:
• PEG Encoder Unit (QTY = 1)
• Power Adapter (QTY = 1)
Installation
The PEG Encoder is designed to be mounted on a desk-top or table-top in the close proximity to a 120 VAC – 60 HZ
power plug.
A 1RU (1.75”) open space must be provided above the PEG encoders when mounted in a 19 inch rack or cabinet to
allow air flow for encoder heat dissipation. Drake’s PEG-RP-3/PEG-RK-KIT accessories or a standard 19” rack shelf can
be used for mounting 3 encoder modules in 1RU. See image below.
Power-Up
Plug the Power Adapter into a power plug (120 VAC – 60 HZ). Plug the power pin into the back of the PEG unit at the
input marked “DC Power”.

Compositing allows rendering static images over video frames before compression. It supports PNG images
including alpha channel / transparency.
Displays only when an image file has been uploaded.
PLEASE NOTE:
1. It takes some time for the image to be uploaded via the web form, pre-processed (making the thumbnail, padding
if necessary) and then loaded by the encoder. It takes about 8-10 seconds for a 720x480 image via gigabit LAN.
2. In addition to uploading the image, "Enable Overlay" under "Overlay Placement" on the right must be set to
"Enabled".
3. "Overlay for No Input (480i)," the image resolution must be no larger than 720x480, "Overlay for (720p)," image
resolution must be no larger than 1280x720, and "Overlay for (1080i)," image resolution must be no larger than
1920x1080.

User may configure the following previously fixed-value parameters:
Transport Stream ID - Configures the transport stream ID number used Program Specific Information (PSI) tables in the stream.
MPEG Program Number - Configures the MPEG Program used in all PSI tables for this stream.
PMT, Video, and Audio PIDs:
•Configures the Packet Identifier (PID) used to transmit all Program Map Tables in the stream.
•Configures the PID used to transmit Video and associated data.
•Configures the PID used to transmit audio and associated data.
All PIDs are displayed in Hex format. If you type a decimal format into the field, the GUI will automatically convert
your decimal format to a Hex value. PIDs are expressed in both decimal & hex formats to the right of the entry field.
Audio Language Descriptor - Configures the ISO 639 audio language. Use 3-character "Alpha-3" code for this setting.
P-Frames per GOP - Specifies total number of P frames in a Group-of-Pictures (GOP).
B-Frames between I/P- Specifies number of B frames between each I or P frame in a GOP.
Native Res. Advanced Settings - Video GOP Settings: When streaming H.264 HD stream the default
P-Frame per GOP is 14 and the default B-Frame between I/IP is 3, which gives you a default Total GOP
Length of 60.
SD Only Advanced Settings - Video GOP Settings: When streaming MPEG-SD stream the default
P-Frame per GOP is 4 and the default B-Frame between I/IP is 2, which gives you a default Total GOP
Length of 15.
Service Info Type:
If Service Info Type is set to "DVB (NIT+SDT)" it also enables the fields:
•DVB Network Name - Specifies the "Network Name" in the DVB NIT table.
•DVB Service Name - Specifies the "Service Name" in the DVB SDT table.
•DVB Provider Name - Specifies the "Provider Name" in the DVB SDT table.
If Service Info Type is set to "ATSC (MGT+VCT)":
•VCT Short Name: 7-letter name for the channel.
Major Channel Number / Minor Channel Number: Specifies the two-part channel number in the VCT, typically
displayed in the format major-minor, for example "2-1".
DiffServ / DSCP - Configures the value of the differentiated services code point (DSCP) field in the IPv4 header for
the video output stream. The format of this field is specified by IETF RFC2474, but actual values are specified by
several related RFCs. The encoder does not support explicit congestion notification (ECN) which makes use of the
lower 2 bits of this header field.
VLAN PCP / QoS - Configures the value of the Ethernet-frame level Priority Code Point in the IEEE802.1q VLAN
tag as specified by IEEE 802.1p. This setting only applies when the SFP video network has VLAN tagging enabled.
These values should be left at their default values unless the user has a specific reason to change them.
