PEGvault-SD
Digital Video Encoder
Thank you for purchasing a PEGvault-SD broadcast digital video encoder. The PEGvault-SD makes
it simple to digitally record any video source with the push of a button. The PEGvault-SD records
industry-standard MPEG-2 les for use with a LEIGHTRONIX NEXUS series server/controller (Ul-
traNEXUS and NEXUS), LGX-SVOD, or a compatible third party server or storage location. The
PEGvault-SD can also be integrated with a LEIGHTRONIX Internet streaming video-on-demand ap-
plication, allowing you to record les optimized for a LEIGHTRONIX streaming Web site.
For even greater exibility, the PEGvault-SD also includes a Web interface that can be used to oper-
ate your PEGvault-SD record and transfer features from any location while also providing administra-
tive options for setting up le transfer destinations, changing recording quality presets, managing les
on the PEGvault’s internal hard drive, and accessing the system’s log les.

PEGvault-SD Web interface. Click the “Save” button to make the change. The new name will appear in the
“File Name” eld on the “File Settings” tab.

within which the le will be recorded.
NOTE: If you selected a LEIGHTRONIX streaming Web site (“Internet VOD Streaming”) as an auto-
matic le transfer destination, your les will be recorded at the “Streaming” setting for all
selected le destinations. The “Good,” “Better,” and “Best” le record quality settings will
be ignored.

est within the video.
Either enter a custom name (20 characters maximum) for your index points into
the name eld below the “Stop” record button or leave it blank and the PEGvault-

index point with a new custom name, click the “Clear Index” button and then type a
new name into the name eld before clicking the “Set Index” button.
