AXENC Rear Panel View
Introduction to the AXENC
There are two modes of operation. Mode 1
Mode 1Mode 1
Mode 1: K Ultra HD Mode. Input video
format is K Ultra HD. Format must be the same as the camera provided
format. Mode 2
Mode 2Mode 2
Mode 2: HD Mode. Input video is HD video, this can be up to four
separate HD video streams. An optional software key is required.
Getting Started
Typical video format used must match the video source e.g. 2160p50 or
2160p59. P
PP
P Progressive mode must be used for K UHD (Ultra HD) mode.
The Video Sample Format must match the video source e.g. SQD (Square
Division) quad pictures or 2SI
2SI2SI
2SI (two sample Interleave).
The Camera format for this procedure as described in this operator’s
manual is set to 2160p 59.9 and 2SI
2SI2SI
2SI
Once the source format is determined the AXENC is powered from the
external 12 VDC power supply provided. No external connections are
required during the initial startup. Turn the power switch on to begin the
initialization boot up procedure.

Initializing Complete
The Initialization process takes approximately one minute. The Green LED
indicates the unit has initialized and in communication with the front panel
display. The Red LED indicates there are no input signals present.
In a typical test scenario at Wave Central the AXENC is connected to the
AXDEC via the ASI connectors, using 75 Ohm serial coax cable.

HEVC ENCODER SETTINGS
The Encoder settings are determined, using a Wave Central AXIS Wireless
camera System. The transmit signal is a DVB-T, 8 MHz channel in the
appropriate licensed channel. Modulation: 16-QAM, Code rate 2/3 and GI
(Guard Interval) 1/8, resulting of a Bit rate of 1 .7 Mbits/s. This will provide
an adequate robust signal and very acceptable K picture quality.
Remember this is a base line setting for system testing. Your requirements
will vary and the HEVC Encoder and Decoder can be adjusted to suite
those requirements.
Encoder locked to the four SDI video signals and a bit rate of 1 .5Mb, just
under the bit rate that the camera transmitter is set (1 .7Mb).
NAVIGATING THE HEVC ENC MENUS
