Discovery of Epiphan devices
Use the new Epiphan Connect application on Android and iOS as an alternative to the desktop based discovery utility.
The application has built-in support for opening the tablet operator interface and can be configured to automatically
open the tablet interface if connected to the Lecture Recorder x2 by USB.
Mobile tethering
Release 3.11.0 introduces the option to use mobile tethering for recording control, confidence monitoring and mobile
network file transfers. Configure mobile data tethering and turn on automatic file uploads to automatically transfer
files to a remote site using the public mobile network. Alternatively, choose to tether for confidence monitoring and
recording control only.
Configure the Lecture Recorder x2 to use no mobile data, to use Ethernet normally and switch to mobile data if the
Ethernet becomes unavailable, or to mobile data as the preferred transmission method.
Other Improvements:
l Starting with release 3.11.0, you can customize the prefix used for recorded files. Use this to identify files being
auto-uploaded from various rooms at a conference, or to keep track of which source is being recorded. See
Configure the type and length of recording files
l Customize the buttons on your Lecture Recorder x2. Select the action for the two buttons on the front of the
device, and for attached USB mouse or keyboards.
l Inputs that have an incoming signal and are part of a configured channel can be previewed on the Stream
Setup page. A static screenshot is shown and can be updated manually by clicking reload screenshot.
l Encode SVideo input without DVI or VGA input. You can now enable or disable the VGADVI input on your
Lecture Recorder x2. When disabled the S-Video input will be the only source used for the resulting stream. By
default VGADVI is enabled, and it is always the primary input if both inputs are enabled. Disable it from the
Stream Setup page.
l MPEG-TS format recording. This robust encoding mechanism has no index or trailer structures making it the
most fault tolerant format supported by the Lecture Recorder x2. MPEG-TS files are ready for streaming over
HTTP, RTP and UDP.
l Ensuring multiple sources are synchronized and time-stamped precisely is easier than ever. with support for
PTP time synchronization.
l H.263 (an older Flash implementation) is replaced with MPEG-4. As of Flash Player 9, update 3 (in December
2007), Flash supports H.264 encoding. If H.264 does not suit your needs, you can still support older players with
the MPEG-4 codec. The exact codec supported is MPEG-4 Advanced Simple Profile.
