Installation & Power-Up
Unpacking
You will nd the following items in the box:
• PEG PLUS Encoder Unit (QTY = 1)
• Power Adapter (QTY = 1)
Installation
The PEG PLUS Encoder is designed to be mounted on a desktop in close proximity to a 120 VAC, 60Hz power outlet.
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.
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”.
For safe and reliable operation, only use the power adapter supplied with the PEG PLUS Encoder.

Enable Output: Options are Enable or Disable.
60
Channel: Uniquely identies a given stream on the port. Several streams can be “multiplexed” on the same UDP port.
61
Password: Used to prevent unauthorized connections but does not encrypt the stream. The encoder's password MUST
62
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
63
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-dened IP address or host name.
64
Port: The UDP port used for communicating from the encoder-to-broadcaster. Default port used by Zixi broadcasters
