TVU RPS One Model TM1100 Software QSUG v8.2

 

Before you begin

Before you use your TVU RPS One encoder, refer to the latest TVU RPS One Model TM1100 Hardware Quick Start User Guide to set up the hardware and identify the devices you intend to use with the unit, including cameras, cables, power sources, modems, TVU services, and unit accessories.

The TVU RPS One encoder running The One/RPS One Software version 8.2 (Build 82085) or later uses the same hardware, which features two LCD console interfaces:

  • The One single-channel transmitter
  • TVU RPS One multi-channel encoder

Note: To switch from a One to an RPS One console, contact TVU Support at support@tvunetworks.com. Once authorized, switching consoles is performed automatically. A reboot is necessary.

 

Single and multi-camera connections

The encoder’s LCD screen can be operated using single or multi-channel inputs. For input connection configurations and “Multi-Channel connections and behaviors,” refer to the following figures.

The following camera combinations are supported:

HDMI only – Up to 4K p60

HDMI only - Up to 4K p60

12G SDI In (1) only – Up to 4K p60

12G SDI In (1) only - Up to 4K p60

Up to 4 3G SDI In – Up to 1080 p60

Up to 4 3G SDI In - Up to 1080 p60

RPS One configuration settings

Users can open the Settings page by tapping the Gear icon on the initial status page to display the Config tab. This section describes the list of settings and how to configure them.

Selecting an encoder option

The TVU RPS One has true dual encoding. It encodes the same content at a fixed bitrate in the background and records to local storage. Users can monitor the live-stream bitrate. A visual notification is displayed on the home screen if the selected transmission bitrate drops below the threshold.

The TVU RPS One model TM1100 supports onboard H.265/HEVC or H.264 encoding.

To select an encoding option:

  1. Tap the Settings gear icon to open the Settings screen, then tap Encoder.
Config tab
  1. Select an input Source channel.
LCD settings - Config Encoder source
  1. Tap Video to open the Video Encode menu.
  2. Configure the Encoding and HDR/HLG settings.

HDR / HLG Explained

HDR (High Dynamic Range) increases contrast and color range, displaying brighter highlights and deeper shadows for more realistic images.

HLG (Hybrid Log-Gamma) is a type of HDR designed for broadcast; compatible with both HDR and standard displays without needing metadata, making it ideal for live production.

Using 8-bit with HDR/HLG often results in visible artifacts, especially in smooth gradients. For effective HDR, 10-bit or higher is strongly preferred.

encoder video encode 2

Note: Your selection will highlight green. The RPS One must be in live mode before you can change selections.

Chroma Subsampling: 4:2:0 vs 4:2:2

Chroma subsampling reduces color information to save bandwidth while preserving image detail.

  • 4:2:0 samples color at half the horizontal and vertical resolution; best for streaming or storage-efficient video with lower color fidelity.
  • 4:2:2 samples color at full vertical resolution and half horizontal; preserves more color detail, preferred for professional editing or broadcast.
  • H.265 Interview
  • H.264 Normal
  • H.265 Fast Motion
