TVU RPS One Model TM1100 Software QSUG v8.3

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 8.3 (Build 83128) 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

12G SDI In (1) only – Up to 4K p60

Up to 4 3G SDI In – Up to 1080 p60

About this guide

Multi-channel operational modes

This section explains the RPS One operational modes and the expected behavior for each mode.

Users can select a multi-channel (group control) or single-channel (single mode) transmission on the touchscreen.

The RPS One displays the four connected SDI video input previews on the LCD touchscreen. It has two operational modes: single and group control. The RPS One default is group-control mode.

Multi-channel preview 1- 4 behavior

The video preview number displayed in the top-left corner of each video preview corresponds to the SDI video input channel.

• The Live source displays a red “PGM” next to the channel number on the top left of the video preview screen.
• When the source is in Preview mode, the video preview screen displays a green “PVW” next to the slot number in the top-left corner.
• Only the channel number will be displayed when a source is not in PVW or PGM mode.

• Tap a video preview to enter the group-control mode (default).
• Tap and hold a video preview for 3 seconds to control the channel independently. To control another channel and return to group-control mode, wait 20 seconds between selections, then press another preview.
• Tap the video preview, then the full-screen icon to enable the full-screen preview.

RPS One configuration settings

This section describes the list of RPS One pack settings and explains how to locate and configure them.

1. Tap the Gear icon on the initial status page.

2. The main menu will be displayed. Tap the Setting button to open the configuration setting page.

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 Setting button on the main menu to open the Setting screen, then tap Encoder.

2. Select an input Source channel.

3. Tap Video to open the Video Encode menu.
4. 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.

The Disabled HDR/HLG option disables HDR/HLG decoding or 10-bit.

When the device is live with a low version receiver that does not support 10-bit, the following error message will be displayed.

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

5. Tap the Back Arrow.
6. Tap Audio to open the Audio Encode menu.

Audio Codec descriptions:

Advanced Audio Coding (AAC)
AAC is a versatile audio compression format known for delivering high-quality sound with efficient file sizes.
AAC-LC (Low Complexity):
AAC-LC is a specific profile within the AAC format, optimized for lower computational complexity and broad compatibility. It offers excellent sound quality while being easier to decode, making it ideal for devices with limited processing power. AAC-LC is commonly used on platforms such as iTunes, YouTube, and digital radio.
AAC-HE (High Efficiency):
AAC-HE, also known as AAC+ or AAC Plus, is an extension of the AAC format designed for even greater compression efficiency. It utilizes more advanced encoding techniques to achieve higher compression ratios, reducing file sizes without significant loss of audio quality.
AAC-HE is particularly suited for low-bitrate applications such as streaming over limited bandwidth or storing audio on devices with constrained storage capacity
OPUS Audio Codec:
OPUS is a highly versatile and efficient audio codec designed for interactive, real-time audio applications like voice calls, video conferencing, and live streaming. It is widely adopted for delivering high-quality audio at low bitrates, making it perfect for modern communication and entertainment platforms.

7. Make your Audio Encode selections. The Audio Codec now includes an OPUS option alongside the two AAC profile options.
