Configuration variables (Vars file)

Variables allow to activate additional software options, configuration of which is not available through web-interface. The files must be placed in the folder C:\Program Files (x86)\SL NEO Media Platform\run. To apply the settings you need to restart the software.

File name	Value	Description of setting
vars_ecapture	ff_log_level=debug	Toggles saving advanced information about the input stream to the IP Capture service log. Added to 2.7.75.
vars	mxf_op1a_no_idx=true	Includes a mode that allows you to open MXF-OP1A files without first scanning the index. For large files, index scans can take quite a long time, making it impossible to play MXF files directly in a playlist. Added to 2.5.43.
vars	dtmf_sensitivity=low	Changes the sensitivity threshold of the DTMF tag detector, which can be useful for a large number of false positives. Available settings: “normal”, “lower”, “low”. low - increases detector threshold, which reduces the number of false alarms. Added to 2.4.58.
vars	xdcam_cbr=true	Toggles CBR mode when uploading to MXF MPEG2-422 50Mbit. The setting must be done on the machine that is encoding. Added to 2.2.50.
vars	xmio_async_mode=true	Turns on asynchronous input mode when capturing on Matrox DSX LE4 boards. If the option was enabled, the Capture log should show the message: Using ASYNC=1. Added to 2.8.2. As of 2.8.5 asynchronous mode is enabled by default.
