vidin

The vidin command is used to view and manage video input parameters. ID is used to select the video input on dual channel encoders (either 0 for BNC-1 or 1 for BNC-2 on #S/B-292E-HDSDI2). ID is optional on single input encoders such as the #S/B-292E-HDSDI1 and the #S/B292E-DVI. If entered, only 0 will be accepted.
