UHD HD Switch
Jun 2021
Introduction
At the time of writing, the CE1 only operates in either HD or UHD mode (variant 1 and variant 2, don't ask me what variant 3 is).
So if the unit is set to UHD mode, you cannot do a HD encode (white lie, you can but the M1 CPU tries to upscale HD to UHD and you run out of CPU).
So to change mode you have to edit a file and then reboot the unit. This should be addressed around August 2021.
Changing Mode (variant)
To change variant we need to edit one file on the CE1. This file is located at:
/var/opt/mediakind/platform/dta_2174b_variant_force echo 2 > /var/opt/mediakind/platform/dta_2174b_variant_force
reboot
