6.0 Ot er Information
Overview
T e ANT-48100 TRANSCODER is a ig ly flexible IP to IP transcoder. Featuring up
to 4 c annels of decoding on one Et ernet port (NIC) and 1 c annel of re encoding
(Transcoding) on a second Et ernet Port (NIC). T is transcoder is intended for IP to
IP transcoding wit out offering any local video inputs or outputs. T e Transcoder
engine can take up to 4 decoded streams and re encode t en as a 1x1 (full screen)
or 2x2 image wit a main stream and secondary stream. T e decoder block can
decode 1-4 streams t en combine t em as a quad image or in t e case of one
decoded stream a single image. T ese quad and single images can also be scaled
to 1080P 720P and 576P resolutions. Additionally, t e decoder engine can decode
URLs or pre recorded video files. SRT decoding is supported.
Once decoded and scaled t e images pass to t e Encoder engine. T e encoder can
t en re-encode (transcode) t ese decoded streams as HTTP, RTSP, RTP,
MPEG-TS, RTMP or SRT streams on to a completely independent LAN Network
Interface.
As t e Transcoder features two independent Network interfaces it acts as an
effective Video stream air gap between two networks.

1.Wha ’s in he Box
T e ANT-48100 box contains
- ANT-48100 Transcoder
-12 Volt Power converter wit UK/EU/USA and C ina adaptors
2. Se ing up he ANT-48100
Connect t e bot of t e Et ernet ports of t e ANT-48100 to a laptop or PC via an
Et ernet switc using standard et ernet cables.
Connect t e 12 volt power input and switc on.
T e ANT-48100 will take approximately 1 minute to boot up. You will see t ere are 1
LED on t e front. On power up t is LED will illuminate RED. You are now ready to
setup t e ANT-48100 Transcoder
3. ANT-48100 IP
addresses and Log In
T e ANT-48100 default IP address is
192.168.1.160 (IP-IN) and 192.168.1.168
(IP-OUT). Please set t e laptop/PC Et ernet IP
address to be in t e same sub-domain e.g
192.168.1.XXX
Open C rome to view settings and Preview
video (or ot er up to date browser to just view settings wit out video preview) and
browse to 192.168.1.160 and / or 192.168.1.168

4.0 Se up of he ANT-48100 in IP IN
(Decoder) (192.168.1.160)
4.1 S a us
T e status tab will s ow you information on t e IP Input settings. T is is effectively a
decoder wit in t e transcoder and can decode up to 4 streams or files. T is screen
will s ow if you are in 1x1 mode (1-1 transcode) or 2x2 mode (4 c annels decoded
and arranged as a quad image t en transcoded). T e input URLs or files are s own
ere
4.2 Ne work
T is section defines t e network settings of t e IP Et ernet input port. NOTE! T e
ANT-48100 as two et ernet ports (NICs) w ic are independent. T is setting is for
t e IP input (decode)

4.3 Video Source
Video Source as 3 sub sections: On pro ocol Video, P2P video and SRT
se ings, as t is a quick start guide, we will only be t e using On pro ocol Video
setting
4.3.1 On Pro ocol Video
Ou pu Resolu ion: T is allows you to set t e resolution of t e decoded
image/images prior to re encoding
Ne work Caching: T is is a buffer for t e decoder section and elps wit Network
jitter but as a result introduces latency in t e overall Transcode process.
MPTS Program: select t e program from a MPTS stream
Priva e Pro ocol: Future use / functionality to be advised
Pa h Se ing: T is is eit er a URL or a .SDP file location for using as t e source of
t e decoder section
Spli Mode (if using a URL): Select 1x1 or 2x2 mode (quad) for decoding
Inpu : 1-4: T ese are t e URLs for t e 4 decoded inputs. Generally, you would use
1 input in 1x1 mode or 2, 3 or 4 inputs for 2x2 mode.
Audio Channel: Future use / functionality to be advised
