Notes and Hints:
The Gigabit-Ethernet-port does not support PoE so please take care of not accidently using a
PoE switch- you can damage the port and the unit will be not accessible anymore.
We recommend to use an IGMP-V2/3 protocol capable GBE- Switch to avoid flooding your
network with unmanaged multicast streams. Also some consumer Internet routers do not like
Multicasts (UDP/RTP) and might reboot periodically.
An Internet-connection is not necessary as long as you need to use NTP and does not have an
own NTP server in your network.
Please asure that your HDMI –Output you like to encode is set to max. HD with 1080p60 or
lower. Higher values will not work.
The embedded Linux system takes some seconds to fully boot. After the System-LED is on, you
can connect your browser to it. We recommend Chrome, Opera, and Mozilla. For a preview
PopUp in the browser, a flash-player addon need to be installed for the browser.
Sometimes it is helpful to reload the browser –page to get the changed settings and values
because of different browser behaviours...
The RESET button will erase all your settings and the unit will be forced to start with factory
defaults. Use a thin wire to pass the small hole and press the inside button by it for at least 5-
10 seconds until the System LED will go off. The encoder would perform a restart than after
releasing the button.
The Web-Interface lookalike may vary between different Versions but basically its
selfexplaining.
The SDI versions supporting the first embedded Stereo-Audio-Pair to be encoded.
Setting up your PC/Laptop before connecting:
If you use a Windows based PC, you should assign its ethernet adapter into the same range
like the encoder: Use a static IP like follows:
1st: Open your network settings in System Menu:


-> Maybe confirm
Administrator access-> Change IPv4 settings:
And confirm please. Linux users should know how to change the ethernet or WIFI settings.
Than open your browser and enter the http- Address of the box 192.168.1.168 (w/o https):
Depending on browser you’ll get a log-in-screen window:

- 6 -
Enter the default username = admin, default password = admin .... and here we go:

and second:
The STATUS page shows your Setup encodings for all the MAIN and the Substream(s).
Parallel and different streamings can be used for all encoder parts as long as the capacity of
the system is not claiming it: You will get a message if the encoding capacity will be reached
and one or more substreams would be disabled... The B-Models support only one streaming
Method enabled in Main and sec. Stream (= max. 2 outputs)

- 8 -
In some Sub-Streams Info-sections (model depending) you can check the Picture/Sound
directly in the browser by this button:
but you need to
enable the FLV or HLS stream before using that –and Flash-Player support is needed by your
browser:
Enabling it in the related Sub-Stream settings
-> Applying it by Set Up!
This doesn’t mean to restart the encoder but to restart your Stream-receiver-Decoder like
VLC or IPTV Settopbox to re-sync it to the new codec values. This message will popup every
time you change the encoder parameters. Receivers are stupid and might not react to the
changed values by themself.
Depending on Model: Preview in Browser is possible from within the status page as a link:
HINT: Adobe Flash does not work with HEVC h.265 codec!!!! You need to have h.264 encoding to be
set in the main or sub-stream menu (model depending).

Allow your browser to do that (here Mozilla):
CVBS-Preview with connected DVD-Player:

- 10 -
HDMI-Input stream- Preview:
Back to STATUS page:
Like the hint above, sometimes its helpful to reload the Status page i.e. if you see @0:
to gather the actual values like Input HDMI values:
The device time can be adjusted by the Network-setup-part NTP-Server which you need to
tell the NTP server URI and UTC-time difference. UK = ‘0’, Germany normal is UTC+1...
If you press (Sync Time To Device) it will be updated.
To also check your encoding streams you can copy the URI from the STATUS page:

Mark it by the mouse and COPY it - Than insert into VLC:

- 12 -
Note: If you more than one Network-Card in operation (like WIFI and GbE) in your receiving
machine, VLC often doesn’t recognize where to catch it from. Manually settings of METRIC
Values for both can solve this issue.
Note: UDP/RTP-Address will be taken by VLC with an @ and we have made it easy for you:
AGAIN: You do not need to restart the encoder only the receivers you have in your network
need to re-sync to the changed values!!!

Multicasts:

- 14 -
CVBS-Stream:
Network: Here you can change the encoders IP-address and mode:
If you change it to DHCP –after a reboot it will catch it from your router. Disadvantage: You
need to check the to the encoder given IP Address by your router in it’s own menu or use an
IP-Scanner-tool.
We assume, that you are familiar with the basic settings of a network.

These are the basic ports for HTTP and RTSP-Streaming use. You can modify that but we
recommend to keep them as they are because RTSP –receivers might are fixed to that port
while HTTP isn’t. The bottom of the every of the menu-pages contain the ‘Set up’ buttons to
take and enable your changes.
The MAIN and SUB-Stream adjustments are nearly all similar:

On Screen Display Menu: You can ‘Overlay’ a Text or Logo over the encoded Picture in 4 Zones:
For deeper detailed explanations about the OSD feature refer to the full –Manual please.
Also for the ONVIF settings with RTSP.
It supports BMP with a special backgroud colour if you like to be that transparent –or simply use
already transparent PNG files. Names and limitations of size are shown in the web.

Audio settings are common for both stream encoder parts:

Self-explaining:
The default settings are usually Ok for most use-cases:
Playing with ‘Deinterlaced settings’ helps sometimes fixing moving picture artefacts. BOTTOM only
can solve right-left-camery stucking problems.

A schedules ‘restart’ can be programmed (NTP-Time = ON recommended):
Supporting Rserial function if needed (Linux like)

The settings as well as the Firmware can be back-upped and re-uploaded.
The config-settings file is a linux based text file named box.ini. Do not modify store upload that by a
windows editor except you will use notepad++ (freeware –please google...)
Finally i.e. after firmware update has been uploaded, the unit can be remotely reset to
factory defaults or rebooted:
