How to find the NVD-30 MARK II on an IP
network
By default, once the physical connections have been made, the NVD-30
MARK II will try to obtain an IP Address from a DHCP network server. As
we will see this can be changed later to a Static IP address if required.
How to use the NVD-30 MARK II IP Finder Utility Software
Datavideo supply a free, Windows based utility, called NVD & NVP IP Finder.
The utility is also available for download on the product page of the official
website.
The first time this software is used on the computer you may need to allow it
permission through your computers firewall / anti-virus software in order for it
to be able to scan or search the local network.
When the utility scans the LAN that the computer is connected to, it displays
the current IP address for any NVD-30 MARK II units found on this local IP
network. Double clicking on the device listed will automatically open your
computers default web browser and navigate to the login page of the NVD-30
MARK II. If you are using an Apple computer then you can use an alternative
utility app such as Fing or Network Analyzer Lite.

NVD-30 MARK II Login using a Web Browser
Type the numbers of the IP address for the NVD-30 MARK II into the search
bar of the browser. Remember to include the dots in between the numbers.
When entered you will then be asked to login to the NVD-30 MARK II.
Alternatively you can simply double click the IP address listed in the NVD-30
MARK II IP finder.
Default Login Details
All NVD-30 MARK II units are delivered from the factory with the same default
user name and password. This can be changed at a later stage to suit your
needs.
User = admin Password = 000000 [Zero six times]

Once we have logged into the NVD-30 MARK II we are presented with the
Home page.
Settings option
When clicked, the Settings option tab will open a new page. There are five
sections of settings which can be looked at. These are: Audio Setup, Display
Setup, Network Setup, Live Stream Set Up,Cloud and Account Setup,
STB Mode,CEC Control and Plugins.
Settings > Audio Setup
By default, the NVD-30 MARK II will output audio over the digital HDMI
connection. Alternatively, you can choose to output via the analogue audio via
the RCA connections.

Settings > Display Setup
By default the NVD-30 MARK II will output video over the digital HDMI port at
a resolution of 720P 50 fps and YUV colourspace.
Please note: The set resolution is only applied when the stream is decoding,
the device will output your monitors preferred resolution as it boots.
Output To
Here you can select to output video digitally over HDMI or over the SD
analogue composite connection.
HDMI (Digital)
When digital is selected you can select a screen resolution from SD
PAL/NTSC right up to HD 1080P60/50. The NVD-30 MARK II will scale your
source video to match the output resolution however the aspect ratio (4:3 or
16:9) should be matched to avoid black space on the output, for optimal
performance match the output resolution to the source video. The colour
space can be switched between YUV (YCbCr) and RGB, most video
equipment will use the YUV colour space however if the colors appear wrong
on your display please try RGB.
Composite (Analogue)
When analogue is selected the UI will change and you can only select
between PAL and NTSC resolution with a 4:3 or 16:9 aspect ratio.

Rotate / Flip
Provides the option to rotate or flip (mirror) the video output, default is off.
Settings > Network Setup
By default the NVD-30 MARK II will obtain its IP address automatically from a
DHCP server.
If you intend to use the NVD-30 MARK II directly connected to a PC or
network without a DCHP server then you should assign a manually set IP
address by selecting ‘Static Configuration’.
We recommend that only advanced users who are aware of IP addressing set
the manual ‘Static Configuration’ IP address. Your local network administrator
or I.T. support may be able to help you with this.
Proxy
Here you can set the NVD-30 MARK II to connect to the internet via a proxy
server. Proxy server is also a way to bypass a firewall if there is one. Simply
enter the proxy IP and the port number as depicted below.

Time
By default, the NVD-30 MARK II will synchronize its internal clock with public
NTP servers, if your network does not allow connections to external server
you can specify your internal NTP servers here. It is important the internal
clock is correct for secure HTTPS:// stream sources to work.
Security
Here you can enable the internal telnet server, this is used so that the NVD-30
MARK II can be controlled by third party applications using socket commands.
Please see the socket commands section of this manual for more information.

Settings > Live Stream Setup
From this page you can configure the source stream for the decoder. The
NVD-30 MARK II supports the following stream types:
RTSP over UDP (Unicast / Multicast)
RTSP over TCP
RTSP over HTTP
SRT (Secure Reliable Transport) caller
MPEG-TS over UDP
RTMP Pull
RTMP Push (Internal Server)
UDP raw (Unicast/Multicast)
HLS over HTTP
MPEG-TS over TCP Pull
Decoder Mode
Default mode should be used for decoding standard streams from encoders
such as SRT, RTSP, RTMP, HTTP etc.
Selecting the RTMP Server (Internal) mode automatically generates an
RTMP URL and a stream key which should be entered into the corresponding
fields on Datavideo NVS devices or any other video streaming encoders.
The RTMP playback URL can be used to distribute the stream to multiple
other decoders, the number of concurrent RTMP clients is limited only by the
100Mbps ethernet port.
Video Sharing & HLS mode should be used for decoding from supported

video sharing websites, such as:
Dailymotion
Livestream
Twitch
UStream
YouTube Live

Please see the check the product page on the datavideo.info website for a full
list of supported video sharing websites.
This mode also supports HLS streams, unlike Default mode you can select
the resolution of the stream you wish to decode if the HLS stream contains
multiple variants.
Input Stream
Enter the URL for the source stream here
Example for Default mode:
rtsp://192.168.1.50/stream1
rtmp://192.168.1.50/live/stream1
srt://192.168.1.50:9000
Example for Video Sharing & HLS mode:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y60wDzZt8yg
Example for RTMP server mode:
rtmp://192.168.2.16:1935/stream/stream
Buffer Size
This determines how much video is buffered before playback starts, the
default 0.3 seconds should be suitable for streaming over Ethernet but a
larger buffer may be required in environments with poor network stability to
achieve smooth video when streaming over the internet or WiFi. If you notice
the video stuttering or the audio breaking up you should increase the buffer
size.
Note: You might experience long delay if the buffer size is too big.
RTSP protocol
Only displayed if a RTSP stream is being used, the transport protocol can be
manually specified.
SRT Latency
Only displayed if a SRT stream is being used. Secure Reliable Transport (SRT)
