How to find the NVD-30 on an IP network
By default, once the physical connections have been made, the NVD-30 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 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 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.
If you are using an Apple computer then you can use an alternative utility app
such as Fing or Network Analyzer Lite.

NVD-30 Login using a Web Browser
Type the numbers of the IP address for the NVD-30 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.
Alternatively you can simply double click the IP address listed in the NVD-30
IP finder.
Default Login Details
All NVD-30 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.

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 and Account Setup.

the analogue stereo connections. Alternatively you can choose to output
digital or analogue audio only.

Settings > Display Setup
By default the NVD-30 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 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.

Settings > Network Setup
By default the NVD-30 will obtain its IP address automatically from a DHCP
server.
If you intend to use the NVD-30 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 to connect to the internet via a proxy server.
Security
Here you can enable the internal telnet server, this is used so that the NVD-30
can be controlled by third party applications using socket commands. Please
see the socket commands section of this manual for more information.

Buffer Size
This determines how much video is buffered before playback starts, the
default 0.5 seconds is fine for streaming over Ethernet or but a larger buffer
may be required 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.
