Part Ⅰ: Connection illustrated
Part Ⅱ: Configure network
DHCP suggested for new customer or will use it in different networks,
so network configuration can be ignored if parameter of the stream
configured.
If not DHCP enabled by default, please follow the following steps to
configure the network for streaming
4

1- Enter network setting
2- Enter “Properties”
3- Choose IPv4
4- Enter current IP address and DNS (if don’t know the DNS, use 8.8.8.8)
5- Add another 192.168.1.x based IP address.
6- Then reboot the encoder on the UI of “System”option.
Once the network configured, to change the IP address of the
encoder to your local IP gateway required, like following instance
5

1- Status Bar
* The detected video information, Preview and streaming URL display here, the Preview function is based on
HTML5, it means HLS need to be enabled before using this function 6
Part Ⅲ: Encoder Functions

2- Adapting the encoder network to your own
Configuring network became necessary before starting if streaming to platform required, and the
Default DNS should set 8.8.8.8 or another local DNS in case of streaming failure
Here is an example
Local network Encoder

2- Choosing operation mode
There are 5 modes can be selected
from
1- Encoding Only
2- Decoding Only
3- Encoding+ Decoding
4- Transcoding
5- Video mixing
Choose different channel to configure
2* Main+ 2* Sub
Use H.265 or H.264 for streaming
Choose H.264 profile
Set up channel name
16:9 or 4:3 aspect ratio

6- Decoding
Decoding function will be useful
while using those modes
Decoding
Encoding+ Decoding
Video Mixing
Transcoding
There are three different feeds can be
decoded from URL to P2P and SDK
1- URL
RTSP, RTMP, UDP, HLS, HTTP
2- P2P
From another P2P encoder, see
configuration here
3- SDK
This function is used for a pair of
encoder from us, and can be used
under intranet only.
Refresh
Click to get the P2P ID
On the intranet, the ID can be input
Under P2P decoding mode.

The firmware will be updated if there is new
function added, Bugs fixed and so forth,
please provide us current version before
upgrading the encoder
Tips: if need transparent logo, black/ grey background required, to make the OSD function work,
24 Bits in BMP format required.
File names for different OSD
Encode:logo01.bmp-logo04.bmp
transcode:logo05bmp-logo12.bmp. Video Mixing:logo21.bmp-logo22.bmp
3- Upload files
upload logo, firmware

Part Ⅳ: Operation Guidance
1) HTTP-RTSP- RTMP pull- HLS- UDP
Copy the address and open it with VLC- streaming- network- fill the URL
( Except RTMP push)
Such as HTTP：WEB management→ HDMI Main→ Enable HTTP/
RTPS→ Apply→ Status( find the URL) → VLC→ fill the URL→
Done
18

3) RTMP (Push/ pull)- HLS
URL mode
Copy the CORRECT RTMP address from the server or platform and directly
paste it on the RTMP filed, then “Enable”the RTMP function.
IP mode
Copy the CORRECT RTMP address from the server or platform, separately
input it like following image, then “Enable”the RTMP function.
19

4) SRT
The encoder supports SRT caller and listener mode, here we will demonstrate how
to set up each mode on the encoder and decoder side
Encoder Decoder
Encoder Decoder
1- Listener Mode
2- Caller Mode
* Enter the IP of the encoder and its port on
the decoder side
* Enter the IP of the Decoder and its port on
the Encoder side 20
