Appearance:
DC-Jack 12V, 100BaseT Ethernet (264 versions only) or GbE (265 versions), Status LEDs, HDMI IN,
RESET Button-hole, HDE-265(L) (L=Loop out) have an additional 3.5mm Stereo Jack Audio-Input:
Variant with SDI Inputs: SDE-265 (no 264 available any more)
SDI-Versions have a loop through to cascade the Input to other SDI-devices...
Available 1RU Versions: 1264 / 1265 and 4264 (ADE and HDE-Versions as well as SDE) Example:
Front
REAR example ADE-4264 = CVBS + HDMI support (ADE-264 has a separate Flyer and quick start)
12xy means 1 encoder, 42xy means 4 Encoders (xy can be (2)64 or (2)65 = MPEG4 or HEVC compatible)
A = Analog (CVBS + HDMI support), S=SDI, H= only HDMI –Versions
Rear of HDE-4264/-4265
Attention: Because of a cut in the hardware for the HDE-265:
From November 2020 production on, the chipset has been changed to the HDE-265L. So if ordering the
HDE-1265 in 1RU later on, it is based on the new one. Therefore the firmware is different too and to be
considered when updating. The normal HDE-265 boxed version latest firmware was: 6.53E while the
HDE-265L and new produced HDE-1265 is actually 5.05. The difference can be detected in the web-IF in the
top frame or because the new one supports 1x Main encoder and 3x secondary encoder streamer parts.
Example Sticker with default settings (MAC may be different)
Note: HDE-4264B has been redesigned with 4x GbE outputs
now to be independent per encoding process-Streaming and
might use different networks to stream to.

Notes Remarks and Hints:
The Fast- or 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 assure that your HDMI –Output you like to encode is set to max. HD with 1080p60 or
lower. Higher values will not work. 1080i50 will be shown as 1920x1080@25 in the Input status
window
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 add-on 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 self-
explaining.
- 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 -All technical data are subject to change w/o further notice... © Irenis GmbH 06-2021...............
Enter the default username = admin, default password = admin .... and here we go:
The STATUS page shows your Setup encodings for 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 sub-streams would be disabled... The B-Models support only one streaming
Method enabled in Main and sec. Stream (= max. 2 outputs)
The STATUS page shows your Setup encodings for the MAIN and the Sub-stream(s).
Parallel and different streaming’s 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 a sub-stream should be disabled...
In some Sub-Streams and 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:

- 8 -All technical data are subject to change w/o further notice... © Irenis GmbH 06-2021...............
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 pop up every
time you change the encoder parameters. Receivers are stupid and might not react to the
changed values by themselves.
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:

All technical data are subject to change w/o further notice... © Irenis GmbH 06-2021.................................... - 9 -
Allow your browser to do that (here Mozilla):

- 10 - All technical data are subject to change w/o further notice... © Irenis GmbH 06-2021...............
Note: For FLV or HLS in the preview, your browser (Mozilla preferred) should have adobe flash
player installed and HLS-stream-detector ADDON ->
https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/hls-stream-detector
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:
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 a @ 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:

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 encoder given IP Address by your router in its 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:

It supports BMP with a special background 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.

The default settings are usually Ok for most use-cases:
Playing with ‘De-interlaced settings’ helps sometimes fixing moving picture artefacts. BOTTOM only
can solve right-left-camera sticking 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.
