smooth without frame loss.
Expandable local recording function based on USB: the input video can be
recorded on the local USB disk into a professional .mov/.mp4 video file
format, the recorded file has precise synchronous time code, and
post-editing can be based on the time of the recorded file code to achieve
inter-frame alignment.
Support NFS/CIFS/SMB/FTP and other NAS protocols to realize video
recording function based on network storage.

6 Login and Network Configuration
6.1 Device Login
1. Network Settings for your PC
Connect the computer to the network where the E3 is located, and check that the
network communication between the E3 and the computer is reachable. Users can
use the CMD tool that comes with the window to test.
2. WEB management page login
Open the browser on the computer, enter the IP address obtained by E3 in the
browser URL, and enter the username and password in the login dialog box.
Both default username and password are admin.
Note: Due to the browser compatibility issues, it may cause the web page display abnormal, it
is recommended to use Chrome or Edge.
6.2 Network Configuration
6.2.1 Ethernet
After login, you could configure internet IP by DHCP or manually (Default is DHCP).
This IP address could be used for network streaming and device management. Once
IP address configured, you could directly visit this IP address to login to the device.

E3 4K HDMI/3G-SDI Encoder User Manual
12
Copyright@2023 KILOVIEW Electronics Co., LTD
There are two ways to get the address, one is DHCP, and the other is manual. To use
DHCP, please ensure that the router or switch has enabled the DHCP service. This
method is simple and convenient, but the IP obtained by DHCP changes continuously,
and you cannot directly know what IP address the encoder gets.
To select manual IP address obtaining, you need to enter a fixed IP to the device, and
this IP address is fixed as long as the device does not restore the factory settings,
which is relatively stable. The automatic allocation is to automatically allocate an IP
address according to the MAC address of the device. If the device needs to share the
network with other devices, this method can avoid the problem of IP address
conflicts, but the IP address allocation strategy needs to be maintained regularly.
Manual assignment and automatic allocation both have their own advantages and
disadvantages, depending on the specific requirements. Therefore, the choice
between manual assignment and automatic allocation can be made based on the
actual needs.
6.2.2 Advanced Settings
HTTP/HTTP Setting

E3 4K HDMI/3G-SDI Encoder User Manual
13
Copyright@2023 KILOVIEW Electronics Co., LTD
The default web service port is 80 (https port is 443). You can change it (range: 1-
65535) accordingly. After revising the port, visit device configuration page. You need
to add the changed port behind the device IP address before you visit. For example,
the device normal login IP address is 192.168.1.168, change Web service port from
80 to 90, HTTPS service port from 443 to 450, then enter 192.168.1.168:90 or
https://192.168.1.168:450 to visit device respectively.
By HTTPS, if the web browser prompts certificate errors which is caused by the
browser certificate security authentication, you will need to add it to the safe list of
the browser.
Routing Strategy
The routing strategy is for routing release and reception. Its operation object is data
package. According to the needs, the data packet transmission path can be changed
according to a certain strategy. When the device is connected to multiple network
links, the different data link can be sent according to the appointed network link
through designated strategy, which improves the utilization efficiency of the link.
Note：It is required that professional person with knowledge of the current network routing
table or network to operate routing strategy. Incorrect configuration may cause device abnormal.
