USER MANUAL

If the device fails to start, check whether the power indicator and startup indicator of the device are normal and
whether an official power adapter is used. Whether to close the upgrade page or power off the device during the
upgrade.
If you fail to log in to the WebUI, check whether the IP address of the device is on the same network segment as that
of the PC, and whether the IP address of the device conflicts with that of other devices in the network segment.
If the IP address of the discovered device is 192.168.8.8, log in to the WebUI, set the IP address mode in I network
Settings to manual, and enter the REQUIRED IP address, subnet mask, and gateway.
If the login fails due to the upgrade, clear the browser cache, refresh the page, and log in again.
If a video jam occurs, check whether the CPU temperature is too high. Generally, the TEMPERATURE should not
exceed 70 ° C. Check whether the device is connected to a GIGABit network port. Alternatively, disable the multicast
mode on the WebUI.
If the video output from the device is abnormal in color, sound, or screen, restart the device in the Web UI system or
manually restart the device.

It takes about 30 seconds for the system to work properly. It takes a while for the Linux
system to start.
3. Two ways to power on and connect to LAN
For FLOW 4K series, you can choose two power supply modes: DC input and POE
1. DC-12V Input
2. POE Power supplier
Power on with the SCIENCE IMAGE original standard 12V power supply
Power up through the network cable connecting the POE (power over Ethernet) with Gigabit network switch
PoE Power over Ethernet(802.11af/at) support
Always use a certified 802.11 af/at with minimum 10W port power capacity and it's a gigabit network switch.
Always use genuine SCIENCE IMAGE power adapters, 3rd party products perhaps can cause permanent
damage.
After startup, you will find that the character SCIENCE IMAGE Tech begins to appear on the OLED screen,
and the power light on the right starts to light up.
At this time, the device is powered up successfully.
4. OLED screen display instructions
After the device is started, the current status and parameters will be displayed alternately on lines 1, 3 and 4
of the screen

Log in to the WebUI using a network cable, power on the device using the original power adapter, and
connect the device to the PC using a network cable. Or connect the device and computer to the same
router or switch.
If 192.168.8.8 is displayed, the device cannot automatically obtain an IP address. You need to
manually set the IP address of the PC to the same network segment, that is, 192.168.8.*, to log
in to the WebUI.
5. Login Web UI
The first line -- 4K Converter/ Optical Transmit
Display the name of the current device and the status of the Optical Receiver (the Optical transmitter
by default, and the Optical Receiver by default).
The second line -- PrimaryIN: SDI
Displays which input, SDI or HDMI, is recognized by the current device.
Line 3 -- IN: 1080I50 / CH: SDI-Y HDMI-N
Displays the video format of the current input source of the device (when the device serves as an
optical receiver, the video format of the optical input is displayed) and whether the SDI and HDMI
inputs are detected (Y indicates that there is an input and N indicates that there is no input).
Line 4 -- OUT: 2160p60/192.168.3.166
Displays the output video format (the format selected in the video Format conversion list) and the
current IP address of the device.

You may need to install the RNDIS driver when you log in to the WebUI for the first time. If the
driver has been installed, enter the management address 192.168.88 to log in to the WebUI.
Log in to the WebUI using the USB RNDIS function, power on the device using the original power adapter, and
connect the device to the PC using a USB cable.
Next, right-click My computer - Manage - Device Manager on the desktop. An unknown device RNDIS
appears in device Manager.
Then, right-click RNDIS and select Update Driver -- browse my computer to find a new driver -- let me
select from the list of drivers available on my computer -- Network Adapters -- Microsoft -- Remote NDIS
compatible devices.
