Before We Be in:
The Quick-Start Guide should get you up and running with your new Network Encoder in a matter of
minutes. To get started please make sure you have:
1. a computer with an Ethernet port
2. an Ethernet cable (CAT5/6)
3. administrative access or privileges so that you can
temporarily change the computers IP address and subnet.
Before configuring the device we need to change your local computers IP address to the same subnet
as your new Network Encoder. The default IP address for the Network Encoder is 192.168.200.64. In
order for the devices to communicate, please make sure that your local computer is set up on the same
subnet.
To do this you are going to first click on the network icon in your lower right taskbar.

Once you click on either of these icons you will presented with a network connections menu similar to
this:
Please click on the Item labeled Unidentified network.
You should now see a screen similar to this one:

Click on the Network labeled Unidentified network and then click on the button.

When you have finished typing the above values click the
button. You should now be able to access the network encoders management portal.
Quick-Start Guide:
The following steps should get you up and running with minimal configuration. For more complicated
applications please consult the device manual or contact us for support. Thank you for choosing Thor
Broadcast for your broadcasting needs.
1. Connect the 12 Volt DC power adapter to the back of the Encoder.
2. Connect the HDMI cable from your video device output to the HDMI input on the front of
the unit.

3. Connect an Ethernet cable (Cat5/6) from your computer directly into the front of your
Network Encoder into the port labeled ETH . If everything is configured correctly you should
see the Network Link light come on solid green on the ETH port. And momentarily you should
see a communication light start blinking orange on the left. This indicates that your computer
and device are communicating.
3. To access the Device Configuration Page please open a browser on your computer and type:
192.168.200.64 into the URL (address bar) and press enter.
4. That will take you to the devices network management systems login page. The default

information on your devices status, software and hardware version numbers and current

6. On this page you are going to click on the parameter link at the upper left corner of the page.

Here you will be presented with the Parameters page. Access Channels 1/2/3: From the menu on
the top side of the web GUI, click “CH1”or “CH2” or “CH3”. From there you can set the
interface and the encoding parameters for the output channel. The Thor Broadcast H-H264IP-E
supports up to 3 streams out with different protocol, resolution, bit-rate, etc.
7. Click on the CH1, CH2, or CH3 tabs at the top of the page to adjust the settings for the
respective channel.
Once you have made your channel selection, there are 2 basic parameters that need to be set or
adjusted depending on your specifications.
The first of these is the output parameter. This is accessed by clicking on the drop-down menu
shown below:

8. Click and select the protocol you would like to encode to and then click the apply button to
change the protocol setting.
If needed you can adjust each of the 3 CH bit rates. This can be accessed by clicking on the
drop-down menu shown below:
9. Select the bit-rate that is going to fit your specification and click on the apply button to apply
the new bit-rate setting.
10. When you have applied the settings on the parameters page, navigate back to the upper left
and click on the Save menu link. This will ensure that your device will retain it’s settings after
you power the device off or reboot the device.

That is a basic configuration. You are now ready to view your video over IP in your preferred protocol.
