Chapter 1 - Introduction
1.1 Product Overview
The Thor Broadcast H-H.264IP-E is a single channel encoder with multiple input options to stream any
HDMI/YPpBr input into an MPEG4 stream that is web managed and can be viewed over LAN or Public
Internet. This compact unit brings you big time result broadcast HDMI compliant video source in HD
Resolution in H.264 format in a compression format that makes it easy to view on most internet ready devices
with browsers. Use your IP STB, PC or TV to watch your programs anywhere. Whether you are in your house
or across the globe, you'll never miss a game or your favorite show.
The device supports HDMI compliant input and encodes in MPEG 4 AVC/H.264 format. After that, it pushes
the IP signal output over UDP (unicast/multicast), RTMP and HLS. The USB port is designed to record and
save the encoded video (TS) in ts* files in the USB thumb or Hard Disks and play it back through IP output to
increase your content options.
1.2 Key Features
 Easy set-up
 Watch and control your live and recorded TV shows anywhere, anytime
 Multiple streams out with different protocol/resolution/bitrate…
 Resolution downscale conversion
 HLS Protocol supports Apple terminals simultaneously running as per different resolution and
bitrate setting
 USB port for TS recording and playing back, increase signal source options
 HDMI input
 IP Output over UDP(unicast/multicast), RTMP, HLS

Chapter 2 - Installation Guide
Please use caution when installing the device
2.1 Safety Instructions
WARNING: To prevent fire or electrical shock, do not expose the device to rain or moisture.
The network encoder is powered with a voltage of 12V DC. The power supply voltage must not
exceed the recommended voltage, which otherwise may cause irreparable damage to the device and
the invalidation of the warranty. Therefore:
 Do not replace power supply with a voltage greater than 12V DC.
 Do not connect the device to a power outlet if the power cord is damaged.
 Do not plug the device into socket until all cables have been connected correctly.
 Do not cut the cord.
Avoid placing the device next to any central heating components and in any areas of high humidity.
Do not cover the device with anything that obstruct the ventilation slots.
If the network encoder has been kept in cool conditions for a long time, keep it in a warm room
minimum 2 hours before plugging into the power supply.
Mount the device in vertical position with the connectors located on the top.
Safety check- Upon completion of any service or repairs to this device, ask the service technician to
perform safety checks to determine that the device is in proper condition. Call Thor Fiber***

Chapter 3 – WEB NMS Operation
In order to operate this unit you must connect it to a workstation for control; the network encoder and
USB device, users can just perform the operation with the web Brower in the PC (Personal Computer).
3.1 Login
The default IP address of this device is 192.168.200.64. (We can modify the IP through the front
panel.)
Connect the PC and the network encoder with an ethernet cable, and use ping commands to confirm
they are on the same network segment.
I.G. the device IP address is 192.168.200.64 we then change the PC IP to 192.168.200.xxx (xxx can be
1 to 254 except 64 to avoid IP conflict).
Use any web browser to connect the device with the PC by inputting the device’s IP address in the
browser’s address bar and press Enter.
It will display the Login interface as shown in Figure-1. Input the Username and Password (Both the
default Username and Password are “admin”.) and then click “Login” to start the device.

USB:
From the menu on up side of the webpage, clicking “USB”, it displays the interface where users can
operate USB device. (Figure-12)
Figure-12
Before setting up USB, you should click “ ” to stop all output.
NOTE: It is necessary to connect and USB device and signal source and activate encoding to
operate TS recording.
NOTE: It is necessary to connect USB device when operating the TS play function.
Detailed Explanation:
There are 3 record modes provided:
 “Single file”: For example, when the file size is set as 1000M and the *.ts is recorded up to 1000M,
it automatically stops recording TS.
 “Cycle file”: For example, when the file size is set as 1000M and the *.ts is recorded up to 1000M,
it automatically saves the files and continues to record TS and save it to next file until the USB
memory is full.
 “Loop record”: It automatically saves the files and continues to record TS and save it to next file.
When the USB memory is full, it replaces the previous file.
Advanced Configurations:
File Name: Users can enter this menu to edit name for the *.ts files to be recorded. For example, if
users name it “Record-”, it will give that name to the saved *.ts files “Record-001.ts”,
“Record-002.ts”… “Record-00N.ts”.

Chapter 4 – Network Connection and Setup
Situation：LAN network
This is applicable for users on a LAN network, like at home.
Steps:
1. Connect to STB/DVD etc with signal cable or insert USB memory with xx.ts files to provide signal
source.
2. Connect to Wi-Fi router (Keep the encoder IP and router IP in the same network segment.)
3. Connect the Wi-Fi between the mobile terminals and the router.
4. Play the video/Audio
1) Play the video/audio on phone/Tablet under HLS protocol.
Apple devices can use “Safari” browser when HLS is applied as the output protocol, no need for
any 3
rd
party player.
**Note: Android devices need to install “HLS plug-in” to play when HLS is applied
