Quick start
It's easy to get started with the Encoder-100, but if you want more help with any of these steps, select in
CORIOgrapher™ and search, or ask a question.
The Encoder-100 cannot encode HDCP encoded sources.
Before you start
To use an Encoder-100, you must have a Dual stream input module installed in your CORIOmaster™,
CORIOmaster mini™, or CORIOmaster micro™.
Setting up the Encoder-100
Connect your cables.
A. Connect the power supply to an electrical outlet.
B. Connect an Ethernet cable to a DHCP-enabled network, or, connect an Ethernet cable directly to a
DHCP-enabled PC.
C. Connect an HDMI™ cable to the video source that you wish to stream.
For example, you could connect a camera, an endoscope, or a media player.
nOPTIONAL: if you want to stream analog audio, or preview your audio, connect a 3.5mm jack audio
cable.
nOPTIONAL: if you want to see a preview of your stream, connect a VGA cable to PREVIEW, or an HDMI
cable to HDMIOUT, and to a display.
The power connector is a latching power
connector. To remove the power connector from
your Encoder-100, slide the sleeve backward.

2. Set up a video wall that includes at least one window playing the Dual stream input module, and select
Take.
3. Double-click the window you wish to play streaming media, and select (Media Player) Manage.

4. Select IP Streams, select your Encoder-100, and select Manage.
nWhen you first connect, your Encoder-100 is named with its Device ID. Find the Device ID on the
bottom of your Encoder-100.
nIf your Encoder-100 isn't displayed, select Find and enter the URL of your Encoder-100.
nIf you can't find or connect to your Encoder-100, read troubleshooting advice on page 15.
5. Select System, and name your Encoder-100.
Names can be up to 62 characters long, and can't be blank.

6. Select Network, and choose network settings for your Encoder-100.
nIf you choose DHCP, the network assigns you an IP address.
nIf you choose a static IP address, enter a value for your IP address, subnet mask, and gateway.
If you need help with network settings, contact your network administrator.
Static IP address
If you choose a static IP address, make sure you enter a unique value for your IP address. Using the same IP
address for multiple devices can cause your devices to disconnect. Contact your network administrator for help.
7. Select Capture, and check that your audio source is correct.
Risk of delayed signal
If your HDMI™ video doesn't contain embedded audio, select None or Analog from Audio.
