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.

Configuring the Encoder-100 with CORIOgrapher
The Encoder-100 uses DHCP. Before you configure your Encoder-100, make sure DHCP is enabled on your PC.
1. Open CORIOgrapher , connect to your CORIOmaster, and read the configuration from your device.
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.

5 Magenta™bytvONE
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 Magenta™bytvONE
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.

7 Magenta™bytvONE
8. Select Encode, and choose a profile.
The profile you choose depends on the bandwidth of your connection and your quality requirements.
The default settings produce a high quality stream.
9. Select Status >Start encoding.
Read more about configuring encoders on page 9.

source to include in your stream in Capture. The default audio source is HDMI.
Risk of delayed signal
If your HDMI™ video doesn't contain embedded audio, select None or Analog from Audio.
If you choose to include analog audio, choose an appropriate sample rate. The default sample rate is 48.0
kHz.
Changing the port number
This task is optional.
You can change the port number of your Encoder-100 in Stream.
Multicasting
This task is optional.
You can configure multicasting in Stream.

13 Magenta™bytvONE
Group address
Enter the address of the group of devices to receive the stream.
We recommend you use addresses in the range 224.2.0.1 to 224.2.255.255.
Time to live
Enter a value between 1 and 255.
Contact your network administrator for recommended time to live values.
Time to live is an advanced setting, for experienced users only. Contact your network administrator for help.
Restarting your Encoder-100
If you're having problems, you can restart your Encoder-100. You don't need to restart your Encoder-100
when you change your settings.
nSelect System >Reboot.
Finding the address of your stream
If you want to save your encoder as a saved stream, or your encoder doesn't appear in Discovered
encoders, you need to know the address of your stream.
Find the address of your stream in Stream or Status.

CORIOgrapher™ can't find or connect to my Encoder-100
What's the problem?
1. I tried to find my Encoder-100 in Media Browser >IP Streams, but it wasn't in the list. I tried to add it
manually with an IP address, but that didn't work either.
2. I can see my Encoder-100, but can't connect to it, or stream media.
Why does this happen?
nYour Encoder-100 might not be on the same network as the PC running CORIOgrapher. For example,
the Encoder-100 is set to use DHCP and the PC has a static address in a different IP range, or they are on
separate physical networks.
nYour Encoder-100 is behind a router that does not allow UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) or API
commands to pass through.
What to do
First try this
1. Restore the factory default settings of the Encoder-100.
Read about restoring factory default settings on page 15.
2. Change the network settings of the PC running CORIOgrapher so that it uses DHCP.
3. Check that the PC running CORIOgrapher and your Encoder-100 are on the same physical network.
Then try this
If the PC running CORIOgrapher and your Encoder-100 are on different physical networks deliberately, for
example, if you have a dedicated video network, then follow these steps:
1. Put the Encoder-100 and the PC running CORIOgrapher on the same network temporarily, and
configure the Encoder-100.
Configure the Encoder-100 with a static IP address.
Read about configuring your Encoder-100 on page 9.
2. Write down the IP address of the stream.
3. Return the Encoder-100 and the PC running CORIOgrapher to their original networks.
4. Manually add an IP stream with the IP address you wrote down in step 2.
Read about manually adding streams on page 1.
If that doesn't work
Check that your network settings are correct.
For more help, contact your network administrator.
If the advice here doesn't work, first contact your distributor. If your distributor can't help, contact tvONE
support at [e-mail] ,[e-mail] or [e-mail].
Restoring factory default settings on your Encoder-100
To restore factory default settings, use a paperclip or other slim object to press and hold the reset button
on the front of the Encoder-100 until the LED light turns orange.
