1. Reset
There is a ‘‘RESET’’ hole on the front end of video encoder, which is used for conducting
initialization reset to the encoder. After turning on the power of the device, insert a pin into
the hole, then press the reset button and hold it down for about 8 seconds until you see all
three indicator light(VIDEO, LAN, POWER) go out All parameters will be initialized.
•The default IP address is 192.168.1.168. The default login ID and password are ''admin''.
•You can try to reset the device if you encounter any problems while using the device.
2. Log in to the Control Panel
Logging in to the control panel of video encoder is the first step in using the device. Most
customers cannot log in to the control panel of video encoder by entering 192.168.1.168
directly in the browser. The reason is that the IP address of video encoder(192.168.1.168)
and the IP address of PC(or laptop) are not in the same network segment, so they cannot
communicate with each other. In order to log in to the control panel of video encoder, we
first need to change the IP address of PC(or laptop).
This is how to log in to the control panel. If you are using windows, please refer to chapter
2.1; if you are using MAC, please refer to chapter 2.2.
2.1 Windows Operating System
Step 1. Connect the video encoder to the router via an Ethernet cable
Step 2. Connect the PC(or laptop) to the same router via Ethernet cable or WIFI. Right

５
Usually, the language of the control panel is English. If Chinese is displayed, you can
change the language in the upper right corner of control panel. Please select ‘‘英文’’.
Now the video encoder can be used in local area network(LAN). In order to use it in a wide
area network(WAN), we need to change the IP address of video encoder.
Step 10. Change the IP address and gateway of video encoder
In step 4, you already know the IP address and default gateway of the PC(or laptop).
For example, the IP address of my PC(or laptop) is 192.168.0.111, and the gateway is
192.168.0.1. Therefore, I can change the IP address of the video encoder to
192.168.0.168(in order to avoid IP conflicts, please don’t make the IP address of video
encoder the same as the IP address of your PC), and change the default gateway to
192.168.0.1.
Since each PC(or laptop) has a different IP address, I can only use my computer IP as an
example. Before changing the IP address and gateway of video encoder, please refer to
the IP address and gateway of your computer(In Step 4). If you have any question, please
contact us. We will arrange an engineer to help you set up.

１０
Usually, the language of the control panel is English. If Chinese is displayed, you can
change the language in the upper right corner of control panel. Please select ‘‘英文’’.
Now the video encoder can be used in local area network(LAN). In order to use it in a wide
area network(WAN), we need to change the IP address of video encoder.
Step 10. Change the IP address and gateway of the video encoder
In step 5, you already know the IP address and default gateway of the MAC.
For example, the IP address of my MAC is 192.168.0.112, and the gateway is 192.168.0.1.
Therefore, I can change the IP address of the video encoder to 192.168.0.168(in order to
avoid IP conflicts, please don’t make the IP address of video encoder the same as the IP
address of your MAC), and change the default gateway to 192.168.0.1.
Since each MAC has a different IP address, I can only use my MAC IP as an example.
Before changing the IP address and gateway of video encoder, please refer to the IP
address and gateway of your MAC(In Step 5). If you have any question, please contact us.
We will arrange an engineer to help you set up.

5. Adjust Output Video Audio Quality
Adjust the video audio quality of the output stream by setting the following parameters.
• Bitrate: You can adjust the bitrate of the video stream from 32 to 32000. If the bitrate
value is set too high and the network bandwidth(upload bandwidth) is not insufficient, the
output video will play not smoothly; if the bitrate value is set too low, the image quality of
the output video will be poor.
For 1080p output resolution, the bitrate can be adjusted in the range of 3000 to 5000.
For 720p output resolution, the bitrate can be adjusted in the range of 1500 to 3000.
For 576p output resolution, the bitrate can be adjusted in the range of 800 to 1500.
• Encoded Size: You can adjust the resolution of the video stream up to 1920x1080P.
The resolution of the output video cannot exceed the resolution of the input video. For
example, if you need 1280x720 output, you need to input a video source with a resolution
of 1280x720 or higher.
• Bitrate Control: If the network bandwidth is sufficient, you can select ‘‘VBR’’; If the
network bandwidth is normal, you can select ‘‘strong CBR’’; If the network bandwidth is
not good, you can select ‘‘CBR’’;
• GOP: Please use the default value of 30.
• Audio Bitrate: You can adjust the higher bitrate to get better audio quality.
