11 HDMI IN
HDMI input port connects to an HDMI signal source device
such as a DVD or Set-top box with an HDMI cable.
12 DC 12V
The device can be powered via two methods:
▪Local DC 12V/1A power supply;
▪POE from Network Switch. The device acts in PD mode.
A DC power supply is unnecessary when the Switch
supports the POE function.
Note:
The encoder can choose HDMI audio input or external audio embedding. It can be set
through the CH SELECT buttons on the front panel of the Encoder. (The default setting
is HDMI audio input.)
If it is set to HDMI audio input, the L/R OUT output of the Encoder is HDMI audio loop
out.Suppose it is set to external audio embedding. In that case, the L/R IN input of the
Encoder is the input of shallow audio embedding, and the L/R OUT output is the
eouteraudio embedding loop out.
Description of the LED screen and CH SELECT buttons (For the Encoder).
1, After the system is powered, the Encoder’s LED screen will show the ENC ID (000by
default if not set).
2, Press and hold the UP button for 5 seconds, the Encoder’s LED screen will show in
sequence “IP:", "xxx", "xxx", "xxx", "xxx", which is the IP address of the Encoder.

7. Encoder and Decoder Matching Settings
When multiple Encoders and Decoders are in the system without a Controller
Box, it is necessary to match them well first. You can match all Encoders and
Decoders in the following two methods.
Method 1: Use the CH SELECT buttons on the front panel of the Encoder/
Decoder.
According to the methods mentioned in Chapter 5, set the ID of Encoder, then
the ID of Decoder, and finally the Encoder ID from which to subscribe the
stream. Match all Encoders and Decoders in the same way.
Method 2: Use the RS-232 serial port command control.
Connect the RS-232 port of the Encoder/Decoder to a PC or control
system, asshown in the figure below. Then use a Serial Command tool on a
PC to send the RS-232 command code: “!OUT xxx FR yyy\r\n”. The
function of this command is to connect the Decoder (ID: xxx) to the Encoder
(ID:yyy). Matchall Encoders and Decoders in the same way.

8. Web GUI User Guide
The built-in Web GUI can configure all products through a Switch.The
operation method is shown below.
Step 1: Match all Encoders and Decoders as described in Chapter 7.
Step 2: Connect the PC and IP products you need to configure to a Switch.
The connection diagram is shown below.

13/21
Step 3: Press and hold the (CH SELECT) UP button on the front panel of the
Encoder/Decoder for 5 seconds to check the IP address. (Please refer to
Chapter 5 for details.)
Step 4: Set the PC’s IP address in the same network segment as the
Encoder/Decoder; for instance, set the IP address to 169.254.3.150 and the
Subnet mask to 255.255.0.0.
Step 5: Input the IP address of the Encoder/Decoder into the browser on the PC to
enter the Web GUI login interface.
Step 6: Input the default User “admin” and the default Password “admin,”
and then click “Log In” to enter the Web GUI interface.

14/21
The Web GUI function pages are shown below:
■Device Information Page
The Status page provides basic information about the Encoder/Decoder, such
as Firmware Version, IP Address, Subnet Mask, Gateway, and MAC Address.
■Video Configuration Page
On this page, you can configure the video properties as required.

15/21
Encoder Video Configuration
Encoder video configuration page includes Main Stream, Sub Stream, ID
Setting, Audio Selection, and EDID Setting.
Main Stream: You can configure Video Encoding Format, Audio Encoding
Format, and Bitrate. Video Encoding Format supports H.264 and H.265
(H.265 by default). Audio Encoding Format supports PCM and AAC (PCM
by default). Encoding Resolution cannot be set; it follows the input resolution.
The default Bitrate is 8Mb/s.
Sub Stream: You can configure Video Encoding Format, Resolution, and
Bitrate. Video Encoding Format supports H.264 and H.265 (H.265 by default).
The default Encoding Resolution is 640*360. The default Bitrate is 1Mb/s.
ID Setting: You can configure the ID of the Encoder. (After setting the ID,
the IP will change. You need to press and hold the (CH SELECT) UP button
on the front panel of the Encoder for 5 seconds to check the IP address, and
then re-enter the new IP address on the web page to continue setting).
Audio Selection: You can configure the Audio Input (HDMI/Analog). EDID
Setting: You can choose an EDID option from the drop-down list, asshown
in the below figure.

16/21
User EDID 1 and User EDID 2 can be uploaded in the Select User EDID1
File and Select User EDID2 File, and the content of the uploaded binary file
is EDID. (This file can be downloaded from the Download EDID of the
DecoderVideo page.)
Decoder Video Configuration
The decoder video configuration page includes Transmission Protocol,
ScaleSetting, Download EDID, Video Timeout Setting, ID Setting, and
PictureSetting.

17/21
Transmission Protocol: You can select “udp unicast” or “udp multicast”
(udp multicast by default).
Scaler Setting: You can set the output resolution (Pass Through by default).
Download EDID: You can download the EDID binary file of the display device
connected to the Decoder. The EDID file can be used as the User EDID file to
be uploaded to the Encoder.
Video Timeout Setting: You can set the timeout to turn off the video output
when no input video signal is detected. 0 means never close.
ID Setting:
Local ID: You can set the ID of the Decoder. (After setting the ID, the IP will
change. You need to press and hold the (CH SELECT) UP button on the front
panel of the Decoder for 5 seconds to check the IP address, and then re-enter
the new IP address on the web page to continue setting).
Max Channel ID: You can set the maximum range of Source Selection ID that
can be set. When it is set to 0, there is no limit to the Source Selection ID setting
range.
Source Selection ID: You can select the Encoder ID as the inputsource.
Picture Setting: You can configure the picture parameters (Brightness,
Contrast, Hue, and Saturation).
