1.0 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The DME-10J encoder is a cost-optimized, compact 146 x 115 mm system that allows HEVC/H.265 encode
of HD video (up to 1080i) through SDI input. It allows users to quickly stream video to the web or internal
clients/PCs via RTSP or TSRTP.
This solution is ideal for applications such as low-cost broadcast encoders, low-bandwidth video security,
satellite uplink, remote monitoring and industrial applications. The DME-10J provides immediate access to
H.265/HEVC HD video, integrated system peripherals and production-qualified codecs.
The DME-10J features HD performance, compact size, and low latency while still having less power
consumption than a PC-based encoder platform.

2.0 QUICK START GUIDE
If You Have Received an Encoder with the Software Preloaded2.1
To start working with the encoder, you can go straight to Section 6.0, “RUNNING THE ENCODER,” on
page 10. This section describes how to quickly generate an RTSP or TSRTP stream to VLC, how to tune
for latency, and how to utilize Pro-MPEG Forward Error Correction and Telop.
If You Already Have an Encoder and Need to Update the Firmware2.2
You can update the firmware via the HTTP-based user interface (GUI) by following the instructions in
Section 7.4 “Making a Firmware Update”on page 25.
Please Note: Actual version numbers for your DME-10J product may differ from those pictured in this document.

6.0 RUNNING THE ENCODER
This section gives step-by-step instructions on HEVC/H.265 encoding with the DME-10J and streaming 1080i
video to VLC media player running on your PC. In addition to the DME-10J, an HD video source with SDI
output and a PC with VLC media player are required.
Please Note: Actual version numbers for your DME-10J product may differ from those pictured in this document.
Set up the HD Source6.1
Select an HD source with SDI output.(1)
-Power on the HD Source.
-Connect HDMI to a monitor.
-Set the HD Source to 1080i output.
-If your source is a media player, select the content you would like to stream.
If you see playback on the monitor, you’ve confirmed the source setup.
Connect and Power On the DME-10J6.2
Connect the SDI source to “SDI In” on the rear panel of the encoder.(2)
Connect an Ethernet cable from “Ethernet” on the back of the DME-10J to a switch, router or other(3)
DHCP server on the same network as your Windows PC.
Connect the 5V power supply and turn on the power switch. It will take 20-30 seconds to boot.(4)
