21
5.2 Source
The tag1, 2, 3 and 4 represent the video and audio input sources for channel 1 to channel 4. Due to that the video input source for the channel 1 can be SDI, HDMI or
IP Stream, users can see the SDI and HDMI tags for the channel 1 which are shown as following diagram. Users can press the “HDMI” tag from the “Source” option on the toolbar menu to adjust the brightness, contrast, hue and saturation values by the sliders. After the adjustment is finished, users can press the “Apply” button to apply and save the settings. If users want to restore the related values back to the factory default values, please press the “Reset” button. The Embedded, Line-in and XLR audio input sources will be shown below the sliders. The video and audio tags with colors represent current input situation.
If the Input Source is SDI
22
If the Input Source is HDMI
If the Input Source is IP Stream
The IP Stream function allows users to use the IP Stream to be the input source and the NVS-40 can acquire the streaming video remotely.
23
Please follow following steps for using the IP Stream to be the input source of the
NVS-40.
Step 1. Please copy the streaming address from the streaming source.
Step 2. Please click “IP Stream” from the web UI of the NVS-40 and then please paste the copied streaming address to the “Source URL” column in the IP Stream interface.
After that, please press the “Apply” button. Note: If there is no special need, please set this “Source URL” column as UDP.
24
The input source related information will be shown on the bottom of the “Source” page. If the streaming video is decoded by the NVS-40 correctly, the word “IP
Stream” and resolution will be shown.
Step 3. At this time, the NVS-40 can acquire the streaming video remotely.
The interfaces for video and audio input sources for Channel 2 to Channel 4 are shown as following diagram.
25
For the input source, if “Line-in” or “XLR” is selected, there is a slider for users to adjust the volume. However, this interface also allow users to select the audio source to be “SMPTE”, “EBU” or “Manual”. After the setting is finished, please press the “Apply” button to apply the setting.
All of the input sources related information will be shown on the bottom of the
Source page which is shown as following diagram.

5.3 Encoder
Users can see the Encoder control page by pressing the Encoder option on the menu bar. There are five tags including tag1, tag 2, tag 3, tag4 and PGM which are shown in the “Encoder” control page. Each tag allows users to set parameters in two Encoders including Main Encoder and Sub Encoder. Users can set 8 parameters including
Resolution, Frame Rate, Profile, Level, Entropy, GOP, Video Bitrate(bps) and Audio
Bitrate(bps) for the Main Encoder and Sub Encoder separately. The Channel 1,
Channel 2, Channel 3, Channel 4 and PGM output signals can apply different Main
Encoder and Sub Encoder settings, which means that there are 10 parameters that can be set by users from the Encoder page. After the adjustment is finished, users can press the “Apply” button to apply and save those settings. If the input source is the SD signal, the aspect ratio option is added for the Encoder option. If the input source is not the SD signal, the aspect ratio option will not be shown.

5.3.1 Setting Steps and Important Notices for Encoder Option Setting (Take Youtube as an Example)
Please follow following steps and important notices for setting related parameters of the Encoder option for the NVS-40.
Step 1. Users need to go to the streaming platform/streaming media server to confirm their recommended Encoder settings. After that, please set a closest value for your NVS-40.
30
Note: For the live-streaming, the quality of the video is the most important. So, please make sure to set suitable resolution according to your network connection speed to assure that the streaming video can be played smoothly. It is recommended to test the data upload bitrates before starting the live-streaming. If users use
“Stream Now” option, it is no need for you to set your desired resolution, Framerate and Video bitrate due to that those settings will be detected automatically by the
“Stream Now” function. If you start your live-streaming by the “Events” option, what you need to do is to select one streaming token with variable resolutions to have the advantage of the “Stream Now” option. Moreover, users can select their desired resolution and framerate settings manually and then Youtube will encode your streaming video automatically to produce multiple output formats to fit different network speed and device demands for the audience of the live-streaming. Before the live-streaming is started, please make sure that the test is done. The content of the test should include the content that is similar to the live-streaming content.
During the live-streaming period, users can monitor the streaming situation and check the error messages.
Step 2. Set the Profile Option. Due to that there is little difference for different
Profile settings. So, it is recommend to fix the Profile option at “High”.
For the HD or 720P resolution, please set the Profile at “High”.
For the 720 resolution, please set the Profile at “Main”.
For the resolution which is below the 720, please set the Profile at “Baseline”.
Step 3. Please set the Entropy option at CABAC (The recommended value of the
Yoututbe platform).
Step 4. Set the Video Bitrate (bps). Please follow following Youtube platform recommended values for setting the Video Bitrate.
1080P
：
3,000 - 6,000 Kbps
720p @60fps
：
2,250 - 6,000 Kbps
720p
：
1,500 - 4,000 Kbps
480p
：
500 - 2,000 Kbps
240p
：
300 - 700 Kbps
Step 5.
Set the Audio Bitrate (bps). The recommended Audio Bitrate is 128K.
31
Step 6. Set the GOP. The recommended GOP values for the Youtube platform are shown as following table.
Frequency for playing the I Frame (Key Frame): The recommended setting is 2 seconds and this value must not exceed 4 seconds.
The setting values for the 2 seconds I Frame Interval are shown as following table
.
Resolution and Frame Rate
1080P@50
1080i@50
1080P@60
1080i@60

5.3.2 Important Notices for Setting the Encoder (Take Facebook Platform as an
Example)
If users want to stream at the Facebook Platform, please follow following important
Notices for streaming by the Facebook Platform.
The recommended upper limit for the Video Bitrate (bps) setting is 4000kbps
(4mbps).
The recommended upper limit for setting the Resolution option is 720p (1080 x 720).
The upper limit for setting the Frame Rate is 30fps.
During the streaming period, the I-Frame must be sent in every 2 seconds. (Key

The title must be within 255 characters or the streaming will be failed.
The Facebook platform supports for H.264 encoded video and AAC encoded audio only.
If the resolution for the video source is 1280*720P@30, it is fine to set the resolution at “Same as Input”.
If the source resolution is 1280*720P@60/50, the setting for frame rate must be changed to 30 or 25.
32
If the source resolution is 1920 x 1080, please set the video bitrate (bps) as
1280*720 from the drop-down menu due to that the upper limit for the resolution is
1280*720.
Because the upper limit for the recommended video bitrate for the Facebook platform is 4000kbps, so, it is a must for users to set the video bitrate to less than
4mbps.
During the streaming, the Key Frame must be sent for every two seconds which is the same as Youtube platform’s demand.
