Chapter 3 Network Setup

The Ethernet port on the back panel of the HS-1300 allows the user to import or export Stills/Clip files and

User memory using the Switcher Image Import/Export software. The Switcher Image Import/Export software allows you to manipulate user memories, still pictures and clip files.

Section 3.1 discusses direct connection between the HS-1300 and your Windows computer. In Section 3.2, we will show you how you can remotely set up the Switcher Image Import/Export software with your switcher after it is installed on your Windows computer.

3.1 Switcher Setup with a Windows Computer

When new from the factory the HS-1300 will initially have a static IP address of 192.168.100.101.

The unit can be directly connected to a Windows-based computer using an RJ-45 ethernet cable. The following set up should allow you to initially configure the unit before moving it to an existing DHCP / LAN network.



An RJ-45 Ethernet cable.



Windows 7/8/10 laptop or PC.



The Datavideo Switcher Image

Import/Export software.

Instructions

1.

First connect the HS-1300 and the Windows computer together using an RJ-45 ethernet cable.

2.

Turn on the Windows computer and set it to

static IP setup

within the

Windows

Network and Sharing Centre

. In our example on the left the computer is given the following IP settings so that the computer matches the same IP range as the switcher.

3.

Now install the

Switcher Image

Import/Export software

to the computer.

20

3.2 Installing the Switcher Image Import/Export software to a Windows

Computer

The HS-1300 can be connected to a simple IP network and accessed using Windows-based software. If you have not already set up the HS-1300 with a computer then please follow the instructions in the previous section.

Please download the latest software from the Datavideo HS-1300 web page. See: www.datavideo.com

The install executable file [.msi] will be called

SwitcherImageImEx_vXXXX.msi

The vXXXX represents the latest version number.

Double click this .msi file then

follow the on screen install wizard prompts

.

Once installed launch the

Switcher Image Import/Export software

.

The


has a built-in IP finder, which is designed for PC with multiple

Ethernet cards or DHCP network environment. Please note IP finder can only find devices that are on the same network domain as the PC. If you cannot remember your device IP, please press the

RESET

button to restore the default network settings. Upon launch of the


, you will be prompted to select one Ethernet Interface Card.

Once selected, click

OK

to start the scanning process.

Note: Please make sure the selected interface card is on the same network domain as the HS-1300 device.

Once the HS-1300 device is found, the software will connect with the switcher hardware over the IP set up described in the previous section. If the connection is successfully established, on the software user interface as shown in the diagram below, the

Connect Status

will show “

Connected

” (will display

Not

Connected

if disconnected).

21

Router Based DHCP Setup

The computer software can also access the HS-1300 over an existing TCP/IP LAN type network. In order to initially set up the HS-1300, you may need the assistance of your local I.T. specialist to help with the network settings. To help guide you, we have included a simplified network setup example below, further advice may be available through your dealer locally or your Datavideo regional office.

To create this simple dedicated HS-1300 IP network you will need:



An IP router which can assign/give IP addresses.



Two RJ-45 patch leads.



Windows 7/8/10 laptop or PC.



The IP router Administrator login and password.



The Datavideo Switcher

Image Import/Export software.

Instructions

1.

First connect the router to the HS-1300 and the Windows computer using two RJ-45 patch leads.

2.

Turn on the Windows computer and set it to

DHCP setup

within the

Windows Network and Sharing

Centre

.

3.

Now click the Windows start button and run the CMD prompt window.

4.

At the command line

> : _

type

IPCONFIG

and press enter.

22

5.

The

DEFAULT GATEWAY

number displayed should be the router’s current IP address.

6.

Enter the

DEFAULT GATEWAY IP address

into the address bar of the computer’s web browser.

7.

The web browser should display the login window for the router. Enter the router’s login and/or password.

The login details may be written on a sticker on the router itself or noted in the manual for the router.

8.

Once logged into the router we need to change the router to supply IP addresses in the

192.168.100.xxx

range. Use the router’s

LAN Setup

or

Configure LAN

option to set the router’s IP address as

192.168.100.1

and click

save / apply

.

9.

Now reboot the router and power ON the HS-1300.

10.

Log into the router again using the web browser and the router’s new IP address

192.168.100.1

11.

Use the router’s

LAN Setup

or

Configure LAN

option again, within this option there should be another option called

Address Reservation

or

Client List

.

12.

The two devices connected to the router should be listed here, the computer and the HS-1300.

13.

The computer, because it is set for DHCP, will already have an IP address automatically assigned to it in this list.

14.

The HS-1300 will also be listed with its default IP address of

192.168.100.101

if it is not changed.

15.

Click

save / apply

then reboot the router again.

16.

Close the web browser and CMD windows.

17.

Now install the


to the computer.

Setting the Target IP Address with the Switcher Image Import/Export Software

Click

Setup

button in the

MENU SELECT

pane and the current IP Network settings are shown alongside the software version.

23

If the network settings are wrong then you may not be able to access the HS-1300. Always keep a note of the last IP settings used and change these settings carefully to avoid problems.

Target IP address

– This IP address is the location on the local network, or the internet, where the software can talk to the HS-1300. By clicking the

Target IP address

you can enter a new address, once entered click

Save Setup

. The next time the Image Import/Export Software is opened, it will try to contact the switcher on this new Target IP address.

Network

– This option in the yellow menu column allows you to change the network options on the HS-

1300. When delivered from the factory

the default static IP settings should be:

Addr Mode:

Static (a manually set IP address that does not change even after power cycling the HS-

1300 unit)

Target IP address:

192.168.100.101

Network Mask:

255.255.255.0

Gateway:

192.168.100.1

DHCP Setup

- If the IP set up method is changed to DHCP then each time the HS-1300 is started, it may be given a different IP address by the network. Only use this method if you know how to find the HS-1300 on the internal IP network. A device on the network (usually a router or server) will automatically assign an IP address to the HS-1300. The other settings such as IP address, Subnet Mask and Gateway may appear blank within the


as these would be automatically set by network router/DHCP server.

Chapter 5 Video Streaming

The HS-1300 Portable Video Studio includes a built-in Video Streaming Server (NVS-31) allowing the user to stream and record your program at the same time. From any SDI/HDMI input sources, the Datavideo’s video streaming server generates an H.264 encoded stream that is compliant with RTSP or RTMP(S) protocols. While encoding the video at bit rates appropriate for live streaming, the Datavideo NVS-31 concurrently records a high-quality MP4 file to an SD card.

Note: The built-in video streaming server and recording device are referred to as NVS-31.

5.1 Streaming Network Connection and Device Search

This section details how to connect the NVS-31 to a network with or without a DHCP server, and describes how to acquire the NVS-31’s IP address.

Connecting to a DHCP Network (DHCP Mode)

Follow the following procedure to scan your DHCP network for connected NVS-31 devices.

Note: The NVS-31 will be automatically assigned an IP address upon connection to the DHCP network.

1.

Connect the NVS-31’s stream port to the network via an Ethernet cable.

2.

Turn on the HS-1300’s power and the NVS-31 will also be turned ON in the DHCP mode by default.

3.

Connect the laptop to the same network that the NVS-31 is connected to and download the free IP

Finder utility program.

4.

Double click the IP Finder utility program icon to open the IP Finder interface.

5.

Click the

SCAN

button to start searching for connected devices.

Connecting to a NON-DHCP Network (Static IP)

Upon connection to a non-DHCP network, the NVS-31 will not be assigned of any IP addresses. As such it is recommended that you manually assign a fixed IP address to the device or use the default IP address

(

192.168.1.60

).

44

Default Fixed IP

Default Fixed IP is primarily used in point-to-point connection, such as connecting the PC to the NVS-31 directly. In a non-DHCP environment, the NVS-31 works in fixed IP mode only. To configure the NVS-31 to the

default IP

, please follow the steps outlined below:

1.

Connect the NVS-31’s stream port to the network via an Ethernet cable.

2.

Turn on the HS-1300’s power and the NVS-31 will also be turned ON in the DHCP mode by default.

3.

Search for the NVS-31 device according to the method as detailed in the previous DHCP section. Once found, log into the user interface on the web browser.

4.

Enter the system page by clicking the “System” tab on the home of the user interface.

5.

In the “Network Setting”, disable the DHCP mode.

6.

You will then be allowed to manually enter the static IP address once the DHCP mode is disabled. The static IP is 192.168.1.60 by default. The subnet mask and default gateway are 255.255.255.0 and 192.168.1.254 respectively.

Tip: If you forget or lose the IP address, do the following to reset the network settings.



Turn off the switcher.



Press the

RECORD

and

STREAM

buttons at the same time then turn ON the power of the switcher



Wait for about five seconds and release the button push as soon as you see the

RECORD

and

STREAM

button LEDs light up.



The IP address should be the default IP which is

192.168.1.60

.

Troubleshooting the Network Connection

Connect the NVS-31 to the network and open the IP Finder utility program. Scan for the device. If not found, it is possible that your network is not assigning IP addresses. Reasons of this are outlined as follows:



Router or DHCP server is not connected to the network.



New devices are blocked by the network administrator.



Anti-virus software or the firewall blocks the communication.

Solve the problem by trying the following:



Turn off the router, wait for 10 seconds then turn on the router again.



Reset the NVS-31 to the factory default:

-


-

Push the

Record and Stream

buttons simultaneously while turning on the switcher’s power.

-


RECORD

and

STREAM




Reboot the PC.

If the problem still persists, try the following ways:



Temporarily shut down the anti-virus software or firewall.



Make sure no other devices are connected to the LAN (wired or wireless) because this may result in

IP conflicts.

45

After trying all methods and if the problem is still not solved, the NVS-31 video streaming server offers the fixed IP feature that allows you to establish direct connection to the NVS-31. The default IP address is

192.168.1.60.

This method allows you to configure the NVS device to the IP range of your network so that you do not need a DHCP server to gain access to the NVS device.



Connect your PC to the NVS device directly using an Ethernet cable (not necessarily a crossover cable).

Next, change the network settings of your PC or laptop.



Click START located at the bottom left corner of your screen.



On the text bar, enter Network Connections then click the icon that appears.



Double click the network adapter that connects your PC or laptop to the network.



Click the “

Properties

” button.



Select “

Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)

” option and click the “

Properties

” button.



Check the “

Obtain an IP address automatically

” option.



Enter IPv4 settings:

-

IP Address: 192.168.1.2

-

Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 (System default is 255.255.255.0)

-

Default Gateway: Not required for one-to-one connection.

Note: Please write down the IPv4 address previously entered as it may be needed after you are done with streaming or recording.



The NVS-31 should now be connected with an IP address of 192.168.1.60.

If the NVS-31 still cannot connect, simply restore the NVS-31 to the factory defaults.

-


-

Push the

Record and Stream

buttons simultaneously while turning on the switcher’s power.

-


RECORD

and

STREAM


46

-

Make sure no other devices are connected to the LAN (wired or wireless) because this may result in IP conflicts.



Login the NVS-31 via a web browser.

-

Default user name is

admin

-

Default password is

000000



Click the “

System

” tab then on the system page, enter network settings such as static IP and default gateway. Make sure that the default gateway matches your connected network and no device shares the same IP as the NVS-31.

For example, if your router’s default gateway IP is 10.10.1.1, then in the default gateway field, you should also enter 10.10.1.1. Then set the IP address of the NVS-31 to 10.10.1.X, which can range from 10.10.1.2 to 10.10.1.255. Pick an unused IP address.



DHCP

：

Disable



Static IP

：

X.X.X.Y

； the first three decimal numbers must be the same as your router or switch. The number Y must be a number not used by any devices connected to the network.



Subnet Mask

：

255.255.255.0



Default Gateway

：

Z.Z.Z.Z

； same as the gateway IP of your router or switch.

Note: Some router may require special gateway IP setting; instead of the standard 192.168.1.1.

Therefore, you should check the network properties on the PC before switching to the fixed IP mode.

For example, some routers have a gateway IP of 192.168.1.254 and as a result, the default gateway and primary DNS fields on the NVS-31 must also be configured to 192.168.1.254.



Primary DNS: Same as the default gateway IP, which, if causing issues, can be changed to 8.8.8.8 or

8.8.8.4 (Public DNS provided by Google).



Click the “

Submit

” button to save the network settings.



Reconnect the PC and the NVS-31 to the network.



Restore the PC’s original network settings.



Shut down the HS-1300; wait for approximately five seconds before turning the HS-1300 back ON.



You should be able to access the NVS-31 through the fixed IP address.

Advanced Troubleshooting

If you still are unable to connect, please try the following:



Use the ARP table to search for the encoder’s MAC address; the device’s MAC address is on the print label at the bottom of your HS switcher.



MAC address starts with

00:07:36:03:xx:xx

.

-

Switcher’s MAC address starts with 00:07:36:07:xx:xx (HS-1300 and HS-1300 only)



On the command prompt (terminal on MAC OS), enter "

arp -a

" then press enter key to display an

ARP list. See if the NVS-31 is successfully connected to the network.



Execute

services.msc

， and on the right column of the “

Services”

window, locate “

DHCP Client”

then click “

Restart”

.



On the command prompt, enter

ipconfig/flushdns

followed by

ipconfig/release and ipconfig/renew.

Stream and Record Settings

In the section, you will be introduced various setting options of stream and record functions.

52

Stream Encoder Settings

Bitrate Mode

The bitrate mode sets the video bitrate mode for your video stream. The available modes are high, mid and low.

Note: You are allowed to switch between different bitrate modes by pressing the Bitrate button on the Record/Stream panel. See

section

5.4

for details.

Auto Stream

If the Auto Stream is enabled, in the event of power outage, the stream will be automatically restored after the switcher is powered ON again.

Resolution

The first step of encoder setup is to adjust the image size. It is best to either match your original video source or scale it down. For example, capture at HD 720 and stream at HD 720. Or capture at HD 720 and stream at 540 (high).

You should never be scaling up and streaming at a higher resolution than your original video source. For example, it does not make sense to capture at 720 and stream at 1080. Note that you will also have no gain in quality and you are using more bandwidth than is necessary for your viewers.

You should also be aware that higher resolutions require greater processing power to encode the stream. Attempting too high of a resolution on too little processing power can result in degraded image quality and corrupted or interrupted streams or recordings.

Frame Rate

Select a frame rate from the drop-down menu for video streaming. Note that frame rates should always match the frame rate of the video source.

53

Profile

Profile

sets the H.264 encoding profile for your stream. The available options are

Baseline

,

Main

, and

High

. Typically,

High

profile provides the best image quality and is suitable in most instances. However, depending on the decoder used when viewing the stream, such as with mobiles devices, a Main or Baseline profile may be required.


The bitrate of the video specifies the amount of information stored in the video. The higher the bitrate is, the clearer the video is. However, when choosing your encoding settings for streaming, you should first check your available upload bandwidth. A good rule of thumb is for the bitrate of your stream to use no more than 50% of your available upload bandwidth capacity on a

DEDICATED

line. For example, if the result you get from a speed test shows that you have 2Mbps of upload speed available, your combined audio and video bitrate should not exceed

1Mbps.

Usually high bitrate means good image quality; however, there are also exceptions. For example, SD video may appear acceptable at 1000 Kbps

(1M) but HD video is unacceptable at 1000 Kbps. Therefore we recommend the following settings for your video bitrate:



When NVS-31 is in record-only mode, the recommended video bitrate is 16 Mbps.



When NVS-31 is in stream-only mode, the recommended video bitrate is 10 Mbps.



When NVS-31 streams and records simultaneously, sum of the stream and record video bitrates should not exceed 12Mbps.


The NVS-31 offers the user the following audio bitrates at which you may want to stream the audio. It is recommended to select 128Kbps or higher.

54

GOP

GOP pattern with longer GOP length encodes video very efficiently.

Shorter GOP lengths usually work better with video that has quick movements, but they do not compress the data rate as much. Depending on your applications, the NVS-31 offers the user 16 GOP sizes ranging from 1 to 180.

Stream Settings

Stream Type

The NVS-31 offers the user five stream types which are

RTSP

,

RTMP(S)

,

TS

,

HLS

, and

SRT

.

Please note that when streaming, the NVS-31 converts video into data, which are sent across an IP network. High bitrates consume more bandwidth across the IP network. In a gigabit office LAN, high bitrate may not be a concern and Speed/Bandwidth is therefore not a limitation in an

NVS-31 application environment.

If your available bandwidth is limited, you should reduce both the resolution and the bitrate accordingly. A good rule of thumb is for the bitrate of your stream to use no more than 50% of your available upload bandwidth capacity on a dedicated line. For example, if the result you get from a speed test shows that you have 2Mbps of upload speed available, your combined audio and video bitrate should not exceed 1Mbps.

Stream Type – RTSP

RTSP Port

RTSP Port is 554 by default.

RTSP HTTP Port

Record Encoder Settings

Bitrate Mode

The bitrate mode sets the video bitrate mode for your video stream. The available modes are high, mid and low.

Note: You are allowed to switch between different bitrate modes by pressing the Bitrate button on the Record/Stream panel. See

Section 5.4

for details.

Resolution

Recording resolution is the number of pixels (dots) used to create an image. Higher resolutions use more pixels to create an image. This means that greater amounts of detail can be expressed in the image, but larger files sizes and a greater amount of storage (i.e. hard drive space) are required to save the images or video.

57

Frame Rate

Frame rate greatly impacts the style and viewing experience of a video.

Different frame rates yield different viewing experiences, and choosing a frame rate often means choosing between things such as how realistic you want your video to look, or whether or not you plan to use techniques such as slow motion or motion blur effects.

Below is a list of common options for different applications:



24fps

– This is the standard for movies and TV shows, and it was determined to be the minimum speed needed to capture video while still maintaining realistic motion.



30fps

– Videos with a lot of motion, such as sports, will often benefit from the extra frames per second.



60+fps

– Anything higher than 30fps is mainly used to create slow motion video or to record video game footage.

Profile

Profile

sets the H.264 encoding profile for your recorder. The available options are

Baseline

,

Main

, and

High

. Typically,

High

profile provides the best image quality and is suitable in most instances.


The bitrate of the video specifies the amount of information stored in the video. The higher the bitrate is, the clearer the video is.

Recommended video bitrate



720P or lower

– 8 – 10 mbps



1080P or higher

– 15 mbps or higher

Importing the Clip for Stinger Transition Effect from the PC

On the HS-1300, you will be able to add a clip between sources. Besides using the existing clips on the machine, you are also allowed to import your own clip (a series of

bmp/png/jpg/pic

files) to the HS-1300 from the PC using the

Switcher Image Import/Export utility

, which can be downloaded from the HS-1300 product page.



First connect the HS-1300 to a Windows computer using an RJ-45 Ethernet cable.

89



Since the HS-1300 has a default IP address of 192.168.100.101 so the computer should be given the

IP settings that match the same IP range as the switcher.



Turn on the Windows computer and manually set the IP to 192.168.100.X

within the

Windows


.



Now install the

from the yellow menu options.

90

The clip number allows you to select a location where you can save the clip.

To import a clip from the computer into the HS-1300, select

Import Clip

.

Note:

The


does the conversion from bmp/png/jpg to the .pic file format. All you need is to give the utility a starting file location and it will give the utility an idea where to start linking all images up into a sequential animation file.

Importing Clips

Select “

Import Clip

” will open a file browser window. Browse to the directory where your clip files are saved and then select the file at the zeroth location, in our example on the right, the file name is

frame-000.png

.

Click

Open

to start the clip import. If your files are not the .pic format, they will be automatically converted to .pic format by the

Switcher Image

Import/Export utility

first.

After the file conversion, the clip import will then start. After the import is complete, the progress dialog will be automatically closed.

Note

: Clip Conversion and Clip Import have progress dialogs that show progress & number of frames done. These dialogs also have a cancel button which allows the user to cancel the import at any stage.

If the import is cancelled, then the partially imported data will be deleted.

Important things to note while creating Stinger Transition Effects

When using Datavideo’s HS-1300 Multi-Channel Switcher to design and create the Stinger Transition Effects, in addition to being creative, there are a few things that you need to take into account of.

1. Length limit of the stinger transition animation

The length of a good stinger transition animation should be approximately 0.5 to 2 seconds.

2. The HS-1300 allows a maximum of 200 image files in an animation sequence

The number of image files will determine the length of stinger transition time.

3. While designing the animation, it is best to have an image that fills up the entire frame to create a satisfactory visual effect (please see the images below).

Appendix 3: GPI Connection

The HS-1300 can control external recorder/playback devices via simple contact closure GPI switch.

The GPI interface is a 3.5mm Jack Socket which is situated on the rear panel of the HS-1300.

Contact closure between the Outer and Inner contacts on the jack plug will trigger a user selected event.

Power is supplied by the HS-1300 and is less than 5V DC.

This GPI socket can also be used as a socket to trigger record or playback events with other equipment such as the Datavideo HDR-70 recorder.

SAFETY FIRST

The cabling required needs to be designed specifically to connect the HS-1300 to the chosen record or playback device as they are not all the same. The cabling required can be made by yourself or a competent technician. Please speak with your Dealer or local Datavideo office to get further help and advice.

111

Appendix 4: Tally Outputs

The HS-1300 has a D-sub 15 pin female tally output port. These connections provide bi-colour tally information to a number of other Datavideo products, such as the ITC-100 eight channel talkback system and the TLM range of LCD

Monitors.

The ports are open collector ports and as such do not provide power to tally light circuits.

The pin outputs are defined as follows:

Appendix 5: Frequently-Asked Questions

This section describes problems that you may encounter while using HS-1300. If you have any questions, please refer to related sections and follow all suggested solutions. If problem still exists, please contact your distributor or the service center.

No. Problems Solutions

1. What is the maximum bit rate of the HS-1300?

Depending on the purpose of use, the device’s maximum bit rate varies:

Record-Only

: 16 Mbps

Stream-Only

: 10 Mbps

Stream and Record

: sum of the two video bitrates should not exceed 12Mbps

2. What SD card classes do you recommend?

3. a. I’ve recorded video on SD Card Class C10 but

I am still seeing delay?

Please use SD Card Classes C10/U1/V10. a. This could be due to unoptimized disk formatting. Format your disk on the NVS-31 or using the tool downloaded from the SD association’s official website

( https://www.sdcard.org/cht/downloads/form atter_4/index.html

).

b. In this case, why doesn’t the system issue any error messages as soon as video recording is started?

b. The system only detects and sets write speed upon start of video recording. The system will not issue an error message if insufficient write speed is experienced while video recording is in progress.

4. Why am I seeing blurry images while the video is being streamed over the RTSP protocol?

1. The maximum streaming resolution offered on the NVS-31 is 1080p60 so try viewing the streamed video on another computer.

2. Change your video source to 1080i (the switcher output) and lower the bitrate.

3. This could be due to insufficient network capacity. Use a Gigabit switch or router.

5. The recorded video file cannot be played if recording is stopped due to system crash or power failure.

This is the limitation of MP4 files, which cannot be played as long as the recording is stopped incorrectly. It is recommended to use other video formats to record or repair the file using certain software tools.

6 How to retrieve the device IP if I do not remember the network settings or the network settings are lost?

If you do not remember the IP address assigned to the device, follow the steps below to reset the network settings:



Turn off the machine.



Press the

RECORD

and

STREAM

buttons simultaneously and switch ON the device.



Wait for 5 seconds approximately and release the button push as soon as the two buttons light up.



The default IP address is

192.168.1.60

.

113

7 How to remove the clip stored in the CH6 buffer after the Clip transition is disabled?

8 A few important things to note about operating the NVS-31.

You should first clear the clip buffer using the

Delete Clip

option in the

User Mems

sub menu, and then set CH6 to live or still in the

Inputs

sub menu.

Because the NVS-31 UI is not updated in real time so the UI status display may not reflect the current device status.

As a result, whether the device is operated on the panel, on the UI or both, please refresh the status page from time to time to make sure the information shown is the latest. You should also constantly monitor your video recording and streaming at the same time.
