MAC address can be changed in the Web-IF if needed.
Notes and Hints:
The Gigabit-Ethernet-port does not support PoE so please take care of not accidently using a
PoE switch- you can damage the port and the unit will be not accessible anymore.
We recommend to use an IGMP-V2/3 protocol capable GBE- Switch to avoid flooding your
network with unmanaged multicast streams. Also some consumer Internet routers do not
like Multicasts (UDP/RTP) and might reboot periodically.
An Internet-connection is not necessary as long as you need to use NTP and does not have
an own NTP server in your network.
Please asure that your HDMI –Output you like to encode is set to max. UHD with 2160p30 or
lower. Higher than p30 FPS will not work. If connecting a HDMI-Out-Player, they often need
to manually set to 2160p25 or 30...otherwise, its evtl. 50 or 60 (like Laptops often use).
The embedded Linux system takes some seconds to fully boot. After the System-LED is on,
you can connect your browser to it. We recommend Chrome, Opera, and Mozilla. For a
preview PopUp in the browser, a flash-player addon need to be installed for the browser.
Sometimes it is helpful to reload the browser – page to get the changed settings and values
because of different browser behaviours...
The RESET button will erase all your settings and the unit will be forced to start with factory
defaults. Use a thin wire to pass the small hole and press the inside button by it for at least
5-10 seconds until the System LED will go off. The encoder would perform a restart than
after releasing the button.
The Web-Interface lookalike may vary between different Versions but basically its
selfexplaining.

Setting up your PC/Laptop before connecting:
If you use a Windows based PC, you should assign its ethernet adapter into the same range
like the encoder: Use a static IP like follows: 1st: Open your network settings in System
Menu:


-> Maybe confirm Administrator access->
Change IPv4 settings:
And confirm please. Linux users should know how to change the ethernet or WIFI settings.
Than open your browser and enter the http- Address of the box 192.168.1.168 (w/o https):
Depending on browser you’ll get a log-in-screen window:
( We recommend to use the latest Mozilla browser and not the EDGE)

Enter the default username = admin, default password = admin .... and here we go:
Like the hint above, sometimes its helpful to reload the page:
to gather the actual values like Input HDMI values:
The device time can be adjusted by the Network-setup-part NTP-Server which you need to
tell the NTP server URI and UTC-time difference. UK = ‘0’, Germany normal is UTC+1...
If you press (Sync Time To Device) it will be updated.

Network: Here you can change the encoders IP-address and mode:
If you change it to DHCP – after a reboot it will catch it from your router. Disadvantage: You
need to check the to the encoder given IP Address by your router in it’s own menu or use an
IP-Scanner-tool.
We assume, that you are familiar with the basic settings of a network.
These are the basic ports for HTTP and RTSP-Streaming use. You can modify that but we
recommend to keep them as they are because RTSP – receivers might are fixed to that port
while HTTP isn’t. The bottom of the every of the menu-pages contain the ‘Set up’ buttons to
take and enable your changes.

The bottom Web-frame contains the changing – Menue buttons/fields:
Back to the STATUS PAGE:
You’ll get information about the Input and Time/Date asw ell as CPU load and Memory
usage:
The Record field will only appear if an external USB-PEN or TFCard is inserted in the slot:
Please use only one at the same time: Either USB or SD-Card.
It can be formatted by your PC as FAT32 filesystem usage. EXT2/3/4 are Linux based and are
only accessible by Linux PC’s or you’ll need an extra Tool for MS-Windows based.
FAT, exFAT and FAT32 have limitations regarding the recording file sizes.
Before unplug the TFCard or USB Stick please press ‘Unmount Disk’ to safely close any files
on it avoiding a file system corruption.
The recorded TS-files can be played in your computer i.e. by VLC. And if in the network they
can be accessed by SAMBA: Simply enter the IP address of the encoder in your Windows
Explorer window:

now we record:
You can see the file size increasing ...
Stop it after a while...
The remaining space will be

The size of the files depending on your chosen encoding settings by the Codec and the
bitrate of the MAIN-Stream encoder part.
The STATUS page shows your Setup encodings for the MAIN and the 3 Substreams.
Parallel and different streamings can be used for all 4 encoder parts as long as the capacity
of the system is not claiming it: You will get a message if the encoding capacity will be
reached and one or more substreams would be disabled...
In some Sub-Streams you can check the Picture/Sound directly in the browser by this button:
but you need to enable the FLV or HLS stream
before using that – and Flash-Player support is needed by your browser:
Enabling it in the related Sub-Stream settings
-> Applying it by Set Up!

This doesn’t mean to restart the encoder but to restart your Stream-receiver-Decoder like
VLC. This message will popup every time you change the encoder parameters. Receivers are
stupid and might not react to the changed values.
Back to STATUS:
NOTE: FLASH-Player usually do not decode HEVC/h.265 codecs... so do not wonder if the
PREVIEW – link will disappear – it is simply non supported by FLASH/Adobe and Apple
(HLS)
But with h.264: Allow your browser to do that (here Mozilla) with flash addon installed:

Note: UDP-Addresse will be taken by VLC with an @ and we have made it easy for you:
AGAIN: You do not
need to restart the encoder only the receivers you have in your network need to re-sync to
the changed values!!!:

RTMP comes now with RTMPs support since Youtube is demanding it.
The independent LOGO/Text Overlay Settings can be done for every of them:
For deeper detailed explanations about the OSD feature refer to the full – Manual please.
Also for the ONVIF settings with RTSP.
Therfore we are adjusting the AUDIO encoding for all encoder parts now (the Audio
encoding cannot be separated for every single MAIN and SUB’s and is common for all:

Higher bitrate settings for the audio result in higher sound quality. Every codecs have
different ranges !!!
So we come to the common SYSTEM settings:
This chapter is selfexplaining – isn’t it?
The default settings are usually Ok for most use-cases:

A schedules ‘restart’ can be programmed (NTP-Time = ON recommended):
The settings as well as the Firmware can be back-upped and re-uploaded:
Finally i.e. after firmware update has been uploaded, the unit can be remotely reset to
factory defaults or rebooted:

We recommend to make yourself familiar with ‘What is Multicast and Unicast’ and the
corresponding IP-Ranges.
A last hint:
Using VLC SAP-Gathering will show a simple click’n start entry:
-> Will receive the stream. This works only with Multicast UDP / RTP !.
Accessing the RECORDED TS-Files directly by WINDOWS-PC:
First you have to enable the WINDOWS –Feature Support of SAMBA and CIFS:
For the old WINDOWS 7 users, this is established by default
Simply enter \\IP-Address-of-the-encoder in the Windows-Explorer
But in WINDOWS 10 (PRO) the support need to be enabled manually:
you need to turn on the SMB1.0 and SMB Direct:

Than enter \\192.168.1.168 in the Explorer – Address-Field and you are directed to:
-> Here as example with a USB-PEN NTFS-formatted and some records done
Simply douple-click on one of them and here VLC has been assigned as the default MediaPlayer:
