(3) The Host name of the Encoder starts with AST-ENC; the Host name of the Decoder starts with AST-DEC.

Step 3: Set the PC’s IP address to the same network segment as the Encoder/Decoder IP address found in step 2.

Step 4: According to the IP address of the Encoder/Decoder found through the bonjour protocol checking tool, input “http://IP:PORT/?action=stream” into the web browser on your PC. The MJPEG Substream will be displayed with the default resolution, as shown in the figure below.

Step 5: Change the resolution of the obtained Encoder/Decoder IP address in the following format.
http://IP:PORT/?action=stream &w=x&h=x&fps=x&bw=x&as=x&mq=x

• WIDTH: [Optional] image width. In pixels. ‘x’ means no change.
  The default is 640.

• HEIGHT: [Optional] image height. In pixels. ‘x’ means no change.
  The default is 360.

• FRAMERATE: [Optional] frame rate of sub-stream.
  Unit: fps (frame per second). ‘x’ means no change. The default is 30.

• BW: [Optional] maximum bandwidth of sub-stream traffic.
  Unit: Kbps (Kbits per second). ‘x’ means no change. The default is 8000 (8Mbps).

• AS: [Optional] aspect ratio configuration. ‘x’ means no change. The default is 0.

• 0: extend to what “WIDTH” and “HEIGHT” configured

• 1: [A1 only] keep the original aspect ratio and place it in the center of the output(letterboxing or pillar boxing)

• MINQ: [Optional] minimum image quality number. Range: 10, 20, …, 90, 100, higher setting means better image quality. ‘x’ means no change. The default value is 10. Limit driver auto bandwidth control’s minimum quality number.
  If the quality is lower than the MINQ value, the driver will drop the frame by returning the 0-size file.

After changing, input the new Encoder/Decoder IP address into the web browser on the PC, and the MJPEG Substream will be displayed with the desired resolution, as shown in the figure below.

7.2 VLC Media Player Instruction

First, perform steps 1~3, described in Chapter 7.1, then open the VLC media player on the PC. Please see the following icon.

Click “Media > Open Network Stream.”

After clicking the “Open Network Stream” option, the following page will appear.

Enter the MJPEG Substream network URL, then click the “ Play ” button.

Choose “ Tools >Codec information“; a pop-up window will display and show you Stream information, as shown in the figure below.

Choose “ Tools >Codec information>Statistics” to check the current Bitrate. Please see the following picture.

Note: The Bitrate is floating up and down when you check it. This is a normal phenomenon.

8. Switch Model

A network Switch used to set up the system should support below features:

1. layer 3/managed network Switch.
2. Gigabit bandwidth.
3. 8KB jumbo frame capability.
4. IGMP snooping.

The following Switch models are highly recommended.

9. 4K over IP System Control

Controller Box or third-party controller can control this product. For details of 4K over IP system control, please refer to the “Video over IP Controller” user manual.

10. Application Example

1. Encoder
2. DVD
3. Controller Box
4. Router (optional)
5. PC
6. 1G Ethernet Switch
7. Decoder
8. TV
9. 4x Decoder
10. Video Wall

Note:
(1) For the default IP mode of the Control LAN port of the Controller Box is DHCP, the PC also needs to be set to the “Obtain an IP address automatically” method, and a DHCP server (e.g., network router) is required in the system.
(2) If there is no DHCP server in the system, 192.168.0.225 will be used as the IP address of the Control LAN port. You must set the PC’s IP address in the same network segment. For example, set the PC’s IP address as 192.168.0.88.
(3) You can access the Web GUI by inputting the Control LAN port IP address (192.168.0.225) or URL “http://controller.local” on your computer’s browser.
(4) No need to care about settings of Video LAN port of the Controller Box, they are managed by Controller automatically (Default).
(5) When the Network Switch does not support PoE, the Encoder, Decoder and Controller Box should be powered by DC power adapter.
