MJPEG Sub stream Operation Introduction

MJPEG Sub stream Preview/Configuration via Web Page

The product supports playing MJPEG Sub stream on computer through the corresponding software such as VLC media player , simultaneously you can access the Web page to configure the MJPEG Sub stream.

Follow the steps below to preview and configure the MJPEG Sub stream.

Step 1:

Connect the Encoder, Decoder and PC to the same Switcher, then connect an HDMI source device and power supply. The connection diagram is shown as below.

Step 2:

Install a bonjour protocol checking tool (such as zero confService Browser) on PC to find the IP address of the Encoder/Decoder.
Take zeroconfService Browser as an example. After opening the software, you can select “Workgroup Manager” in Services of Browser, select the Host name in Service-Instances, and find the IP address in the Address item in of Instance- Info.

Note:

1. The window in the lower left corner displays the Host names of all devices in the current network.
2. The window in the lower right corner displays the Host name, IP address and Port number of the device.
3. The Host name of Encoder starts with AST-ENC; the Host name of Decoder starts with AST-DEC.

Step 3:

Set the PC’s IP address to the same network segment with IP address of the Encoder/Decoder 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 PC. The MJPEG Sub stream 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. Default is 640.
• HEIGHT: [Optional] image height. In pixels. ‘x’ means no change. Default is 360.

4K over IP System Control

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

Application Example

Note:

1. For the default IP mode of Control LAN port of the Controller Box is DHCP, the PC also needs to be set to “Obtain an IP address automatically” mode, 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 Control LAN port. You need to set the IP address of the PC to be in the same network segment. For example, set PC’s IP address as 192.168.0.88.
3. You can access the Web GUI by inputting 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.
