OPERATIONS GUIDE
Network Configuration and Login
Connect the encoder to the network via a network cable. The default IP address
of the encoder is 192.168.1.168. The encoder can auto-obtain a new IP address
when it is using DHCP on the network, Or disable DHCP and configure the
encoder and computer’s network in the same network segment. The default IP
address as below.
- IP Address: 192.168.1.168
- Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
- Default Gateway: 192.168.1.1
Visit the encoder’s IP address 192.168.1.168 through an Internet browser to log in to the WEB page for setting up. The default Username is admin, and password is admin.
Management Web Page
The encoding settings can be set on the encoder management web page.
Language Settings
There are languages of Chinese, Japanese, and English options on the top-right
corner of the encoder management web page.

LIVE STREAM CONFIGURATION
Configure the encoder to live stream on platforms like YouTube, Facebook, twitch, Periscope, etc. Following is an example to show how to configure the encoder to live stream on YouTube.
-
Step 1. Set the main parameters of Stream Protocol to the H.264 mode, and other options are recommended to be the default configuration. On some occasions, they can be adjusted according to the actual situation. For example, if the network speed is slow, the Bitrate Control can be switched from CBR to VBR and adjust the Bitrate from 16 to 12000.
-
Step 2. Setting the RTMP options as follows image:
-
Step 3. Enter the stream URL and stream key in the RTMP URL, and connect them with”/”.
For example, the stream URL is “rtmp://a.rtmp.youtube.com/live2”.
The Stream key is “acbsddjfheruifghi”.
Then the RTMP URL will be “Stream
URL”+ “/” + “Stream Key”:
“rtmp://a.rtmp.youtube.com/live2/acbsddjfheruifghi”. See below image
.
-
Step 4. Click“Apply” to live stream on YouTube.
