REACH ENC1200 HD Encoder

Product Overview

Product Introduction

The HD Encoder is the special hardware equipment developed by Shenzhen Reach software Technology Co.,Ltd for HD video signal and VGA signal coding as well as network transmission. It supports 720P/1080i/1080P HD signals coding. This product adopts high-performance DSP chip and embedded operating system, and features high stability and reliability, high definition, low code rate and low delay. The release of this product fills the blank of the industry. It can be widely used in the applications that require the transmit HD video signal and VGA signal through IP network, is suitable for the HD conference recording & streaming and HD video monitoring applications.

As shown in the rear view of the HD encoder, you only need to connect the signal cables to the corresponding ports.

Power On and Get IP Address

In normal situations, power on the equipment after connecting the power cable to the corresponding port at the rear panel, the LCD panel will display “starting … ” Wait for 1 minute, when the encoder starts up automatically, the LCD panel will display the current input definition, serial number, IP address and other relevant information. (Before you turn on the power, you should make sure network interface-RJ45 connections).

You may view the IP address of the current encoder at the rolling information display field of the LCD panel.

You may also query the encoder IP address through the following method:

Use the DSSIPView.exe in the CD delivered together with product for searching the encoder’s IP address. Double click this program, select equipment you want to search, and click “Search” button, and then you can find the list of all the existing coders in the network, as shown in the following figure:

Note for the Note for the search result:

ENC-1200: it will search for all the ENC-1100 and ENC-1200 HD encoders in the network and list the name(s) and IP(s).

Note:
(1) When using the search service, the HD encoder and the computer running DSSlpViewer.exe shall locate in the same physical network (the IP address may be in different network segments), or else the search would fail.
(2) The search may also fail if the network is set with a VLAN, route, three- layer exchange or special firewall between HD Encoder and the PC with running DSSlpView.exe.

Configuration and Management

Software installation

Find the EncoderManager software in the CD delivered together with the product, directly click Setup program, and operate according to the prompted steps. After the installation is completed, a shortcut will be generated on the computer desktop. Double click the shortcut to start the EncoderManager:

Connect to Encoder

Right click the blank space in any of the four windows to select “connect…”, and then enter the IP address of the HD encoder in the address dialog box. To facilitate the explanation, assume that the IP is 192.168.120.12 and the model of the encoder is ENC1200/ENC1100. After the IP address and password are entered to the address field, press “OK”, and then you can preview the signal content of the HD encoder ENC-1200. (Note: change your computer IP address to be in the same network segment and have the same subnet mask with the encoder, e.g., 192.168.120.100 255.255.255.0, otherwise, you cannot log on the system.)

Parameter Settings

inally, right click the data content preview window to select the “parameter setting”. In the prompted option setting dialog box, change the IP and gateway to the desired value in the “modify IP address” field. Click “OK” button and restart the HD encoder, and the new IP address will be effective.

As shown in the above figure, the viewable and settable parameters of the encoder mainly include:

View information: MAC address, name, version, connection state, device type, IP information, definition, video mode, frame rate, bandwidth, actual frame rate, actual bandwidth, etc.

Change password: passwords of common users and administrators can be changed for EncoderManager connecting to encoder.

Mode selection: fixed code rate/fixed quality. The user can determine the mode and parameter value according to the actual use situation.

Frame rate: 1-30 frames adjustable.

Audio setting: set audio sampling frequency, audio bandwidth and audio input mode.

Volume setting: adjust by dragging the slider according to the actual situation.

Synchronous time: synchronize the time of the encoder and the time of the local PC.

Upgrade: to upgrade the encoder.

Restart: to remotely restart the encoder through network.

WEB Configuration Management

For the HD encoder, in addition to EncoderManager management , you can also manage the encoder by logging on the web through the browser. Enter the HD encoder IP in the browser (such as 192.168.110.11

Enter the user name and password (default: admin for both) and click “Login”, and then the system information of the HD encoder and other menu buttons will be displayed:

Parameter setting

Click the menu “ParamSet”

Video setting

In “Video Setting”, two transmission modes can be set for the HD Encoder. Rate Mode(CBR) and Quality (VBR). In Rate Mode, a fixed bandwidth will be used for the transmission, and the quality in changed according to the set bandwidth. In Quality Mode, a fixed quality is used for the transmission, while the bandwidth will be variable. User can flexibly select the transmission modes according to the network state.

The encoder rate code is 128K – 20M adjustable, while the quality mode is 10-90 adjustable.

The video frame rate is 1-30 frames adjustable.

Input: three input modes (DVI/SDI/AUTO) can be selected according to the actual use situation.

Audio setting

The audio sampling frequency, audio bandwidth and audio input mode of HD video can be adjusted.

Sampling frequency: 44.1 Khz and 48KHz are selectable.

Audio bandwidth: 64Kbps, 96Kbps and 128Kbps are selectable.

Line input or microphone may be selected for the audio.

Subtitles setting

You can set the coordinate position and content of the subtitles and select if the time is display as well.

System Setting

Click ” Configure”, you may change the password of the admin user, upgrade the system and change the IP address of encoder.

Language: Select the language from English and Simply Chinese.

Modification: Change the password for admin.

Update system: Clients can use this page to upgrade version of HD encoder, by choosing the upgrade package and click “upload”.

IP Address Modification: Clients can change the IP address of HD encoder here. Click “Modify”, the HD Encoder will restart automatically, and the new IP address will take effect after restart.
