Device Installation and Connection

Connect video signal

Connect the HDMI signal form a source (such as a camera ) to the HDMI input Port of the device through a cable. The HDMI output is connected to the display device via a HDMI cable.,

Note:

The output interface can be loop for encoding or output for decoding but cannot be used at the same time.

Connect network

Connect the network cable to the Ethernet port of the device. The other end of the network cable is connected to the switch. You can also connect directly to the network port of the computer.

Connect audio

Using a 3.5mm interface headset with a Microphone to connect to the device for voice intercom.

Connect power supply

After connected with the power adapter(DC 5v),the power light will be on and the device starts working.

Note:

When network switch provides PoE, there is no need to connect to the power supply.

LED Indicator

Device Management

Device default IP address

The default IP of the device is 192.168.1.168 and the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.
This IP address is the Failsafe address. Normally you don’t need to modify this IP address.

Login the WEB Console

First set your PC’s IP address to 192.168.1.0/24 subnet, and then log in using the default IP address. You can access http://192.168.1.168, to login the web console.

Note: For the first login or after restoring the factory settings, you need to agree to the popping up “End User License Agreement” Otherwise, the device cannot work normally.

IP address configuration

After login, you can configure the IP address according to the network. It can be manually set or DHCP dynamic (Default set is DHCP dynamic).

NDI Encoding

It is a Full NDI encoding transmission device, supporting up to 1080P60 input. When video resolution is 1080P60, the bitrate can be up to 125Mbps. Therefore, the device and the receiving port should be connected to gigabit network.

**Status Column

**

Here it will display the resolution, frame rate, bit rate and audio format para meters of the video source.

Coding quality settings

The encoding resolution is the resolution that output from the video source, which cannot be configured for scaled encoding.
Encoding bitrate can be appropriately lowered or increased by adjusting encoding quality. The default encoding quality is 100%.

Encoder channel settings

When there are multi NDI sources in the same network, channel names need to be modified to identify different devices because the default channel names are the same.

Note:
There is no need to save the parameters after modified, since the modification will take effect immediately if click other locations of the page.

Advanced settings

In advanced settings, you can set the connection mode of NDI stream, which can be unicast or multicast. Here you can also set the PTZ control function.

NDI Connection

**Compatible Softwares:

**

It is compatible with New Tek NDI®. NDI stream service is enabled by default. When the device is in the same subnet with New Tek Studio Monitor software or others like OBS, vMix, etc. thats upports NDI protocol, the device can be automatically discovered. Select the corresponding device and channel, then you can play the NDI video stream.

NDI Decoding

Discover NDI sources in the network
NDI sources can be detected automatically and will be listed at the same subnet , and you can renew the NDI sources by click

Add target NDI source
Click to add the source to the decoding presupposition.

Switch output NDI source

You can add up to 9 NDI sources in the decoding preset and click the corresponding source to decode. Decoding output can be quickly switched by clicking different NDI sources.

Decoding Parameter Settings

Some information such as resolution, audio parameters, IP address and bit rate of the decoding source will be displayed in “Current Decoding” zone. Please enter into Web page and set the decoding resolution & framerate by clicking .

Note:

This NDI Converter cannot conduct encoding and decoding at the same time, encoding will stop if you enable the decoding function.

Restore Factory Settings

Restore Factory Settings

If the parameters are changed that lead the converter couldn’t work (The typical situation is that the network address was changed, so it couldn’t visit the device by network), users could restore factory setting to default value.

1. Click “System Settings>Restore factory settings” on the web console.
2. Press “Reset” button at the bottom of the device There is a reset button at the bottom of the device, hold the button for more than 5 seconds, the device will restore to factory settings. Restoring factory settings will lead to the restarting of the device. The restarting process takes about 30s.

Note:

These parameters will be restored to default value after restoring factory setting:

• Login username and password will be ‘admin”;
• IP address will be restored as 192.168.1.168. subnet mask will be 255.255.255.0;
• All encoding and decoding parameters of video and audio will be restored to default value;
• Media transmission parameters will be restored as default value.

Firmware upgrading

Firmware upgrading

This device supports online firmware upgrading to upgrade software. Click “System Settings>” Firmware Upgrade” on Web management interface for upgrading. Click “Select a file” to upload the firmware file to upgrade the device.

Note:

Quick Reset and Reboot

Quick Reset and Reboot

“Quick Reset” function is to reset encoding and decoding service, normally it’s used for changing parameters to effect immediately. Quick Reset process lasts around 3s.

“Reboot” function is used for encoder reboot. Device rebooting lasts around 20s.

Note:

Select “Quick Reset”, current encoding and decoding service will be suspended for a while;
Select “Reboot”, the encoder will ‘warm’ reboot. Under some circumstances, reboot might be realized with the help of cold restart, that is by turning on/off the power.
