the network cable is connected to the switch. You can also connect directly to
the network port of the computer.
Connect power supply
After connected with the power adapter (DC 5v), the power light will be on and
the device starts working.
Notes:
When network switch provides PoE, there is no need to connect to the power
supply.

Tally
When the NDI source is output to NDI receivers such as vMix, TriCaster,
etc. and when switch to Program or Preview, the encoder receives the
notification and changes the color on the “Tally” device, as shown in the
figure below:
Device Management
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 htlp://192.168.1.168, to login the web console.
Notes: For the first login or after restoring the factory settings, you need to agree to the popping up “EULA”. Otherwise, the device cannot work normally.
How to configure the computer and device under the same network segment?
Please do as follows: first configure the IP address with the buttons,
“Network and Internet Settings-“Network and Sharing Center”-”
Ethernet”-“Internet Protocol Version 4″-” Use the following IP address”, then
manually enter the IP address with 192.168.1. ( refers to numbers between
1-255 except 168) and subnet mask, finally click “OK”
Network 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).
Notes: When the device is set to obtain an address dynamically by DHCP, the NDI software can automatically discover the device in the next time after the correct connection, and no need to log into the Webpage.
NDI Encoding
In the information status bar, you can check whether the input signal
resolution and frame rate are correct, and the encoding bit rate is refreshed
in real time
It is a Full NDI encoding transmission device, supporting up to 4KP60 input.
When video resolution is 4Kp60, the bitrate can be up to 250Mbps. 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.
Coding quality settings
The encoding resolution is the resolution of the video source, it cannot be
scaled. The encoding rate can be decreased or increased by adjusting the
encoding quality.
Channel configuration
When there are multiple NDI sources under the same network, the device name
and channel name can be modified to identify different devices.
Notes:
There is no need to save the parameters after modification, since it will take effect immediately if click other locations of the page.
NDI Connection
Compatible Softwares:
It is compatible with NewTek NDI®. NDI stream service is enabled by default.
When the device is in the same subnet with New TekStudio Monitor software or
others like OBS, vMix, etc. that supports NDI protocol, the device can be
automatically discovered. Select the corresponding device and channel, then
you can play the N DI video stream.
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.
Two methods for restoring factory settings:
- Click “System Settings>Restore factory settings” on the web console.
- 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.
Notes:
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.
