Note: Due to the browser compatibility issues, it may cause the web page display abnormal, it

is recommended to use Chrome or Edge.

6.2 Network Configuration

6.2.1 Ethernet

After login, you could configure internet IP by DHCP or manually (Default is DHCP). This IP address could be used for network streaming and device management. Once IP address configured, you could directly visit this IP address to login to the device.

There are two ways to get the address, one is DHCP, and the other is manual. To use DHCP, please ensure that the router or switch has enabled the DHCP service. This method is simple and convenient, but the IP obtained by DHCP changes continuously, and you cannot directly know what IP address the encoder gets.

To select manual IP address obtaining, you need to enter a fixed IP to the device, and this IP address is fixed as long as the device does not restore the factory settings, which is relatively stable. The automatic allocation is to automatically allocate an IP address according to the MAC address of the device. If the device needs to share the network with other devices, this method can avoid the problem of IP address conflicts, but the IP address allocation strategy needs to be maintained regularly. Manual assignment and automatic allocation both have their own advantages and disadvantages, depending on the specific requirements. Therefore, the choice between manual assignment and automatic allocation can be made based on the actual needs.

6.2.2 Advanced Settings

- HTTP/HTTP Setting

The default web service port is 80 (https port is 443). You can change it (range: 1-65535) accordingly. After revising the port, visit device configuration page. You need to add the changed port behind the device IP address before you visit. For example, the device normal login IP address is 192.168.1.168, change Web service port from 80 to 90, HTTPS service port from 443 to 450, then enter 192.168.1.168:90 or https://192.168.1.168:450 to visit device respectively.

By HTTPS, if the web browser prompts certificate errors which is caused by the browser certificate security authentication, you will need to add it to the safe list of the browser.

- Routing Strategy

The routing strategy is for routing release and reception. Its operation object is data package. According to the needs, the data packet transmission path can be changed according to a certain strategy. When the device is connected to multiple network links, the different data link can be sent according to the appointed network link through designated strategy, which improves the utilization efficiency of the link.

Note: It is required that professional person with knowledge of the current network routing

table or network to operate routing strategy. Incorrect configuration may cause device abnormal.

The NDI discovery server can replace NDI automatic discovery with a server, all NDI sources are registered to the server, and the receiving end obtains the NDI source from the server. Users can also configure this function to send the output video stream to the receiving end across network segments.

Use a computer (server) to log in to the NEWTEK official website (https://ndi.tv/sdk/) to download and install the NDI SDK. After installation, run Bin\Utilities\x64\NDI Discovery Service.exe in the installation directory.

The NDI encoder configures the receiving end IP address in the discovery server, and NDI will register to the server. It is recommended that the receiving end address be configured as a static IP address to prevent NDI connection loss caused by IP reassignment.

Click "Discovery Server" on the configuration page of the decoder, open the function, and set the discovery server address as the IP address of the computer (The one that open discovery server function). After saving the configuration, the receiving end can discover the NDI streams registered to the server.

Note: After enabling this function, the mDNS automatic discovery function is invalid. The video stream output by the encoder can only be sent to the specified server, and the receiver must register with the same discovery server to pull the NDI stream.

8.3 RTSP

The encoder can add one RTSP stream by default. As long as the RTSP stream is not being pulled and decoded, there will be no additional load on the encoder. As shown in the figure below, if the IP address of the encoder is 192.168.43.228, and the set service port is 554, then the stream address of the RTSP service is

rtsp://192.168.43.228:554/ch01.

Under the same LAN, the computer can pull the RTSP stream through VLC, test whether the encoding is normal and view parameter information. After installing and opening VLC, select "Network", then "Enter Network URL", you will enter an interface for entering the network URL, fill in the URL address of the encoder's RTSP service, and you can start playing.

Note: The URL cannot contain Chinese, the content needs to be copied completely, and the punctuation marks must not be missing.

8.4 RTMP Streaming (Live Streaming)

When using RTMP streaming, the user must first determine the platform that supports RTMP service, and the platform must be able to provide the RTMP stream address, otherwise the encoder cannot make the streaming.

Note: The principle of RTMP streaming is that it must be pushed from the encoder to the platform, and the computer/decoder then pulls the RTMP stream from the platform for playing. The encoder cannot directly push the RTMP stream to the computer/decoder for playing.

1) Push the stream to YouTube live broadcast platform.

First, register an account on the YouTube platform, log in to the YouTube webpage, click the Create button in the upper right corner of the webpage, select Go live, and the system will automatically jump to the Live Streaming setup page.

The first time you enable live streaming, you may need to wait 24 hours. Once enabled, you can go live immediately.

Note: There are two streaming codes that come out, and they must be combined to form a complete RTMP streaming address. The format is rtmp address/live code, and a "/" must be added after the rtmp address, and then the live code. There cannot be spaces in the address. The live broadcast code of the YouTube platform is constantly changing, so the next time you push the stream, you need to fill in the address again.

Click Select Stream Key and select Create New Stream Key, in the pop-up dialog box.

Enter a name and select RTMP for the streaming protoc YouTube automatically detects a stream's resolution and frame rate. Turn on manual settings to select your own.

After setting up on YouTube platform, you need to set up push stream on encoder side. Connect the encoder network and login to the encoder's management interface-streaming service, click "Add" button to add a streaming service, in the pop-up setting window type select RTMP, fill in the push streaming address on YouTube to the push address (the format of RTMP address is: rtmp address/live code), and then click "OK" on it. If the push stream is not successful, please check the encoder network.

Note: If the platform requires RTMPS streaming, the encoder also supports it. Enter the RTMP push parameter setting, write the URL in RTMPS format in the "push point"

2) RTMP Streaming to other platforms

If you need to push to other RTMP platforms, you must first obtain an RTMP stream

address, otherwise you cannot make the streaming. If you have any questions about obtaining the streaming address, you can contact the technical support of the live broadcast platform for help.

Note: Most of the live broadcast platforms only provide streaming URLs. You can push the video stream to the live broadcast platform through the encoder and watch it online through the platform website or by scanning the QR code on your mobile phone. If you need to pull the video stream of the live broadcast platform to the local, the platform needs to be able to provide the pull stream address, which can only be supported by some specific platforms.

8.5 SRT

1. Click the "Add" button to add an SRT stream in the streaming service on the home page.
2. Correctly fill the stream ID and port on the SRT stream settings, save the settings, and the encoder starts to push the SRT stream.

The streaming parameters of SRT are as follows (can be set according to the actual network conditions, in general, you can choose the default settings):

➢ Rendezvous: Caller, Listener and Rendezvous optional. In general, Caller mode and Listener mode are used. In LAN, Caller mode and Listener mode can be used in encoder and decoder. After one uses the Caller mode, the other end uses the Listener mode. In Internet transmission, the end with the public IP always uses the Listener mode.
➢ Public IP: Set the IP address of the receiver.
Name: The name displayed when the streaming service pushes.
➢ Listener Port: Set the listener port corresponding to the receiving end;
Latency: It is set based on the performance of the current network link. The Latency can be set at both ends of the SRT source device and the SRT target device. In the end, the larger of the two values will be taken as the SRT transmission delay.

Encryption Mode: Support AES-128 AES-192、AES-256.
SRT Streaming ID: SRT Streaming identification.
AES Key: Encryption key, fill in 10-32 characters of letters or numbers according to the encryption method.

Note: The SRT stream ID and AES key are not required options, and if they are required, the bonding information is also required at the decoder.

8.6 HLS Streaming

To use the HLS service of the encoder, you must first "add a streaming service". After adding it correctly, enter the setting interface of the streaming service. The parameters of the HLS service are relatively simple. If there are no special requirements, then there is no need to set them. Just enter the name and click OK to start the streaming service.

After starting the service, you can get a publishing point of the HLS server. With this stream address, you can use VLC and other decoding devices to decode and play.

8.7 TS-UDP Streaming (Unicast and Multicast)

Click “+” to add a stream service and selects “TS-UDP” as type.

The TS-UDP includes two ways: unicast and multicast. If use unicast, the "Target Address" is the IP address of the device that receives the TS stream, and the "Target Port" is a port that not conflict with the ports of other services, and the "Multicast TTL" does not need to be modified. Unicast can only be decoded and played at the target address. If use multicast, fill a correct multicast address (address range: 224.xxx \~ 239.xxx) in the "Target Address". "Target Port" is a port that not conflict with the ports of other services. For other parameters, if there is no special requirement, it is recommended to use the default.

Note: Multicast can only be decoded and played within the same network segment. Both the encoder and the player need to configure a gateway to decode and play multicast normally.

After the setting is complete, a URL address will be generated in the TS-UDP push bar, which can be decoded and played by decoding devices such as VLC. If the multicast is decoded and played on the computer, the computer needs to close the firewall, and the network needs to configure the gateway.

Note: When the URL obtained by the multicast push stream mode is udp://225.6.6.6:1234, if VLC Player is used to play, an @ symbol needs to be inserted in the URL to play normally, that is udp://@225.6.6.6:1234.
