Notes and Hints:
The Gigabit-Ethernet-port does not support PoE so please take care of not accidently using a
PoE switch- you can damage the port and the unit will be not accessible anymore.
We recommend to use an IGMP-V2/3 protocol capable GBE- Switch to avoid flooding your
network with unmanaged multicast streams. Also some consumer Internet routers do not like
Multicasts (UDP/RTP) and might reboot periodically.
An Internet-connection is not necessary as long as you need to use NTP and does not have an
own NTP server in your network.
Please asure that your HDMI –Output you like to encode is set to max. HD with 1080p60 or
lower. Higher values will not work.
The embedded Linux system takes some seconds to fully boot. After the System-LED is on, you
can connect your browser to it. We recommend Chrome, Opera, and Mozilla. For a preview
PopUp in the browser, a flash-player addon need to be installed for the browser.
Sometimes it is helpful to reload the browser – page to get the changed settings and values
because of different browser behaviours...
The RESET button will erase all your settings and the unit will be forced to start with factory
defaults. Use a thin wire to pass the small hole and press the inside button by it for at least 5-
10 seconds until the System LED will go off. The encoder would perform a restart than after
releasing the button.
The Web-Interface lookalike may vary between different Versions but basically its
selfexplaining.
The SDI versions supporting the first embedded Stereo-Audio-Pair to be encoded.
Setting up your PC/Laptop before connecting:
If you use a Windows based PC, you should assign its ethernet adapter into the same range
like the encoder: Use a static IP like follows:
1st: Open your network settings in System Menu:
