Mantis Encoder
Operation & Notes
The Mantis does not deinterlace composite (CVBS) video. Some
devices, including iPhone6 (but not iPhone 5 or iPad) may not
display interlaced video. One work-around to this is to use
HDMI input with an external composite-to-HDMI converter.
When Mantis is set to HLS, the viewing URL is:
http://[username]:[password]@[IP]/hls/live.m3u8. You can view
this directly on most SmartPhones and Tablets.
When Mantis is set to RTMP, the viewing URL is:
rtmp://[IP]/live/Mantis (case sensitive). This can be viewed in the
Discover Video player, 3
rd
party players, and can be pulled in to
DEVOS via Advanced/Pull function.
When Mantis is set to RTSP, the viewing URL is:
rtsp://[IP:8000]/live (case sensitive). The port cannot be changed.
When Mantis is set to RAW UDP, the stream can be viewed
using VLC player using udp://@[IP]:[Port].
If viewing directly from Mantis via HLS or RTMP, only one
simultaneous viewer is recommended (although several
simultaneous viewers may be possible).
To conduct Upload After Record, you must first connect to FTP
server by selecting the “connect” button.
After recording, you may select the USB icon to show all files on
the recording media. Right-click on a file to download it to your
computer. You can then edit the video, upload it DEVOS, Arcus,
etc.
Be sure to use a high capacity USB storage device, such as a
“Passport”, “Verbatum” or similar flash/disk device. Small
“Thumb Drives” will work, but recording video at high bit rate
creates large files and you will want to be sure you have enough
space! Storage device must be formatted for FAT32.
If Mantis becomes unresponsive, you can restore the product to
factory configuration by inserting USB with the reset code on it
and cycling the power. This software can be downloaded from
