GETTING STARTED 

1. 

Set up inputs and outputs: 

a.  Connect one HD-SDI input to the BNC marked HD-SDI INPUT1 on the rear panel and the 

second input to the BNC marked HD-SDI INPUT2.  

 
b.  Connect  the  IP management Ethernet cable to  the CONTROL Ethernet port on the rear 

panel.  

 

c.  To access the encoders’ IP output, connect an Ethernet cable to the DATA MAIN Ethernet 

port on the rear panel. This can be connected to the decoder directly or via an Ethernet 
switch.  

 

2. 

Configure the encoder:  

a.  Verify that the computer is on the same control/management subnet as the encoder.  For 

example, if the encoder’s control/management IP address is 192.168.77.100, set the PC to 
192.168.77.xxx where xxx is user’s choice.  

 
b.  Open a web browser and navigate  to the Control IP address of the encoder, for example, 

192.168.77.100. 

 
c.  Let us assume that Profile 1 applies to encoder 1 and Profile 2 applies to encoder 2. Go to 

the Output tab and set the Transport Stream, TS, Bitrate and the Destination IP Address 
and Port for both profiles. For example, the Destination IP Address and Port can be 
239.79.0.100 and 1234. Unicast or multicast operation is strictly based on the destination IP 
address entered here. 

 
d.  Navigate  to the

  Encoder 

tab, select Profile 1 in the dedicated drop down box and set the 

desired Video Bit Rate in bits/second (for example, 10000 for 10Mbps) and the other 
encoding parameters listed in the interface. Click on 

“Save in Profile 1”

  button. Then 

select 

Profile 2

, set the encoding parameters for Profile 2 and click on 

“Save in Profile 2”

Note that parameters marked with a red star require the specific encoder  to be restarted. 
From the 

System 

tab, select the encoder from the drop down menu and select the 

Restart

 

button. 

 
e.  Navigate to the 

Inputs

 tab, select 

Profile 1

 in the dedicated drop down box and select the 

desired 

Video Standard

 and 

Display Aspect Ratio

, and any 

1 of 8 audio types

. Click on 

“Save in Profile 1” 

button. Select 

Profile 2,

  set the parameters and click on 

“Save in 

Profile 2”

 button. 

 
f.  Go to the 

Control

  tab. Both encoders can be activated by means of clicking on the 

“Activate All”

 button. It is also possible to activate one encoder at a time by clicking on the 

first of the three buttons on the left hand-side of the interface

. The two other buttons 

allow for the pausing and restarting of the encoder application
