Encoder Setup

To use iCap or Lexi and to access further features on the encoder's web interface, you must first select Network

Settings from the front panel LCD menu and set up the encoder on your network.

✔ Use a Static IP address on your network to assign the Encoder (recommended). It doesn't have to

be, and in most cases should not be, a publicly routable IP address.

✔ Program a gateway address – the gateway address is typically the local network address of your

router. This is necessary if you plan to connect out of your local network to iCap, Lexi, or any other

application from the iCap Encoder.

✔ Program a Subnet Mask for your network

✔ Important for Lexi use only: Program your network to allow outbound connections to

https://eegcloud.tv on port 443. Your encoder must also have a valid DNS server configured under

the Network tab on the web portal. See additional Lexi setup instructions on Page 6.

As an alternative to these recommended steps you may also set up the encoder for DHCP – Selecting DHCP

will automatically pull available IP, gateway, and subnet information from your network. IMPORTANT: With

DHCP, your encoder's assigned IP may change on its own which will affect how you access the web interface

for your encoder.

Put SDI video into the encoder. Output captions will appear on the SDI video output. Reference the Rear

Panel Diagram located in the Hardware Reference for a diagram of the rear-panel connector.

With video input connected to the encoder, you can send a stream of encoder-generated test captions to the

output video to ensure proper initial setup of the encoder. To send test captions navigate to Utilities > Test

Captions > Enable > On and a stream of test caption text should appear on the output of your encoder. Note

that video input is required to send test captions.
