  • Page 5: General Description

    1.0 GENERAL DESCRIPTION The DME-10J encoder is a cost-optimized, compact 146 x 115 mm system that allows HEVC/H.265 encode of HD video (up to 1080i) through SDI input. It allows users to quickly stream video to the web or internal clients/PCs via RTSP or TSRTP.

  • Page 6: Quick Start Guide

    You can update the firmware via the HTTP-based user interface (GUI) by following the instructions in Section 7.4 “Making a Firmware Update” on page 25.

    In the “Open Media” box, type “rtsp://{IP Address}/z3-{ch #}{m}.mp4”, where {IP Address} is the IP address of the DME-10J noted previously, {ch #} is 1 for CH1, and {m} is added if a multicast address is being streamed. For example, if the IP address of the DME-10J is 192.168.0.120, encode is being done from CH1, and unicast streaming is being done, the user would type in “rtsp://192.168.0.120 /z3-1.mp4”.

  • Page 15: Tuning For Latency

    DOC-USR-0112-02 Tuning for Latency In general, streaming using RTP will result in lower latency than streaming using TS. If streaming to the VLC media player, latency can be reduced on the decode side by adjusting the network caching value. By default, this is set to 1000ms. You can lower this to as low as 200ms. To do this, go to the following: VLC →...

  • Page 22: Using A Static Ip Address

    DOC-USR-0112-02 Using a Static IP Address The encoder supports DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol). This is enabled by default, allowing the encoder to dynamically receive an IP address at startup. The IP address that is assigned can be seen through using ZFinder. If you prefer, you can set your encoder to a static IP address. If you would like to have your PC set to a static IP address, you will need to set your encoder to a static IP address as well in order for it to be discoverable by ZFinder.
