User-manual SDI/HDMI - Encoder The config-settings-file is a Linux based text file named box.ini Do not modify that by a windows editor except you will use notepad++ (freeware – please google...). Windows has different CR/LF notation than Linux based TXT-files. Finally i.e.
User-manual SDI/HDMI - Encoder Status Display Input status: when you input the HD signal source, it will show resolution of video input, if it’s blank here: No video input detected . Main-stream Status: Showing the resolution of the main-stream you set and multicast address. You can control the multicast address by VLC or other Video receiving software supporting that.
User-manual SDI/HDMI - Encoder Second (Sub) stream Status: Showing the resolution of the second-stream and its configured address: Note: The Preview is only possible if already configured: Popup will appear but please set FLV or HLS streams as outputs first. And your browser should support that.
User-manual SDI/HDMI - Encoder b. If you don’t need to use a network cable, and when you reboot the device, it will access to WIFI status if it’s equipped with WIFI.

User-manual SDI/HDMI - Encoder Note: For TS URL, HLS URL, RTSP URL, the Network IP address of the device is the Unicast distribution address. You do not need to fill in this address by yourself because it is already related to the RJ45-Ethernet network IP. -264 version have Fast-Ethernet only.
User-manual SDI/HDMI - Encoder SYSTEM Settings: Compatibility with VLC or FFMPEG as well as some basics for TS PIDs can be set. Choose either UDP or RTP for all Multicast outputs. Blankom-Encoder-EN-V4-07-2020-RR.docx - 27 - RRI 25. August 2020...
