Login and network configuration

Default IP address

The failsafe IP address is 192.168.1.168, subnet mask is 255.255.255.0
Normally, you don't need to modify this IP address.

Login the Web console

If login for the first time, please use Failsafe IP address
You can access http://192.168.1.168, to login the web console.
The default Username: admin ; Password: admin.

IP address configuration

After login, you can configure the IP according to the network, the IP will be use for pulling stream and device management. You can configure it to manually set the IP or DHCP.

Video output setting

The device has two different output windows, which can output two different or same contents for SDI and DVI/HDMI/VGA.

You only need to drag the added video source to the corresponding output windows, then the decoder starts decoding.

Decoding mode settings

Users could choose to output SDI/DVI/HDMI/VGA (HDMI compatible with DVI mode) to one screen or multi-screen on Media. Multi-Decoder supports up to 4 CH The maximum is four-screen.

It supports H.264 decoding, up to 4 CH video decoding simultaneously (4 CH 1080p30 or 2 CH 1080p60 and below).

DVI/HDMI output settings

(HDMI connection needs one DVI to HDMI adapter)

Click HDMI (HDMI compatible with DVI) on either of the windows, the front dot then turns to green, which means the contents here will decode and output to DVI/HDMI interface.

SDI output settings

SDI is an independent interface. Click SDI on either of the windows, the front dot then turns to green, which means the contents here will decode and output to SDI interface.

VGA output settings

(VGA connection needs one DVI to VGA adapter)

Click VGA on either of the windows, the front dot then turns to green, which means the contents here will decode and output to VGA interface.

NOTE:
One output interface can only be chosen in one output window, cannot output the contents of two windows to one interface simultaneously. If choose SDI and HDMI on one window at the same time, the two interfaces will output the same contents.

Decoding buffer and delay

For a variety of different application scenarios and networks, to balance of delay and fluency of the decoding, the device provides a variety of buffering strategies for users to choose.

Zero buffer, 50ms, 120ms, 200ms, 500ms, 1s are optional. Users can choose on actual network conditions, good network with lower latency, and bad network with higher latency.

Video source

Video sources list

The list displays all the video sources and sources parameters information that you added, not all sources are under decoding status. If request decoding output, drag it to the output area. When video source display is green, "display/pushing" is working.
