3.WEB UI Management There are 5 sections on Comix WEB UI, including Dashboard, Encode, Stream, System and Logout, allowing usersto setup and manage Comix encoder at any time. 3. 1 Dashboard Dashboard shows the system status: CPU and Memory usage, network data statistics of incoming and outgoing, HDMI inputs status.
3.2.1 Video Configuration Video Codec: supports H.264 / H.265 Profile: H.264 profile: baseline, main, high H.265 profile: main Video Size: Auto,640x360,640x480,704x576,720x480,720x576,1024x576,1280x720,1680x1056,1920x1080,2048x1152,256 0x1440,2560x1600,3840x2160 Auto means the encode size (output resolution) is same as the input. Frame Rate: 5 ~60 fps. If the input source is 4K_30fps, it is recommended to set the output frame rate to 30fps. For example, inputsource is 1080p_60hz, the output framerate is recommended to be 60fps or 30fps (same frame rate as the source or a half as the source).
Input/Source 480P 360P 240P Resolution 854 x 480 640 x 360 426x 240 Bitrate 500-2000 Kbps 400-1000 Kbps 300-700 Kbps Tips: 1) The smaller bitrate, the more compression on the video, which will lead to reduce video quality. 2) The bitrate setting should be based the network status, at least ensuring enough bandwidth to transmit the data.
Batch setting: Make the other 7 HDMI channels having the same setting with the HDMI-1. (Only the values in “Video Config” and Audio Config” are the same, the ones in “TS Config” will be incremental.) 3.3 Stream TBS2808 Comix 4K encodersupports HTTP, HLS(M3U8), RTSP, SRT, UDP/RTP unicast & multicast, RTMP/RTMPS output. 3.3.1 HTTP stream setting Enable: Activate RTSP stream.
“Save”: Store the settings. URL: Shows the completely IP Address for the HTTP stream. 3.3.2 RTSP stream setting Enable: Activate RTSP stream. Port: Set the port for HDMI 1. With RTSP protocol, the 8 HDMI channels can only use a same port Suffix: Set a name of the RTSP stream.
Unicast is the term used to describe communication where a piece of information is sent from one point to another point. In this case, there is just one sender and one receiver. Multicast is the term used to describe communication where a piece of information is sent from one or more points to a set of other points.
RTMP/RTMPS push URL syntax: (1)rtmp:// server:port/appname/playpath (2)rtmp://username:password@server:port/appname/playpath (3)rtmps:/xxx.xxx.xxx/stream_name/key_xxxxxxxx Examples: Youtube rtmp://a.rtmp.youtube.com/live2/2za0-4pgx-c7ha-xxxx-xxxx{stream_key} Twitch: rtmp://live-dfw.twitch.tv/app/xxxxxxxxx{stream_key} Wowza: rtmp://2012:Admin1998@media.xx-mediaserver.com:1935/8018/xxxxxx Facebook (requires RTMPS): rtmps://live-api-s.facebook.com:443/rtmp/xxxxxxxx {stream_key} 3.3.6 HLS Stream Setting Enable: Activate HLS(m3u8) stream. Suffix: Set a name for HLS stream. Port: Set the port for HDMI1. The other 7 HDMI channels will use the same port automatically. “Save”: Store the settings.
3.3.7 SRT Stream Setting Enable: Activate SRT stream. Modes: Supports Listener, Caller and Rendezvous. “Save”: Store the settings. URL: Shows the completely IP Address for the HLS stream. Listener: The "agent" can be contacted by any peer caller. Note that a listener can accept multiple callers, but srt-live-transmit does not use this ability;...

SRT supports 3 kinds of AES encrypted keys. The key length can be 16(AES-128), 24 (AES-192) or 32(AES-256). The passphrase can be set by any combination of letter (a~z, A~Z), number (0~9) and special characters (“!@#$%^&*?”).For example, you can set AES-16 to AbcD1234efgh%&#! The passphrase can be set manually or be created automatically by clicking “Generate”...
Gateway: Input the correct address to match local network. “Save”: Store the settings. 1) TBS2808 Comix encoder’s default static IP is 192.168.1.168.
