1. CEV-2K Introduction The CEV-2K is a mini wired HDMI encoder that supports high-definition (HD) video transmission. It supports HDMI input resolution up to 1080p@60Hz and encoding output resolution up to 1080p@60Hz at bitrate up to 16Mbps with H.264/H.265 compression. It supports the high-performance encoding of network streams with various protocols including SRT/ RTSP/RTMP/UDP.
CEV-2K provides professional solutions for people to live streaming online, making it safer, more efficient and professional. The schematic diagram of CEV-2K live streaming application is shown in Figure 1 below.

9.4 Video Setting The CEV-2K supports dual stream outputs. The primary stream supports maximum of 1920*1080@60Hz 16M encoding output, and the secondary stream supports maximum of 1280*720@30Hz 8M encoding output. The secondary stream is disabled by default. To enable it, please click the Video icon on the left menu to load Video page, and put Secondary Stream toggle on the “ON”...
the secondary stream. On the Video page, click Primary Stream or Secondary Stream to enter the primary stream or secondary stream video setting interface, where you can modify the encoding streams parameters, and set up custom text or image OSD labels. Click Apply to complete the corresponding Video parameter settings.
adjust it appropriately according to the network environment to balance the clarity and smoothness of the video quality. 6. Output Resolution: Video encoding output resolution. The primary stream supports up to 1920*1080 encoding output, and the secondary stream supports up to 1280*720 encoding output.

3) Location X/ Location Y: Adjust the displayed position coordinates of the text label. The X/ Y coordinate values are the position of the first character of text OSD label. For example, the TEXT content is DDMALL, and X/Y coordinates are set to [700,500], that is the position where the first character "D" is displayed.
6) Click Apply, the webpage prompts “Change setting Successfully”, it means the setting is successful and the parameters take effect. 2. Image OSD Setting (Picture) Figure 18 1) Enabled/Disabled: Enable or disable the image OSD label, if Enable is checked, the image OSD label will be displayed on the video screen, if Disable is checked, the label will not be displayed.
Gateway/ DNS will be automatically assigned by the DHCP server (such as the connected router) on the same local area network of CEV-2K. You can log in to management interface of the router to check the assigned IP address of CEV-2K.

Server URL and Stream Key. 3. Log in to CEV-2K web UI, click RTMP icon on the left menu to load the RTMP page, paste the Server URL and Stream Key provided by the streaming platform to the Server URL and Stream Key section on RTMP page, and click Start to start the live streaming.
5) Authentication: Enable or disable the stream authentication. If the streaming platform requires stream authentication settings, please enable the RTMP authentication of CEV-2K, enter the authentication user name and password provided by the platform. Figure 25 6) Status: The connection status of the RTMP live streaming.

4. Copy and paste the Stream URL and Stream key of YouTube into the Stream URL and Stream key columns of CEV-2K. For example, fill in the Stream URL and Stream key under RTMP/Primary Stream, that is, the RTMP streaming of primary stream is used.
The encoder CEV-2K can be modified to RTSP unicast, RTSP multicast, UDP unicast, UDP multicast or SRT according to application needs. For the operation of switching streaming protocol, please refer to 9.8.3 System/Stream...
9.7.1 RTSP Figure 35 1. Stream Protocol: Select RTSP. 2. URL1 Port: The default Primary stream port is 8554, and the default Secondary stream port is 8553. Users can customize the ports with range of 1-65535, it is recommended to use the default values.
Page 26
Figure 36 5. Multicast: It is disabled in RTSP unicast, and please enable it if you need to transmit video by RTSP Multicast. RTSP multicast IP, multicast port and TTL can be modified according to application needs. It is recommended to use the default values. Figure 37 Note: 1) RTSP unicast supports to pull 8 streams at most simultaneously.
Page 27
3) RTSP multicast URL is the same as RTSP unicast URL, and the IP value in the URL is still the IP address of the encoder. 6. Click "Start" after completing the parameter settings to start video streaming with the configured parameters.
Figure 39 9.7.2 UDP Figure 40 1. Stream Protocol: Select UDP 2. Destination IP: If a Multicast IP (range 224.0.0.0~239.255.255.255) is filled in, then use UDP Multicast to transmit videos, and all decoders within this multicast address can receive the video stream.

Figure 54 Note: If you have changed the username and password for logging into the CEV-2K Web UI, please remember the new username and password. If you forget the new user name and password you set, please press and hold the reset button for about 10s with a pin in the package and release it when the indicator light flashes green to reset the device to factory settings, and then use the default user name and password to log in to web UI.
10.2 Unable to Log in to the CEV-2K Web UI after Modifying the Encoder IP Address 1. Ensure that the network connection of CEV-2K is normal and that it is in the same LAN as the control terminal (PC, notebook, iPad, etc.).
HDMI cable to check whether it is caused by a cable issue. 4) Check whether CEV-2K is powered by USB. If not, please use a DC 5V/1A USB cable to supply power. If it is already powered by USB, please replace the USB cable and power adapter to check whether it is caused by abnormal power supply.
10.4 There is no Image Output When the Decoder Play the CEV-2K Video 1. Please log in to CEV-2K web UI and check whether the input preview and Video input on the Status page are normal. 1) The input signal can be previewed, indicating that the CEV-2K input signal is normal.
