Page 29: Easy First Time Set Up
You should read all instructions, notices, and warnings in the Before You Begin section prior to getting started with your new Niagara 4100 hardware for the first time. Also, ensure you have all required parts and meet all system requirements before installing this product.
Page 30: Performing The Initial Startup
Performing the initial startup The first time you power up the Niagara 4100, a series of menus appear on the LCD display that will assist you in setting up the system clock, date, and video input format (NTSC (North America/Japan) or PAL).
Page 31: Connecting To An Ip Network
Connecting to an IP network The Niagara 4100 network settings for its network interfaces default to dynamically obtain an IP address from a DHCP server on the network. If a DHCP server is not available or is not found on the network, then Niagara 4100 assigns its own IP address.

You may customize your encoder settings and assign specific encoder profiles using the front panel. Starting up If this is the first time you are using the Niagara 4100, refer to the Performing the initial startup section before continuing. To start up: Press Power .
Page 36: Shutting Down
Shutting down Allow the Niagara 4100 to power down normally. If you force the system to shut down improperly, your data can be corrupted. If so, the next time you start the system it can take several minutes to complete startup.
Page 37: Starting An Encoder
Repeat this method to start streaming multiple encoders at the same time. WARNING! There is a limit to how many encoders the Niagara 4100 can stream at one time. If you exceed this limit, the streams will drop frames and the video will appear to stutter resulting in a poor viewer experience.
Page 38 After the encoder session has successfully begun, the LCD display returns to the previous display of available encoders. The screen will indicate that the encoder profile you selected has begun encoding. The video detection light illuminates when the system detects that a video source is connected to its video input.

Page 161: Appendix A: Drm For Windows Media
Niagara 4100 User Guide Appendix A: DRM for Windows Media You can protect your content using a technology called Digital Rights Management (DRM). Niagara SCX allows you to encrypt your content with DRM technology while you are encoding. You can apply DRM while encoding to a file and when broadcasting a stream.
Page 162: Importing A Drm Profile
Windows Media Encoder is included in Niagara streaming media systems that have Niagara SCX version 5.0 or later installed. To access the desktop of the Niagara 4100, attach a keyboard, a mouse, and a monitor to the system. If the system is installed in a location that does not provide physical access, you can use Windows Remote Desktop Connection to access the desktop.
Page 163 Figure 178. General tab 6. In the User Name field, type niagara. 7. In the Password field, type password to connect the Niagara 4100 using remote desktop. WARNING! When exiting from Remote Desktop Connection, do not log off. Instead, exit/close the session from the Niagara 4100. This step allows its internal programs to continue running.
Page 164 8. Copy the DRM profiles to a protected location on the encoding system to ensure they are not accidentally removed or erased (Figure 179). Note: ViewCast recommends you create a new directory on drive D on the Niagara 4100 and use this directory to store your DRM profiles.
