Quick Start

Connection Diagram

Power on encoder and connect it to router via ethernet cable

NOTE: At the very beginning, it's strongly recommended to follow this instructions to connect the encoder, especially for network segment issues. If it's failed to be discovered by Device Manager, please refer to Failure of Detection or Upgrading which might be helpful.

Download & Run

Download Device Manager

Download Device Manager from the following link: EncDeviceTool V1.05.

NOTE: Windows Available ONLY at this moment. MAC Under Planning. For details, please refer to Device Manager.

Run Device Manager

• Open the file folder of EncDevice;
• Double click "EncDeviceTool.exe" and then it will work

Configure IP

Configure IP via Device Manager

• Open the file folder of EncDevice
• Double click "EncDeviceTool.exe" and then it will work
• Click "Refresh" -->Enter username and password at the right bottom side;
• Select the device-->Enter Start IP & IP Gateway-->Click "Modify"

Video Tutorial of IP Configuration

• Go to CMD->ipconfig/all-->Check the IP of your PC like 192.168.X.7;
• Go to Device Managaer-->Manually enter the IP like 192.168.X.129
• Then go to check whether it's accessible or not now.

Access Encoder

Access Encoder from a Browser

• Start a browser like IE, Chrome, Firefox (Chrome Recommended);
• Enter the IP address you configured above via Device Manager;
• Enter username (admin) and password (12345 by default);
• Click “Login” and the Preview page opens in your browser

Configure Video

Configure Parameters of Video

• Go to Setting-->Video/Audio-->Video
• Key Interval set as 10(Reference Value)
• Bitrate set as 500(Reference Value)

• Tips: At the every beginning, it's strongly recommended for you to use the reference values to start streaming because much more uplink bandwidth will be consumpted. Or else it might affect the effect of pushing.

Configure RTMP

Configure PUSH URL of RTMP

• Go to Setting-->Push-->RTMP-->Check the checkbox of Enable
• Enter Push URL: copy Stream URL and Stream Key from YouTube Studio into column of Push URL below

Check YouTube Studio

Go back to YouTube Studio after setting RTMP PUSH URL. After setting the RTMP PUSH URL for live streaming to YouTube, you can check if the stream is live in YouTube Studio. If the stream appears to have failed, consider the following steps for troubleshooting:
Check DNS Settings: Ensure that the DNS settings for your network and the streaming device are configured correctly. The Domain Name System (DNS) translates domain names to IP addresses, so if there are issues with DNS resolution, it can affect the ability to reach the streaming server.

• Verify HDMI Signal: Confirm that the HDMI signal from the video source (e.g., a camera or encoder) is detected and properly configured for streaming. Issues with the HDMI signal can affect the quality and availability of the video stream.
• Enable AAC: Ensure that the AAC audio encoding is enabled by default. Enabling AAC as the audio codec by default is important for ensuring compatibility with YouTube's streaming platform and requirements because YouTube's streaming requirements include the use of AAC as the audio codec for live video streaming.
• Adjust Bitrate: If the uploading bandwidth is insufficient for the selected bitrate, consider reducing the bitrate to a lower level (e.g. 500) that matches the available bandwidth. Lowering the bitrate can help ensure a stable and consistent stream, especially if the network conditions are limiting the available bandwidth.

After performing these checks and adjustments, you can attempt to go back to YouTube Studio and verify if the live stream is successful. It's important to review the settings and configurations to ensure that all components are optimized for live streaming to YouTube.
