4. Setup Instructions

Follow these steps to set up your ORIVISION ZY-EHV1401 encoder.

4.1 Basic Connection

1. Connect Video Source:
   • For HDMI input: Connect your HDMI source (e.g., camera, PC) to the HDMI Input port using an HDMI cable.
   • For VGA input: Connect your VGA source to the VGA Input port using a VGA cable.
2. Connect Audio Source (Optional): If using analog audio, connect your audio source to the Audio Input (3.5mm jack).
3. Connect Network: Connect an Ethernet cable from the LAN port of the encoder to your network router or switch.
4. Connect Display (Optional Loop Out):
   • For HDMI loop out: Connect a display to the HDMI Output port using an HDMI cable.
   • For VGA loop out: Connect a display to the VGA Output port using a VGA cable.
5. Power On: Connect the 12V/DC power adapter to the device and plug it into a power outlet. The PWR indicator should light up.

4.2 Network Configuration (Automatic IP)

The device supports DHCP for automatic IP address assignment. If your network has a DHCP server, the encoder will obtain an IP address automatically.

To enable DHCP, access the web control interface (see Section 5.1) and navigate to the Network settings. Select "Enable" for DHCP and apply the changes.

4.3 Application Diagram

The following diagram illustrates a typical setup for the ORIVISION HDMI+VGA Encoder in a live streaming environment.

This diagram shows how the encoder can take audio/video input from various sources (PC, Camera, Monitor, UAV), provide a local loop out to a display, and stream encoded video over the internet to live platforms or to ORIVISION Video Decoders and NVR systems.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Web Control Interface

The encoder is managed via a web-based interface. To access it:

1. Ensure the encoder is connected to your network and powered on.
2. Open a web browser on a computer connected to the same network.
3. Enter the encoder's IP address in the browser's address bar. (If DHCP is enabled, you may need to use a network scanner to find the assigned IP, or check your router's connected devices list).
4. Log in using the provided credentials (default username/password should be in a separate quick start guide or on the device label).

The web interface supports both English and Chinese languages and allows for configuration of various settings, including video/audio encoding, streaming protocols, and system upgrades.

5.2 Video Input and Resolution Settings

The encoder supports adaptive selection for HDMI or VGA input. You can configure the input and output resolutions through the web interface.

The maximum input resolution is 1080P@60Hz, and the maximum output resolution is also 1080P@60Hz. Resolutions can be set independently for input and output.

The encoder supports various signal input formats including HDMI, VGA, SDI, HD-SDI, 3G-SDI, and CVBS.

5.3 Audio Encoding

The device supports AAC/G711 audio encoding formats. Audio can be encoded separately, and it supports both digital and analog audio loop out.
