5. Setup Guide

Follow these steps to set up your Wilxisum HDMI Encoder:

5.1 Basic Connection

1. Connect your HDMI video source (e.g., video camera, set-top box, SLR camera, Blu-Ray player) to the HDMI Input port on the encoder using an HDMI cable.
2. Connect a network cable from the encoder's LAN port to your router or network switch.
3. Connect the included power adapter to the DC12V port on the encoder and plug it into a power outlet. The Power LED should illuminate.
4. Ensure the HDMI LED illuminates, indicating a detected HDMI signal.

5.2 Initial IP Address Configuration

The HDMI encoder has a default IP address. If your network segment does not match the encoder's default IP, you will need to change the encoder's IP address. Refer to the detailed user manual (available for download) for specific methods to configure the IP address.

6. Operating Instructions

Access the encoder's web interface to configure streaming settings.

6.1 Accessing the Web Interface

1. Open a web browser on a computer connected to the same network as the encoder.
2. Enter the encoder's IP address into the browser's address bar. (Consult the full user manual for the default IP and login credentials).
3. Log in to the web interface.

6.2 Configuring Streaming Parameters

Within the web interface, navigate to the 'Encoder' section to adjust settings for the main and secondary streams.

Key configurable parameters include Encoding Type, Encoded Size, FPS, GOP, Bitrate, H.264 Level, Bitrate Control, and various streaming protocol URLs (TS, HLS, FLV, RTSP, RTMP/RTMPS). A field for pasting the RTMP streaming address is highlighted, along with an 'Apply' button to save changes.

• Encoding Type: Select H.264 or H.265.
• Encoded Size: Set the output resolution.
• FPS (Frames Per Second): Adjust the frame rate (max 30FPS).
• Bitrate: Configure the video bitrate (kbit/s).
• Streaming Protocols: Enable and configure the URLs for your desired streaming protocols (e.g., RTMP/RTMPS for YouTube, Facebook).
• Dual Stream Output: The encoder supports simultaneous output of a main stream and a substream. Each stream can be configured independently with different protocols and settings.

After making changes, click the Apply button to save your settings.

7. Troubleshooting

• No Video Output/HDMI LED Off: Ensure your HDMI source is active and providing a signal. Verify the HDMI cable connection. Remember, the encoder supports up to 1080P@30FPS; a 1080P@60FPS source may not be compatible.
• Cannot Access Web Interface: Check network cable connections. Verify that the encoder and your computer are on the same network segment. If not, you may need to temporarily adjust your computer's IP address to match the encoder's default segment to change its IP.
• Streaming Issues: Double-check all streaming URLs and keys in the web interface. Ensure your internet connection is stable and has sufficient upload bandwidth for your chosen bitrate.
• Encoder Overheating: Ensure the encoder is placed in a well-ventilated area. The device is designed for continuous operation but proper airflow is always recommended.
