7. MJPEG Substream Operation Introduction
7.1 MJPEG Substream Preview/Configuration via Web Page
The product supports playing MJPEG Substream on computer through the corresponding software such as VLC media player, simultaneously you can access the Web page to configure the MJPEG Substream.
Follow the steps below to preview and configure the MJPEG Substream.
Step 1: Connect the Encoder, Decoder and PC to the same Switcher, then connect an HDMI source device and power supply. The connection diagram is shown as below.
- Blu-ray Player
- Power Adapter
- Encoder
- PC
- 1G Ethernet Switch
- Decoder
Step 2: Install a bonjour protocol checking tool (such as zeroconfService Browser) on PC to find the IP address of the Encoder/Decoder.
Take zeroconfServiceBrowser as an example. After opening the software, you can select “Workgroup Manager” in Services of Browser, select the Host name in Service-Instances, and find the IP address in the Address item in of Instance-Info.
Note:
(1) The window in the lower left corner displays the Host names of all devices in the current network.
(2) The window in the lower right corner displays the Host name, IP address and Port number of the device.
(3) The Host name of Encoder starts with AST-ENC; the Host name of Decoder starts with AST-DEC.
Step 3: Set the PC’s IP address to the same network segment with IP address of the Encoder/Decoder found in step 2.
Step 4: According to the IP address of the Encoder/Decoder found through the bonjour protocol checking tool, input “http://IP:PORT/?action=stream” into the web browser on PC. The MJPEG Substream will be displayed with the default resolution, as shown in the figure below.
Step 5: Change the resolution of the obtained Encoder/Decoder IP address in the following format.
http://IP:PORT/?action=stream&w=x&h=x&fps=x&bw=x&as=x&mq=x
- WIDTH: [Optional] image width. In pixels. ‘x’ means no change.
Default is 640. - HEIGHT: [Optional] image height. In pixels. ‘x’ means no change.
Default is 360. - FRAMERATE: [Optional] frame rate of sub-stream.
Unit: fps (frame per second). ‘x’ means no change. Default is 30. - BW: [Optional] maximum bandwidth of sub-stream traffic.
Unit: Kbps (Kbits per second). ‘x’ means no change. Default is 8000 (8Mbps). - AS: [Optional] aspect ratio configuration. ‘x’ means no change. Default is 0.
- 0: extend to what “WIDTH” and “HEIGHT” configured
- 1: [A1 only] keep original aspect ratio and place in the center of output (letterboxing or pillarboxing)
- MINQ: [Optional] minimum image quality number. Range: 10, 20, …, 90, 100, higher setting means better image quality. ‘x’ means no change. Default value is 10. Limit driver auto bandwidth control’s minimum quality number. If quality lower then MINQ value, the driver will drop frame by returning 0 size file.
After changing, input the new Encoder/Decoder IP address into the web browser on PC, the MJPEG Substream will be displayed with the desired resolution, as shown in the figure below.
7.2 VLC Media Player Instruction
Firstly, perform the step 1~3 as described in Chapter 7.1, then open the VLC media player on PC. Please see the following icon.

Note:
(1) For the default IP mode of Control LAN port of the Controller Box is DHCP, the PC also needs to be set to “Obtain an IP address automatically” mode, and a DHCP server (e.g. network router) is required in the system.
(2) If there is no DHCP server in the system, 192.168.0.225 will be used as the IP address of Control LAN port. You need to set the IP address of the PC to be in the same network segment. For example, set PC’s IP address as 192.168.0.88.
(3) You can access the Web GUI by inputting Control LAN port IP address (192.168.0.225) or URL “http://controller.local” on your computer’s browser.
(4) No need to care about settings of Video LAN port of the Controller Box, they are managed by Controller automatically (Default).
(5) When the Network Switch does not support PoE, the Encoder, Decoder and Controller Box should be powered by DC power adapter.
