1 Device connection
1.1 Connect video signal
(1) Connect SDI signal
Connect SDI signal to corresponding NC1S-SDI-3G SDI input port through the
corresponding cable from the signal source (such as camera or other SDI
devices).
To improve signal quality and ensure the effective transmission distance of SDI
signal, please use high quality SDI coax. Inferior coax may seriously cause the
signal quality, like snow, streaking, smear, blurring, or worse, no signal input.
1.2 Connect internet
Connect one end of the network cable to the encoder Ethernet interface. The
other end is connected to the network switch, or the computer's Ethernet port.
Please note: When using the common network cable directly to the computer's
network port, the port should have automatic transfer function. Otherwise, please
use a crossover cable to connect.
1.3 Connect analog audio input/output (option)
Audio input/output interface is 3.5mm analogy audio.
1.4 Connect the power adapter
Using the power adapter (DC12V1A) connect to the main product, after the power is
turned on, then the product starts working immediately.

3 Device Configuration and Management
3.1 Factory default IP address
Encoder default IP address is 192.168.1.168, net Mask is 255.255.255.0. You can
log in WEB management interface to change the address.
3.2 Log in management interface via WEB browser
Before log in NC1S-SDI-3G Web management interface, please ensure that the
following network conditions are connected:
Your computer is connected with encoder correctly;
Insure your computer IP address and the IP address of the encoder in
same network segment;
Try using PING and other network testing tools to identify and insure to be
communicated with the encoder based on TCP / IP protocol.
After reaching the above conditions, use a Web browser to access the following
address:
http://<device IP address>
For example, if the factory default IP address is 192.168.1.168，then access the
following address：http://192.168.1.168, then the authentication dialog box will
appears.
Default log in name is admin, and default password is admin.

After switching the audio source, the encoder will quickly reset (currently connected
decoder will be disconnected), this process takes about three seconds.
3.5 Decoder/video decoder software connect the encoder
The encoder uses the standard of RTSP Media Transfer Protocol to transmit
the encoded video and audio, the products which support the standard RTSP
transport protocol and which support H.264 decoding (such as the company's
KV-DC series decoders, PC client software) all can be connected to the
encoder device and obtain the encoded video and audio.
How does the RTSP of encoder visit URL:
Main streaming:
rtsp://<encoder address>/ch01
(For example：rtsp://192.168.1.168/ch01) Secondary streaming：
rtsp://< encoder address >/sub01
(For example：rtsp://192.168.1.168/sub01)
ch01, sub01 is RTSP session ID (Session ID).
If the encoder involves firewall / NAT traversal issues, please refer to 7.8 firewall
/ NAT traversal setup instructions. If the encoder set the mapping on the firewall
/ NAT port, then the RTSP of encoder access URL is:
Main streaming:
rtsp://<firewall/NAT device’s public network address>:<RTSP mapping
port>/ch01
(for example：rtsp://211.0.0.1:554/ch01)
Sub streaming:
rtsp://<firewall/NAT device’s public network address>:<RTSP mapping

port>/sub01
(for example：rtsp://211.0.0.1:554/sub01)
RTSP supports media capture, parameter setting and PTZ remote control.
3.6 Restore factory settings
Restore factory settings two methods:
1. Via the WEB interface, "Basic Setup > restore factory settings" function;
2. Through RESET button:
Pressing on RESET button for 3 seconds, device will restore factory settings.
Restoring factory setting will lead to the device hard restart, restarting course
will last 1 minute.
After restoring factory settings, below parameters will be changed as default
value:
* Log in will be still as admin;
* Network address capture way is restored as manual capture;
* IP address will be still 192.168.1.168, subnet mask will be 255.255.255.0;
* All video, audio encoding parameters will be restored as default value;
* RTSP setting will be restored as default value.
lick on the “Delete user” icon“ ”in user interface list, you can delete the user.
3.7 Firmware upgrading
The encoder supports online firmware upgrade，use for updating the software
version .
Via the WEB management interface, "Basic Setup> update
firmware/software", you can online upload the firmware upgrade file which
provide by the manufacturer.

Kindly noted:
1. The speed of firmware upgrades file upload is slow, please be patient.
2. After uploading firmware file successfully, the encoder will automatically
restarts the encoder, this process will takes about 1-2 minutes (the time will
be different according to upgrade content), and please be patient.
3. Please do not upload the unofficial release of the firmware upgrade file, or
other illegal files, in order to avoid permanent damage the encoder.
4. After the upgrade is complete, via the WEB interface "system
information>version information" to check whether the latest version
information in accordance with expectations, and confirm the upgrade is
successful.
3.8 Network Configuration
Via the WEB management interface function "Network Settings>Network
Parameters", you can configure the encoder IP address and related network
parameters.

Note: After setting the address obtains way is "DHCP dynamic obtain", please
manually restart the encoder to update the DHCP address obtain.
3.9 Quick Reset
"Quick Reset" is quickly reset the video encoding function of encoder. When
the video signal instability or improper parameter setting cause the encoder
does not work, try to set the device quickly reset. The quickly reset probably
need to wait three seconds or so.
3.10 Reboot
“Reboot” is for encoder performs a warm reboot, when the encoder still does
not work after quick reset, please try to reboot the device. Device reboot last
