From any SDI/HDMI input sources, the Datavideo's video streaming server generates an H.264 encoded stream that is compliant with RTSP or RTMP(S) protocols. While encoding the video at bit rates appropriate for live streaming, the Datavideo NVS-31 concurrently records a high-quality MP4 file to an SD card. Note: The built-in video streaming server and recording device are referred to as NVS-31. 6.1 Streaming Network Connection and Device Search This section details how to connect the NVS-31 to a network with or without a DHCP server, and describes how to acquire the NVS-31's IP address. Connecting to a DHCP Network (DHCP Mode) Follow the following procedure to scan your DHCP network for connected NVS-31 devices. Note: The NVS-31 will be automatically assigned an IP address upon connection to the DHCP network. 1. Connect the NVS-31's stream port to the network via an Ethernet cable. 2. Turn on the HS-1600T's power and the NVS-31 will also be turned ON in the DHCP mode by default. 3. Connect the laptop to the same network that the NVS-31 is connected to and download the free IP Finder utility program. 4. Double click the IP Finder utility program icon to open the IP Finder interface. 5. Click the SCAN button to start searching for connected devices. Connecting to a NON-DHCP Network (Static IP) Upon connection to a non-DHCP network, the NVS-31 will not be assigned of any IP addresses. As such it is recommended that you manually assign a fixed IP address to the device or use the default IP address (192.168.1.60). 38 Default Fixed IP Default Fixed IP is primarily used in point-to-point connection, such as connecting the PC to the NVS31 directly. In a non-DHCP environment, the NVS-31 works in fixed IP mode only. To configure the NVS-31 to the default IP, please follow the steps outlined below: 1. Connect the NVS-31's stream port to the network via an Ethernet cable. 2. Turn on the HS-1600T's power and the NVS-31 will also be turned ON in the DHCP mode by default. 3. Search for the NVS-31 device according to the method as detailed in the previous DHCP section. Once found, log into the user interface on the web browser. 4. Enter the system page by clicking the "System" tab on the home of the user interface. 5. In the "Network Setting", disable the DHCP mode. 6. You will then be allowed to manually enter the static IP address once the DHCP mode is disabled. The static IP is 192.168.1.60 by default. The subnet mask and default gateway are 255.255.255.0 and 192.168.1.254 respectively. Tip: If you forget or lose the IP address, do the following to reset the network settings. Turn off the switcher. Press the RECORD and STREAM buttons at the same time then turn ON the power of the switcher Wait for about five seconds and release the button push as soon as you see the RECORD and STREAM button LEDs light up. The IP address should be the default IP which is 192.168.1.30. Troubleshooting the Network Connection Connect the NVS-31 to the network and open the IP Finder utility program. Scan for the device. If not found, it is possible that your network is not assigning IP addresses. Reasons of this are outlined as follows: Router or DHCP server is not connected to the network. New devices are blocked by the network administrator. Anti-virus software or the firewall blocks the communication. Solve the problem by trying the following: Turn off the router, wait for 10 seconds then turn on the router again. Reset the NVS-31 to the factory default: - Turn off the switcher. - Push the Record and Stream buttons simultaneously while turning on the switcher's power. - Wait for about five seconds and release the button push as soon as you see the RECORD and STREAM button LEDs light up. Reboot the PC. If the problem still persists, try the following ways: 39 Temporarily shut down the anti-virus software or firewall. Make sure no other devices are connected to the LAN (wired or wireless) because this may result in IP conflicts. After trying all methods and if the problem is still not solved, the NVS-31 video streaming server offers the fixed IP feature that allows you to establish direct connection to the NVS-31. The default IP address is 192.168.1.60. This method allows you to configure the NVS device to the IP range of your network so that you do not need a DHCP server to gain access to the NVS device. Connect your PC to the NVS device directly using an Ethernet cable (not necessarily a crossover cable). Next, change the network settings of your PC or laptop. Click START located at the bottom left corner of your screen. On the text bar, enter Network Connections then click the icon that appears. Double click the network adapter that connects your PC or laptop to the network. Click the "Properties" button. Select "Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)" option and click the "Properties" button. Check the "Obtain an IP address automatically" option. Enter IPv4 settings: - IP Address: 192.168.1.2 - Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 (System default is 255.255.255.0) - Default Gateway: Not required for one-to-one connection. Note: Please write down the IPv4 address previously entered as it may be needed after you are done with streaming or recording. 40 The NVS-31 should now be connected with an IP address of 192.168.1.60. If the NVS-31 still cannot connect, simply restore the NVS-31 to the factory defaults. - Turn off the switcher. - Push the Record and Stream buttons simultaneously while turning on the switcher's power. - Wait for about five seconds and release the button push as soon as you see the RECORD and STREAM button LEDs light up. - Make sure no other devices are connected to the LAN (wired or wireless) because this may result in IP conflicts. Login the NVS-31 via a web browser. - Default user name is admin - Default password is 000000 Click the "System" tab then on the system page, enter network settings such as static IP and default gateway. Make sure that the default gateway matches your connected network and no device shares the same IP as the NVS-31. For example, if your router's default gateway IP is 10.10.1.1, then in the default gateway field, you should also enter 10.10.1.1. Then set the IP address of the NVS-31 to 10.10.1.X, which can range from 10.10.1.2 to 10.10.1.255. Pick an unused IP address. DHCPDisable Static IPX.X.X.Ythe first three decimal numbers must be the same as your router or switch. The number Y must be a number not used by any devices connected to the network. Subnet Mask255.255.255.0 Default GatewayZ.Z.Z.Zsame as the gateway IP of your router or switch. Note: Some router may require special gateway IP setting; instead of the standard 192.168.1.1. Therefore, you should check the network properties on the PC before switching to the fixed IP mode. 41 For example, some routers have a gateway IP of 192.168.1.254 and as a result, the default gateway and primary DNS fields on the NVS-31 must also be configured to 192.168.1.254. Primary DNS: Same as the default gateway IP, which, if causing issues, can be changed to 8.8.8.8 or 8.8.8.4 (Public DNS provided by Google). Click the "Submit" button to save the network settings. Reconnect the PC and the NVS-31 to the network. Restore the PC's original network settings. Shut down the HS-1600T; wait for approximately five seconds before turning the HS-1600T back ON. You should be able to access the NVS-31 through the fixed IP address. Advanced Troubleshooting If you still are unable to connect, please try the following: Use the ARP table to search for the encoder's MAC address; the device's MAC address is on the print label at the bottom of your HS switcher. MAC address starts with 00:07:36:03:xx:xx. - Switcher's MAC address starts with 00:07:36:07:xx:xx (HS-1600T and HS-1600T only) On the command prompt (terminal on MAC OS), enter "arp -a" then press enter key to display an ARP list. See if the NVS-31 is successfully connected to the network. Execute services.mscand on the right column of the "Services" window, locate "DHCP Client" then click "Restart". On the command prompt, enter ipconfig/flushdns followed by ipconfig/release and ipconfig/renew. 6.2 Web User Interface By now, we have obtained the IP addresses of the PC and the NVS-31. Enter the NVS-31's IP address into the address bar of a browser then hit the ENTER button. Login by entering the user name as well as the password into a pop-up dialogue box as shown below. Username: admin Password: 000000 Click OK to login. Once logged in, the first page that appears will be the Status page. 42 Status You will see the Status page immediately after logging into the NVS-31 web UI. On the Status page, you will be able to view the Operation Mode, Video Resolution, Stream Settings (RTSP/RTMP(S)/HLS/SRT/TS), Record Settings, Record Media and Messages. Note: The NVS-31 web UI is not updated in real time so it is not synchronized with the device status.

Note: You are allowed to switch between different bitrate modes by pressing the Bitrate button on the Record/Stream panel. See section 6.4 for details. Auto Stream If the Auto Stream is enabled, in the event of power outage, the stream will be automatically restored after the switcher is powered ON again. Resolution The first step of encoder setup is to adjust the image size. It is best to either match your original video source or scale it down. For example, capture at HD 720 and stream at HD 720. Or capture at HD 720 and stream at 540 (high). You should never be scaling up and streaming at a higher resolution than your original video source. For example, it does not make sense to capture at 720 and stream at 1080. Note that you will also have no gain in quality and you are using more bandwidth than is necessary for your viewers. You should also be aware that higher resolutions require greater processing power to encode the stream. Attempting too high of a resolution on too little processing power can result in degraded image quality and corrupted or interrupted streams or recordings. Frame Rate Select a frame rate from the drop-down menu for video streaming. Note that frame rates should always match the frame rate of the video source. 47 Profile Profile sets the H.264 encoding profile for your stream. The available options are Baseline, Main, and High. Typically, High profile provides the best image quality and is suitable in most instances. However, depending on the decoder used when viewing the stream, such as with mobiles devices, a Main or Baseline profile may be required. Video Bitrate (bps) The bitrate of the video specifies the amount of information stored in the video. The higher the bitrate is, the clearer the video is. However, when choosing your encoding settings for streaming, you should first check your available upload bandwidth. A good rule of thumb is for the bitrate of your stream to use no more than 50% of your available upload bandwidth capacity on a DEDICATED line. For example, if the result you get from a speed test shows that you have 2Mbps of upload speed available, your combined audio and video bitrate should not exceed 1Mbps. Usually high bitrate means good image quality; however, there are also exceptions. For example, SD video may appear acceptable at 1000 Kbps (1M) but HD video is unacceptable at 1000 Kbps. Therefore we recommend the following settings for your video bitrate: When NVS-31 is in record-only mode, the recommended video bitrate is 16 Mbps. When NVS-31 is in stream-only mode, the recommended video bitrate is 10 Mbps. When NVS-31 streams and records simultaneously, sum of the stream and record video bitrates should not exceed 12Mbps. Audio Bitrate (bps) The NVS-31 offers the user the following audio bitrates at which you may want to stream the audio. It is recommended to select 128Kbps or higher. 48 GOP GOP pattern with longer GOP length encodes video very efficiently. Shorter GOP lengths usually work better with video that has quick movements, but they do not compress the data rate as much. Depending on your applications, the NVS-31 offers the user 16 GOP sizes ranging from 1 to 180. Stream Settings Stream Type The NVS-31 offers the user six stream types. There are RTSP, RTMP, TS, HLS, SRT and Youtube. Please note that when streaming, the NVS-31 converts video into data, which are sent across an IP network. High bitrates consume more bandwidth across the IP network. In a gigabit office LAN, high bitrate may not be a concern and Speed/Bandwidth is therefore not a limitation in an NVS-31 application environment. If your available bandwidth is limited, you should reduce both your resolution and your bitrate accordingly. A good rule of thumb is for the bitrate of your stream to use no more than 50% of your available upload bandwidth capacity on a dedicated line. For example, if the result you get from a speed test shows that you have 2Mbps of upload speed available, your combined audio and video bitrate should not exceed 1Mbps. Stream Type RTSP RTSP Port RTSP Port is 554 by default. RTSP HTTP Port RTSP HTTP port is 8000 by default. 49 Video Only Enable this option if you just want to stream the video without the audio. RTSP Username/Password The account and password are root by default. Stream Type RTMP(S) RTMP URL Enter the RTMP URL obtained from any live streaming platform such as Ustream. Note: The NVS-31 supports RTMP Publish only and not RTMP Local. Stream Name Enter the stream name or key from any live streaming platform such as Ustream. Account Enter your RTMP account name. Password Enter the password of your RTMP account. Audio Only In this option, the user is allowed to choose to stream Audio Only or Video Only. If disabled, video and audio streams will be delivered simultaneously. Stream Type TS TS Port The TS port number is 12345 by default. TS IP The TS IP address is 239.100.100.101 by default. 50 Video Only Enable this option if you just want to stream the video without the audio. Stream Type SRT SRT Port The SRT port is 9001 by default. Play URL A stream URL will be generated after the Start button is clicked. Record Encoder Settings Bitrate Mode The bitrate mode sets the video bitrate mode for your video stream. The available modes are high, mid and low. Note: You are allowed to switch between different bitrate modes by pressing the Bitrate button on the Record/Stream panel. See section 6.4 for details. Resolution Recording resolution is the number of pixels (dots) used to create an image. Higher resolutions use more pixels to create an image. This means that greater amounts of detail can be expressed in the image, but larger files sizes and a greater amount of storage (i.e. hard drive space) are required to save the images or video. Frame Rate Frame rate greatly impacts the style and viewing experience of a video. Different frame rates yield different viewing experiences, and choosing a frame rate often means choosing between things such as how realistic you want your video to look, or whether or not you plan to use techniques such as slow motion or motion blur effects. Below is a list of common options for different applications: 24fps This is the standard for movies and TV shows, and it was determined to be the minimum speed needed to capture video while still maintaining realistic motion. 30fps Videos with a lot of motion, such as sports, will often benefit from the extra frames per second. 51 60+fps Anything higher than 30fps is mainly used to create slow motion video or to record video game footage. Profile Profile sets the H.264 encoding profile for your recorder. The available options are Baseline, Main, and High. Typically, High profile provides the best image quality and is suitable in most instances. Video Bitrate (bps) The bitrate of the video specifies the amount of information stored in the video. The higher the bitrate is, the clearer the video is. Recommended video bitrate 720P or lower 8 10 mbps 1080P or higher 15 mbps or higher Audio Bitrate (bps) The NVS-31 offers the user the following audio bitrates at which you may want to record the audio. It is recommended to record at 128Kbps or higher. 52 GOP GOP pattern with longer GOP length encodes video very efficiently. Shorter GOP lengths usually work better with video that has quick movements, but they do not compress the data rate as much. Depending on your applications, the NVS-31 offers the user 16 GOP sizes ranging from 1 to 180. Record Settings File Name Enter the name of the recording file.

Customers can either download the HS-1600T firmware as they wish or contact their local dealer or reseller for assistance. This section outlines the firmware upgrade process which should take approximately 10 minutes to complete. The existing HS-1600T settings should persist through the firmware upgrade process, which should not be interrupted once started as this could result in a non-responsive unit. Successful firmware upgrade on HS-1600T requires: HS-1600T x 1 48V Power adapter x 1 USB thumb drive x 1 USB Cable x 1 Update Procedure 1. On the PC, copy the two HS-1600T firmware binary files to the root directory of a USB thumb drive. After the files are successfully copied, safely remove the USB thumb drive from the PC. HS-1600T.bin: The HS-1600T Keyboard (KB) Firmware is approximately 27KB and usually with a version number of V1.X. HS-1600TM.bin: The firmware file for the HS-1600T Mainboard (MB) and OSD MENU fonts is approximately 2-3 MB (Example of the firmware display is V1.16 for the mainboard and V1.02 for OSD fonts). 2. Connect the USB thumb drive to the F/W Upgrade USB port located on the back of the HS-1600T device. 3. Turn on the HS-1600T power. 4. Approximately after 5 seconds, the keyboard firmware will be updated and the update status will be indicated by the LED color of the program row buttons. Same version number detected: The firmware will NOT be updated and all six buttons should illuminate red. 78 Different version number detected: The BLK button flashes red twice and the firmware will be updated. All six program row buttons will illuminate red while the firmware is being updated. As soon as the program row buttons are turned off and then turned back on (red) again, the firmware update is complete. The HS-1600T automatically reboots itself after the keyboard firmware is updated. 5. The Mainboard firmware is automatically updated after the Step 4 is executed and the update status will be indicated by the LED color (green) of the preview row buttons. Approximately 5 seconds after the HS-1600T is rebooted, you will see a startup screen on the monitor with old mainboard version (V1.5) displayed at the bottom right corner. At this point, the BLK button will start flashing green. The mainboard firmware update will start approximately 10 seconds after the mainboard finishes booting. The startup screen on the monitor disappears and the firmware update will be in progress as the preview row buttons are turned on one at a time from left to right until all buttons illuminate solid green after approximately ONE minute. At this point, the firmware update is complete and the mainboard will reboot itself. After the HS-1600T finishes booting, the new version number (V1.6) will be displayed at the bottom right corner of the HS-1600T startup screen. 6. The OSD fonts will be automatically updated after the Step 5 is executed and the update status will be indicated by the LED color (green) of the preview row buttons. The machine reboots itself after the mainboard is updated, and the BLK button will start flashing green after the reboot. The OSD fonts update will start approximately 10 seconds after the mainboard finishes booting. The startup screen on the monitor disappears and the firmware update will be in progress as the preview row buttons are turned on one at a time from left to right until all buttons illuminate solid green after approximately SIX minutes. At this point, the monitor should display a four-quadrant Multiview screen and this indicates that the OSD fonts update is complete. 7. The update is finished when all six buttons of the program and preview rows illuminate solid red and green respectively. Remove the USB thumb drive and reboot the HS-1600T. 8. After the machine finishes booting and as soon as you see the Multiview screen, press the MENU button to open the OSD menu to check the MB, OSD and KB versions: Use the Up/Down arrow buttons to move to the Setup option and check if the firmware is successfully updated: MB Software: V1.16.1.02 KBD Software: V1.2 (HS-1600T) Note 1: The device will not be damaged even if the USB cable or power is accidentally disconnected while the firmware is being updated; plug the USB thumb drive back in and reboot the device to resume the update process. Note 2: The USB disk drive system supports FAT / FAT32 formats. Note 3: There is no guarantee that the HS-1600T supports all USB disks. When you see all buttons of the program and preview rows illuminate pink or greenish pink, this indicates that the disk file read error has occurred.

If you have any questions, please refer to related sections and follow all suggested solutions. If problem still exists, please contact your distributor or the service center. No. Problems Solutions 1. Audio is switched only after the It is normal that audio is switched after the transition transition is complete. is complete regardless of the transition method (T- Bar or Auto) used. 2. What are the recommended SD card classes? Use any of the SD Card Classes C10/U1/V10. 3. a. Why am I still seeing lag delay in a. This could be due to unoptimized disk formatting. the video recorded on SD Card Format your disk on the NVS-31 or using the tool Class C10? downloaded from the SD association's official website (https://www.sdcard.org/cht/downloads/formatter_ 4/index.html). b. In this case, why doesn't the system issue any error messages upon the start of video recording? b. The system detects and sets write speed upon the start of video recording and because insufficient write speed is experienced during video recording so the system does not issue an error message. 4. Jitter is seen on moving images. Please make sure the input and output are set to the same resolution and frame rate. 5. A few important things to note Because the NVS-31 UI is not updated in real time so about operating the NVS-31. the UI status display may not reflect the current device status. As a result, whether the device is operated on the panel, on the UI or both, please refresh the status page from time to time to make sure the information displayed is the latest. You should also constantly monitor your video recording and streaming at the same time. 82 Appendix 5 Tips for Establishing an HDBaseT Compliance Environment and Ethernet Cable Selection Tips for Establishing an HDBaseT Compliance Environment HDBaseT alliance defines the maximum number of cables in a bundle use case to be six cables per bundle. Table below defines the maximum number of cables in a bundle as a function of cable type & the overlapping length. HDBaseT Cabling-Permissible Number of Cables in a Bundle Type 30m 50m 70m 100m CAT5e/6 6 4 2 1 CAT6a/7 6 6 6 6 The following installation practices can help to withstand the external interference when using CAT5e/6 cables: A) Do not "comb" or "pinstripe" cables in the first 20 meters. B) Use separate patch and equipment cords in the first 20 meters. C) Avoid use of tie-wraps. D) Use horizontal wire management techniques. For example, route odd ports to upper management and even ports to lower management. E) Loosely place cables in vertical wire management. F) Reduce maximum conduit fill density to 40%. G) It is recommended to roll the cable around a fixed radius drum in an orderly manner. This is shown on the left hand side of below. When the turns are ordered, the electromagnetic coupling between the various sections that occurs in a randomly rolled cable is reduced. The FEXT impairment level measured when rolling an Ethernet cable around a 70 cm fixed diameter plastic drum is only slightly higher than that of a fully stretched cable. Tips for Establishing an HDBaseT Compliance Environment Outdoors/for the Strong Interference Environment 83 1. If customers want to establish an HDBaseT compliance environment outdoors, it is recommended that customers can use the UV resistant Ethernet cable to make sure that the Ethernet cable achieves its best connection quality. Generally speaking, the outdoor UV resistant Ethernet cable is coated with the black PE skin. 2. If there is any interference source at the customer side such as the radio interference, it is highly recommended to adopt the SFTP* to prevent the Ethernet cable from interference. *SFTP: The SFTP (Shielded and Foiled Twisted Pair) is an Ethernet cable with foil shielding around the individual twisted wires and an overall shield which can be a flexible braid. This provides highest protection for the Ethernet cable to prevent it from interference. Tips for the Ethernet Cable Selection for the HDBaseT System & Camera Connection 1. Please use the solid conductors rather than the stranded conductors for the HDBaseT system network connection due to that the solid conductors have better electrical performance than the stranded conductors. 2. Please Do NOT use the flat ethernet cable due to following reasons. A) There is no twisted paired inside the flat ethernet cable to offset the interference. B) There is no cross-spacer between the cables inside the flat ethernet cable. C) The diameter of each core cannot meet the AWG standard due to cut corners. For the CAT5e cable, the diameter for most of the flat Ethernet cables cannot meet the 24AWG (0.49~0.51mm) standard and the bandwidth cannot meet the 125MHz standard. For the CAT6/CAT6a cable, the diameter for most of the flat Ethernet cables cannot meet the 23AWG standard and the bandwidth cannot meet the 250MHz standard. For the CAT7 cable, the diameter for most of the flat Ethernet cables cannot meet the 22AWG standard and the bandwidth cannot meet the 600MHz standard. D) For many of the multicore Ethernet cables, the solid conductor for each core is made by the aluminum wire, copper-clad aluminum wire or copper-clad steel wire rather than the anaerobic copper wire. 3.
