Follow these steps to set up your URayCoder SDI to IP Encoder:

1. מאַכט קשר: Connect the provided DC12V power adapter to the encoder's DC12V input port.
2. SDI אַרייַנשרייַב: Connect your SDI video source (e.g., broadcast camera, CCTV camera, other SDI source) to the 'SDI IN' port on the encoder.
3. SDI Loop Out (Optional): If you need to monitor the SDI input locally, connect a display monitor to the 'SDI OUT' port. This provides a direct passthrough of the SDI signal.
4. אַודיאָ אַרייַנגאַנג (אָפּציאָנעל): If using external audio, connect your audio source to the 'AUDIO' 3.5mm jack. The encoder also supports embedded SDI audio.
5. נעץ קאַנעקשאַן: Connect an Ethernet cable from the encoder's 'LAN' port to your router, switch, or network hub. Ensure your network provides DHCP or configure a static IP address as needed.
6. ערשטע צוטריט: Once powered on and connected to the network, the encoder will obtain an IP address (if DHCP is enabled). You can typically find the device's IP address using a network scanner tool or by checking your router's connected devices list. Access the encoder's web-based configuration interface by entering its IP address into a web בלעטערער.

The URayCoder encoder is primarily configured and operated via its web-based graphical user interface (GUI).

4.1 . Web צובינד נאַוויגאַציע

After accessing the encoder's IP address in your web browser, you will be presented with the main dashboard. The left-hand navigation pane allows you to access different settings categories:

• סטאַטוס: View real-time operational data, including running time, device time, CPU usage, temperature, network status, input resolution, and collected video/audio frames.
• ענקאָדער: Configure video and audio encoding parameters for main and substreams.
• OSD (אויף סקרין ווייַז): Manage text, logo, and time overlays on the output video.
• סיסטעם: Access network settings, password management, firmware upgrade, reboot, schedule reboot, and factory reset options.

4.2. ווידעא און אַודיאָ סעטטינגס

Navigate to the 'Encoder' section to configure your streaming outputs:

• קאָדירונג טיפּ: Select H.265 or H.264.
• Resolution & Frame Rate: Adjust encoded video resolution (e.g., 1920x1080, 1280x720) and frame rate (FPS).
• ביטראַטע: Set the target bitrate for your video streams.
• Streaming Protocols: Enable and configure URLs for various protocols such as TS, HLS, FLV, RTSP, RTMP(S), SRT, UDP, and Multicast.
• אַודיאָ סעטטינגס: Select audio input (SDI Audio or Line-in Audio), sampling rate, encoder type (AAC, MP3, etc.), bitrate, and digital volume gain.

4.3. On Screen Display (OSD)

The OSD feature allows you to overlay custom elements onto your video stream. Go to the 'OSD' section to configure up to four zones:

• Enable/Disable Zone: Activate or deactivate each OSD zone.
• טיפּ: Choose between text, scrolling text, or time.
• שטעלע: Set X and Y coordinates for the overlay.
• Text/Logo: Enter custom text or upload a logo (BMP/PNG format, max 500KB).
• Font Size & Color: Adjust font size and color for text overlays.
• הינטערגרונט קאָליר: Set background color for text, including transparent option.

6. טראָובלעשאָאָטינג

If you encounter issues with your URayCoder encoder, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

• קיין מאַכט: Ensure the DC12V power adapter is securely connected to both the encoder and a working power outlet. Check the power indicator light on the device.
• No Video Output/Input: Verify that the SDI input source is active and properly connected to the 'SDI IN' port. Check the input resolution and format compatibility in the 'Status' section of the web GUI. Ensure the output streaming URLs are correctly configured and accessible.
• קיין אַודיאָ: Confirm that the audio source is active and connected correctly (either embedded in SDI or via the 3.5mm audio jack). Check audio settings in the web GUI, including input selection and encoding parameters.
• נעץ קאָנעקטיוויטי פּראָבלעמען: Ensure the Ethernet cable is securely connected to the 'LAN' port and your network. Verify the encoder's IP address and network settings (subnet mask, gateway) in the 'System' section. Try rebooting the encoder and your network router.
• Audio/Video Sync Issues: This can sometimes occur due to network latency or incorrect encoding settings. Review the 'Advanced' settings for potential adjustments related to synchronization or buffering.
• Web Interface Unresponsive: Try clearing your browser's cache or using a different web browser. If the issue persists, power cycle the encoder.
• פאַבריק באַשטעטיק: As a last resort for persistent issues, you can perform a factory reset via the 'System' section in the web GUI. This will revert all settings to their default values.
