• All live streaming to Facebook, YouTube, or Twitter…requiring your own password for live streaming, it is called streaming key. (The streaming key is not your Facebook or YouTube account password. It is a 16-digit password for live streaming,

please check page 22 for YouTube, Page 24 for Facebook example)

• IAT H.264 / H.265 encoder is a device conducting the video encoding work outside a PC’s (or a smartphone) CPU to avoid

intensive graphic computation overloading the CPU. The PC (or smartphone) shown in our streaming system is for accessing

the encoder’s UI through a router (or smartphone’s WiFi) for encoder settings. (please page 2 for typical live streaming system)

• This User Manual will show you how to accessing the encoder’s UI (user interface) to input the URL, and streaming key into

the encoder for live streaming settings.

• The settings will bring the video encoding task to outside of a PC or Smartphone’s CPU, and then transmitting the encoded

video through a Router or a 3G/4 Mobile network. The setting steps will including followings

1.) Accessing encoder UI (through its default IP address i.e 192.168.1.168) : For knowing how to check and change your PC’s IP

address, and access encoder’s UI, please check following YouTube Demo Video

• https://youtu.be/HInGLNUMJGU

• https://youtu.be/v0yCYIBfhtE

2.) Enable or disable LAN (local area network) URL (This function is good for viewing monitor locally)

3.) Enable and input Facebook or YouTube’s URL and Streaming Key into RTMP for WAN (Wide area network)

A common mistake happened in wired live streaming settings is a user may only changing PC’s IP address

but forgot to make the router’s IP address in the same root. As a result, he can only see streaming in LAN

path. Because the router’s IP address is not in the same 192.168.1.xxx root….the live streaming signal

will not be able to go to internet ( WAN path) to the social media server such as YouTube, Facebook…etc

How to make the encoder for live streaming?

There are 3 important STEPS for making the video encoder functional for live streaming

STEP1 : Accessing the encoder’s UI through its control panel at IP address: 192.168.1.168 (in case not able to access the encoder UI,

please watch our YouTube video for checking and changing LAN iP address� https://youtu.be/HInGLNUMJGU

(You may watch our YouTube Demo Video for How to accessing the encoder UI, Video Link� https://youtu.be/v0yCYIBfhtE

STEP 2: Change encoder’s settings (there are 2 sections of live streaming system LAN and WAN, please referring to Appendix iv Page 19)

a.) For local area network LAN live streaming settings ---

Enable or Disable Live Streaming URLs (application such IPTV)

b.) For WAN live streaming to Youtube, Facebook----

Enable and input Server URL and Streaming Key to the RTMP Publish URL (for wide area network WAN live streaming ,

such as live streaming to Facebook Live, YouTube, other social media network)

c) The most important part of the setting �>Input your correct DNS1 address in Encoder’s Network settings (as shown in

Page 8)

If the encoder is with WiFi Antenna for mobile WiFi link capability, you will have to do additional setting.

d.) Enable WiFi (select STA), and input correct SSID and Password

STEP 3:Apply setting changes, and Reboot the encoder.

Once you get both A.) Live Streaming Server URL and Streaming Key B.) WiFi hotspot SSID and Password information,

and you are ready to accessing the encoder, and make settings.

Accessing the encoder’s User Interface (UI)

knowing how to change your internet IP address for getting the encoder setting temporary

email us for change IP address information: [email protected]

Once getting into the web UI (user interface), check the encoder’s current Status

There are total of 4 different streaming servers can be used for

streaming at the same time

However, for having a better / stable streaming bandwidth, we

would recommend disable any un-used sub-streams

P11

Please check the input video size:

The main stream encoder size can not have a higher video size than the input

video size (now it shows 1920x1080@ 0 meaning no video coming to the

encoder)



Under encoder Status directory, you can check which streaming URL is enable or disabled

We also recommend disable any unused URL



Click into Main Stream directory for setup

Enabling the URL you want to do streaming

P13

Enable RTMP URL for streaming to Facebook, YouTube etc.

Input the Server URL and streaming key

Standard format is rtemp:// Server URL /streaming key

For example input for YouTube live streaming

rtmp://a.rtmp.youtube.com/live2/1234567890123456

Please refer to Appendix II or III

for Live streaming YouTube /Facebooks URL examples

Usually I will enable TS URL , and RTSP URL

and linked using VLC Media player for

LAN (local area network) streaming

Please see Appendix I for using VLC



Important!!!!To make the router be able to send streaming video into internet, you need to set the encoder’s network DNS1 correctly (This section is

for using PC as a control center, if you are using a smartphone please ignore this section). First you need to check what is your network’s

iPv4 address (it can be found in Control panel/network and Internet/Networks connections/ Local Area Connection/Properties/

Click Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) and then click Properties to get your Network Connection details as following

Without this part, you can only see streaming within LAN (local area network), for WAN you must input the correct IP address into DNS1

192.168.1.99

1. Check your router network

connection details

2. Then input the IP address to DNS1



If you are buying an Encoder with WiFi function , please link to the WiFi router (or hot spot) and make sure input the

correct WiFi password of the WiFi router or Smartphone’s hot spot

(Note: the encoder must have the antenna port in order to have WiFi function. A Wired encoder model with no Antenna

that can not use this WiFi section, please disable WiFi)

Note 1: the encoder is capable of live streaming to 4 IP addresses, if you are using only the main stream, please disable any sub-

stream not in using

Note 2: To make sure the encoder working with your internet link, please check your PC’s default gateway to see if the encoder’s

default IP address is within your PC’s IP subnet

a.) If you don’t know how to change your PC ‘s gateway IP address for opening encoder’s UI (User interface) IP address

(192.168.1.168), please referring our YouTube Demo video for how to check PC’s default gateway IP address, and change it to an IP

address compatible to the encoder https://youtu.be/HInGLNUMJGU

b.) To accessing the encoder for the first-time use, you have to use a router and RJ45 cable to log into its UI, and then change the

settings, such as switching the WiFi connection to a hotspot for mobile application or change the video input size, etc.

Note 3: We will keep updating this user manual, please come back to check the update occasionally for new update information

Additional Notes

P29

Other Important Notes for IAT mini encoders:

1. The mini encoder’s output can streaming up to max 4 streams (2x1080P+2x576P) at the same time. This streaming

capability is under the best transmission conditions using a wired connection to wide bandwidth internet connection.

2. If you are using only the main stream, please disable any sub-stream not in using to avoid wasting your encoder usage

bandwidth for a better video live streaming.

3. If you are using a WiFi encoder for live streaming, please avoid the wireless “Dead Zone”.

If your WiFi setting is within or near a “Dead Zone” area, the live streaming will be stopped due to no signal transmission. A

common mistake in no signal during live streaming is due to no WiFi signal transmission in a Dead Zone area. It is not due

to the encoder not working.

* Reading in WiFi Dead Zone, you may referring to following web link or Google the key words “WiFi Dead Zone”

www.makeuseof.com/tag/what-is-a-wireless-dead-zone-and-how-to-eliminate-it/

4. In case you keep changing the encoder set up for experiencing the device, and causing the encoder not working. The easy

way to make it working again is to “reset” the device by pressing the reset button for 8 -10 seconds to refresh the encoder.

5. If you are trying to live steaming from a remote location (such as inside a deep well, forest, at the high-top of a cliff or

mountain with no good WiFi setting and no 3G/4G mobile link to a base station, the wireless encoder will not be able to do

the live streaming. However, we have others solutions for remote location live streaming applications, please contact us for

products. [email protected]

P30

Q&A A.) How come I can only use FLV to view the video in LAN settings, but not able to see

Live streaming in WAN (in YouTube or Facebook)?

Ans: for most of case is your router IP address is not as same as your PC’s IP address.

You will have to change either one of the IP address to make the whole setting with consistent IP address. For example as followings

B.) I am able to live streaming to YouTube but it gets disconnected automatically within 5 to 10 min and YouTube show error of "OFFLINE" AND SHOW

DATA NOT RECEIVING?

Ans: For most of case, you may like to double check your internet bandwidth over some period of time using the free software Speed Test to ensure

your video transmission system is good and stable having enough bandwidth for live streaming to YouTube or Facebook.

Also you may like to try followings,

1.) for video setting, please try to fix the video source with fixed video format (such as 720P with 30F/s or 720P with 60F/s), and for encoder's output

video please also try to set as 720P with 30F/s.

2.) set audio at AAC 48000 sample

3.) It is also better to check the video source keeps sending stable video to the encoder.

4.) If you also using the splitter during the live streaming, please make sure having a stable power source for the switch.

5.) During live streaming, please don't use PC to browsing internet that would causing the router transmission bandwidth fluctuations.

6.) If your video source is a motion-detect or a timing device that stopping sending video to encoder that would also causing no data, and then offline.

7.) If you are using a WiFi encoder for live streaming, please avoid the wireless “Dead Zone”.

If your WiFi setting is within or near a “Dead Zone” area, the live streaming will be stopped due to no signal transmission. A common mistake in no

signal during live streaming is due to no WiFi signal transmission in a Dead Zone area. It is not due to the encoder not working.

* Reading in WiFi Dead Zone, you may referring to following web link or Google the key words “WiFi Dead Zone”

C.) I have trouble to change my router IP address to 192.168.1.xxx range for getting all encoder, PC and router’s IP in the same

192.168.1.xxx rang. What else I can do?

Ans: Yes, you can change the encoder’s IP address to match your router IP range. For example, you router IP default IP address is

192.168.0.1., and your PC is capable are to linking to internet now. That means your PC IP address is also in the IP range, ie.

192.168.0.11.

So to make the encoder IP address matching your internet default IP, please do the following steps:

1. Change PC’s IP address to 19.168.1.1 for accessing the encoder’s UI that with the default IP address 192.168.1.168

2. Once inside the encoder’s UI, please change encoder’s IP address to 192.168.0.168 (this is to match encoder IP to router’s IP range)

3. After save and reboot the encoder, please change your PC IP address back to 192.168.0.1, such that all of your encoder, PC, and

router’s IP address are in the same IP range.

(note: reboot the encoder is total different from the reset. If you reset the encoder, the encoder’s IP address will back t0 192.168.1.168

P32

D.) I am using VLC to view the live streaming video through my PC, how come there is a few seconds of video delay?

Ans: Please check following typical live streaming configuration. There are 2 live streaming paths, one is in LAN Local area network),

and another is WAN (wide area network).

For LAN path: the video stream is from encoder WiFi to Router, and then to PC. When you using VLC to view the live video within

LAN (through RTSP url) you will use the VLC’s software decoder to decode the video for view on PC screen. The decoding speed

depending on the VLC’s settings, and your PC’s CPU speed. If you have a slow CPU, and no good VLC settings, that would cause

more video delay.

For WAN path: the video stream is from encoder (RTMP) WiFi to Router, and then internet to Media Server. The video delay in WAN

path with depending on your internet bandwidth, and Media Server’s video decoding speed.

NOTE: For WAN path, please make sure you have all encoder, PC, and router’s IP address in the same 192.168.1.xxx range.

If you only have the encoder and PC’s IP address in the same 192.168.1.xxx range, and router in 192.168.0.xxx, you will not be able

to live streaming through the WAN path. You can only see video within LAN path.

P33

Some Additional Advice

• Please make sure to reboot the encoder if you made any change in the setting

• If you thought the setting result (streaming) stuck or glitch or looks like mal-function,

• Please “reset” the encoder to start over your settings.

• Because the encoder is a graphic processer, just like a graphic card or GPU in PC is a

computational intense device, a correct setting will give you the optimal streaming.

• If you like to use an encoder for long-hour operation, please buy our encoder that does

with no “mini” in the model number.

1. IAT Encoder model with “mini” word is good for

portable application but not good for long-hour

operation due to heat dissipation of the mini metal

case comparing to 2 -�

2. IAT Encoder model without the “mini” word is good for

long-hour operation

P34

Can I use IAT encoder to live streaming to some professional live streaming services?Yes, you should can, however most of them need monthly fee, and you may need to use their own software.

For using this encoder to RTMP to YouTube and Facebook for live streaming are free of charge, no any monthly fee.

P35



• There are 4 basic methods allowing you do live streaming to Facebook, YouTube, etc.

(Please check available methods � https://youtu.be/LV9BWIFju6c )

Available Portable Low-cost Live Streaming Methods:Method 1: All smartphone Live Streaming APP software relying on the smartphone's GPU (Graphic Processing Unit) for video

processing that causing the smartphone getting hot quickly. If you are connecting a UVC capture card to a smartphone for live

streaming application, it would require the smartphone’s battery providing additional current to the UVC card, and cause the phone

getting hot more rapidly, and run out of the battery very fast which is no good for a smartphone's battery operation. So we don’t

recommend Method 1 for live streaming.

Method 2: You will need a PC with high speed CPU (3GHz above) for a stable live streaming, and a software (such as OBS, vMix,

or Wirecast) to input the streaming key for live streaming.

Method 3 & 4: The advantages of using the H.264 (or H.265) video encoder relieves the processing loading of the GPU (graphic
