1080P60 hdmi Encoder-Support SRT,RTMP,RTSP,RTMPS,UDP,HTTP,HLS，Live Stream Broadcast for YouTube, Facebook, Twitch, etc. Video Encoder for Live Streaming

I wanted to stream a DVD player to my phone. It works well for that purpose. The settings are a bit complicated, and a help or tutorial box to explain what each thing does would be helpful. I'm still a little confused about the functions. But all in all it does what I want it to do.

Buen producto, cumple con lo indicado. Muy estable, sin problemas de video, lo estoy probando para enviar video de un pais a otro y trabaja sin problemas.

As other customer reviews have stated, this unit is not easy to program to make connections to whatever specific IP camera you may need to decode. The supplied instruction manual is in very small print and only shows example command lines to show you the command line syntax and not the actual commands for your specific camera. However, I was able to search online and an AI response gave me the exact command line for my make and model camera which worked on the first try. After successfully making the correct programming changes, the unit seemed to work perfectly over my wired network connection. Not sure nor did not test for wireless connection performance. Keep in mind that even though it says it will decode a 4K IP camera, it will only output at 1080P. Therefore I set my IP camera to encode only 1080P in an effort to lessen the work load on the camera's CPU as well as this decoder unit thinking that it will make a cleaner connection that will be less likely to fail. I was very pleased that in my 1080P to 1080P setup over a fast wired network that the video latency was very, very low which was critical for my application of using a high res IP camera as a stern backup camera on a 40' yacht going into a 24" HDMI TV input at the helm to aid in docking. Too much delay might mean losing a dock plying or two as circuiting it though the boats NVR system would, which caused almost a second of delay. Bottom line, if you can get the correct programming command line set online for your specific IP camera, this unit does exactly what it says it will. But don't rely on the included instructions for that correct information.***

After start-up it shows the ip address in top left corner for a bit. It also seems to show the IP address any time a stream is not working, understandable, but I wish it didn't. When a stream doesn't work it shows a black screen. If the stream fails, it will keep displaying the last image received. Either way it will overlay "NO INPUT SIGNAL" on top. UI is basic. There are no previews or stream images. Status is text, no previews. Some options are included in the UI, but semi-disabled (Encoder device, SAP device). I ran into one bug, a bad fixed IP redirect when rebooting. There is a tool to grab stream URLs from ONVIF devices which is a nice quick method if you're working with typical security/network cameras. I had trouble initially getting streams to work. I switched to an RTSP server on my other device, and that has worked well. Latency seems fine, maybe a second. There is an 'alternates' page that lets you store 9 stream URLs with names for quick selection. Output can be 1, or 4 streams. It has some presets for laying them out (3 images along any side, and the 4th filling the rest). If you want to customize them you have to manually enter the screen position and size. You can't save your layouts. Overlay is basic. You can define 4 elements; they can be text, an image, or rolling text. There is no font choice, just size. Rolling text isn't great. It only has a vertical position. The text movement isn't smooth, but rather jumps 'speed' pixels every 2 seconds or so. I tried the USB playback. When a device is plugged in the channel selection screen changes to let you choose USB, and a file. It failed in 3 different ways with 3 different files I tried. One only played back 2 seconds on loop. The second played sped up. The third had some image corruption, and then it caused the device to crash and reset. I tried a fourth, more average (960x720, 30 fps) video, but it also caused the device to reset. I gave up. == Internals == Inside the device there are quite a lot of unused and unpopulated headers. I see SATA, infrared, and a bunch of unknown 3 and 4-pin JST connectors. There is a UART header. Maybe a battery header for RTC. The main SoC is SigmaStar SSR621Q, in the boot log it is reported as 'MERCURY6 SSC019A-S01A-S'. Appears to be a dual core ARM Cortex A7 with 128MB memory. Seems common in NVR devices. Fast ethernet (100 Mbit) only. Flash storage is Macronix MX25L25645GZ2I-08G, 256Mbit (32 megabytes). This device constantly checks for internet connectivity with a long list of US and Chinese domains and IP addresses. I don't see anything in the interface that requires this check so I think it is bad. I'm only using it on a offline network.

First, it works. But you need to know a bit of networking to get it working. My network runs a different subnet than how it comes configured so i had to use a basic switch and static my laptop first to get into it and change the IP settings to match my own network. Second, there are a lot of settings here, and its going to take awhile for you to find the perfect stream for what you are using it for. Myself, I am sending my Video Server to all tv;s in my house with my Apple tv's and xbox's being able to pull the stream. I ended up using H264 or H265 because some of my older apple tv's could handle H265. Also spent a bit adjust the bitstream data throughput. If you do not have a robust network, be prepared to drop it low so it doesnt bog down your network. I have mines set at the highest level i can but if i go download and transfer something large on the network, i dont ahve the backplane to support and the video gets spotty. Again, i can lower the bitrate but I want the quality and boy oh boy can they send some crystal clear video.

Item works, but you can't get them, they always have an excuse for not delivering.

Bought this for device that has hdmi output but no rtsp streaming capability. Now can access the output of this device to all my Smart Tvs all around my house, using for example, VLC (no need to specify port 554). Easy to set up but make sure to access the setup page with http and not https, so port 80 instead of port 443. Easily watch the output on your rtsp viewer. The ability to use either the hdmi audio or through the audio input is a nice feature. I monitor this device temperature through the status page (eg. CPU Junction Temperature:60°C). This doesn't vary much.

I love this device I had a little trouble so I ask chat gpt and poof it works and really works love it

Llegó en tiempo. El producto funciona muy bien acordé lo esperado. El manual es básico pero sirve de arranque.

Looking to encode an hdmi video feed from a camcorder to allow a sports match to be viewed remotely on YouTube Live. First venture into this area, so maybe a bit of a challenge. First point - the instruction book text is so small I had to scan it and view on the laptop! Browser logged into encoder set up pages ok, and accepted video straightaway - able to preview through set up page, or through vlc. Setting up YouTube info is straight forward too - address followed by key. Connected to local router and logged into hub manager page - noticed that the encoder IP address clashed with another device. Solution was to enable DHCP on the encoder so that the router assigned an unused IP. Currently using this sequence to get streaming - login to the YouTube Studio page you're going to use, remove power plug from encoder, switch on encoder power supply, switch on video source (i.e. camera) and plug hdmi into encoder, plug in network cables: encoder -> router ....finally plug in encoder power plug. Takes 30s - 1 min to sync up and might take a few refreshes on YouTube page. OSD graphics work ok - text or images. Love the scrolling text option! Update - external sound tested and working. Option for 2 channels - easy to manage in encoder panel.
