1. Setting up your Videon device(s)
1.1 Network Requirements
Your installation space must be equipped with a DHCP-enabled and multicast-enabled
Ethernet router. Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) refers to a method of assigning
unique IP addresses to devices on a network. Most routers have these capabilities and default
to these settings.
Upload bandwidth needs to be sufficient for the video bitrate that you’re encoding. See the
Suggested Bitrate Table in Section 2.5.(Use a network speed diagnostic tool such as
speedtest.net to determine your maximum upload bandwidth.)
1.2 Equipment
In order to set up a Videon encoder, you need:
•HDMI or SDI video source
•Computer with Google Chrome web browser (Chrome version 39 or newer is
recommended)
•DHCP- and multicast-enabled router connected to network
•HDMI or SDI cable to connect video source to encoder
•Ethernet cable to connect encoder to router
•Ethernet cable to connect control computer to router
With your device, you received a Videon power supply and a USB stick. On the USB stick,
you’ll find the Videon Discovery Application.

1.3 Connecting Your Videon device(s)
We recommend completing all hardware connections before powering on your device.
1. Connect the video source to the device’s HDMI IN port with an HDMI cable, or the SDI
IN port with an SDI cable. Connect an audio jack to the device’s AUDIO IN port to use
analog audio, rather than embedded audio.
2. Connect the device’s Ethernet port to the router with an Ethernet cable.
3. Connect the control computer to the router with an Ethernet cable.
4. Plug one end of provided power supply into the device’s 12V connector and plug the
other into the wall. This will power on the device. Alternatively, use Power over Ethernet
to power the device. Be sure to use a PoE switch.

1.5 Final Setup
Verify that the following components of your installation are turned on:
•Video source
•Control computer
•Router

2. Controlling your Videon Device(s)
2.1 Overview
To control Videon devices, you will use a device’s IP address to log into the web user interface
through your browser. Once you are connected to a Videon device, you can control any other
device on that network through the same interface window. (You do not need to enter the IP
address of each unit individually.)
2.2 Initial Setup: IP Address Discovery
Videon Discovery Application (Recommended):
The first time you use your control computer to connect to a Videon device, you will need to run
the Videon Discovery Application to detect the IP addresses of devices on your network.
Download the Videon Discovery Application from the Videon Knowledge Base
at https://kb.videon-central.com/display/GKB/Product+Resources, or install the app from the
USB stick that came with your device.
Windows: Run the executable file called “Videon_Discovery_App_Windows.exe” and install.
Mac: Once the folder called “Mac” is extracted, run the executable file called “videon-discovery-
os-x.dmg” and install.
Linux: Once files are extracted, go to the folder named “VideonDiscovery” and double-click the
executable called “VideonDiscovery”. Optionally, follow the install instructions in “README-
linux”.
The app will automatically begin scanning the network for Videon devices and will display the IP
addresses of the devices as they are found. Click the Open button next to the IP address of
any device. This device will act as the controller to enter the web-based user interface.
Note: If you are using more than one Videon device on your network, we recommend
connecting each device independently the first time you operate it. Log onto the user interface
and rename that device before moving on to the next. This will help you identify the devices.
Alternate Method: If you are unable to find the Videon device using the Videon Discovery
Application, use the alternative method below that uses the USB Storage Device included in the
package contents.
IP Address Stored to an SD or USB Storage Device:
Once the device is booted up, obtain the network information of your device, such as the IP
address. Insert a USB storage device or an SD card. Wait at least 30 seconds, and then remove
the storage device. There should now be a file on the storage device named
“streaming_network_configurations.txt”.
2. Controlling your Videon Device(s) Page 8
The file should contain the following:
•IP address
•The subnet mask
•The gateway address
•The domain name servers (DNS)
Enter the IP address shown in the .txt file into your web browser to reach the web UI.
2.3 LED Indicators
The LED indicators on the front of the Shavano device signifies the following states:
State Source LED Record LED Stream LED
Off No source Record is off All stream outputs
turned off
Blue Valid source Recording Streaming
Blue blinking Connecting to RTMP
Red Invalid source Error recording Streaming error
Red blinking Error connecting to
RTMP

can be seen in the table below. See subsequent sections for more detailed description of
options in each tab.

2.5 Encoder Control
This tab allows you to control all Videon encoders currently on your network. If the device that is
currently serving the user interface has an “Encoder” role enabled, it will be the first row in the
table. (You can tell which device is serving the interface by looking at the top right corner of the
interface window.) Each row shows a summary of an individual encoder’s status and provides a
Configure button for the Encoder Settings and a Configure button for the Output Settings.
Information about the encoder:
Device Name:The name assigned to the encoder. It can be changed in the Device
Settings tab.
AV Input Type: Select the appropriate video input type.
Input Resolution: Indicates whether a valid video signal is detected from the encoder’s
selected video source.
•If a valid video signal is detected from the selected video source, this column lists
the resolution and framerate.
•If , no valid video signal is currently detected.
Streaming: Indicates if the encoder is actively streaming.
Icon Hover Text Result
Streaming
Stream is active (RTMP, unicast, multicast, or
RTSP).
Not streaming
All streaming is off.
RTMP connecting
RTMP is connecting to server.
Error connecting to
RTMP server
An error occurred while connecting. Please
confirm the correct values have been entered for
the RTMP settings.
Waiting for input
The encoder does not detect any video input.
Please confirm the video source is powered on
and outputting video.
Unable to encode
The encoder detects the video input, but it is in a
format which it does not support. Please refer to
the Knowledge Base at kb.videon-central.com for
your encoder’s Datasheet.
