Video streaming: configuring the Infomaniak video encoder

This guide explains how to configure the Infomaniak encoder.

1. Default access and password configuration

Once you have connected the encoder, it will be accessible on your network at the following address: 192.168.1.168

Configuration is made via an Internet browser at this address: http://192.168.1.168

• User name: admin
• Password: admin

First, we ask you to define a strong password:

2. Network configuration

If access at the 192.168.1.168 address suits you, you can go directly to step 3.

Otherwise, if your network is configured in DHCP or if you wish to define a different IP address, the System > Network page enables you to define the access settings. It may be necessary to contact your network administrator to carry out the various settings and authorize this new device for your firewall.

3. Configuring the main stream

3.1 In case a single stream is sent:

This is a case of:

• Transcoding in the Cloud => see point (1) and (1.3) in this guide
• or Mono-bitrate => see point (3) in this guide

Please adjust the following settings:

• The bitrate (kbit) and resolution (encoded size) must be adjusted according to your needs.
• RTMP PUBLISH URL corresponds to the publication URL indicated in your Manager in the stream configuration:

The encoder does not enable you to enter a stream key. It is thus necessary to concatenate this latter with the URL.

Example: rtmp://stream.vprimary.infomaniak.com/livecast?key=XXXXXX/stream

The “stream” values and the password (key=XXXXXX) must be replaced by your personal data.

3.2 In case several streams are sent:

To find out more about this case, please refer to point (2) and (2.2) of this guide.

In case several streams are sent, you will be in multi-bitrate mode with n streams encoded on the encoder.

The Substream1, Substream2 and Substream3 sub-menus enable you to configure the encoding of up to 3 additional streams:

3.3 Audio configuration:

Audio input will need to be adjusted once the connections are made. The bitrate can also be adjusted according to the type of content. We recommend you use the following codec: 128 Kbps AAC, at 44100 Hz.
