Configure the Infomaniak encoder for video streaming

This guide explains how to set up the Infomaniak encoder.

 

1. Default access and password configuration

Once the connections are made, the encoder will be accessible on your network at the address: 192.168.1.168

Configuration is done from a web browser at the address: http://192.168.1.168

  • Username: admin
  • Password: admin

First, set a strong password:

2. Network configuration

If accessing the address 192.168.1.168 suits you, you can skip directly to point 3.

Otherwise, if your network is configured with DHCP or if you want to specify a different IP address, the System > Network page allows you to set the access parameters. It may be necessary to contact your network administrator to make the various settings and authorize this new device at the firewall level.

3. Main stream configuration

3.1 In the case where a single stream is sent

These are the cases:

  • Cloud transcoding => see point (1) and (1.3) of this guide
  • or Single-bitrate => see point (3) of this guide

Please adjust the following parameters:

  • 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:

sign

The encoder does not allow entering a stream key. Therefore, it is necessary to concatenate the latter with the URL.

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

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

 

3.2 In the case where multiple streams are sent

For more information on this case, please refer to points (2) and (2.2) of this guide.

In the case where multiple streams are sent, you will be in multibitrate mode with n streams encoded on the encoder.

The submenus Substream1, Substream2 and Substream3 allow you to configure the encoding of up to 3 additional streams:

3.3 Audio configuration

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