Insert the IncodeX Stream into the rack, aligning the holes of the unit’s mounting bracket with those of the rack.b. Secure the IncodeX Stream to the rack with user-supplied rack screws.2. Plug it in.Using a straight-through RJ-45 Ethernet cable,connect the IncodeX Stream Ethernet portdirectly to a cable or DSL modem or to a 10/100BASE-T switch on your TCP/IP network. Tocheck your network connection, look at the Eth-ernet LEDs above the Ethernet port and com-pare to the table at left.IncodeX Stream Ethernet LED IndicatorsLED Position State DescriptionLeft Off Connection speed is 10Mb/sBlinking amber Connection speed is 100Mb/sRight Off Ethernet link not establishedSteady on green Ethernet link established.Attach your network, power, and signal wiring to the IncodeX Stream according to the instructions below:Connect the included power cable to thepower cord connector and then plug theother end into an AC power source.SETTING UP THE INCODEX STREAMLeave empty rack spaces above and below the IncodeX Stream. TheIncodeX Stream should not have anything stacked on top of it.If using, connect youranalog audio source tothe audio inputs.LEIGHTRONIX strongly recommends the use of an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) with the IncodeXStream. Damage from power loss or spikes is not covered under warranty.Once the IncodeX Stream encoder is installed, wired, and configured with network settings accord-ing to the steps in this section, the encoder will automatically start converting the incoming video/audio input signal into an H.264 video stream. As long as the IncodeX Stream is powered on andhas a connected video input, the encoder will continually output a video stream.NOTE: For optimal performance, use a dedicated,DSL Internet business connection with yourIncodeX Stream.If using an analog video source,connect your source to the com-posite video input.If using a digital videosource, connect your sourceto the SDI video input.
