CHAPTER 2: OVERVIEW
2.1 INTRODUCTION
VS-2001-ENC is a live streaming media encoder that interfaces with HDMI signals for delivering media over IP networks. VS-2001ENC can be used with a third-party decoder such as a set-top box, a VLC and Kodi media player on PCs to provide complete end-toend streaming systems. It features one HDMI input and one Ethernet output for simplified integration into AV systems.
VS-2001-ENC uses standards-based H.264/MPEG-4 AVC encoding and MPEG-2 transport streams, and outputs IP streams that
can easily be decoded and viewed on the third party decoders. The multicast streams are output and can be received and decoded
by multiple decoders. Up to ten RTSP sessions can work simultaneously. Encoding controls provide adjustments for bit rate and
quality. VS-2001-ENC offers integration-friendly control features: LAN (Web GUI and Telnet), providing simple, flexible control and
management options.
By extending AV signals over networks, VS-2001-ENC significantly expands AV system capability.

TECHNICAL
SUPPORT
1. 8 7 7. 8 7 7. 2 2 6 9
2.2.1 FEATURES
Standards-based H.264/MPEG-4 AVC video compression —VS-2001-ENC employs the High Profile of the H.264/MPEG-4 AVC
compression standard.
Selectable audio encoding control from LPCM and AAC — LPCM offers a fixed audio encoding bit rate while AAC features variable
audio compression, available to support different streaming bit rate requirements.
Encapsulates A/V output data into MPEG-2 transport stream. The program number can be altered.
Delivers TS data through UDP or RTP. Both unicast and multicast are supported.
Supports RTSP by which a client entity can build a session and play the media content. Up to ten RTSP sessions can work
simultaneously.
Supports output rate limit. With the unique design of the encoder’s rate limit control mechanism, the device can smooth the output
rate and make output data successfully pass through networks with strict bandwidth limits.
LAN (Web GUI & Telnet) control -- VS-2001-ENC is controllable over Ethernet, available for an intuitive web page control as well as
Telnet CLI control using API commands.
Supports PoE to be remotely powered by a piece of compatible power source equipment such as a PoE switch, eliminating the need
for a nearby power outlet.
2.2.2 BENEFITS
Input: one HDMI input
Supports a wide range of resolutions for input signals from standard definition to 3840 x 2160 @ 30 Hz, including 1920 x 1080 @ 60
Hz and 1920 x 1200 @ 60 Hz
Output: one 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet output
Output resolutions follow input
Streams HDMI signals over IP networks
Capable of outputting IP streams that can easily be decoded and viewed on the VS-2001-DEC or third-party decoders. The multicast
streams are output and can be received and decoded by multiple decoders.

CHAPTER 2: OVERVIEW
Use with a third-party decoder such as a set-top box and a VLC media player on PCs to provide complete end-to-end streaming
systems.
Supports HDCP as well as its configuration of different applications.
Supports the following streaming transport protocols.
- RTP/RTSP streaming transport protocols may be applied, based on various network conditions
- Native RTP and MPEG-2 Transport Streams - TS may be applied in unicast or multicast streaming applications. TS may be
transported over UDP or RTP based on network conditions.
Bonjour automatic discovery of VS-2001-ENC
“Where am I” feature supported, once the encoder receives a “locate device” command, the device can twinkle the status indicator
with a special mode to indicate its physical position.
Software upgrade through an embedded web page.
Supports communications protocols used on the Internet such as TCP/IP, ARP, DHCP, ICMP (ping), IGMP, Telnet, HTTP, RTP, RTSP,
UDP
Rackmountable 1U, half-rack width metal enclosure
Selectable audio encoding control from LPCM and AAC — LPCM offers a fixed audio encoding bit rate while AAC features variable
audio compression, available to support different streaming bit rate requirements.
Encoding quality controls including video bit rate and audio bit rate— two user controls are available to adjust encoding quality.

Connects to a 12-V, 1-A power supply.
NOTE: We recommend that you power encoders/decoders using
either power adapters or a PoE switch instead of using power
supplies and PoE at the same time. For example, if you want
to use power adapters, ensure that the PoE function of the
connected LAN ports in the switch is disabled or a non-PoE
switch is used.
Video Output: (1) LAN (PoE): Connects to an Ethernet switch
for streaming media output
NOTE: If you use a PoE Ethernet switch, the encoder can be powered
by this switch, eliminating the need for a nearby power outlet.
Audio Output: (1) AUDIO OUT: Connects to an audio output device
such as an amplifier or a speaker.
Video Input: (1) HDMI IN: connects to an HDMI video source such as a
DVD player and a computer.
RS-232 passthrough control: (1) RS-232: connects to a third party
device such as a camera, which can be controlled by IP configurator
and IP controller on your computer.
RESET: Reset the device to its factory defaults.
When the device is powered on, use a pointed stylus to hold down
the RESET button for five or more seconds, and then release it, it will
reboot and restore to its factory defaults.
NOTE: When the settings are restored, your custom data is lost.
Therefore, exercise caution when using the RESET button.
Connects to the ground for preventing electric shock and device
damage.
