Chapter 3 Network Setup

 An RJ-45 Ethernet cable.  Windows 7/8/10 laptop or PC.  The Datavideo Switcher Image

Import/Export software.

The Ethernet port on the back panel of the HS-1300 allows the user to import or export Stills/Clip files and User memory using the Switcher Image Import/Export software. The Switcher Image Import/Export software allows you to manipulate user memories, still pictures and clip files.

Section 3.1 discusses direct connection between the HS-1300 and your Windows computer. In Section 3.2, we will show you how you can remotely set up the Switcher Image Import/Export software with your switcher after it is installed on your Windows computer.

3.1 Switcher Setup with a Windows Computer

When new from the factory the HS-1300 will initially have a static IP address of 192.168.100.101. The

unit can be directly connected to a Windows-based computer using an RJ-45 ethernet cable. The following set up should allow you to initially configure the unit before moving it to an existing DHCP / LAN network.

Instructions

1. First connect the HS-1300 and the Windows computer together using an RJ-45 ethernet cable.

2. Turn on the Windows computer and set it to static IP setup within the Windows Network and Sharing

Centre. In our example below the computer is given the following IP settings so that the computer matches the same IP range as the switcher.

3. Now install the Switcher Image Import/Export software to the computer.

Page 20

3.2 Installing the Switcher Image Import/Export software to a Windows Computer

The HS-1300 can be connected to a simple IP network and accessed using Windows-based software. If you have not already set up the HS-1300 with a computer then please follow the instructions in the previous section.

Please download the latest software from the Datavideo HS-1300 web page. See:

www.datavideo.com

The install executable file [.msi] will be called SwitcherImageImEx_vXXXX.msi

The vXXXX represents the latest version number.

Double click this .msi file then follow the on screen install wizard prompts.

Once installed launch the Switcher Image Import/Export software.

The Switcher Image Import/Export software has a built-in IP finder, which is designed for PC with multiple Ethernet cards or DHCP network environment. Please note IP finder can only find devices that are on the same network domain as the PC. If you cannot remember your device IP, please press the RESET button to restore the default network settings. Upon launch of the Switcher Image Import/Export software, you will be prompted to select one Ethernet Interface Card.

Once selected, click OK to start the scanning process.

Note: Please make sure the selected interface card is on the same network domain as the HS-1300 device.

Once the HS-1300 device is found, the software will connect with the switcher hardware over the IP set up described in the previous section. If the connection is successfully established, on the software user interface as shown in the diagram below, the Connect Status will show “Connected” (will display Not Connected if disconnected).

Page 21

Router Based DHCP Setup

 An IP router which can assign/give IP

addresses.

 Two RJ-45 patch leads.  Windows 7/8/10 laptop or PC.  The IP router Administrator login and

password.

 The Datavideo Switcher

Image Import/Export software.

The computer software can also access the HS-1300 over an existing TCP/IP LAN type network. In order to initially set up the HS-1300, you may need the assistance of your local I.T. specialist to help with the network settings. To help guide you, we have included a simplified network setup example below, further advice may be available through your dealer locally or your Datavideo regional office.

To create this simple dedicated HS-1300 IP network you will need:

1. First connect the router to the HS-1300 and the Windows computer using two RJ-45 patch leads.

2. Turn on the Windows computer and set it to DHCP setup within the Windows Network and Sharing

Centre.

3. Now click the Windows start button and run the CMD prompt window.

4. At the command line > : _ type IPCONFIG and press enter.

Instructions

Page 22

5. The DEFAULT GATEWAY number displayed should be the router’s current IP address.

6. Enter the DEFAULT GATEWAY IP address into the address bar of the computer’s web browser.

7. The web browser should display the login window for the router. Enter the router’s login and/or

password. The login details may be written on a sticker on the router itself or noted in the manual for the router.

8. Once logged into the router we need to change the router to supply IP addresses in the

192.168.100.xxx range. Use the router’s LAN Setup or Configure LAN option to set the router’s IP address as 192.168.100.1 and click save / apply.

9. Now reboot the router and power ON the HS-1300.

10. Log into the router again using the web browser and the router’s new IP address 192.168.100.1

11. Use the router’s LAN Setup or Configure LAN option again, within this option there should be another

option called Address Reservation or Client List.

12. The two devices connected to the router should be listed here, the computer and the HS-1300.

13. The computer, because it is set for DHCP, will already have an IP address automatically assigned to it in

this list.

14. The HS-1300 will also be listed with its default IP address of 192.168.100.101 if it is not changed.

15. Click save / apply then reboot the router again.

16. Close the web browser and CMD windows.

17. Now install the Switcher Image Import/Export software to the computer.

Setting the Target IP Address with the Switcher Image Import/Export Software

Click Setup button in the MENU SELECT pane and the current IP Network settings are shown alongside the software version.

Page 23

If the network settings are wrong then you may not be able to access the HS-1300. Always keep a note of the last IP settings used and change these settings carefully to avoid problems.

Target IP address – This IP address is the location on the local network, or the internet, where the software can talk to the HS-1300. By clicking the Target IP address you can enter a new address, once entered click Save Setup. The next time the Image Import/Export Software is opened, it will try to contact the switcher on this new Target IP address.

Network – This option in the yellow menu column allows you to change the network options on the HS-

1300. When delivered from the factory the default static IP settings should be:

Addr Mode: Static (a manually set IP address that does not change even after power cycling the HS1300 unit)

Target IP address: 192.168.100.101 Network Mask: 255.255.255.0 Gateway: 192.168.100.1

DHCP Setup - If the IP set up method is changed to DHCP then each time the HS-1300 is started, it may be

given a different IP address by the network. Only use this method if you know how to find the HS-1300 on the internal IP network. A device on the network (usually a router or server) will automatically assign an IP address to the HS-1300.

The HS-1300 HD 6-Channel Portable Video Studio offers the user an OSD menu to perform several image effect configurations, such as Picture-in-Picture, keyers, downstream keys, still pictures and etc. The user can also configure the I/O by selecting the Inputs and Outputs options. In addition, under the setup options, the user is allowed to set the menu color, size, position and language.

The OSD Menu also gives the user the flexibility to switch between basic and advanced modes. The basic mode is generally a condensed version of the advanced menu mode. The following sections will show you the options available in these two modes.

Start

The “Start” option generally allows the user to set the Transition duration, the Transition type, and various

WIPE effect parameters. The OSD menu display is illustrated in the table below.

Advanced Mode

Basic Mode

Transition

The transition option allows the user to set the transition duration, in frames, for switching to the PGM view when using the AUTO, DSK and FTB buttons. The sub-options are (AUTO) Mix Effect (M/E), Downstream Key (DSK) and Fade-To -Black (FTB). If the M/E is set to a value of 50 then the transition will take effect over a period of 50 frames or roughly 2 seconds. When the AUTO button is pressed, the transition will take the current M/E value.

Wipe Effects

This sub-option allows the user to select the desired Wipe Transition Effect and configure the wipe’s border softness and width.

 Wipe – Wipe Effect Selection.  Soft – A low value results in a solid edge border and a high value gives a soft diffused border.  Width – A low value results in a thin border and a high value gives a wide border.

Border

After selecting this sub-option, the user will then be allowed to fine-tune the border color by adjusting the Luma, Saturation and Hue values, i.e. Luma, Sat and Hue.

IP Address

The displayed IP address allows the user to connect to the switcher from a remote location where network connection is available.

Keyer

In this option, the user is able to configure four keyers, which are Key 1, Key 2, DSK 1 and DSK 2. Advanced Mode = Basic Mode

Keyer Control

There are three keying modes available: Linear, Luma, and Chroma. After the keying mode is chosen, if only one source is enabled for the keyer, select the source in Key

Source. If two sources are enabled for the keyer, select the respective sources in Key and Fill Sources. You may also select P-in-P or P-in-P Lite to apply the keying effect to the P-in-P window.

Please note: If Luma is selected, fine tune the Luma Keyer parameters (Lift, Gain and Opac) in the Keyer option.

If Chroma is selected, fine tune the Chroma Keyer parameters in the Chroma option. If P-in-P is selected, fine tune its parameters in the P-in-P option. If P-in-P Lite is selected, fine tune its parameters in the P-in-P Lite option.

For example, if the user selects Key 1  Chroma  P-in-P, you will be performing chromakeying of the Pin-P image after the relevant chroma keyer parameters are adjusted in the Chroma option.

Priority sets the key image to either the top layer or bottom layer and is only available if Key 1 or Key 2 is selected.

The Keyer Control also allows the user to adjust lift, gain and opacity of the key image.

Chapter 5 Video Streaming

The HS-1300 Portable Video Studio includes a built-in Video Streaming Server (NVS-31) allowing the user to stream and record your program at the same time. From any HDMI input source, the Datavideo NVS-31 generates an H.264 encoded stream compliant with RTSP or RTMP protocols. While encoding the video at bit rates appropriate for live streaming, the Datavideo NVS-31 concurrently records a high-quality MP4 file to an SD card.

5.1 Network Connection and Setup

This section details how to connect the NVS-31 to a network with or without a DHCP server, and describes how to acquire the NVS-31 IP address.

Finding the NVS-31’s current IP address

You must first know your NVS-31 device’s IP address to access the Web User Interface. Datavideo provides a free Windows based utility called IP Finder to search for devices connected on the same network.

On the computer connected to the NVS-31, first download the utility from the product page of HS-1300. Once downloaded, locate and double click the icon on the left to open the utility shown in the diagram below.

Please note that in order for your computer to communicate with the NVS-31, your computer’s IP address must be in the same network range as your NVS-31’s IP address. In the above example, change your computer’s IP address and subnet mask to the following:

IP address 192.168.1.X Subnet mask 255.255.0.0

Page 42

There are basically two ways to establish connection between the NVS-31 and your computer:

 Connect an Ethernet cable from the NVS-31’s LAN port directly to your computer’s Ethernet port.  Connect an Ethernet cable from the NVS-31’s LAN port to the same network switch as your

computer.

Note: If the first method is chosen, make sure to manually assign an IP address to your PC before making attempts to connect to the NVS-31.

5.2 Web User Interface

By now, we have obtained the IP addresses of the computer and the NVS-31. Type the NVS-31’s IP address into the address bar of a browser and then hit the ENTER button. Login by entering the user name as well as the password into a pop-up dialogue box as shown below.

User Name: admin Password: 000000

Click OK button to login and you will be directed to the Source Page as shown below.

Sub Encoder

The video source is fixed onto PGM View only. In the Video Source column, you will be allowed to adjust video properties such as Brightness, Contrast, Hue, Saturation and Sharpness. These parameters range from 0 to 255.

The Audio Source column currently indicates that the audio is embedded into HDMI video and is NOT reserved for future development.

The SOURCE information (Channel No., Video Source, Audio Source, Resolution and Frame Rate) will be displayed in a table at the bottom of the page.

Encoder

The NVS-31 provides the user with two encoders so that you can stream and record videos with different encode settings. The Main Encoder and Sub Encoder can be applied to the recorder and the streaming server in four different combinations as shown in the table below:

Clicking the Encoder tab in the left column will open the Encoder Configuration page on the right.

Page 44

The encoder parameters are described below:

 1920 x 1080

 1280 x 720

 960 x 540

 720 x 576

 720 x 480

be required.

Profile sets the H.264 encoding profile for your stream. The available options are Baseline, Main, and High. Typically, High profile provides the best image quality

and is suitable in most instances. However, depending on the decoder used when viewing the stream, such as with mobiles devices, a Main or Baseline profile may

 30

The bitrate of the video specifies the amount of information stored in the video. The higher the bitrate is, the clearer the video is.

The bitrate ranges from 256K to 16M as shown in the table below.

For example, SD video may appear acceptable at 1000 Kbps (1M) but HD video is unacceptable at 1000 Kbps. Recommendations of the video bitrate settings are outlined as follows:

 When NVS-31 is in record-only mode, the recommended video bitrate is 16 Mbps.  When NVS-31 is in stream-only mode, the recommended video bitrate is 10 Mbps.  When NVS-31 streams and records simultaneously, sum of the stream and record video bitrates

should not exceed 12Mbps.

When streaming, the NVS-31 converts video into data, which are sent across an IP network. High bitrates consume more bandwidth across the IP network. In a gigabit office LAN, high bitrate may not be a concern and Speed/Bandwidth is therefore not the limitation in a NVS-31 application environment.

Audio Bitrate (bps)

Select the bit rate at which you want to stream or record the audio.

GOP

GOP pattern with longer GOP length encodes video very efficiently. Shorter GOP lengths usually work better with video that has quick movements, but they do not compress the data rate as much. On the NVS31, there are 16 GOP sizes available for the user, ranging from 1 to 180.

Importing the Clip for Stinger Transition Effect from the PC

On the HS-1300, you will be able to add a clip between sources. Besides using the existing clips on the machine, you are also allowed to import your own clip (a series of bmp/png/jpg/pic files) to the HS-1300 from the PC using the Switcher Image Import/Export utility, which can be downloaded from the HS-1300 product page.

 First connect the HS-1300 to a Windows computer using an RJ-45 Ethernet cable.  Since the HS-1300 has a default IP address of 192.168.100.101 so the computer should be given the

IP settings that match the same IP range as the switcher.

 Turn on the Windows computer and manually set the IP to 192.168.100.X within the Windows

Network and Sharing Centre.

 Now install the Switcher Image Import/Export utility on the computer.  After the utility is installed, click and open the user interface as shown below.

Page 63

Click Setup on the MENU SELECT pane and if the connection between the HS1300 and the PC has been successfully established, you will be able to see the network information of your switcher. Select Import-Export from the yellow menu options.

The clip number allows you to select a location where you can save the clip. To import a clip from the computer into the HS-1300, select Import Clip.

Page 64

Note: The Switcher Image Import/Export utility does the conversion from bmp/png/jpg to the .pic file format. All you need is to give the utility a starting file location and it will give the utility an idea where to start linking all images up into a sequential animation file.

Importing Clips Select “Import Clip” will open a file

browser window. Browse to the directory where your clip files are saved and then select the file at the zeroth location, in our example on the right, the file name is frame-000.png.

Click Open to start the clip import. If your files are not the .pic format, they will be automatically converted to .pic format by the Switcher Image Import/Export utility first.

After the file conversion, the clip import will then start. After the import is complete, the progress dialog will be automatically closed.

Note: Clip Conversion and Clip Import have progress dialogs that show progress & number of frames done. These dialogs also have a cancel button which allows the user to cancel the import at any stage. If the import is cancelled, then the partially imported data will be deleted.

How to Create the PNG Sequence for Stinger Transition Effect

Adobe After Effects is a motion graphics application that can be used for creating the clip file for stinger transition effect. After the clip file is created, there are two ways to convert the file to the PNG sequence format readable by the HS-1300 switcher in Adobe After Effects. In this section, we will show you how you can create the PNG sequence for the Stinger transition effect.

Adobe After Effects

Important things to note while creating Stinger Transition Effects

When using Datavideo’s HS-1300 Multi-Channel Switcher to design and create the Stinger Transition Effects, in addition to being creative, there are a few things that you need to take into account of.

1. Length limit of the stinger transition animation

The length of a good stinger transition animation should be approximately 0.5 to 2 seconds.

2. The HS-1300 allows a maximum of 200 image files in an animation sequence

The number of image files will determine the length of stinger transition time.

3. While designing the animation, it is best to have an image that fills up the entire frame to create a satisfactory visual effect (please see the images below).

Switcher Firmware Update Procedure

From time to time Datavideo may release new firmware to either add new features or to fix reported bugs in the current HS-1300 firmware. Customers can update the firmware themselves if they wish or they can contact their local dealer or reseller for assistance should they prefer this method.

This page describes the firmware update process and it should take approximately few minutes to complete.

A working HS-1300 requires the following:

 The latest firmware update for the HS-1300 (This firmware file can be obtained from your local

Datavideo office or dealer).

 HS-1300 x 1  12V Power adapter x 1  USB thumb drive x 1  USB A connector cable x 1

Once started the update process should not be interrupted in any way as this could result in a non- responsive unit.

1. Locate the FW Upgrade USB port on the front panel of the HS-1300.

2. Insert the USB stick containing the latest firmware to the FW upgrade port.

3. Power on the device and the device should automatically detect the connected USB storage device.

4. Press the “MENU” button on the control panel to open the menu on the monitor screen.

5. Press the “down arrow” button to scroll to the “Setup” Option.

6. Press the “ENTER” button to enter the “Setup” menu.

7. Press the “down arrow” button to scroll to “Software” and then press the “ENTER” button to select

the “Software” option.

8. As soon as “Software” is selected, you will be prompted whether to start the Software Upgrade. Select

YES if you would like to start the software upgrade.

9. Reboot the device after the upgrade process is complete.

Page 80

GPI Connection

The HS-1300 can control external recorder/playback devices via simple contact closure GPI switch. The GPI interface is a 3.5mm Jack Socket which is situated on the rear panel of the HS-1300.

Contact closure between the Outer and Inner contacts on the jack plug will trigger a user selected event. Power is supplied by the HS-1300 and is less than 5V DC.

This GPI socket can also be used as a socket to trigger record or playback events with other equipment such as the Datavideo HDR-70 recorder.

SAFETY FIRST The cabling required needs to be designed specifically to connect the HS-1300 to the chosen record or playback device as they are not all the same. The cabling required can be made by yourself or a competent technician. Please speak with your Dealer or local Datavideo office to get further help and advice.

The HS-1300 has a D-sub 15 pin female tally output port. These connections provide bi-colour tally information to a number of other Datavideo products, such as the ITC-100 eight channel talkback system and the TLM range of LCD Monitors.

The ports are open collector ports and as such do not provide power to tally light circuits.

The pin outputs are defined as follows:

Frequently-Asked Questions

No.

Problems

Solutions

What is the maximum bit rate of the HS-1300?

Depending on the purpose of use, the device’s

maximum bit rate varies:

Record-Only: 16 Mbps Stream-Only: 10 Mbps Stream and Record: sum of the two video bitrates should not exceed 12Mbps

What are the appropriate SD card classes?

Use any of the SD Card Classes C10/U1/V10.

a. Why am I still seeing lag delay in the video recorded on SD Card Class C10?

a. This could be due to unoptimized disk formatting. Format your disk on the NVS-31 or using the tool downloaded from the SD association’s official website (https://www.sdcard.org/cht/downloads/form

atter_4/index.html).

b. In this case, why doesn’t the system issue

any error messages as soon as video recording is started?

b. The system detects and sets the write speed as soon as the video recording is started and insufficient write speed is experienced while the video is being recorded.

Why am I seeing blurry images while the video is being streamed over the RTSP protocol?

1. The maximum streaming resolution offered on the NVS-31 is 1080p60 so try viewing the streamed video on another computer.

2. Change your video source to 1080i (the switcher output) and lower the bitrate.

3. This could be due to insufficient network capacity. Use a Gigabit switch or router.

The recorded video file cannot be played if recording is stopped due to system crash or power failure.

This is the limitation of MP4 files, which cannot be played as long as the recording is stopped incorrectly. It is recommended to use other video formats to record or repair the file using certain software tools.

How to retrieve the device IP if I do not remember the network settings or the network settings are lost?

If you do not remember the IP address assigned to the device, follow the steps below to reset the network settings:

 Turn off the machine.  Press the RECORD and STREAM buttons

simultaneously and switch ON the device.

 Wait for 5 seconds approximately and

release the button push as soon as the two buttons light up.

 The default IP address is 192.168.1.60.

How to remove the clip stored in the CH6 buffer after the Clip transition is disabled?

You should first clear the clip buffer using the Delete Clip option in the User Mems sub menu, and then set CH6 to live or still in the Inputs sub menu.

This section describes problems that you may encounter while using HS-1300. If you have any questions, please refer to related sections and follow all suggested solutions. If problem still exists, please contact your distributor or the service center.
