1. PRODUCT INTRODUCTION
1.1 Product Brief
The GSM 400S has four SDI inputs while the GSM 400H has 4 HDMI inputs. Both models have an HDMI output The 400S model also has an SDI output while the 400H model has two HDMI outputs. There are also 4 x 3.5mm analog audio inputs for audio embedding and a 3.5mm analog audio output for audio de-embedding.
The front panel has PGM / feature buttons for users to control it locally. The USB3.0 interface allows the user to record in various formats. There are also record / snapshot / stream / connectivity buttons on the front panel.
The GSM 400 has one RJ45 for network connectivity. It also has an RS232 and 2 USB2.0 ports for users to connect with industrial / commercial controlling systems. The user can connect a USB keyboard and mouse to access the GSM 400 internal control interface.

3. IP Finder
When the encoder is in DHCP mode you can use the IP finder to get the IP address. If you have multiple GSM 400s you can locate the one you want by the MAC address.
Don’t change the parameters on the right side. Just start the application and click the Search
button.
4. WEB UI
The Web UI is the interface for the user to control the GSM 400, users can control them via
normal PC or portable devices (EX: Android, iPhone, iPad…etc.)
Username: admin Password: 0000 (Four zeros) Default IP address: 192.168.1.23 Net Mask 255.255.255.0

pg. 9
The user can change the video and audio sources here.
4.2.1. Video Source (Streaming)
The video source can be certain IP streams; HLS and RTSP are supported. Please check on other protocols. If the source is the encoder itself then for RTSP the format is;
rtsp://(Account):(Password)@(GSM 400 IP address):(RTSP port)/(Session name)
The example shown here is for an HLS stream In this case it is;
http://96.68.145.220/HLS/encoder1.m3u8.
This is one of our test streams, if you wish to test
this then contact us as we don’t keep it running all
the time.
