Network setup

By default, QVidium QVENC, QVDEC, and QVPRO systems do not configure a DNS server. Most CDN access uses host names, so you must set the DNS server field on the network LAN interface. For example, you can use 8.8.8.8 as a DNS server.
  1. Point your browser to Network->LAN 1 to set the DNS server.

Install the CDN Software

  1. Click on cdn-23.pkg to download the software.
  2. Point your browser to System->Update to install the software package you just downloaded.

Install a CDN license

  1. Point your browser to License->CDN
  2. Email the CDN License ID to info@qvidium.com
  3. A zip file containing a trial license will be send to you
  4. Save the zip file to your desktop, unzip the license file, and install the license file using the License->CDN web page

Configuring the Encoder

  1. Point your browser to Encoder->Profiles and then click on the New button.
    You should see the following:

  2. Set the Stream Bit Rate field to the appropriate value.
  3. Select the MPEG4 AAC option on the Audio Encoding field.
  4. Select the RTMP option on the IP Transport field.
  5. Enter the RTMP or RTSP URL in the URI field.
  6. Enter the Stream Name in the Stream Name field.

Under the Advanced Encoding page, you can also scale a HD input to SD resolution (or lower) by setting D1 (or lower) as the H264 Video Resolution setting.
