Chapter 6 Video Streaming and Recording
The ShowCast-100 allows the user to stream and record your program at the same time. From any
SDI/HDMI input sources, the built-in video streaming server generates an H.264/265 encoded stream
that is compliant with various protocols such as RTSP or RTMP. While encoding the video at bit rates
appropriate for live streaming, the video streaming server concurrently records a high-quality MP4 file
to an SD card.
Note: The built-in video streaming server will be referred to as NVS-31 MARK IV in this manual.
6.1 Network Connection and Device Search
To use the NVS-31 MARK IV’s web user interface, you will have to first connect the ShowCast-100 to a
network via the STREAM port. This section shows you how to connect to the network with or without
a DHCP server, and describes ways to acquire the NVS-31 MARK IV’s IP address.
Default Fixed IP
When new from the factory, the NVS-31 MARK IV is supplied with a default fixed IP address
(192.168.1.200) which allows you to establish point-to-point connection with your laptop/PC. The
following setup should allow you to log in to the web user interface and initially configure the device’s
various settings.
System Requirements:

An RJ-45 Ethernet cable

Windows 7/8/10 laptop or PC

ShowCast-100

IP Finder utility program (downloaded from the product page to the laptop)
Follow the procedure below to log in to the web user interface:
1.
Physically connect the Windows laptop’s Ethernet port to the STREAM port via an Ethernet cable.
2. Turn on the laptop and set it to static IP setup within the Windows Network and Sharing Centre.
In our example, the computer is given the following IP settings so that the computer matches the
same IP range as the switcher.
