H.264 Video Streaming in VLC Player – Instructions
1. Power ON the sender HHD264-S, make sure that the PC and the devices are in the same
network subnet. Enter the IP address of the PC such as 192.168.1.100 and subnet mask
255.255.255.0 as below ( IP address can be any unique number (0-255) as long as it is in same
subnet with the device)
2. Connect the sender (only the sender is sufficient for streaming and receiver is not needed.
Decoding is done by the VLC player) and the PC to a gigabit network switch using CAT5e/6 cable.
3. Make use of Hall Research’s HHD264 Web GUI to discover the device’s UDP multicast address
(239.255.42.192). Open the browser and enter the HHD264-S or HHD264-S-PD’s IP address.
Note the multicast IP from the drop down list box. Note that for each sender there will be a
unique multicast address.
