Mini hdmi encoder-1080P 30FPS Support SRT,RTMP,RTSP,RTMPS,UDP,HTTP,HLS，Live Stream Broadcast for YouTube, Facebook RTMPS, Wowza, Twitch, etc. Video Encoder for Live Streaming

Manufacturer is very prompt and helpful in answering technical questions.

Bought this for device that has hdmi output but no rtsp streaming capability. Now can access the output of this device to all my Smart Tvs all around my house, using for example, VLC (no need to specify port 554). Easy to set up but make sure to access the setup page with http and not https, so port 80 instead of port 443. Easily watch the output on your rtsp viewer. The ability to use either the hdmi audio or through the audio input is a nice feature. I monitor this device temperature through the status page (eg. CPU Junction Temperature:60°C). This doesn't vary much.

Very difficult to read and use documentation for this encoder. I think I was supposed to be able to set it up through my computer, and finally did and could view, but had to use 2 laptops. One to set up, one to view. Seemed beyond my capability, but, for a more knowledgeable user or pod caster, could be a 5-star item.

The documentation for this encoder could definitely be better written. I also wasn't ever able to get the in-browser preview working correctly. I did eventually get it to do what I needed, though, which was to provide a video stream that I could use directly in a browser, and with fairly minimal lag, for a robotics project.
