Niagara 9100  
Quick Start Guide  
Congratulations on the purchase of your new Niagara 9100 system.  
Figure 1. Niagara 9100 Back Panel  
The following steps in this Quick Start Guide will help you set up and  
configure your new streaming media system, so you can begin stream-  
ing or capturing video as quickly as possible. The Niagara web interface  
allows quick and easy access to its operaꢀonal features. You must modify  
any advanced setup opꢀons of the encoders through this interface before  
running an encoder session.  
6) The first ꢀme you start the Niagara 9100 and log in, the system  
3. Connect to an IP Network  
prompts you for the date, ꢀme, and video standard. You may  
accept the default date, ꢀme, and video standard or select  
your own opꢀons, then click Submit.  
RJ-45 Ethernet connector (D on Figure 1)  
The Niagara 9100 provides two network  
connecꢀons. Use either the primary  
or secondary jack (or both) to connect to your  
IP network.  
Complete the following steps to begin operaꢀng the Niagara 9100.  
NOTE: Contact your network administrator for assistance  
if you are unfamiliar with network seꢀngs.  
1. Connect to an electrical power source  
AC power connector for 120-240 volts,  
AC, 50-60 Hz (A on Figure 1)  
Plug the power cable included with your system  
into this connector and plug the opposite end  
into an AC power source.  
The network seꢁngs default to dynamically obtain an IP address from a DHCP  
server on the network. For most network environments, you do not need to  
modify these default seꢁngs. If the system does not find a DHCP server or it  
remains unavailable on the network, it assigns its own IP address.  
Once connected to a network, you should be able to access the built-in web  
server by browsing to the unique machine name (the serial number located on  
the boꢂom of the appliance). You may also set the IP address through the web  
interface.  
7) The Admin Log In window may reappear once you submit the  
date, ꢀme, and video standard fields. You must enter User Name  
and Password again.  
2. Connect Video and Audio Sources  
8) This ꢀme when you enter your valid user name and password,  
Video and audio inputs will vary between Niagara 9100 models.  
The inputs may be combinaꢀons of the following connecꢀons (E on  
Figure 1).  
the system displays the Welcome window and menu bar.  
If you do not have a DHCP network or you cannot connect to the appliance  
through its DNS name, then you can connect a monitor to the VGA port (C on  
Figure 1), and a mouse and keyboard directly to the USB ports (B on Figure 1).  
The appliance has a Microsoſt Windows 7 desktop.  
Analog Video  
4. First Start Setup  
Composite BNC Input  
A BNC-to-RCA adapter connects a com-  
posite RCA video source to the BNC  
connector.  
The first ꢀme you power on the appliance, the system takes a few moments to  
boot up.  
1) Check to ensure that you connect all devices (power cords, video and  
audio sources, etc.) to the Niagara 9100.  
2) Remove the front panel from the Niagara 9100: Press in the release buꢂon  
(J on Figure 2) and gently pull the panel toward you.  
9) To create an encoder profile, from the menu bar click  
Encoders > All Encoders. This example demonstrates how to create  
a Microsoſt Windows Media encoder.  
Digital Video  
SDI Video Input  
The high-definiꢀon and standard-  
definiꢀon serial digital interface (SDI)  
is a professional video input that may  
include embedded audio. SDI uses a  
COAX cable with a BNC connector.  
3) Press Power (P on Figure 2) to start the Niagara 9100.  
4) From a separate computer on the same network as the Niagara  
system, launch a web browser such as Internet Explorer and  
enter the serial number or IP address of your system in the  
address bar. The serial number is located on the boꢂom  
or the side of the system in the format fexxxxxxxx.  
5) Click in the User Name field and enter admin as the user name.  
Then click in the Password field and enter admin as the  
password. Finally, click Log In or press Enter.

These connecꢀons are provided on a  
Left  
breakout cable. These RCA connectors  
provide leſt and right stereo inputs.  
You will find RCA connectors (standard  
consumer stereo audio connecꢀons) on  
most video players and video cameras.
