JTECH-ENCH4

I am running 4 Amazon FireTV sticks. They are each connected to a Goronya HDMI 4X1 Quad Multi-Viewer and decoded by the J-Tech Digital H.264 Encoder that puts the streams on the network. A SiliconDust HDHomerun duo provides OTA TV through the FireTV app. I use VLC as my video streaming software. It allows watching 4 streams simultaneously anywhere on the network on any (and multiple) devices simultaneously. It also lets me cast the same streams to monitors that are not connected to a PC or other device. The FireTV sticks are remote controlled from anywhere on the network with the Fire TV android app. the FireTV remotes (four of them) aren't used at all. When running 4 HD programs at the same time our Internet load varies from 30-60mb on our 100mb Internet service. The J-Tech Digital Encoder handles all this tomfoolery without complaint with very high quality video and sound. It is a really awesome device. Highly recommended!!

Does exactly what you need to broadcast on Facebook. Easy to configure once you know how! Only disadvantage is that you audio source MUST come through your HDMI source. This was a problem for us because of our camera. I'd recommend this to anyone that wants to use just a camera with its built-in audio.

Does exactly what I expected it to do and does it quite well so far. Very easy to set up and configure. I just wish it would come with DHCP enabled by default (would have given 5 stars). That would make the setup a bit less complicated, especially for those of us that have large internal private networks. I was lucky as the default IP was available on my network so setup was not as complicated as it could have been.

The system works well to encode HDMI video output from a CCTV security system. On the J-Tech, I used ONVIF without a password to make the ONVIF stream work, and in ring, entering a dummy username/password was the trick. I like the system has the latest firmware, and the video output is good quality. Install Tips: the unit comes with a static IP of 192.168.1.168, so you'll need to set up the device you're connecting to the J-Tech with a static IP of 192.168.1.X. It would have been a whole lot easier if DHCP was used, then at least the user could find the J-Tech in their router.

I am not happy, after one day the encoder was broken during an internal power defect. So I returned it.

Out of the box, it was fairly easy to get on my network and change encoder settings which were all straightforward. But when it came time to send the feed out to a streaming service, things got complicated. You should have some basic IT knowledge using this device. The stream itself looks fantastic! But setting up the routers and subnet masks and IP addresses to all communicate together was a daunting task. After a one-hour phone call with Sal over at j tech support we were able to get it up and running no problem. I can't thank the support team over there enough. They were extremely helpful and patient. And there was no wait to speak to a real person. I can't comment on longevity as I just started using the device. But if customer service is any indication a product worth, I should be good for some time.

good

Bought this to stream some video to HLS receivers on Samsung pro displays for the price it works fantastic. No complaints.
