Thank you for buying an EdgeVis encoder.

This quick start guide provides an overview of the EdgeVis architecture and the step-by-step instructions to installing and operating your new device.

To operate this encoder you will need to set up, or have access to, the following architecture.

EdgeVis Encoder EdgeVis Server EdgeVis Client

Follow these three steps to get started. If you already have access to an EdgeVis Server, and have the appropriate server address and account details, you can skip to Step 2!

For help with Step 1 consult the EdgeVis Server Quick Start Guide, for Step 2 consult the EdgeVis Hardware Installation Guide for your encoder, and Step 3 the EdgeVis Client User Guide.
