The default password for the Administrator login is admin . Note that these passwords are case-sensitive . 7. Click the Login button. 8. The Network tab will appear , just to the righ[...]

page | 18 Web Interface Viewing System Settings The Login screen displays the current version of rmware, network mode, and IP addresses. 1. Access the Web interface for the Sender or Receiver unit. The password must be set for each Sender and Receiver unit. 2. The Login tab will be highlighted. 3. Locate the Firmware version and System settings [...]

page | 19 Web Interface Setting the Password Both the User and Administrator passwords can be changed. Each Sender and Receiver unit can have a different password, if desired. T o prevent unauthorized tampering of conguration settings, it is highly recommended that the Administrator password be changed as soon as each unit is congured. Passwo[...]

Setting the Video Channel In order for Sender and Receiver units to communicate with one another , they must both be set to the same video channel. This is similar to changing the channel on a cable or satellite box in order to view a different program. By default, all Sender and Receiver units are set to channel 0. 1. Access the Web interface by e[...]

6. The following message will be displayed, at the top of the page, indicating that the casting mode has been applied to the Sender or Receiver unit. 7. Repeat steps 1 - 5 for each Sender and Receiver to be changed. For example, in Figure 2.1, let’s say we are currently connected to the W eb interface of Receiver unit R1. The numbers in blue repr[...]

Setting the IP Mode The HD over IP w/ RS-232 and 2-way IR can be set to Auto IP , DHCP , or Static IP mode. By default, Sender and Receiver units are shipped in Auto IP mode. Auto IP mode is used to directly connect a Sender and Receiver unit. In order to use the Sender and Receiver units in a LAN environment, they must be set to either DHCP or Sta[...]

page | 24 Web Interface Setting the IP Address The HD over IP w/ RS-232 and 2-way IR can be set to Auto IP , DHCP , or Static IP mode. By default, the Sender and Receiver units are shipped in Auto IP mode. In order to use a specic IP address, the desired Sender and/or Receiver units must be placed in Static IP mode. See Setting the IP Mode (page[...]

page | 25 Web Interface Enabling or Disabling Video over IP This feature is useful for masking video. Disabling the video on the Sender unit will mask the video on all connected Receiver units ( multicast mode only). T o mask the video on selected Receiver units, disable the video on the desired Receiver units. By default, the Video over IP option [...]

page | 26 Web Interface Enabling or Disabling HDCP As a rule, an HDCP-compliant display must be used when displaying HDCP content from a source device (e.g. Blu-ray). However , there may be instances where we simply want to view the desktop of a computer . Normally , this isn’t a problem. Y et, some computers will always transmit HDCP even though[...]

page | 27 Web Interface Picture Quality Mode The HD over IP w/ RS-232 and 2-way IR provides two video modes: V ideo Mode and Graphic Mode. If the input signal is motion video, then use the Video Mode setting. This will optimize the frame rate. If the input signal is a static image, then use the Graphic Mode setting. 1. Access the Web interface for [...]

page | 28 The HD over IP w/ RS-232 and 2-way IR features EDID Management. Before the source can send video (and/or audio) data, the source device (connected to each Sender unit) reads the EDID (Extended Display Identication Data) from the displays which are connected to each Receiver unit. The EDID contains information about what type of audio/v[...]

page | 29 EDID Management Using the Downstream EDID By default, the (downstream) EDID from the display , connected to the Receiver unit, is used. If the internal EDID is being used (see previous page), then use the following procedure to use the downstream EDID. 1. Access the Web interface for the Receiver unit. 2. Login as Administrator . 3. Click[...]

page | 30 Configuring Unicast Mode The term unicast is used to describe a conguration where information is sent from one point to another point. It is possible to have multiple Sender and Receiver units connected in a system. However , in unicast mode a Sender unit can communicate with only one Receiver unit at a time. In unicast mode, the HD ov[...]

page | 32 Unicast and Multicast Modes Switching between Sender units in Unicast mode When multiple Sender and Receiver unit are used in unicast mode, the HD over IP w/ RS-232 and 2-way IR behaves as a switcher . In unicast mode, a Sender unit can communicate with only one Receiver unit at a time. In the example below , we will switch Receiver unit [...]

page | 33 Unicast and Multicast Modes Figure 2.6 - Unicast mode: Sender unit S1 transmitting to Receiver unit R1 Note that each of the Sender units in Figure 2.6 is assigned a unique channel number . However , if we were to change the video channel on Sender unit S2 to channel 5, this would violate the unicast mode rule: A Sender unit can communica[...]

page | 34 Unicast and Multicast Modes In order to solve the problem, in Figure 2.7, we would need to make sure that each of the Sender units is set to a unique channel number . When using unicast mode, each of the Sender units must be assigned a unique channel and should never be changed. Use the Receiver unit to switch (channels) between Sender un[...]

page | 35 Unicast and Multicast Modes Configuring Multicast Mode The term multicast is used to describe a conguration where information is sent from one or more points to a set of other points. For example, a single Sender unit can transmit data to multiple Receiver units. In addition, if multiple Sender units are used, each Sender unit can tran[...]

page | 37 The HD over IP w/ RS-232 and 2-way IR supports RS-232 pass-through, allowing the control of remote RS-232 devices. The Sender and Receiver unit which are being used to pass-through the RS-232 data must be set to the same baud rate as the RS-232 host and client. In the example below , a display is connected to Receiver unit R1. This is the[...]
