1.0 Introduction 1.1 General The HHD264 is a family of HDMI over LAN Senders (encoders) and Receivers (decoders) that utilize the latest H.264 encoding with user definable bit-rates to distribute multiple Full HD video signals on the local area network (LAN) with unparalleled clarity and performance.
The HHD264 system applications include digital signage, meeting rooms, classrooms, bus & metro stations, airports, home theater, and more. • Supports SD, HD and Full-HD (1080p@60 Hz) resolutions 1.2 Features...
HHD264 3.0 Installation 3.1 Configuration When connecting point-to-point, there is no need for any IP configuration for Point-to-point the TX and RX. The only requirement is that the TX and RX need to be in the same group by having the DIP-switch positions same on both devices.
• Connect all the Receivers and the switch/ router with Cat5e/6 cables. Dynamic Virtual Matrix™ • Connect the HDMI displays to the Receiver outputs. • If using IR, connect the IR emitter cable into “IR OUT” port of the Senders; and connect the IR detector cable into “IR IN”...

If you will be using the Hall Research DVM Manager Tool to control video HHD264 routing for your application, then there is no need to change the IP settings to Static. This is because even if the IP address inadvertently changes (since it is DHCP), the Manager Software does not care since it uses Multicast Group numbers and user specified names for each end-point.
Step 2: Use an Ethernet Cable to connect the PC (or laptop) and the extender. Dynamic Virtual Matrix™ Make sure that the power LED (Red) for the extender and the network link status LED (Green) is blinking. Step 3: Open a browser and enter the default IP address of 192.168.1.xx (xx=11 for TX or 12 for RX).

9.0 Encoder and Scaler Settings The HHD264 has internal scaling capabilities. The user can control the bit rate and the scaling feature depending on the network bandwidth. The user can change the settings in three ways – WEBGUI, Telnet and PC GUI. Please consider the following if you decide to change settings from default: •...
Dynamic Virtual Matrix™ 9.1 Encoder and Scaler Settings - WebGUI and PC GUI If you are using a source with 1080p resolution, then use “Scale Full HD to :” option to either transmit the video at the same resolution on the network, or to first downscale the video from Full HD to HD (or SD) and then transmit the lower resolution image on the network.
HHD264 10.0 Telnet Commands – Transmitter and Receiver HHD264 offers excellent control features where the user can obtain information from each unit such as Group ID, Name, IP configuration, etc. from a remote location. • Telnet operation via specified port 9999 can be achieved by connecting the sender and receiver in a dedicated telnet session.
