Page 9: Introduction
Introduction Figure 1-1 Ultra Decoder Overview The Vislink UltraDecoder is the lightest new 1RU, half-rack width HEVC & 4K UHD capable decoder in the world. The system uses the latest advanced HEVC decoding techniques to offer up to 50% bit-rate reduction compared to H.264.

We recommend you use option 1. above for the initial port addresses configuration. If the unit is to be connected to an external network, with more than one UltraDecoder unit present, then the default IP addresses of the ports must be changed before connecting to the external network in order to prevent IP Address clashes.
Page 13: Quick Start Guide
CAUTION: Make sure you connect the Ethernet ports to your network before reapplying power to avoid the control and decoder subsystems loosing communication. Access the Web Interface using the same IP address as the Ethernet Control port. Issue: 4 Ref: ULTD-ASUM-7001 Copyright © 2016 Vislink plc...
