Instead of using a HDMI-IP-R as the decoder of the the H.264 stream, software such as VLC can be used to decode the source and view it. Apantac does not gurantee the performances the above mentioned software. Please see Appendix A for examples on how to use VLC to the best of our knowledge.
There are built-in OSDs in the HDMI-IP-R’s HDMI output that provides various important information for the setup. The default IP addresses for both the HDMI-IP-E (Tx) and HDMI-IP-R(Rx), can be obtained from the OSD by simply plugging the HDMI-IP(Rx) HDMI output to the monitor.
Page 16
In order to get the default IP address of the HDMI-IP-R(Rx), the network (LINK) must be connected either directly to a HDMI-IP-E or a network switch. As you can see the IP address for the HDMI-IP-R (Rx) is now part of the OSD.
