SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Please read all instructions before attempting to unpack, install or operate this equipment and before connecting the power supply. Please keep the following in mind as you unpack and install this equipment: • Always follow basic safety precautions to reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock and injury to persons.
1. INTRODUCTION This unit is an HDMI over IP Transmitter that allows you to extend HDMI signals using the TCP/IP protocol over regular Cat.5e network cable. This extender supports the transmission of High-Definition signals (up to 1080p@60Hz) with audio up to 100m on a single cable. The transmission distance can be further extended (up to 100m per segment) by using Gigabit Ethernet network switches, allowing the user to cascade the system without signal loss or introducing delay.
4. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS • HDMI source equipment such as a media player, video game console, PC or set-top box. • A compatible HDMI over IP Receiver is required. • A Gigabit Ethernet network switch with jumbo frame support is required for multi-endpoint extension. (8K jumbo frames are strongly recommended.) •...
6. OPERATION CONTROLS AND FUNCTIONS 6.1 Front Panel POWER RESET MODE LINK POWER LED: This LED will flash while the unit is powering on and will illuminate solidly once it has finished booting and is ready for use. LINK LED: If the unit has no network connection this LED will not illuminate.
6.2 Rear Panel DC 5V RS-232 HDMI IN DC 5V Port: Plug the 5V DC power adapter into this port and connect it to an AC wall outlet for power. LAN Port: Connect to a Gigabit Ethernet switch for signal extension to compatible Receiver(s), and to allow WebGUI/Telnet control.

6.5 WebGUI Control • Accessing the WebGUI All major functions of the unit, including status, streaming method, streaming channel selection, output resolution, video wall configuration, EDID management, Ethernet settings, and reset/ firmware functions are controllable via multiple tabs in the WebGUI interface allowing for reasonably intuitive operation.
6.5.1 System Tab The System tab contains four windows that provide access to firmware version information, a firmware update interface, utilities for rebooting and resetting the unit, basic EDID management, Telnet command entry, and a variety of statistics and information about the operational state of the unit.
Page 13
• Utilities The Utilities window allows users to reset/reboot the unit, configure the EDID behavior, and send Telnet commands to the unit. 1) Factory Default: Click this button to return the unit to its factory defaults. Note: Networking configuration details will not be reset. 2) Reboot: Click this button to reboot the unit. 3) Reset EDID to Default Value: If the EDID received from the primary Receiver unit (selected via a checkbox on the preferred Receiver in Multicast mode) has compatibility issues with the connected...
Page 14
• Statistics The Statistics window shows all available information about the operational status of the unit, including current Host ID Name, SN, Ethernet information, MAC address, unicast/multicast mode, link status and mode.
6.5.2 Video Wall Tab The Video Wall tab allows the user to design, edit and manipulate a video wall system created using multiple Receiver units connected to identical displays. The bezel and video size of the displays being used, as well as the horizontal and vertical monitor count, is defined here.
Page 16
1) Bezel and Gap Compensation: This section of the Video Wall tab is used to define the physical dimensions of each display being used in the video wall. Accurate measurements are needed of the monitor’s outer frame (OW, OH) and the video screen (VW, VH). The measurements may be made using any unit of measurement (inches, mm, cm, etc.) as long as ALL measurements in the same wall are made using the exact same units and the numbers are...
Page 17
2) Wall Size and Position Layout: This section of the Video Wall tab is used to define the number of displays used in the video wall as well as the location of the specific display within the video wall. A typical video wall consists of an equal number of horizontal and vertical monitors (for example: 2×2 or 3×3), however it is possible to create video walls using this system with a wider variety of...
Page 18
3) Preferences: This section of the Video Wall tab provides additional controls over how the source video is displayed on the video wall as well as providing a drop down to determine which Receiver to apply changed settings to. Note: When setting up a new video wall, or changing the configuration of an existing one, remember to update the configuration of each Receiver in the system.
6.5.3 Network Tab The Network tab provides controls over the Transmitter’s broadcast channel, IP configuration, and network broadcast mode. Changes made to the network settings will require a reboot of the unit. After clicking on “Apply” please follow the reboot instructions in the WebGUI.
Page 20
1) Channel Setup: Use the dropdown to select the broadcast channel for the Transmitter. All Receivers on the local network that are set to the same channel will receive video from this Transmitter. The available channel range is from 0 to 255. Note: Every Transmitter within the same local network must be assigned a different broadcast channel in order to avoid conflicts.
Page 21
3) Casting Mode: Allows for the selection of the broadcasting mode used by the Transmitter. Click the “Apply” button to save changes made to the broadcasting mode. Note: Receivers must be set to the same mode as the Transmitter in order to receive video. ■...
6.5.4 Functions Tab The Functions tab provides control over the Transmitter’s maximum streaming bitrate, maximum frame rate, as well as serial control extension configuration. Changes made to these settings typically require a reboot of the unit. After clicking on “Apply” please follow the reboot instructions in the WebGUI, if necessary.
Page 23
■ Maximum Framerate: Adjusting this slider will set the percentage of frames from the source video to encode (2% – 100%). This is ideal for reducing the bandwidth requirements of sources with high detail, but limited motion, such as power point presentations or information screens.
6.6 Telnet Control Before attempting to use Telnet control, please ensure that both the unit and the PC are connected to the same active networks. To Access the Command Line Interface (CLI) Click Start, type “cmd” in the search field, and Windows 7 press Enter.
