RESET Button power cycles the VIP-1 if pressed and released. IR-OUT Infrared output connects to a standard IR emitter. Used to forward infrared commands over IP from an RTI control system to a device (eg., TV, Blu-ray). RS232 Serial output connects to a single RS232 controlled device with a standard 3.5mm cable (Tip=Rx In, Ring=Tx Out, Sleeve=GND). -

RTI | Miravue VIP-1 Manual Connects to the included 5VDC/2.4 Amp power supply. NOTE: Power may also be supplied to the VIP-1 via the Ethernet - PoE port. This port may be used to pass signals through to another device (e.g., a display). NOTE: This is for low bandwidth applications where control signals are passed through. -
Page 17: Distributed Vs. Centralized Design
RTI | Miravue VIP-1 Manual 8) Distributed vs. Centralized Design In this Distributed Design, a video source and display are connected to a VIP-1 transceiver, and each transceiver is connected to a network switch. One of the benefits of this non-traditional approach is that it requires fewer transceivers compared to a centralized (rack-based) model. - Page 18 RTI | Miravue VIP-1 Manual In this Centralized Design, the video sources are in a rack, each connected to a VIP-1 transceiver. In this configuration, each TV is also connected to a VIP-1. Therefore, this traditional “rack-based” approach requires more transceivers compared to a fully distributed model because each source and each TV use a VIP-1.

Page 19: Unicast Vs. Multicast
RTI | Miravue VIP-1 Manual 9) Unicast vs. Multicast Unicast Mode the network contains a copy of each video stream being viewed on a display (e.g., displays do not share source video streams). If a source is not being viewed, there is no stream on the network for that source. - Page 20 RTI | Miravue VIP-1 Manual Multicast Mode the network contains one copy of each video source stream and shares it with every device on the network (whether being viewed or not). Multicast mode is useful for networks with a smaller number of sources to TVs.

Page 21: Frequently Asked Question
• Automatically provides stereo downmix with lipsync adjust for distributed audio systems How do I become an RTI | Miravue Authorized Dealer? If you are a qualified integrator/dealer (or distributor), the first step is to visit the RTI – Become a Dealer webpage for information. - Page 22 RTI | Miravue VIP-1 Manual What’s the Difference Between Distributed and Centralized Video Sources? In a distributed source model, both a video source and a video display are connected to each VIP-1 transceiver. The advantage of this approach is that it requires fewer VIP-1 transceivers than a centralized model. In a centralized source model, the video sources are racked, and the video displays are distributed.
- Page 23 The settings that may be adjusted via the web interface are dependent on whether the VIP-1 will be used with an RTI control system or not. IMPORTANT NOTE: If an RTI control system is used, the VIP-1 settings are configured via the two-way driver in the Integration Designer programming software and will overwrite settings made via the web interface.
- Page 24 What about 720p or stereo only Displays? The RTI | Miravue VIP-1 transceiver encodes H.264 up to its highest supported resolution and audio (i.e., 1080p and Dolby 5.1). If the end display cannot support the video resolution or audio format, the stream is downscaled or downmixed accordingly.
- Page 25 How is the VIP-1 Controlled? The VIP-1 can be controlled can be via the RTI control system (via IP, using two-way driver), via on-screen source select (using CEC) or via infrared. If IR is used for control, the built-in infrared receiver on the unit or an infrared receiver may be plugged into the IR-IN input.
