Important Safety Information - Read First Safety Statements Before installing, configuring, or operating any equipment and other, Savant All safety instructions below should be read, understood, and applied under all recommends that each dealer, integrator, installer, etc. access and read all the relevant circumstances when working with this equipment.
Savant IP Video devices to a RacePoint Blueprint™ configuration. The figure below shows the basic application. The audio path can either come from the PAV-VIM8S as shown below, or it can be a separate output (Not HDMI) into an audio switch like the SSA-3220.
Displays that will be used in the system ..................................... 2. Deployment Steps Follow these steps to successfully deploy Savant IP Video devices. This page can be used as a checklist to record which steps have been completed. Review product specifications and connection details ................................
3. IP Video Equipment Overview 3.1. Box Contents and Specifications Refer to the Quick Reference Guide for these products located on the Savant Customer Community for Box Contents and Specifications. 3.2. PAV-VIM8S or PAV-VIM4S Front Panel Reboots the main board (mcu) and power cycles the...
4.3. 10G Ethernet Fiber (SFP+) Enhanced small form-factor pluggable connection. Use a Savant certified Direct Access Copper (DAC) SFP+ cable to connect the chassis to the 10G switch, or Savant certified fiber and fiber connectors along with Savant certified SFP+ modules.
4.7. Network The PAV-VIMxS uses a standard RJ-45 port complying with IEEE 802.3 Ethernet standards. This port is used for communication with the Savant Host. The VOMVP1x uses a shared Ethernet connection from its 10G connection. 4.8. AC Power Connection SURGE PROTECTION! Use a surge-protected circuit for all components and power supplies requiring 100/240V (AC 50/60 Hz) source power.
5.2. Install PAV-VOMVP1x/VIMVP1x The Savant IP Video Receiver or Transmitter can be placed on a solid flat surface or can be mounted on a wall with the included mounting brackets. If installing this unit behind a display, ensure enough air can pass though the grooves on the top of the unit. This will maximize heat dissipation. Savant recommends aligning the grooves vertically as shown below.
NOTE: This will leave an air gap behind the device. Replace the case screws attaching the bracket. If the device is going to be mounted vertically Savant recommends aligning the device with the rear of the device facing down. This will allow the best heat dissipation.
6.4. Adding a 10G Switch to a Configuration This process is to add a NetGear ProSafe M4300 10G network switch to the configuration. See Savant IP Video Network Configuration Guide on the Savant Customer Community for information on how to set up this device before its Video connection are made. In an open Blueprint configuration do the following.
6.7. Expansion The Savant IP Video system has unlimited scalability. The limit is the amount of ports on the 10G switch. For instance, on a 96 port 10G Network switch: 1x95, 2x94, and so on up to 95x1. In addition, add as many receivers required in the installation based on the number of displays.
7. Best Practices Once the system is installed and the configuration has been uploaded to the Host, this section shows some best practices for testing a Savant IP Video system. Initial Audio and Video setup/testing should be done using the default EDID. The default EDID has support for PCM audio up to 8 channels and video resolutions up to 4k 60hz 4:2:0 8-bit.
Appendix C: UPS Recommendations Savant does not recommend any particular brand or model UPS, however there are a couple of factors that should be considered. It is important that the UPS does not only work during complete power loss but protects devices and their functionality during events like surges and brownouts. It is not uncommon for a residence or small business to see variations in power service that do not result in a complete black-out.
