
Before daisy chaining your decoders, make sure each decoder is powered.
This enables the decoder's internal network loop, allowing the DHCP server
to allocate an IP address to the daisy-chained decoders.

Audio distortion may occur if the analog audio input voltage level is too high.
If this occurs, we recommend reducing the analog input signal voltage level
from the host system (turn down the input volume).

HDCP (High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection) is not supported.
Depending on the source system, the local output of the Maevex 5150 encoder
may result in a blank screen (black) while using the confidence preview
output method, or an intended distorted display (blank screen or snowy
display) while using the pass through output method.
 You can't stream and record at the same time (encoder).

If failsafe is enabled (decoder), the feature overrides source-to-destination on
signal DPMS remoting.

Certain non-Matrox graphics cards may not properly support certain
resolutions. For example, they don't output full-screen images in a
1920 × 1080 resolution (you can replicate this connecting your display
directly to your graphics card). For information on the capabilities of your
graphics card, contact your graphics hardware manufacturer.

Your Maevex devices can only be detected on a DHCP network. To locate a
Maevex device outside the DHCP subnet, first detect the Maevex device on
the subnet, then set the Maevex device to a fixed IP address known to be
available on the LAN outside the subnet. Remove the Maevex device from the
subnet and place it in the intended location on the LAN.

Multicast streaming requires networking hardware that supports multicast and
is properly configured for IPv4 multicasting. Otherwise, only unicast
streaming will be supported.
 Switching between dynamic and static IP addresses isn't supported while
encoding or decoding. Before you change the IP address, make sure you stop
encoding or decoding.
 If you're using PowerStream Plus software to set a static IP address, make
sure the IP address you want to set isn't already allocated to another device on
the network.

When switching between the
output methods on the encoder, the source system's HDMI
be disabled. To re-enable the HDMI digital audio, disconnect and reconnect
the HDMI input cable on the Maevex encoder.
