HDMI Over IP Network Configuration

The ELAN Video Over IP system distributes HDMI video over layer 3 managed network hardware. It is advised that ELAN Video Over IP
products are connected on an independent network switch to prevent interference or drop in signal performance due to other network
products.
ELAN's Video Over IP products are compatible with various brands of networking hardware. ELAN only supports 3rd party networking
equipment that has been tested and verified to work. Please see the ELAN Video Over IP Integration Notes for information on
supported 3rd party networking equipment.
Supported 3rd party Ethernet hardware supports the following features:
Video Over IP
Video Over IP (one-to-many or many-to-many distribution) is group communication where information is addressed to a group of
network devices simultaneously (ELAN EL-4KPM-VIP-RX Receivers).
Instant Leave/Fast Leave/Immediate Leave
This feature is a feature associated with Video Over IP and means that as soon as an active connection is no longer required (the link
between Transmitter and Receiver) the Video Over IP group and flow of track is stopped instantly. This prevents unnecessary flow of
network traffic on the network switch.
IGMP Snooping
IGMP snooping is the process of listening to Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) network traffic. The feature allows a network
switch to listen in on the IGMP conversation between hosts and routers (Transmitters and Receivers). By listening to this flow of traffic
the switch maintains a map of which links need which IP Video Over IP streams. Video Over IPs may be filtered from the links which do
not need them and thus controls which ports receive specific Video Over IP traffic.
Jumbo Frames/Jumbo Packets/MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit)
Jumbo frames are Ethernet frames with more than 1500 bytes of payload. Conventionally, jumbo frames can carry up to 9000 bytes of
payload, but variations exist and some care must be taken using the term. Many Gigabit Ethernet switches can support jumbo frames.
Please Note:
ELAN have worked with many network switch providers to create setup guides and saved configuration files to help configure the
products to work with the Video Over IP hardware. These configuration files can be downloaded from the ELAN website.
