3.0 Installation
For installations having multiple Senders and Receivers, a dedicated Gigabit
(1000 BaseT) network with PoE and IGMPV2 Support is required. The H.264
encoding scheme allows user-definable bit rates to give users control over
bandwidth used for each video stream. Use CAT5e/6 cables to extend up to
394 ft (120 meters).
3.1 Configuration
FHD264 system supports multiple configurations: point-to-point (one Sender
connected to one Receiver without network switch), point-to-many (one
Sender to many Receivers like a video splitter), and many-to-many (matrix
operation). Typically, both point-to-many and many-to-many configuration
requires a network switch.
3.1.1 Point-to-Point
Point-to-Point is the straightforward configuration of FHD system without
involving a network switch. An external power supply is required to supply
power to both Sender and Receiver. The only requirement is that the TX and
RX should have unique IP address (Static) and need to be in the same group.
Figure 2 - Example: Point-to-Point
3.1.2 Point-to-Many (Splitter) and Many-to-Many (Matrix)
Start by setting a unique IP address (if not using DHCP) and Multicast Group
channel for each of the Senders (see the front panel operation in
Section
4.2.) Duplicate IP addresses and Multiple Senders on the same Group will
cause conflicts. Receivers must also have unique IP addresses, but can point
to the same Group channel.
Receivers with the same group number as a Sender will show the video from
that Sender, and RS-232 and IR are routed between them. To use a broadcast
TV analogy, Multicast Group numbers are like TV channel numbers. Only one
station can broadcast on a given channel, but many Receivers can be tuned
to that same channel.
