ATEM and the camera and a VPN can be used to channel the network through. In such a scenario, the ETH-SDI Link would establish a network connection to the ATEM and use it to extract the data otherwise embedded on SDI out of the switcher and embed it “locally”. Requires low latency network.
Method 1 Set the IP address on the web interface of the ETH-SDI Link. In order to access the web interface press and hold the “config” button on the device, about 10 seconds. The status LED will blink red once and the serial monitor will report “Config mode”.

SKAARHOJ Eth-SDI Link Controller does not show up under Port in Firmware Application If the controller doesn’t show up under ports, try these things first: • Make sure you have attached your controller with a micro USB cable to your computer. Check the micro USB is fully inserted into the USB plug on the controller •...
Try power cycling the Eth-SDI Link. It can connect better when powered after the other Skaarhoj controller. Check the IP Settings Make sure the IP for the Device Core in the connected SKAARHOJ controller is set to the same IP address as the Eth-SDI Link.
SKAARHOJ Eth-SDI Link Power over Ethernet (PoE) Specifications We use the PoE industry standard 48V IEEE 802.3af. If you want to power our controllers using PoE it is important your switch supports this standard. Please notice some manufactures such as Ubiquity have their own non-standard 24V type of PoE which is incompatible with our controllers.
