  • Page 3: Introduction

    Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) switches (Jumbo Frames enabled). Using an existing CAT 5/6 infrastructure, users can connect CAT 5/6 to any MV4 IP Multiviewer anywhere on the same GbE network. The MV4 decoders take the IP packets received over CAT 5/6 cables, same as other Visionary Packet AV decoders, and sends them to the MV4 encoder to be converted into a packetized network stream that is received by a Packet AV decoder.

  • Page 4: Network Av Infrastructure Prerequisites

    The MV4 will work with most non-blocking, IGMP with IGMP Snooping, 8K or better Jumbo Packet 1GbE network switches. At least one layer-3 switch with IGMP-query capability is required. For PIM (multicast routing) of MV4 video streams, the network switches would need to be capable of PIM (Sparse, Dense, or Sparse-Dense).

  • Page 5: Switch Guidlines

    1. Enable IGMP querying and snooping (set IGMP Version to IGMP V2 if the switch is capable). To enable the transmission of a source to multiple destinations, MV4 devices make use of multicast. The default behavior of a layer-2 switch is to broadcast those packets, which means that every packet will be transmitted to all possible destinations.

  • Page 6: Implementation Considerations

    ONSIDERATIONS MV4 devices can be installed on a physically separate network or converged onto an existing GbE network. When implementing, it is important to decide at the earliest stages of planning if the system will be integrated into the rest of the network or if it will reside on a dedicated AV network.

  • Page 7: Netwrok Discovery

    ISCOVERY Discover your MV4 IP Multiviewer on the network. By default, the encoders and decoders are shipped from the factory in DHCP mode with Auto IP Failover. In DHCP mode, each encoder and decoder unit are automatically assigned a unique IP address by the DHCP server.
  • Page 8 IP addresses. On a Windows OS, the ping command only displays the first responding address. 5. Use nmap to scan for Visionary Solutions MAC Addresses. 6. For decoders only: Connect to the network via HDMI to a display. The IP address displays on the bottom right of the Boot up screen image on the display device when there is no source connected.

  • Page 9: Configuration

    Configuration ONFIGURATION MV4 E IP A ONFIGURING NCODER AND ECODER DDRESSES As previously mentioned, by default, the encoders and decoders are shipped from the factory in DHCP mode with Auto IP Failover. For a permanent installation, and to ensure system consistency, it is recommended to configure all of the encoders and decoders with static IP addresses.

  • Page 10: Configuring Stream Settings (Manually)

    Note: Visionary’s MV4E encoder defaults to a multicast stream based on their serial numbers. We recommend that you leave this as the stream address unless the range (225.168.0.0– 225.169.255.255) conflicts with other multicast streams on your network. If for assistance.
