Page 5: Introduction
USB 2.0, Keyboard, Mouse, IR, RS-232, and Analog Audio over Gigabit Ethernet Network. Encoder in the Sender (VERSA-4K-S) uses visually lossless compression, which gives pixel perfect quality at the remote end. Receiver's inbuilt scaler not only supports Video Wall up to 16x16, but can also change the Orientation of the Image. VERSA-4K is one stop scalable solution for your future AV needs, with 10,000 unique channels, which not only extends video but also extends USB 2.0 devices.

5.4 PC-GUI PC-GUI is used to configure all the advanced settings, such as Filtering, OSD, EDID Management, SOIP, and Bezel and Gap Compensation. With advanced device finder, PC-GUI gives an advanced top-level management interface to control all the Senders and Receivers on the network. PC-GUI can provide Video Preview, USB Device View, Matrix View etc.
Page 13: Working
6.0 Working 6.1 Architecture VERSA-4K uses Client-Server architecture, where each function such as Video, Audio, USB, IR, and RS-232 is considered as a service. VERSA-4K-S (Sender) acts as a server, and provides services independently under one Group ID. Each VERSA-4K-R...
Page 14: General Settings
6.2 General Settings Device Name User can assign custom Device Name to VERSA, which can be used to identify its Location or Purpose. Device Names are useful for Logical representation of the system in big installations. Device Names are not linked to IP address, these are only used as identifiers for the User.
Page 15: Video Over Ip
Note: Audio only works when there is an active Video Group. 6.5 Video Over IP VERSA-4K-S uses visually lossless compression to encode 4K Video. Along with bit rate and Frame rate adjustments, Sender provides Various Quality modes and Bit Rate adjustments to minimize the network bandwidth.
Page 16: Video Scaler
In multicast mode, a receiver in the group can send an EDID Update Request to replace Custom EIDD with its attached Sink EDID. A Receiver automatically sends an Update Request when Display is detected, if "Use this EDID" option is enabled. When multiple receivers send an EDID update request, the last received EDID will be used.
Page 17 Fig 12. Video Wall Layout For example, to build a 2x2 (two by two) Video Wall, which has 2 rows and 2 columns. The Horizontal Monitor Count [X] = 2, and Vertical monitor Count [Y] =2 A total of 4 Receivers are required to build this wall and they can be positioned at: (0,0) , (0,1) , (1,0), and (1,1) Each Receiver includes a Video Wall Preview in its WEB-GUI, which helps to visualize the wall.

Page 19: Osd
6.8 OSD VERSA-4K-R has built-in Hardware On Screen Display (OSD) Controller, which supports Alpha Blending and transparent settings. A Receiver can display an Image and Multi color text at any position on the screen. Use PC GUI to upload images and display text as OSD.
Page 20: Audio Modes
While using Independent Routing, receiver must be a part of a working video group to output the audio. Bidirectional Audio Pass-through is only supported in Unicast Mode and when LINE IN is selected. Fig 16. Audio Modes Audio Modes Input Mode Auto Auto Selects LINE IN when Video Input is (Sender only)
Page 21: Usb Over Ip
Fig 17. Keyboard and Mouse Over IP 6.11 USB Over IP The principle of USB Over IP (USBoIP) in VERSA is rather simple. A Receiver has a built-in USB2.0 HUB, which acts a USB2.0 host controller to all the USB devices connected to it locally.
