There are two methods for adding new Transmitter and Receiver devices to a system:
Method 1: connect ALL Transmitter and Receiver units to the network switch. This method will quickly configure all
devices with their own individual IP addresses based on the following:
Transmitters:
The first Transmitter will be assigned an IP address of 169.254.3.1. The next Transmitter will be assigned an IP
address of 169.254.3.2, and so on....
Once the IP range of 169.254.3.x is filled (254 units), the software will auto assign an IP address of 169.254.4.1,
and so on...
Once the IP range of 169.254.4.x is filled the software will auto assign an IP address of 169.254.5.1, and so on
until 169.254.4.254
Receivers:
The first Receiver will be assigned the IP address of 169.254.6.1. The next Receiver will be assigned an IP
address of 169.254.6.2, and so on....
Once the IP range of 169.254.6.x is filled (254 units) the software will auto assign an IP address of 169.254.7.1,
and so on...
Once the IP range of 169.254.7.x is filled the software will auto assign an IP address of 169.254.8.1, and so on
until 169.254.8.254
Once complete, devices will need to be identified manually - this method will auto-assign product IP addresses and
ID's to each device connected to the network switch randomly (not by switch port).
Method 2: connect each Blustream Multicast Transmitter and Receiver to the network one-by-one. The Set-up
Wizard will configure the units sequentially as they are connected / found. This method allows for the control of
the sequential assigning of IP addresses and ID's of each product - the Transmitter / Receiver units can therefore be
labelled accordingly.
HDCP Mode: Blustream Multicast Receivers will automatically add HDCP onto the outgoing stream (regardless of whether the
source device has HDCP encoded onto its outgoing stream). The HDCP Mode selection buttons allow for HDCP to be forced or
follow a common compliance. When using commercial equipment where there is no HDCP, and capture software is being used,
we would recommend setting the system to 'Bypass' .
