Page 21: Understanding The Basics
USERS GUIDE UNDERSTANDING THE BASICS Direct Connection with No Ethernet Switch The VPX Series is designed to automatically tunnel the video, audio, USB, RS-232, and IR if they are connected without an Ethernet switch once they have been connected for the first time with an Ethernet switch or through the secondary SFP port. -
Page 22: Network Switch Support
Network Switch Support While Aurora will do its best to assist in the network setup, the service and support of the switch will be borne by the Manufacturer of the switch. It is also highly recommended to have personnel, or a consultant certified in the brand being deployed for the facility. -
Page 23: Video Wall Capabilities
USERS GUIDE For example, there are 2 displays, one is 1080p and the other is 4k UHD. If the EDID of the 4K display is used, the 1080p display will not see an image if it receives a 4K signal. If the EDID of the 1080p display is used, then both will see the image. However, signals will be limited to 1080p causing the 4K display to need to upscale the content. -
Page 24: Ethernet Bandwidth Usage
USERS GUIDE Ethernet Bandwidth Usage The VPX streaming bandwidth is dynamic with compression at 14:1 compression for 4K60 4:4:4. With no USB activity and a still image fed into a decoder the VPX will use as little as 92Mbps of network bandwidth. Maximum throughput is 800Mbps without USB data. -
Page 25: Hardware Installation
USERS GUIDE HARDWARE INSTALLATION Network Setup 1. It is ideal to use a non-blocking 1G PoE Ethernet switch with enough power for a standard 15 watts per port if the infrastructure is RJ-45. PoE+ can be used as well but it is not necessary. If multiple switches are used there should be only 1 IGMP Querier per VLAN for the network. -

Auracast Bluetooth Option (BT-AC1) This feature requires the Aurora BT-AC1 USB Dongle to enable this feature. The BT-AC1 will transmit up to 200m (660ft) under ideal conditions but the distance is ultimately limited by the headset it is connected to and the placement of the VPX/BT-AC1. - Page 28 USERS GUIDE Status Description Lit Solid – Connected in aptX Mode White - aptX Connected Bluetooth devices must be using Qualcomm semiconductor Lit Solid – Auracast mode activated ● Orange - Auracast Active under LEA function Lit Solid – Connected in LE, LC3 mode ●...

Page 29: Web Setup Pages
USERS GUIDE WEB SETUP PAGES Web Setup pages can be accessed by typing in the IP address of the unit (example: 192.168.100.1). You will then be prompted for a username and password. The default username and password are “admin.” It is highly advisable to change the units to a unique username and password for security reasons. -
Page 30: Encoder Mode Web Pages
USERS GUIDE Encoder Mode Web Pages The Encoder pages are comprised of 2 tabs, Settings, and Preview. Settings has 9 sub selections as described below. Device Info Hardware Information shows the units MAC Address, Serial Number and Mode. Version Information reports back the current firmware version. This will help to not only make choices for updating firmware if necessary but by knowing the firmware the user will know the current capabilities that can be expected of the unit. - Page 31 USERS GUIDE www.auroramm.com...

Page 33: Network
USERS GUIDE Network The Network tab allows the setup of the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway. The Host ID and Hostname Prefix must be unique for every unit, as the multicast IPs are generated based on the Host ID. The VPX has an internal network switch, and another excellent feature is the ability to set VLAN for the Video and the Dante Audio. - Page 34 USERS GUIDE Multicast SRP controls the IGMP passthrough traffic. This allows the IGMP for the video to pass-through from one ethernet port to the other or to keep the traffic on that port only to the VPX unit while letting other control traffic through. When using this unit to pass-through LAN control of a display for example, removing the IGMP traffic on its port may be required if it can’t handle the traffic.

Page 56: Video
USERS GUIDE Video From this page you can select the source and set scaler resolutions. Setting the scaler to the display’s native resolution will improve switching speed by removing the need for the display to re-sync when switching to a source with differing resolution/frame rate/color space. -
Page 57: Video Genlock
USERS GUIDE Video Genlock This allows the VPX to slightly adjust output timings to closer match the input signal’s timings. Normally it should be left enabled as it will ensure proper videowall sync and faster switching time between encoders. Sometimes you may need to disable it, as certain devices are too sensitive to the signal. -
Page 58: Splash Screen Custom 'No Signal' Graphics
USERS GUIDE Splash Screen Custom ‘No Signal’ Graphics The VPX contains a ‘No Signal’ image, which will display when the input signal is lost. This graphic can be replaced with a custom graphic. This feature is often used to include the client and/or integrator logo on the VPX when no signal is present. To create a custom graphic, use a graphic editing tool to create a JPEG image. -

Page 61: Channel Map
Channel mapping is a feature that allows you to assign VPX streams to a virtual channel, much like a TV tuner. Once enabled, you can use the channel up/down buttons on the Aurora IRC-BT1 remote control to change streams. You can also optionally enable the up/down front panel buttons of the VPX-TC1 to use this feature. - Page 62 USERS GUIDE To use channel mapping, you will need to create a simple CSV file to define the mapping. This can be done using a text editor like Notepad, or a spreadsheet editor like Excel. The file starts with the header row: ChNo,ChName,HostName,HostID,Description second, subsequent...
- Page 63 USERS GUIDE Channel Mapping sample in Excel: NOTE: When opening or editing the channel mapping CSV file in a spreadsheet editor like Excel, it may format the device IDs as numbers, automatically removing the leading zeros. You must format the HostID column as text to prevent automatic number formatting.

USERS GUIDE EPG (Electronic Programming Guide) The EPG works with the channel mapping feature when a unit is set to a decoder. First, make a spreadsheet (.csv format) with 4 columns for channel number, Encoder IP or Host name, OSD channel label, and Description. Load it into the decoder unit through the built-in web page as per prior section. -
Page 73: Applications
To initially set up the units, either connect to a 1Gbps network switch with a PC or use the SFP slot and install the RJ-45 SFP (Aurora Part# IPA-SFP-RJ45-1) to allow connection of the PC into the pair. Then go to the decoder units IP Address and setup pages and make the connection to the encoder and any other settings like baud rate or scaler. -
