    IP networks. Visionary’s PackeTV® and PacketAV® products can be deployed on any industry standard IP network. They can be used on existing enterprise IP networks or on a physically separate parallel network [private network] to offload traffic, using the same network protocols, methods, and devices but without intermingling video traffic with data or voice, and with equal ease of installation.

  • Page 5: Network Requirements

    PEED The DuetE-5 encoder will produce up to 800Mb/s of data. Therefore, 10 encoders will require 10 x 800MB/s = 8Gbps. Duet-5 requires the switch to be GbE. Duet-5 technology is used to transmit visually lossless 8~10:1 compressed video up to 4K along with other AV...

  • Page 6: Choosing A N Ethernet Switch

    Switches that perform well in smaller installations may not work well in larger installations. Recommended configuration settings may vary based on your switch. Visionary Solutions offers sample switch configuration files, optimized for Network AV, for certain switch brands/models for testing purposes. Contact support@visionary-av.comto obtain the files.

  • Page 7: Implementation Considerations

    AV traffic must be 1 GbE capable per the specifications in Network Requirements. Visionary Solutions recommends that all encoders be turned off before connecting to an existing network. Once connected, encoders can be turned on one at a time to determine network impact.

  • Page 8: Installing O N A Dedicated Network

    Figure 2 illustrates how Duet-5 endpoints can be installed on a dedicated network. A dedicated network is recommended for transmitting AV over IP. We offer various models of preconfigured switches for resale to our partners. These switches are shipped pre-configured for AV over IP from the factory. Please contact sales@visionary-av.com for more information.

  • Page 9: Single Switch Networking

    Installation and Connections (System Examples) Figure 2. Dedicated Network Diagram INGLE WITCH ETWORKING Single switch networking can be used when there are no more than 100m (328ft) from the central distribution point. Any network switch should have a backplane capacity of at least (2 x 1000-Mbps x N) where N is the number of ports on the switch passing the video traffic.

  • Page 10: Installation And Connections (System Examples )

    Installation and Connections (System Examples) NSTALLATION AND ONNECTIONS YSTEM XAMPLES This section provides installation and connection instructions for six configuration examples. For each encoder and decoder in the system examples below, follow these step-by-step connection instructions. 1. Use an HDMI cable to connect the AV source to the HDMI IN1 and/or HDMI IN2 port on the encoder unit. 2.

  • Page 11: One Source T O One Display

    Installation and Connections (System Examples) OURCE ISPLAY In this basic installation scenario, sending video from a single source to a single display, a single encoder and decoder (point-to- point) can be linked directly together or over a network. If linked directly, the CAT 5e (or better) cable linking the devices should not run more than 100m (328ft).

  • Page 12: Many Sources T O Many Displays

    Installation and Connections (System Examples) OURCES ISPLAYS Sending video from multiple sources to multiple displays requires a network switch. Multiple encoders can be linked to multiple decoders (multipoint-to-multipoint) over a network. The many encoders to many displays’ configuration allow almost any number of sources and displays.

  • Page 14: Video Wall

    Network Discovery IDEO The video wall configuration requires a network switch to display multiple video sources to many displays or a single display in any combination of video streams. Multiple encoders can be linked to multiple decoders (multipoint-to-multipoint) over the network. The video wall configuration allows almost any number of sources and displays.
  • Page 15 Network Discovery On a Microsoft Windows computer, configure your network settings as follows: 1. Click Start menu, go to Control Panel > Network and Sharing center > Change Adapter Settings > Local Area Connection. Right- click and choose Properties. 2. Highlight Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) then click Properties. This opens the window you use to configure your network settings.
  • Page 16 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.

    Power connected devices with PoE pass-through. DuetE-5 Encoders and DuetD-5 Decoders only require standard PoE power (15w or lower), however, when PoE+ is supplied to the Main LAN1 port you can pass-through PoE power to devices connected to the LAN2 Ethernet Expansion Port.

  • Page 18: Vlan Trunk Mode

    Configuration When PoE+ is supplied to the LAN1 port, the UNIT.PSE_ENABLED status found at the bottom of the unit’s web UI Network tab will display “Available.” When the Status window displays “Available,” use the drop-down menu to choose either TRUE or FALSE. When set to TRUE, PoE will be supplied out the LAN2 Ethernet Expansion port.

  • Page 19: Extreme Networks ' Fabric Attach

    Enabling Fabric Attach Integration • IP.FA_ENABLE: Setting this parameter to TRUE activates Fabric Attach on the Visionary endpoint. This allows the device to participate in the Fabric Attach protocol, which automates the provisioning of network services and streamlines the deployment process within Extreme Networks' environments.

    Configuration b. Click CONNECT button to connect to the encoder AV stream. Click Save to save the new settings as the default route for the decoder when it boots. The unit will automatically reboot. 7. Repeat steps 1–4 and step 6 for each decoder you want to tune into the encoder’s multicast stream. The units are now connected in multicast mode.

  • Page 22: Usb Unicast

    Configuration USB U NICAST Multiple USB devices may be connected to one or more decoder units. However, only one encoder unit can have USB control at a time. In other words, only one decoder can communicate with the encoder at any given time. By default, the first decoder unit connected has USB control.

  • Page 23: Cec Over Ip (Decoder Only )

    Configuration CEC O IP (D ECODER The decoders support CEC over IP, allowing control of a CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) enabled display through the HDMI connection. The decoder receives the CEC commands and passes the commands through the HDMI connection to the CEC enabled display.

  • Page 24: Ir Over Ip

    The Duet-5 series is capable of using HDMI or Analog audio sources. • The DuetE-5 encoder uses the STREAM.AUDIO to select the source of audio sent over the AV over IP stream. • The DuetD-5 decoder uses the STREAM.AUDIO to select what audio is sent out the HDMI output.

  • Page 25: Audio Connections

    Configuration STREAM.AUDIO=ANALOG (Encoders only) DuetE-5 – STREAM.AUDIO=Analog Uses the Analog audio (balanced or unbalanced consumer line level via Euroblock connector) and sends it out the AV stream. ***DuetD-5 is always passing analog audio via the Euroblock connector. DuetD-5 allows volume level (AUDIO.VOLUME) setting of analog audio output.

  • Page 26: Edid

    The EDID describes the formats for audio and video that an HDMI sync can process. The source device uses this information to determine the audio and video format that is output. The source gets its EDID from the encoder. The DuetE-5 encoder is the only device that is presenting an EDID to the source.
