• [Multicast Address]: If "Multicast" is configured in
[Stream Mode], set the IP addresses. Six addresses are
required. Setting one address automatically sets the
remaining five addresses in sequence. Set
corresponding addresses on the connected devices. If
"Unicast" is configured in [Stream Mode], no entry is
required.
• [Register IP Address]: If a computer running the PC
application software (optional) is connected, enter the
IP address of the computer. Set [Stream Mode] to
"Multicast" to configure this parameter. The required
address is the IP address of the computer connected to
the same network segment as the MAIN connector of
the unit. IP addresses for up to eight computers can be
configured.
CONTROL connector settings
These are configured under [Control Port Configuration]
on the [Network] page.
• [DHCP]: Select whether to use DHCP. When using
DHCP, the IP address allocated to the unit can be
monitored using character information superimposed
on the monitor output.
• [IP Address], [Subnet Mask], [Default Gateway]:
Configure these if [DHCP] is disabled.
Note
When specifying IP addresses for the MAIN connector
and the CONTROL connector, do not use multicast
addresses, broadcast addresses, or other special reserved
addresses.
4. Format settings
Select the image format for transfers under [Video
Format] in the [Structure] page.
5. Video transmission settings
The direction of the video's main line signal and the
number of transceiver channels are configured under
[Transmission Settings] on the [Structure] page.
• [Main Video Direction]: Select [Transmitter] for the
camera transmitting main line signals, and [Receiver]
for the video router receiving the signals.
On the Receiver side, the phases of the input SDI
signals and the SDI signals sent from the Transmitter
will match. On the Transmitter side, the phases of the
input SDI signals and the SDI signals sent from the
Receiver will not match (when [Frame Synchronizer] is
[OFF]).
Selecting the [Transmitter] and [Receiver] establishes a
pair. Communication will not be possible if both sides
are set identically.
• [Structure]: Configure the number of transmitter/
receiver channels. The number of channels for the
Transmitter and the Receiver should be inverted.
For example, in a 3-camera system with one return
channel, specify [3Transmit 1Receive] for the cameras
and [1Transmit 3Receive] for the video router.
Alternatively, if [3Transmit 1Receive] is specified,
specify [1Transmit 3Receive] for the partner device. If
12
Settings
[2Transmit 2Receive] is specified, specify [2Transmit
2Receive] again for the partner device.
If "1080/59.94P (Dual Link)" or "1080/50P (Dual
Link)" is selected in [Video Format], [Structure] is
fixed to "2Transmit 2Receive" and Dual Link 1
operates in bidirectional transfer mode. Connect the
Link-A input to HD SDI IN connector 1, and the Link-
B input to HD SDI IN connector 2. The HD SDI IN 3
connector is disabled. Connectors HD SDI OUT 1 and
2 are grouped, as are connectors HD SDI OUT 3 and 4.
Link-A is output from connectors HD SDI OUT 1 and
3, and Link-B is output from connectors HD SDI OUT
2 and 4.
6. Synchronization settings
Configure synchronization between transmission
devices.
Selection of whether a device is the Leader or Follower in
regards to the synchronization signal is performed under
[Network GenLock] on the [Structure] page.
Select [Leader] for the transmitting device, and
[Follower] for the subordinate device. Transmission is
not possible between two Leader devices or two Follower
devices.
Next, select the synchronization signal to be input under
[Reference in] on the [I/O] page.
• [Source]: Select either the input signal from the REF IN
connector or from HD SDI IN connector 1 to be the
synchronization signal.
• [Format]: When [Reference in] is selected for [Source],
select [HD] (HD 3-value sync) or [SD] (SD sync).
• [V Phase]: Enter this unit's vertical phase for the input
synchronization signal.
The input signal must be in phase with this unit.
However, an unsynchronized signal can be input if there
is only one channel. In such cases, use the frame
synchronizer. For details, see "Settings when using a
frame synchronizer" on page 18.
The synchronization signal to be output from the REF
OUT connector is configured under [Reference out] on
the [I/O] page.
• [Format]: Select [HD] (HD 3-value sync), [SD (BB)],
or [SD (SYNC)] (SD sync) as the synchronization
signal to be output.
• [V Phase]: Enter this unit's vertical phase for the output
synchronization signal.
Note
Configure the [Reference in] and [Reference out] settings
for both the NXL-IP55 Leader and Follower units.
7. Transmission rate settings
The transmission rate for video signals is configured
under [Video Code Rate] on the [Structure] page.
Configure identical settings for both the NXL-IP55
sender and receiver units. Configuring a high rate enables
