    HD-SDI source to an HDMI device. The VX-HDV-IP is an independent encoder that delivers full HD 1080p/60Hz video streams without any quality impairment via conventional 10/100/ 1000 BASE-T networks. VX-HDV-IP encoders/decoders can be simply interconnected via existing networks (LANs and WANs) as well as by Internet.

  • Page 9: Installation

    The VX-HDV-IP is dimensioned so that two devices fit together in a 19-inch rack. For this, the optional rack mounting kit is required (VX-HDV-IP-RM). The VX-HDV-IP only needs one HU and can be fixed with four screws in various positions:...

    Fixing screws 3.4 Power supply and switch contact To activate the VX-HDV-IP, a 12-VDC/2-A power supply is required. The two separate power input connections on the back allow for a redundant power supply. If you only use one power supply, you can connect it to either of these inputs.

    LED starts flashing to signal a reboot. The DVI module has two connections: Video In and Video Out. The VX-HDV-IP can be configured as an encoder or as a decoder. Only one connection can be activated at a time. The quality of the video cable can influence the video image quality.

    IP address must be reconfigured and the device defined either as encoder or decoder (the two functions cannot be used in parallel). • Connect the Ethernet port (RJ-45) of the VX-HDV-IP with shielded CAT5e cable to a Ethernet switch or network.

    System mode in the screen. To distinguish between several VX-HDV-IP devices in a rack, activate “Identify device.” All the LEDs in the device you want to identify will then flash red.
  • Page 16: Transmitter Stream Settings

    5.3 Transmitter stream settings You can either set up a point-to-point connection (unicast) or a multicast connection to video stream receivers in the network that support the multicast address. For connections that need to pass through firewalls, the RTSP TCP port can be separately defined.
  • Page 17 When Chroma is set to 50%, 25% of the bandwidth is used for Chroma and 75% of the bandwidth is used for Luma. When Chroma is set to 0%, 100% of the bandwidth is used for Luma. IP TTL (time to life) This is a mechanism that limits the lifetime of data in a network.

    5.4 Transmitter status reports The example below shows a VX-HDV-IP with activated media player (no HDCP encryption). Operation mode: The device is configured as video transmitter box (vtb) Video sink: No monitor is connected Video source: connected to activated media player...
  • Page 19: Choose The Receiver's Edid

    5.5 Choose the receiver’s EDID By default, the transmitter requires the EDID of the sink (e.g. monitor), so that the best possible resolution the receiver can handle is delivered. When an EDID is received, the transmitter sends a video stream. If the sink cannot send an EDID, the transmitter has to be set to “Use default EDID.”...
  • Page 20: Receiver Stream Settings

    5.6 Receiver stream settings The receiver must also know where the video stream is coming from, so the transmitter IP address must be entered accordingly. If “Force HDCP” was activated on the transmitter, it must not be activated on the receiver. It is sufficient if it is only activated on one device. As with the transmitter, the different ports can also be manually adjusted on the receiver.
  • Page 21 The OSD (On Screen Display) setting defines how long information is shown on the monitor. The setting range is 0–100 seconds. At 0 setting, nothing will be displayed, and at 100 setting the display remains on screen. Typical On Screen Display (OSD) 724-746-5500 | blackbox.com Page 21...

    1. Save the new firmware as example “image_v4_02.img” file in a folder on the computer from where the update is executed. 2. Connect to the VX-HDV-IP via a Web interface. 3. Select “Firmware” in the Web interface menu. 4. Activate the icon “select a file” and press “Apply.” A new folder will open.
  • Page 25: Factory Default Restore

    5.10 Factory default restore Here, you can reset the VX-HDV-IP encoder/decoder to factory defaults if required. The network details, names, and designations are restored to factory default settings. Pressing the reset button on the front of the device for >5 seconds has the same effect.
  • Page 26: Settings

    Here you can choose German or English as the system language, and define or change the user name and password for access authentication. To use the VX-HDV-IP with AMX devices, AMX must be activated. With authentication activated, you can no longer access the device if you forgot your user name or password.

  • Page 28: Fec Forward Error Correction According To Smpte 2022-1

    FEC Forward Error Correction according to SMPTE 2022-1 In telecommunication, information theory, and coding theory, forward error correction (FEC) or channel coding is a technique used for controlling errors in data transmission over unreliable or noisy communication channels. The central idea is the sender encodes their message in a redundant way by using an error-correcting code (ECC).
  • Page 29 Column only: If enabled, SMPTE 2022-1 Level A; disabled, Level B. Level A sends only one FEC stream, so only single packets are recovered. The overhead is smaller than for Level B. For Level B, in addition, several consecutive packets can be restored (it is at most as many as for “Size of matrix”...

  • Page 31: Hardware Reset Instructions

    Hardware reset instructions On the front of the VX-HDV-IP is a slightly recessed reset button. To reboot the device, press this button for less than five seconds. Pressing it for longer than five seconds resets everything (IP address, user name, and password) to factory default.
  • Page 32: Audio-Board

    10 Audio-Board The optional audio board has two line-in interfaces, Lin-In and Mic-In and two line out-interfaces, Line-out and Head-out. It also has a serial interface for future use. In this firmware version, the audio interface works only as an intercom solution.
  • Page 33 The Lin-In and both Line-out interfaces are stereo. The Mic-In interface is mono. It is not possible to use both line in interfaces at the same time. Only one is active at a time. If you configure the audio board as “Line-In” only, the “Line-Out” interface is active.
