  • Page 5: Product Overview

    Introduction PRODUCT OVERVIEW streamnet aVoIP™ V IDEo latforM The StreamNet IP platform is designed to send high-quality audio and video over a TCP/IP network (AVoIP™). An encoder, such as a VIEW Pro E120, takes digital video and audio from a source device, such as a receiver, cable box or DVR, and makes the source available anywhere on the StreamNet network.

  • Page 6: Connections

    Connections The VIEW Pro E120 Encoder has the following input and output connectors on the back of the unit. • 1x - IR Input connector compatible with SteamNet IR sensor (3.5mm) • 1x - IR Input Receiver window on front panel • 1x - IR Output connector compatible with SteamNet IR emitter (3.5mm) • 2x - Balanced Audio Input (Two Modular Phoenix-type connectors, left and right) • 3x - GPIO (General Purpose Inputs - Digital, 0/5V, Phoenix-type)

  • Page 7: Hdmi Inputs

    hDMI I nPuts The HDMI connectors on the E120 receive digital video and audio. Ir I This jack allows connection of an StreamNet compatible infrared receiver. The infrared receiver can pick up IR remote control signals for IR learning. Ir o This jack allows connection of an infrared transmitter.

  • Page 27: Preparing The Encoder/Decoder

    PREPARING THE ENCODER/DECODER The next step is to configure the Encoder/Decoder device. Add the Encoder/Decoder as you normally would. Do NOT choose a source type that is tied to a specific manufacturer or product model. If you are in doubt choose the source type you would use if this were and IR device.

  • Page 28: Modifying The One-Way Driver File

    Once the device is added select the Sources tab for the Encoder/Decoder. Change the Driver file from IR to your newly created driver. For this example, we would change the driver file from IR to DVDTemplate.lua. Now Apply your changes. The Encoder/Decoder is now configured to use your one-way Driver file.
  • Page 29 In the RS-232 Protocol section of the .lua file, locate the communication settings. Normally these settings will include: Baud rate, Data Bit, Stop Bit, and Parity. Once you find them you will need to verify that these commands match those used in the driver file. To do this, open the file in your text editor: Do a text search for: baud= You are looking for this line:...
  • Page 30 Verify that the baud, bits, parity, and stop values in the driver file match the settings listed in the RS- 232 Protocol. Most devices use Baud=9600, Data bits=8, Parity=0, and Stop bits=1. Now locate the Command table in the driver file. Do a text search for: local CmdTable = : 800.283.5936 EChnICal...
  • Page 31 Below the local CmdTable = text are the available commands where you can enter RS-232 commands. For each command you will enter the command between the quotation marks. For example: To enter the RS-232 command for TUNE UP: Locate the TUNE UP command line: [‘TUNE UP’] = “”, Add the appropriate RS-232 command for the source to do a TUNE UP between the quotes [‘TUNE UP’] = “W 1 6 1”,...
  • Page 32 Your table should begin looking like this: Once you have completed your changes, save the file. From Dealer Setup, send the configuration to your Encoder/Decoder. The StreamNet GUI will now send the RS-232 command to the source via the DB9 port instead of the IR.
