Operation

ENC/DEC LEDs
After powering on the unit, the ENC/DEC LEDs flash for about 15 seconds, then it will indicate the current mode. Press and hold the MODE button for 5 seconds to switch to another mode if needed. The corresponding ENC/DEC LED flashes for about 30 seconds and then stays on, indicating that the mode is switched successfully

Network Switch
The network Switch used to set up the system must support the below features:

• Layer 3/managed
• Bandwidth 10 Gigabit
• Support IGMP version 2, snooping enabled
• Filter/Drop unregistered multicast traffic
• Disable unregistered multicast flooding
• Enable fast leave support

Web GUI
This transceiver supports playing Secondary Stream on computer through an available software such as VLC media player, simultaneously it can be managed via the built-in Web GUI to configure the Secondary Stream.

Please follow the below steps:

1. Connect the transceiver (in Encoder mode) with a PC, an HDMI source device and the power supply as shown below:
   

2. Set the PC’s IP address to 169.254.100.100 and the Subnet mask to 255.255.0.0.
   

3. Install a bonjour protocol checking tool (such as zeroconfServiceBrowser) on the PC to find the IP address of the Encoder. After opening the software, you can select “Workgroup Manager” in Services of Browser, select the Host name in Service-Instances, and find the IP address in the Address item in of Instance-Info.
   
   Notes:

   • The window in the lower left corner displays the Host names of all SS devices in the current network.
   • The window in the lower right corner displays the Host name, IP address and Port number of the selected SS device.
   • The Host name of Encoder starts with AVP-ENC; the Host name of Decoder starts with AVPDEC

4. Set the PC’s IP address to the same network segment of the IP address of the EncoderSecondary Stream (SS).

5. Input the IP address of the Encoder Secondary Stream (SS) found through the bonjour protocol checking tool into the web browser of the PC. The following login interface will appear:
   

Type admin as default User Name and Password the click Log In to enter in the Status page.

Status Page
The Status page provides basic information about the installed firmware version and the network settings.

Video Page

On the Video page, Main Stream and Sub Stream can be set separately. Encoding Format can be set to H.265/H.264 according to the decoding protocol used in the 3rd party software which decodes the Secondary Stream. Pull the drop-down box to select the desired format. The Resolution of the Main Stream includes Auto, Horizontal and Vertical. If  Auto is set to ON, theresolution will follow the input resolution; Horizontal and Vertical display the current input resolution and are grayed out so cannot be set. If Auto is set to OFF, then Horizontal and  Vertical can be set to theresolution of the Main Stream encoding. The horizontal range is 960~1920, the vertical range is540~1080, and it needs to be an even number. Click on Apply to confirm. The Resolution of the Sub Stream includes Horizontal and Vertical and can be set to the resolution of the Sub Stream encoding. The horizontal range is 320~960, the vertical range is 180~540, and it needs to be an even number. Click on Apply to confirm. Bitrate is used to set the bit rate of the encoding.

Setting Page

The Setting Page includes two parts: Network and Login. Network can be set to Static or DHCP. When is set to Static, IP address, gateway and subnet mask can be entered; When set to DHCP, the IP address, gateway and subnet mask are grayed out and cannot be changed. A DHCP server (such as a network router) which automatically assigns IP related settings, should be installed in the system. Web Port is the port of the Web page. Click on Save to confirm. After setting the IP address, the page will automatically switch to the chosen IP address. Click on Set Network Defaults to restore to the default DHCP state. The Web login password can be changed on the Login part. Enter the old password in Old Password, enter the new password in New Password, enter the new password again in Confirm Password, and click on Save button to confirm.

Update Page

The SOC Update column is used to upgrade firmware. Click on Browse to select the firmware, and then click on Update. When the progress bar reaches 100%, the upgrade is completed and the device will restart automatically. The IMG Update column is used to download the no-signal picture, click on Browse to select the picture in jpg format (the resolution of the picture should be up to 1920×1080, the width should be aligned with 8, the height should be aligned with 2, and the size of the picture should be less than 512kB), and then click on Update. When the progress bar reaches 100%, the download is completed, and it will be active on the device immediately, without rebooting

VLC Media Player Instruction
After the Web GUI is successfully connected, open the VLC media player already installed on the PC. Click on Media > Open Network Stream

After clicking the Open Network Stream option, the following page will appear:

Enter a MainStream or SubStream network URL, then click on Play button.

Note: The default IP address of Secondary Stream is 169.254.100.254. When the IP address of the Encoder Secondary Stream (SS) found through the bonjour protocol checking tool is different from default IP address, please use it instead of the default IP address

On the VLC media player, you can check Secondary Main Stream or Sub Stream settings that are configured on the Video Page (please refer to Web GUI paragraph for details).  Choose Tools > Codec information, a pop-up window will display and show you Stream information, as shown below.

Choose Tools > Codec information > Statistics to check current Bitrate.

Note: The Bitrate will float up and down when you check it, this is normal.

SDVoE System Controller
This transceiver can be managed by a third-party controller or the Lindy SDVoE Controller (part n. 38364). The Controller is recommended to set up multicast, Video Wall and Multiview configurations. As default IP mode of Control LAN port of the Controller is DHCP, the PC also needs to be set to Obtain an IP address automatically mode and a DHCP server is required. If there is no DHCP server in the system, 192.168.0.225 will be used as the IP address of the Control LAN port. The IP address of the PC has to be in the same network segment, for example set PC’s IP address as 192.168.0.88. Web GUI can be accessed by inputting Control LAN port IP address (192.168.0.225) or the URL “http://controller.local” on the computer’s browser. For details, please refer to the SDVoE Controller user manual

Infrared Control
The Transceiver feature an IR In and Out port, with a pair of IR extension cables provided. The extension cables allow an IR remote control to be used from the Decoder to the Encoder or vice versa.

Troubleshooting

Lindy tested this SDVOE Extender with a Netgear XSM4316S Switch, the following Netgear Switches are recommended and optimized for SDVOE AV over IP applications:

No network connection

• Please make sure that the network Switch in use follows the features showed under Network Switch paragraph.
• Check that the 10G network Switch is connected to the 10G (PoE) port.
• Check that the Secondary Stream-third party control system is connected to the 1G LAN port and ensure that the encoding format (H.264/H.265) corresponds to the one chosen in the Video Page settings of the Transceiver.
• Replace network cables with high quality Cat.6A or Cat.7 cables.
• If the connection is established but there are troubles using a third party control system, please refer to the control system’s user manual.

No video signal

• Check that any Transceiver connected to a source is in ENC mode.
• Check that any Transceiver connected to a display is in DEC mode.
• The maximum supported length for HDMI cables to reach resolutions up to 4K60 is 5m using an High Speed HDMI cable, try a different type of HDMI cable and reduce the cable length to 1m.
• For several HDMI devices it may be helpful to unplug and re-connect their HDMI connection to reinitiate the HDMI handshake and recognition.
• Power off all the devices, then power on in this order: first, the display, then the extender and finally the source.
  Before starting any new installation we suggest to reset all the units and follow all the steps from the beginning.
