Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the SDVoE Controller. This product has been designed to provide trouble free, reliable operation. It benefits from both a LINDY 2-year warranty  and free lifetime technical support. To ensure correct use, please read this manual carefully and retain it for future reference.
SDVoE is a globally recognised standard for high quality distribution of AV content with other features, including control, matrix, video wall and multi view over longer  distances via 10G Network with no compressions and latency.
This Controller can be used to manage the Lindy SDVoE Transceiver 38365 that features HDMI, USB, IR, RS-232 and Audio signals to distribute all the signals through a  10G managed network switch and to set up many configurations and layouts. It supports dual network ports, one for network control and one for multicast video distribution.
It provides control via Web GUI, TCP, RS-232, IR & GPIO.
SDVoE Alliance® is a registered trademark and SDVoE™ and SDVoE API™ are trademarks of the SDVoE Alliance.

4. UPDATE: Firmware update port (do not connect it while the unit is working).

Rear

1. DC 12V: Connect the 12VDC 1A PSU to an AC wall outlet and securely connector to the unit.
2. VIDEO LAN (PoE): Connect to the same Network Switch where all SDVoE Transceivers are connected using a single RJ-45 Cat.6 or above cable. The unit can be  powered via PoE if the connected Switch has this feature.
3. CONTROL LAN: TCP/IP control network port.

   Please Note:
   – As default the IP mode of the CONTROL LAN port is DHCP, the PC connected needs to be set to “Obtain an IP address automatically” mode and an optional DHCP server (for example a network router) is recommended in the system.
   – 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. Set the IP address of the PC in the same network  segment (for example 192.168.0.88).

Operation

Web GUI
This Controller can be managed via the built-in Web GUI.
Please follow the below steps:
Input the Controller’s default IP address (192.168.0.225) or the URL (http://controller.local) into the Web browser address bar on the PC to enter the Web GUI login interface:

Select the default username (admin) and password (1234) on the above login interface. Then, click on Log In to enter the Web GUI interface. For the first time, you need to  setup the project, as shown in the following picture:

Click on Close button to load an existing project in the web page directly or click on Next button to go to the next step.

On this interface, you need to set the IP mode of Video LAN.
Automatically managed by Controller Box Click on Next button and wait for the completion to enter the interface as shown below:

Select Automatically add Encoders and Decoders to project and click on Scan button to enter the Project page. All the connected devices will be listed in the Current Devices list.

Preview Page
On this page is possible to see the preview of the Encoder/Decoder by clicking on the dropdown lists.

Matrix Control Page

Encoders: Display all the connected Encoders. The text in the figure is the name of the device.
Decoders: Display all the connected Decoders. The text on the first line is the name of the Decoder and the text on the second line refers to the Encoder where the signal  resource comes from.
If an Encoder shows “No Signal”, it means that the Encoder cannot be dragged. If there is an image on an Encoder, it means that the Encoder can be dragged. As shown in  the figure above, if an Encoder is dragged to the place where the red arrow points to, all Decoders will share the same signal resource from this Encoder; if an Encoder is  dragged to the place where the blue arrow points to, only the indicated Decoder can receive signals from this Encoder.
