Notes:

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

Step 4: Set the PC’s IP address to the same network segment with IP address of the Encoder Secondary Stream (SS). (If these two IP addresses are in the same network segment, you can skip this step.)
Step 5: Input the IP address of the Encoder Secondary Stream (SS) found through the bonjour protocol checking tool into the web browser on PC. The following login interface will appear.

■ Video Page

Prestel IPN-4KSDVOE SDVoE Transceiver with Copper Fiber Combo Box - Video
Page

On the Video page, you can set the Main Stream and Sub Stream 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 it to take effect.
The Resolution of the Main Stream includes Auto, Horizontal and Vertical. If Auto is set to ON, the resolution will follow the input resolution. At this time, Horizontal and Vertical display the current input resolution and are grayed out and cannot be set. If Auto is set to OFF, then Horizontal and Vertical can be set to the resolution of the Main Stream encoding. The horizontal range is 960~1920, the vertical range is 540~1080, and it needs to be an even number. Click the “Apply” button to take effect.
The Resolution of the Sub Stream includes Horizontal and Vertical. Horizontal and Vertical 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 the “Apply” button to take effect.
Bitrate is used to set the bit rate of the encoding.

■ Setting Page

Page

The Setting page includes two parts: Network and Login.
Network can be set to Static or DHCP. When set to Static, you can enter IP address, gateway and subnet mask; When set to DHCP, the IP address, gateway and subnet mask are grayed out and cannot be edited. A DHCP server (e.g. network router) which  automatically assigns IP related settings should be installed in the system. Web Port is the port of the Web page. After setting, click “Save” to take effect. After setting the IP address, the page will automatically switch to the set IP address. Click “Set Network Defaults”, it will be restored 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 the “Save” button to take effect.

■ Update Page

SDVoE System Control

This transceiver can be controlled by Controller Box or third-party controller.
For details of SDVoE system control, please refer to SDVoE Controller Box user manual.

Application Example

Prestel IPN-4KSDVOE SDVoE Transceiver with Copper Fiber Combo Box -
Application Example

Notes:

  1. For the default IP mode of Control LAN port of the Controller Box is DHCP, the PC also needs to be set to “Obtain an IP address automatically” mode, and a DHCP server (e.g. network router) is required in the system.
  2. If there is no DHCP server in the system, 192.168.0.225 will be used as the IP address of Control LAN port. You need to set the IP address of the PC to be in the same network segment. For example, set PC’s IP address as 192.168.0.88.
  3. You can access the Web GUI by inputting Control LAN port IP address (192.168.0.225) or URL “http://controller.local” on your computer’s browser.
  4. No need to care about settings of Video LAN port of the Controller Box, they are managed by Controller automatically (Default).
  5. When the Network Switch does not support POE, the Encoder, Decoder and Controller Box should be powered by DC power adapter.
