Installation

1. Install all units in the rack and connect them as shown in Figure 1.

2. The audio and video input signals connect to the back of the modules (Figure 2).
   If a network is available that provides IP addresses through DHCP, connect the encoders to the network as shown in Figure

3. If such a network is not available, then a computer will need to be connected as shown in Figure 4.

4. Power on the units.

5. Connect the programmer to each unit and set a unique number in the “# ID” field according to the order of installation of the units in the rack (Figure 5).

6. Connect the programmer to a unit, usually the first one, and read the IP address (Figure 6). Each unit can work as a master controller for the other units. All units can be configured by connecting to only one.

7. If a network was connected in Step 3 then proceed to step 8. If not, set the address of you  computer as follows:
   IP value = 172.20.0.2
   netmask = 255.0.0.0
   gateway = 172.20.0.3
   NOTA: The default factory configuration of the units has an IP address in this range (it should be different for each unit). If a unit was ever provided an address before, manually or through DHCP, this unique address may no longer exist. Resetting to IP factory defaults, will return the original unique private address though.

8. In your web browser, enter the IP address from Step 6 as the URL.
   A login prompt will appear. By default the parameters are:
   Login: encoder
   Password: encoder The Status > Summary page should appear as the first page.
   This provides a summary of all the units installed in the network and the units will be sorted by the number entered in Step 5.
   The “Change Password” option only changes the password of the encoder currently logged in to. To change the password for the remaining modules, each one will need to be logged into with its unique IP address and the change made for each.
   Figure 8 shows an example of a detailed status page.

9. Configure all units:
   Select “CONFIGURATION”. This page has 4 options, INPUT, TRANSPORT, OUTPUT, and NETWORK, shown in Figures 9, 10, 11, and 12  respectively.
   For each configuration page, the last column is “Select”. Any changes made, will be saved only to the units with this associated “Select” box checked when “Apply Selected“ is clicked.
   This applies to all 4 of the sections under the Configuration Menu. Some items have an automatic configuration option, such as “Automatic channel numbering” shown in figure 10.
   The network configuration page allows a change to the Number assigned in Step

10. This option also has an “Auto” assignment feature.
    The “Auto” option will ask for confirmation since it will overwrite the settings of all units set in Step 5 and the ordering will likely not be as the units were placed in the rack.

11. Change configuration of one unit:
    Select “CONFIGURATION”. Click on the Model name of the desired unit and the page below will be shown. From this page you can change any parameter of the configuration of the desired unit.

ENCODER DISCLAIMER

1. TELEVÉS states that the following references:
   563803, 563805, 56380501, 56380502, 56380503, 56380504, 56380505, 56380506, 56380507, 56380508, 56380509, 56380510, 563831, 563832, 563833, 563852, 566001, 585301, 585401, hereinafter referred as “Encoder  Equipment” or products.
   have as sole purpose to provide a technical solution to the need to transfer audiovisual content, originally generated in a device provided with an HDMI interface, to one or more receivers located at distances greater than 100 linear  meters within a room or building. According to the currently available technology, it is not possible to conduct the HDMI signal at that distance or greater to a multiplicity of receivers, except through a complex and commercially  non-viable network deployment, which in no case could ensure the protection of the original audio visual content.

2. TELEVÉS, as the holder of an HDCP license, is not entitled to include in a product such as the aforementioned Encoder Equipment any interface, switch, plug, conductor, button, push-button or other equivalent software solution  that allows the output of said content device HDCP decrypted in any analogous form.

3. In order, a) to comply with the license, and b) at the same time provide the purchaser of the product with a technical, legal and feasible solution for the transfer to a multiplicity of receivers at distances greater than 100 linear meters  from the audiovisual signal transmitted with HDMI interface and HDCP encryption, the Encoder Equipments do not allow the output of decrypted audiovisual content in a representation analogous to the HDMI format, but instead  compresses the content of the audiovisual signal, converting it into MPEG format.
   This compressed format allows the transfer of the signal through the use of coaxial cables and its reception through the use of DVB-T / DVB-C / ISDB-T or similar analog tuning interfaces.

4. The user of the products may use the compressed audiovisual format, not analogous to the original HDMI content, in which any of the references cited as Encoders emits its output signal, solely and exclusively for the purpose and  conditions defined as follows: 1st) In order to transfer the signal to content displays (monitors, televisions, projectors) located more than 100 linear meters from the one receiving the HDMI signal with the HDCP encrypted content.
   2º) Provided that the devices that allow the user to view content to which the signal is directed within the premises or building (monitors, televisions, projectors) allow normal viewing of HDMI content while keeping HDCP encryption.

5. Any other use other than that defined in the previous paragraph is expressly prohibited. In particular, the user may not:
   a) Reproduce the signal on content viewers not authorized to reproduce HDMI content while maintaining HDCP encryption; nor,
   b) Carry out conducts or operations aimed at copying, manipulating or transforming, in whole or in part, the audiovisual signal emitted by the products listed in section 1.

6. The user will be solely responsible in the event of improper use of any of the Encoder Equipments or of the audiovisual signal emitted by them. The user will indemnify and hold TELEVÉS harmless, to the maximum extent  permitted by applicable law, against any claim, action or claim, judicial or extrajudicial, from third parties, holders of intellectual or industrial property rights, derived from prohibited actions of in accordance with the previous  provisions.
