Product Features

IPEX6000TC-C Transceiver

• The IPEX6000TC-C is an AVoIP PoE-powered A/V transceiver integrated with both encoder and decoder configuration which can transmit and receive video signals simultaneously. The DigitalinxIP IPEX6000TC-C supports IP-based switching and extension of true 4K/60Hz (4:4:4) video with zero frame latency up to 100 meters when using CAT6A F/UTP cabling. The transceiver supports independent routing of all AV, USB HID, IR, Ethernet and RS232 signals. All transceivers on an AV network can simultaneously transmit and receive full 4K 60 4:4:4 signals. The IPEX6000TC-C is HDMI 2.0 and HDCP 2.2 compliant and supports all video resolutions that fit into the HDMI 2.0 timing envelope of 594 MHz, such as 4K@60Hz 4:4:4 24bpp and 4K@60Hz 4:2:0 30bpp HDR, including DolbyVision, HDR10 and HLG. The transceiver features lite compression technology which is activated automatically when the raw data rate exceeds the Ethernet bandwidth so that all supported timing formats can be delivered through a single 10G Ethernet cable.
• The IPEX6000TC-C can be used in a point-to-point installation or in a matrix configuration that supports routing of one to one and one to many including multi-view for single display outputs and video wall configurations up to an 8×5 (Rows x Columns).
• When multiple IPEX6000TC-C transceivers are deployed on an AV network, for basic system access and operation, a license code from Liberty’s Arranger offering is required.
• Port speed requirements for each transceiver is ~6-8Gbps for 4K signals and 3.2Gbps for 1080P signals, therefore the IPEX6000TC-C requires a 10GbE PoE managed network switch for optimal performance.
• Note: 1GbE managed network switches are not supported.

Product Features

IPEX6001 / 6002 Encoder / Decoder
IPEX6001 / 6002 encoders and decoders provide the economical, flexible and powerful solution at resolutions up to 4096×2160@60Hz, 3840×2160@60Hz (4:4:4) and 3840×2160@60Hz (4:2:0 10-bit HDR). They allow uncompressed UHD media to be switched and distributed over standard 10GbE Ethernet networks with zero frame latency.

Flexible and Cost-effective Deployment
IPEX6001/6002 series products can work together with full-feature 6000 Series DigiIP products including IPEX6000TC transceivers and 6000 series wall plate encoder / decoder in AV distribution / signal routing applications. IPEX6001/6002 do not include video processing or scaling keeping cost down for applications where these features are unnecessary. IPEX6002 cannot be used within a video wall (IPEX6001 can feed a video wall with appropriate decoders), and IPEX6001 and 6002 can not be part of a multi-view application.

Multiple Signal Delivery
Standard features like bi-directional serial, bi-directional IR, Gigabit Ethernet, and independent analog audio input/output are included. They are the perfect solution for any zero-frame latency and signal routing applications. Common applications include classrooms, digital signage, conference rooms, performing arts and broadcasts.
Port speed requirements for each encoder/decoder is ~6-8Gbps for 4K signals and 3.2Gbps for 1080P signals, therefore the IPEX6001/6002 requires a 10GbE PoE managed network switch for optimal performance.
Note: 1GbE managed network switches are not supported.

System Installation Instructions

Connect Transceivers / Encoders / Decoders to Network Switch

• Configure a 10GbE managed PoE network switch for multicast video operation.
  Note: A 1G network switch cannot be used with the 6000 series due to the high port speed requirements of the IPEX6000TC-C, a 10GbE managed network switch is required.

• Liberty has documented several network switch settings for many common switch manufacturers, see documents related to this product on the product page of the Liberty AV website (www.libav.com).

• Connect Category 6A from the network switch to the appropriate transceivers 10GbE LAN port.

• Use TIA/EIA-568B crimp pattern for Category cable termination.

If the managed PoE network switch cannot provide adequate power to the transceiver, connect the included power supply to the DC power input of the device and connect to a local AC power source.

• Best Practice
  When installing the AV endpoints, create a spreadsheet of all AVoIP transceivers notating the MAC address, the attached source/sync and the desired transceiver function, i.e. encoder, decoder or both. This will aid in fast final system commissioning that could be done remotely by accessing the AV system server via VPN or via port forwarding. See Arranger Documentation for more information on how to access the server and set up port forwarding.

• Device IP Settings
  The 6000 series devices default to DHCP so a router or DHCP server can assign an IP address to the device automatically. If there is no router or DHCP server present it will default to APIPA i.e. 169.254/16 Network ID. You will use the Arranger application to find and manage 6000 devices on a Network. See Device / System Control.

• Connecting HDMI Devices
  Use only high quality High Speed HDMI cables rated for 18Gbps, do not exceed HDMI cable lengths over 5m/15’ for transceiver HDMI connections to AV sources and displays.

• Connecting Audio Devices
  The 3.5mm analog audio I/O connection can be configured as an input or an output and is configured in the Arranger server. Connect a 3.5mm stereo audio cable to the transceivers audio I/O port
  Note: Audio output is 2 channel stereo audio only and is not capable of downmixing multi channel audio

• Connecting USB Devices
  A transceiver can be configured as either a USB host or client, this is configured in the Arranger server. Connect USB components to transceivers with USB 2.0 rated cables, do not exceed cable lengths over 5m/15’
  Note: 6000 Series supports USB HID, which is ideal for simple KVM or touch control. Do not use high quality USB microphones or webcams on this transceiver

• Connecting IR Components
  The IR connections on the transceivers provide a means to control remote IR equipment.
  Note: Please ensure power is disconnected from the encoders and decoders before connecting the IR receiver to the IR input ports on the devices.

• Connecting Serial / RS232 Compatible Devices
  The RS232 connections on the transceivers provide a means to control 3rd party devices using serial commands. Connect the TX, RX, and ground control signal wires to the removable 3-pole terminal block, be sure the wiring from transceiver to the device is TX – RX, RX – TX, G – G. See illustration below

Device / System Control
Arranger is an AVoIP server application that will configure and manage the 6000 series on an AV IP Network. Arranger is licensed per endpoint for one AV Network and a license unlock code should have been provided upon purchase of the Arranger DigiIP 6000 series license.
If you are missing the license unlock code contact supportlibav@libav.com and have serial number of the hardware controller nearby to confirm system license

Connect Arranger Controller
The provided Arranger hardware controller with the DigitalinxIP system should be hardwired via Ethernet to the AV network switch.

Arranger Server Login
Once the hardware controller has been connected to the AV Network, the Arranger server application can be accessed via web browser on any PC that is connected to the same AV Network switch. By default the IP address for the Arranger server is 169.254.1.1. For initial system setup your PC will need to be in the same Network ID, i.e. 169.254/16.
Upon first login of the Arranger server you will be asked for an unlock code for your license, once the license has been entered you will be prompted for login credentials, by default the user name is admin and the password is admin to login to the system initially.
Once logged in you will be asked to change the admin login password.

Best Practice
Log the changed password that you created in your project documentation spreadsheet.

Once logged in you can configure, manage and control all signal types for the DigitalinxIP 6000 series devices. A complete operation manual and API for the Arranger system is located in the Arranger server application.

Application Diagrams

Note: Transceiver modes as notated (encoder, decoder or both) can be configured by the Arranger server

Point to Point AV Extender

Note: Both transceivers must be connected to local power AC outlet with the supplied DC power supplies, the point to point application does not support PoE.
