$Introduction

VLIP-SDFR-TX comes with the compact size and economical, flexible SDVoE solution. They allow uncompressed true 4K@60Hz video to be switched and distributed over standard 10GbE Ethernet networks with zero frame latency over 300 meters.

4K IP Delivery
Employed with IP protocol exchanging technology, the encoders can communicate with decoders via the switch to realize point (multipoint) to point (multipoint) matrix switching flexibly as required. Also, an encoder can connect to a decoder directly with an Ethernet cable, serving as an HDMI 2.0 extender set.

HDMI 2.0 and HDCP 2.2 Distribution with Zero Frame Latency
With HDMI 2.0 and HDCP 2.2 compliance, they support all HDMI 2.0 timing envelope of 594 MHz, e.g., 4K/60 8-bit 4:4:4, 4K/60 10-bit 4:2:2 and 4K/60 12-bit 4:2:0 (HDR). Light compression technology allows them to deliver video at lower compression ratios for keeping picture quality identical to the original source when the raw data exceeds the Ethernet bandwidth. Furthermore, the video is delivered with zero frame latency.

Compact design and Cost-Effective Solution
The compact size design is suitable for installation in tight space. Also, they are compatible with other SDVoE series products, providing a cost effective, flexible solution for system deployment.

• Supports point-to-point transmission of 4K signal at the distance up to 300m
• Supports point-to-multipoint, multipoint-to-multipoint transmission via 10GbE switch at the distance of up to 300m (between a device and the switch)
• Zero-frame latency
• Compatible with all ProITAV SDVoE products

Using BlueRiver AV Manager for Device

Control
The BlueRiver AV Manager is a simple intuitive software to manage and control SDVoE compatible endpoints and edge devices. For more information about obtaining the software, contact us

Installation

1. Before installation, ensure that your PC, TX, RX are on the same subnet.
2. Download and install the BlueRiver AV Manager file (*.exe) on your computer. After installation, the application GUI is accessed through a browser by simply entering the “127.0.0.1” or “localhost”.

Getting Started
BlueRiver AV Manager includes three tools for managing and controlling the devices – Monitoring, Operate and Configure, which are accessed from the Home page.

Device Monitoring and Configuration

• The Monitoring tool is used to display device list and view device information, including details of device identity and capabilities, video and audio streams, device model in the original JSON format, network settings, etc.
• The Configure Tool is used to set and define device behavior and properties. It includes definition of devices alias name, initial configuration of IP address mode, video output mode, etc.
• Enter either Monitoring or Configure page, all devices are shown in device cards. To access device details or configuration, simply select a card.

Video Routing

• The Operate tool is for video routing between sources and displays. Endpoints connected to sources or displays are shown as device cards and form a routing grid where devices connected to sources appear on the grid vertical axis and devices connected to displays are shown horizontally.
• To route the video from a source to a display, simply press the intersection point between the two. To remove the route, just press the intersection point again.

Using AVP Product Updater for Firmware Upgrade
Before performing firmware upgrade, ensure that your PC, TX, RX are on the same subnet.

Getting Started
WARNING: DO NOT disconnect the device from its power supply and the network during the upgrade process.

1. Contact your supplier for the device’s latest firmware files – an AVP firmware file (*.apz) and a MCU firmware file, and the latest compressed AVPUpdater package file.
2. Extract the compressed AVPUpdater package file on your PC, and double click AVPUpdater.exe to launch the AVP Product Updater software.
3. A window opens as follows. Click Search in the Operation area to find the encoders and decoders.

Note: The AVP Product Updater is applicable to all IP6000 AVP products; while for a IP6000LASF series unit since its MCU doesn’t include a network port and is upgraded through a serial port, its “MCU MAC” and “MCU IP” are displayed as “”.

4. Select the desired devices for upgrade, and choose the corresponding AVP firmware and MCU firmware to upload in the AVP Firmware and MCU Firmware field. Click Update to Proceed.

5. The upgrade process takes about 1-2 minutes. A prompt of “MCU updated successfully” appears after the upgrade is completed.
