DIRECT CONNECTION EXAMPLE

This product is plug and play. There is an online interface to access advanced sgenerally it is not required.

NETWORK CONNECTION EXAMPLE

By routing via the network there is no cable length limitation as the signal is repeated at every node. Notes:

1. All Tx and Rx must be on same subnet
2. Microwave transmitters typically do not provide enough bandwidth for this product
3. For multicasting a standalone Gigabit switch is recommended
4. Switch can be unmanaged since IGMP snooping DOES NOT need activation

DHCP

A DHCP switch assigns IP addresses to each end point, otherwise the end points default to 192.168.10.10 (Tx) or 11 (Rx).

MULTIPLE TRANSMITTERS

Only ONE transmitter can be used on a network. Setting up a virtual LAN allows you to use more than one transmitter on a physical network. The systems are kept separate and cannot be used as a matrix.
If more than one transmitter / receiver sets share same network create a Virtual LAN on the network switch for each transmitter and receiver set.
Example:

• Connect 15 transmitters to ports 1-15
• Connect 15 receivers to ports 16-30
• Create VLAN_1 and assign ports 1 and 16
• Create VLAN_2 and assign ports 2 and 17 etc…

ADVANCED SETTINGS – WEB INTERFACE

Connect a PC directly to the LAN port, and connect power to the device.

PC Setup
Select properties:Double-click Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) Set IP address as:

Note: The IP address of the computer and device need to be in same network segment e.g. as the Tx’s IP address is 192.168.10.10, the PC’s IP should be 192.168.10.x (x be be 1-255 except 10).

Browser Interface

Input device IP address into your browser: 192.168.10.10 (Tx) or 11 (Rx).
The first time you connect you will be forced to reset the password.
Note: As an IP product this product could be targeted by hackers to access corporate networks. It is ESSENTIAL you set a robust password.

Video Settings

Dectype
The dectype is H265 at MainStream or SubStream.
Resolution:
Choose:
MainStream resolution includes 1280720 , 19201080 and Auto.
Substream resolution includes 352288, 640480, 720*576.
Bitrate:
You can set bitrate:
The MainStream range is from 1024Kb/s to 20480Kb/s.
The SubStream range is from 256Kb/s to 2048Kb/s.

Network Settings

IP Settings

• DHCP mode automatically obtains network configuration, including IP address, Subnet, Gateway.
• User mode set manually. The IP address and Gateway address cannot the same. Yo don’t need to change the Subnet address.

Note: If you have changed the IP address, you can continue use current interface. Next time you connect you need to use the new IP address. A factory reset will reset the IP address to the original address.
Port: The default value is 80.

Update Firmware, Factory Reset

To update firmware select browse to open a bin. File. Click “Upgrade”.
Progress can seem to hang at 99%. This is normal. Do not take action until progress reaches 100%.
After upgrade clear the browser cache so the update can take effect e.g. Chrome: Ctrl+shift+delete

VLC TRANSMISSION

It is possible to replace a transmitter with a PC running VLC. Once you have connected to the advanced settings interface, open VLC on the PC.
Step 1: Select Media > Open Network StreamStep 2: Enter URL.
MainStream: rtsp://192.168.10.10/live/main/av_stream
SubStream: rtsp://192.168.10.10/live/sub/av_stream
Click “Play”

Use Video Settings in the browser interface to control VLC resolution settings.
You can also select “Tools>Codec information” in VLC to see resolution settings. The bitrate is shown on the statistics tab, and will float up and down.

Notes:

1. If VLC does not work well check IP address and network connection status. The IP address of the computer and product should be in the same network segment.
2. If everything is OK, the device boot static IP needs some time to communicate with router. Try again.

TROUBLESHOOTING

No link indicator

• Check network cable
• Replace with shorter cable you know works

Image flashing or colour incorrect
Check CAT6 cable wiring. It should be wired to 568B standard at both ends:

If one end has green and orange swapped this is a cross-over cable and cannot be used.
No image

• Try another source
• Make sure display input is correct
