▪      Local DC 12V/1A power supply

▪      POE from Network Switch. Device acts as PD mode. When the Switch supports POE function, DC power supply

is not needed.

Notes:
Encoder can choose HDMI audio input or external audio embedding. It can be set through the CH SELECT buttons on the front panel of the Encoder. (The default setting is HDMI audio input.)
If it is set to HDMI audio input, the L/R OUT output of Encoder is HDMI audio loop out. If it is set to external audio embedding, the L/R IN input of Encoder is the input of external audio embedding, and the L/R OUT output is the external audio embedding loop out.

Encoder and Decoder Matching Settings

When multiple Encoders and Decoders are used in the system without a Controller Box, it is necessary to match them well firstly. You can match all Encoders and Decoders in following three methods.

Method 1: Use the CH SELECT buttons on the front panel of the Encoder/ Decoder.
Accoding to the methods metioned in Chapter 5, set the ID of Encoder, then set the ID of Decoder, finally set the Encoder ID from which to subscribe the stream. Match all Encoders and Decoders in the same way.
Method 2: Use the RS-232 serial port command control.
Connect the RS-232 port of Encoder/Decoder to a PC or control system, as shown in the figure below. Then use a Serial Command tool on PC to send the RS-232 command code: “!OUT xxx FR yyy\r\n”. The function of this command is to connect the Decoder (ID:xxx) to the Encoder (ID:yyy). Match all Encoders and Decoders in the same way.

Method 3: Use the IR remote control (optional).
The IR of Decoder supports using IR remote control. The button number on the IR remote control is the ID of Encoder which is to be connected to the current Decoder. You can select Encoder 1~40 to match the current Decoder by directly pressing button 1~40. If you press and hold the button 1 for 5 seconds, Encoder 41~80 can be selected.

Web GUI User Guide

You can use the built-in Web GUI to configure all IP products through a Switch. The operation method is shown as below.
Step 1: Match all Encoders and Decoders as described in Chapter 7.
Step 2: Connect the PC, Encoders and Decoders you need to configure to a Switch. The connection diagram is shown as below.

Step 3: Press and hold the (CH SELECT) UP button on the front panel of the Encoder/Decoder for 5 seconds to check the IP address. (Please refer to Chapter 5 for details.)
Step 4: Set the PC’s IP address to be in the same network segment with the Encoder/Decoder, for instance, set the IP address to be 169.254.3.150 and Subnet mask to be 255.255.0.0.

Step 5 : Input the IP address of the Encoder/Decoder into the browser on PC to enter the Web GUI login interface.

Step 6: Input the default User “admin” and the default Password “admin”, and then click “Log In” to enter the Web GUI interface.

The Web GUI function pages are shown as below:

Device Information Page

The Status page provides basic information about the Encoder/Decoder, such as Firmware Version, IP Address, Subnet Mask, Gateway and MAC Address.

Video Configuration Page

On this page, you can configure the video properties as required.

Encoder Video Configuration
Encoder video configuration page includes Main Stream, Sub Stream, ID Setting, Audio Selection and EDID Setting.

Main Stream: You can configure Video Encoding Format, Audio Encoding Format and Bitrate. Video Encoding Format supports H.264 and H.265. Audio Encoding Format supports PCM and AAC.
Sub Stream: You can configure Video Encoding Format, Resolution and Bitrate. Video Encoding Format supports H.264 and H.265.
ID Setting: You can configure the ID of the Encoder. (After setting the ID, the IP will change. You need to press and hold the (CH SELECT) UP button on the front panel of the Encoder for 5 seconds to check the IP address, and then re-enter the new IP address on the web page to continue setting).
Audio Seletcion : You can configure the Audio Input (HDMI/Anologue).
EDID Setting: You can choose an EDID option from the drop-down list as shown in the below figure.

User EDID 1 and User EDID 2 can be uploaded in Select User EDID1 File and Select User EDID2 File, and the content of the uploaded binary file is EDID. (This file can be downloaded from the Download EDID of the Decoder Video page.)

Decoder Video Configuration
Decoder video configuration page includes Trasmission Protocol, Scale Setting, Download EDID, Video Timeout Setting, ID Setting and Picture Setting .

Transmission Protocol: You can select “udp unicast” or “udp multicast”. Scaler Setting: You can set the output resolution.
Download EDID: You can download the EDID binary file of the display device connected to the Decoder. The EDID file can be used as the User EDID file to be uploaded to the Encoder.
Video Timeout Setting: You can set the timeout to turn off the video output when no input video signal is detected. 0 means never close.
ID Setting:
Local ID: You can set the ID of the Decoder. (After setting the ID, the IP will change. You need to press and hold the (CH SELECT) UP button on the front panel of the Decoder for 5 seconds to check the IP address, and then re- enter the new IP address on the web page to continue setting).
Max Channel ID: You can set the maximum range of Source Selection ID that can be set. When it is set to 0, there is no limit to the setting range of Source Selection ID.
Source Selection ID: You can select the ID of the Encoder to be the input source.
Picture Setting: You can configure the picture parameters (Brightness, Contrast, Hue and Saturation).

Settings Page

On this page, you can set Network settings, configure Security Module, modify username and Login Password as required.

Notes:

1. The Network Settings can be set only when the Mode button is set to Static.
2. All changes will take effect by clicking “Save” below.
3. After any changes to the Network Settings, username or Login Password,
   it will redirect to the Web browser home page or the Web GUI login interface. You need to log in the Web GUI again with the new settings.

Update Page

Click “Browse..” to import the upgrade file and click “Update” to start upgrade. There will be a progress bar prompt during the upgrade process. When the progress bar reaches 100%, it indicates the upgrade is successful, and the device will be restarted automatically.
Clicking “Reset” can reset the device to factory default settings.
Clicking “Reboot” can reboot the device.

Log Out Page

Click “Log Out” on the left, the Web GUI will exit and skip to the login interface automatically.

Switch Model

A network Switch used to set up the system should support below features:

1. Type of layer 3/managed network Switch.
2. Gigabit bandwidth.
3. Support multicast, and need to enable the multicast function.
4. Support IGMP snooping, and need to enable the IGMP snooping function.
5. Support filter/drop unregistered Multicast traffic, and need to enable the function.

The following Switch models are highly recommended.

2K60 over IP System Control

This product also can be controlled by Controller Box or a third-party controller. For details of 2K60 over IP system control, please refer to 2K60 over IP Controller Box user manual.

Notes:

1. For the default IP mode of the 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 the Control LAN port. You need to set the IP address of the PC to be in the same network segment. For example, set the PC’s IP address as 192.168.0.88.

3. You can access the Web GUI by inputting the 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 the settings of the Video LAN port of the Controller Box, they are managed by Controller automatically.

5. When the Network Switch does not support PoE, the Encoder, Decoder, and Controller Box should be powered by a DC power adapter.
