DIGITALINXIP IPEX5000 Series IPEX5001-WP-W AV Over IP HDMI/VGA Auto Switching Wall Plate Encoder Installation Guide

IPEX5000 Series Install Guide

Product Overview

IPEX5001 Encoder
The Digitalinx IP IPEX5001 encodes / transmits HDMI video and audio over a 1 gigabit network infrastructure using JPEG2000 encoding with a variable data rate at an average of 250 Mbps with peak values up to 850Mbps. The IPEX5001 supports video signals up to 4K at 60 Hz 4:2:0 / 8 bit deep color, 4K at 24Hz 4:2:0 / 10 bit deep color for HDR10 support, HDCP 2.2 and multichannel audio support. An analog audio input port embeds analog audio with the video content, such as a DVI video source. An analog audio output port de-embeds stereo 2 channel audio from the HDMI content, while still passing stereo 2 channel audio to the HDMI output. The encoder supports control of 3rd party devices via RS232 and IR. The USB host port connection is for connecting USB host devices such as a computer that is USB 2.0 Full Speed compliant up to 12Mbps that can communicate with client side devices connected to a decoder.

The IPEX5001 supports PoE power and can be powered remotely via PoE network switch eliminating the need for a nearby power outlet.

IPEX5001-WP-W Encoder
The Digitalinx IP IPEX5001-WP-W encodes / transmits HDMI or VGA video and audio over a 1 gigabit network infrastructure using JPEG2000 encoding with a variable data rate at an average of 250 Mbps with peak values up to 850Mbps. The IPEX5001-WP-W supports video signals up to 4K at 60 Hz 4:2:0 / 8 bit deep color, 4K at 24Hz 4:2:0 / 10 bit deep color for HDR10 support, HDCP 2.2 and multichannel audio support. An analog audio input port embeds analog audio with the video content, such as a DVI video source. The HDMI and VGA inputs on the IPEX5001-WP-W are auto switching and follow the last in / first out method and must be physically connected / disconnected to engage the auto switch. The encoder supports control of 3rd party devices via RS232 and IR. The USB host port connection is for connecting USB host devices such as a computer that is USB 2.0 Full Speed compliant up to 12Mbps that can communicate with client side devices connected to a decoder.

The IPEX5001-WP-W supports PoE power and can be powered remotely via PoE network switch eliminating the need for a nearby power outlet.

IPEX5001-D Encoder
The Digitalinx IP IPEX5001-D transmits HDMI video and audio over a 1 gigabit network infrastructure using JPEG2000 encoding with a variable data rate at an average of 250 Mbps with peak values up to 850Mbps. The IPEX5001-D is Dante enabled meaning that the encoder can on ramp two channel stereo audio either from the embedded HDMI audio stream or the analog audio 3.5mm input onto a Dante audio network. The multicast video and Dante audio IP streams are integrated into one Ethernet cable simplifying networked audio and video solution into one. An analog audio output port de-embeds stereo 2 channel audio from the HDMI two channel stereo embedded stream, while still passing stereo 2 channel audio to the HDMI output. The IPEX5001-D supports video signals up to 4K at 60 Hz 4:2:0 / 8 bit deep color, 4K at 24Hz 4:2:0 / 10 bit deep color for HDR10 support and HDCP 2.2 support. The encoder supports control of 3rd party devices via RS232 and IR. The USB host port connection is for connecting USB host devices such as a computer that is USB 2.0 Full Speed compliant up to 12Mbps that can communicate with client side devices connected to a decoder.

The IPEX5001-D supports PoE power and can be powered remotely via PoE network switch eliminating the need for a nearby power outlet.

IPEX5002 Decoder
The Digitalinx IP IPEX5002 receives HDMI video and audio over a 1 gigabit network infrastructure using JPEG2000 encoding from the IPEX5001, IPEX5001-D and IPEX5001-WP-W encoder. The IPEX5002 outputs video signals natively from source or can be scaled to 1080p or 4K at 24/30Hz 4:4:4 with HDR10, HDCP 2.2 and multichannel audio support. An analog audio output port de-embeds stereo 2 channel audio from the HDMI content while still passing stereo 2 channel audio to the HDMI output. Depending on the needs of the installation, multiple IPEX5002 devices can be configured to make a video wall configuration. The decoder supports control of 3rd party devices via RS232 and IR. The USB client port connections are for connecting USB devices such as a keyboard or mouse that is USB 2.0 Full Speed compliant up to 12Mbps that can communicate with a host side device connected to an encoder.

System Installation Instructions

Connecting Devices to Network Switch
A 1GbE PoE managed network switch must be configured for multicast video operation.

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 5e/6 cable from the network switch to the appropriate 5000 devices LAN port.

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

Best Practice
When installing the AV endpoints, create a spreadsheet of all 5000 devices notating the MAC address, as well as noting attached source/sync devices. 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 5000 series devices default to auto IP i.e. 169.254.0.0/16 Network ID so the devices can be found easily without the use of an IP scanner. The endpoints can be changed easily to DHCP so an IP address to the device automatically if desired but for initial login be sure your PC to access the Arranger server is in the 169.254.0.0/16 Network ID range.

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

Connecting Audio Devices
Connect an unbalanced line level audio device either to the encoder or decoder, the 5000 devices de-embeds the two channel embedded HDMI audio stream. The audio input of the encoder will embed 2 channel audio into the HDMI signal. This option must configured in Arranger.
Note: Audio output is 2 channel stereo audio only and is not capable of downmixing multi channel audio

Connecting USB Devices
Connect USB components to devices with USB 2.0 rated cables, do not exceed cable lengths over 5m/15’
Note: 5000 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 devices 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 devices 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 5000 devices 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 5000 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. 169.254.0.0/16.

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 5000 series devices. A complete operation manual and API for the Arranger system is located in the Arranger server application.
