Transceivers-\(17\)

Note: An Apollo 7100T transceiver can simultaneously encode and decode audio/video IP stream from another Apollo 7100T transceiver, transmitter or receiver. Thus, it can easily replace a Apollo 7100T transmitter or receiver in the same IP system.
For example, in the diagram above, the two transceivers can transmit the video sources of a 4K media player and an Apple TV to the receiver via the 10GbE Ethernet switch. They can also receive the video signal of another 4K media player from the transmitter and display the image on their connected TVs simultaneously.

Dante Source Selection
There are two ways to select audio source between HDMI and Analog audio as Dante source for Dante-enabled devices: 1) using PC configurator; 2) using BlueRiver API.

Using PC Configurator
Before using PC Configurator

  • Before using PC configurator, ensure that the host computer with PC configurator, IP control box SC009 and Apollo 7100T units are in the same subnet and to allow it to communicate through Windows firewall.
  • By default, if there’s any IP control box SC009 deployed in the IP matrix system, the HDMI audio will be selected as Dante source for Dante-enabled devices.

To select Dante source, perform the following:

  • Double click HDMI over IP Console.exe to launch PC configurator on your computer.
  • Right click on a Dante-enabled device > choose “Dante Audio Settings”. STOLTZEN-Apollo-7100T-4K-UHD-Uncompressed-Video-Over-IP-Transceivers-\(18\)
  • In the pop-up window, click “HDMI” or “Analog” to select as Dante Source. Choose “Apply” to make new setting to take effect.

Using BlueRiver API
For more information, please refer to the official API document of Semtech.

Dante Source Routing
You can use Dante Controller to route Dante source from Dante-enabled devices to Dante receivers (e.g. Dante decoder, Dante speaker, etc).

During using Dante Controller, please note the following:

  1. Configure the IP address of your computer installed with Dante Controller, Dante module of Apollo 7100T units and Dante receivers so that they are in the same subnet.
  2. Configure multicast flow as required. By default, the communication mode is set as unicast.

For more information, visit Dante official website https://dev.audinate.com/GA/dante-controller/userguide/pdf/latest/AUD-MAN- DanteController-4.1.x-v1.0.pdf to see the user manual of Dante controller.

Using Semtech ProAV Controller for Device Control

Configuring a Video Wall

Note: Video wall configuration is applicable to NT2000 and AVP2000 chipsets.

To configure a M x N video wall:

  1. In the main menu select Video > Videowall to enter Video Wall page.

  2. Select a layout to create a wall array.
    For example, select 2 x 2 to specify four displays mounted in a two horizontal by two vertical array.

  3. Select the output resolution for the decoders assigned to the video wall.

  4. Enter the bezel values that are to be applied horizontally and vertically to adjust the bezel thickness. The value is applied in image pixels.

  5. Select each of the decoders that is to output the associated portion of the source.

  6. Select the encoder that is attached to the source that is to be displayed on the wall.

  7. Once the devices are selected, enter a name for the wall and click the Create button. Then the above 2 x 2 video wall preset is created successfully. STOLTZEN-Apollo-7100T-4K-UHD-Uncompressed-Video-Over-IP-Transceivers-\(32\)

  8. Return to the top of the Videowall page, select the created presets and click the Load button. The HDMI video source of the selected encoder appears on the 2 x 2 video wall.STOLTZEN-Apollo-7100T-4K-UHD-Uncompressed-Video-Over-IP-Transceivers-\(33\)

There are three options provided in relation to the Presets:

  • Delete Deletes the selected preset (.py file). Caution, be sure to select the correct script to be removed.
  • Edit Select when it is desired to modify the selected preset (.py file). Example, modify the device ID for the encoder or decoders that comprise the Wall array.
  • Load Loads the selected preset (.py file) to configure a Wall array.

Configuring Multiview

Note: The Multiview configuration is applicable to NT2000 and AVP2000 chipsets.
The Multiview feature supports up to 32 sources on a single output display in a custom define layout.

Taking an example of creating a triple-view layout:

  1. In the main menu select Video > Multiview to enter Multiview page.

  2. Specify details of the layout itself:

    • In the Preset Name field, enter a name to assign to the layout. For this example, sample1_triple view.
    • Specify the Canvas Width, total horizontal size and the Canvas Height, total vertical size of the layout. For this example, 3840×2160.
    • Next, from the Decoder dropdown list, select the decoder device that is to output the layout to its attached display.
    • From the FPS dropdown list select the frame rate per second (fps) to apply to the layout output stream.
  3. STOLTZEN-Apollo-7100T-4K-UHD-Uncompressed-Video-Over-IP-Transceivers-\(34\)Under the heading Window Assignments On Selected RX, proceed to configure each window to include in the layout.

    • Click on the Active check box to include the selected window in the layout.
    • Then specify the Position and Size of the Window, both the horizontal and vertical values to apply.
    • Next, specify the Target for each Window.
      Up to 32 Windows (0-31) can exist in a single layout. Only activate and configure the windows that are to be included in the layout. For this example, three windows, Window 0, Window 1 and Window 2 are enabled, as well as their Position, Size and Target specified. Refer to the settings of the figure below for the triple view outlined above. STOLTZEN-Apollo-7100T-4K-UHD-
Uncompressed-Video-Over-IP-Transceivers-\(35\)
  4. Scroll down to the TX Assignments On Selected Target section, specify the target settings.

    • Click the Active check box, indicating to assign the target to the specified layout.

    • Select the Encoder that is to be associated to the specified target.

    • Then from the dropdown list select the resolution to apply to the layout window.

    • Specify the Windows Target and Surface (destination index) to associate to the target.
      Note: Each surface index is to be assigned only once to a given layout.

    • Surface 0 can receive video up to resolution of 4096 x 2160.

    • Surfaces 1 to 11 can receive video up to a resolution of 2048×1080.

    • Surfaces 12 to 16 can receive video up to resolution of 2048×856.

    • Surfaces 17 to 20 can receive video up to a resolution of 2048×1080.

    •  If total bandwidth usage is going to surpass 10G, select the check box under the Divide FPS By 2.
      For example, if sources are 60Hz, four 1920×1080 60Hz streams will exceed the 10G bandwidth on the decoder.

Transceivers-\(36\)For this example, specify the Window Target as 0, then the source of TX 0 will be assigned to the Window 0 with the same Window Target.

  5. Once all of the above settings defined, select Create button to create the layout (preset).

  6. Proceed to select the preset from the list of Presets and then click the Load button to load the selected layout configuration. STOLTZEN-Apollo-7100T-4K-UHD-Uncompressed-Video-Over-IP-Transceivers-\(37\)
