2 Overview 2.1 Summary description The VX-HDV-IP modular JPEG 2000 IP encoder/decoder system for HD video and audio is configurable as encoder or as decoder. Two different video interface modules are currently available: DVI-I and 3G-SDI. HDMI and VGA transmission is also possible by means of simple converters. A separate audio interface is available to enable one bidirectional audio channel for an Intercom connection. 2.2 Special features Thanks to HD image quality, the sy

2.3 How it works The encoder receives and compresses the incoming HD video signal and transmits it via LAN or WAN. The decoder decompresses and passes on the original video signal to the device connected. With adequate LAN/WAN bandwidth, the signal quality is not reduced. And thanks to the JPEG 2000 compression process, the image is not affected by artefacts or stutter. System delay (latency), network delay not included, is less than three frames. Multicast is supported, which means t

3 Installation The VX-HDV-IP is intended for indoor installation. The operating temperature limits are -10° C to +60° C. Two or more devices stacked above each other must be adequately spaced to ensure sufficient cooling. 3.1 Tabletop version For tabletop use, the VX-HDV-IP must be fitted underneath the housing with the four screw-on rubber feet supplied. Fit rubber feet here 3.2 Rack-mounting version The VX-HDV-IP is dimensioned so that two devices fit together in a 19-inch r

3.3 How to change and insert the video interface modules These modules are fixed with two screws. To change a module, release both screws and carefully remove the module. When installing a module, make sure that the board is supported on the guiderails at each side, and insert the module precisely in the straight or horizontal position until the connector engages. Æ Always shut the power off before changing modules! Fixing screws 3.4 Power supply and switch contact To activ

4 Description The basic housing has a 10/100/1000TX Ethernet connection and two USB ports (USB 1 and USB 2) for KVM applications. The console port is exclusively for maintenance work and is not user- accessible. The reset button on the left returns the device to factory default setting if required. Press this button for at least five seconds until the green power LED starts flashing to signal a reboot. The DVI module has two connections: Video In and Video Out. The VX-HDV-IP c

5 Web interface 5.1 VX-HDV-IP system start-up The VX-HDV-IP is delivered with a preconfigured IP address. Before start- up, the IP address must be reconfigured and the device defined either as encoder or decoder (the two functions cannot be used in parallel). • Connect the Ethernet port (RJ-45) of the VX-HDV-IP with shielded CAT5e cable to a Ethernet switch or network. • Connect the monitor to the Video Out port. or • Connect the video source to the Video In port.

5.2 Ethernet In the first register, you can define the IP address, the subnet mask, and the gateway. You can also allocate an IP address from the network by activating the DHCP checkbox. Before activation, make sure a DHCP server is present in the network. Two DNS server addresses can also be defined. For easier identification, you can also assign a name to the device and designate a caption. The default name is “device_0” and the device caption is “e.q. blu-ray player.” A

5.3 Transmitter stream settings You can either set up a point-to-point connection (unicast) or a multicast connection to video stream receivers in the network that support the multicast address. For connections that need to pass through firewalls, the RTSP TCP port can be separately defined. To avoid unnecessary network loading, the video stream size can be defined by setting a maximum data rate, for example, 80 Mbps (see below). For an optimal HD video stream, the data rate se

When Chroma is set to 50%, 25% of the bandwidth is used for Chroma and 75% of the bandwidth is used for Luma. When Chroma is set to 0%, 100% of the bandwidth is used for Luma. IP TTL (time to life) This is a mechanism that limits the lifetime of data in a network. Once the prescribed timespan has elapsed, data is discarded. The range is between 0–255 seconds. Reduce the refresh rate In connection with the software decoder of EIT, the refresh rate can be reduced, so that only

5.5 Choose the receiver’s EDID By default, the transmitter requires the EDID of the sink (e.g. monitor), so that the best possible resolution the receiver can handle is delivered. When an EDID is received, the transmitter sends a video stream. If the sink cannot send an EDID, the transmitter has to be set to “Use default EDID.” The video stream is then sent with the same resolution as the video source. On Multicast modus, the EDID is set automatically as “use default EDID.” Be sure

5.6 Receiver stream settings The receiver must also know where the video stream is coming from, so the transmitter IP address must be entered accordingly. If “Force HDCP” was activated on the transmitter, it must not be activated on the receiver. It is sufficient if it is only activated on one device. As with the transmitter, the different ports can also be manually adjusted on the receiver. Here again, the port details settings must be the same for transmitter and receiver to ena
