Warnings of FCC
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a
Class B digital device, according to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates uses and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used following the instructions, may
cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this
equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception,
which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following
measures:
-- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
-- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
-- Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that to
which the receiver is connected.
-- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.

Introduction
Overview
AVP-4K30 series encoders (AVP-EN4K-101) and decoders (AVP-DE4K-101)
provide a flexible, powerful, and scalable solution at resolutions up to 3840 x
2160@60Hz 4:2:0, 3840 x 2160@30Hz 4:4:4. Allow 4K UHD media to be
switched and distributed over standard gigabit Ethernet networks, providing
complete end-to-end streaming systems. Audio, video together with IR, and
USB signals can be routed separately or as a whole throughout the matrix
system. Encoders can be used with decoders to function video walls up to the
dimensions of 16 x 16. Both of them can handle and output up to 7.1 channel
audio, allowing you to enjoy the finest sound.
HDCP 2.2 specifications are employed. A local area network is covered with a
range of up to 100m (330ft) over a single Cat 5e cable or above. Standard
features like bi-directional serial, bi-directional IR, and independent analog
audio input/output are included. The codecs allow USB extensions to take
place to control a keyboard and a mouse. AVP-4K30 series offer integration-
friendly control features——the front panel link DIP switch, Windows PC
configurator (HDMIOverIPConsole), AGS-i TOUCH on iPad, and IP controller
(AVP-CBS2K-101) providing simple, flexible control, and management
options. They are the perfect solution for any low-latency and signal-routing
applications. Common applications include homes, classrooms, conference
rooms, and broadcasts.

output the audio device's audio signals instead
of that from the HDMI video source. If this
audio port is connected via an audio cable but
