The QuickVu 4K uses standard ethernet LAN networking. To access the Web RCS, connect a computer to the QuickVu 4K using the Ethernet cable. Then on the computer, open an internet browser (Google Chrome is recommended). Into this internet browser, enter the IP address of the QuickVu 4K displayed on the front panel screen (192.168.2.140 by default). The connecon starts. Oen, computers are set to DHCP client (automac IP detecon) mode. You may need to change the IP address conguraon on your computer before you can connect. These sengs are found in the properes for your LAN network adaptor, and vary by operang system. The default IP address on the QuickVu 4K is 192.168.2.140 with a netmask of 255.255.255.0. Therefore, you can assign your computer a stac IP address of 192.168.2.100 and a netmask of 255.255.255.0 and should be able to connect. For more informaon, please refer to the User Manual or contact Analog Way Technical Support.

The HDCP encrypon can be disabled on HDMI and DisplayPort inputs and/or output. This is useful when your computer detects the HDCP compliance of your switcher and protects the content by encrypng the signal from this computer. This feature will di- sable the HDCP compliance on this specic HDMI/DP input only. If you want to use HDCP content from your sources, be sure to use only HDCP compliant screens or projectors. Otherwise, the output image could be disabled. Screen will go to black without displaying the HDCP input image, or concerned layers will output to grey. The output status provide all informaon about the output in real me. This feature is parcularly useful when HDCP is used with long cable to be sure the communicaon is well handled.
