2. Setting up the ANT-7000E and D
Connect the ANT-7000E Encoder to the laptop or PC you wish to view remotely with
an HDMI lead .Connect the ANT-7000E to a network using an Ethernet switch using
standard ethernet cables.
Connect the USB cable between the ANT-7000E and the Laptop/PC to be
controlled ,( if using these products for remote KVM control with Keyboard Mouse)
Connect the 12 volt power (centre +12v, 6 Watts ) input plug with mains adapter for
your Country , plugged in and switch on using on off switch.
You will see the power light turn green then 20 seconds later LINK LED flashes when
boot up is complete or is solid if a decoder is connected correctly to encoder.
You are now ready to setup the ANT-7000E Decoder.
The ANT-7000D Decoder can now be connected with an HDMI lead to a Monitor .
Connect the ethernet cable to the same switch using standard ethernet cables. If

controlling the remote PC with KVM please connect a USB keyboard and mouse to
the USB ports of the ANT-7000D.
Connect the second power adapter to the 12v input. The ANT-7000D Power LED will
turn green immediately and the Link LED will flash orange after about 20 seconds.
LINK LEDs will be solid when both units are configured seeing each other over the
network. Note! Both units can be powered using PoE as an alternative.
You are now ready to configure both units via the web interface.
3. Configuring the ANT-7000E Encoder
The ANT-7000E default IP address is 192.168.0.171 and the ANT-7000D is
192.168.0.172 . Please connect a laptop ( to be used to configure the ANT-7000
units only) to the ethernet switch. Set the laptop Ethernet IP address to be in the
same sub-domain e.g 192.168.0.XXX
Open Google Chrome or other up to date browser and browse to 192.168.0.171
3.1 System Configuration: Encoder
The System Config page allows users to change the Encoder IP address of the
encoder , subnet and Net mask and select a Decoder IP address which is to be
paired with this encoder.

Identification of Decoder
Information about Encoder
Firmware Version

Streaming mode is always set to P2P in KVM & Low Latency mode.
Other information about the firmware version is contained here.
3.2 Streaming Control: Encoder:
This page allows you to see which video input resolution is connected and to setup
the stream resolution , frame rate , GOP and other features.
The Input Video is detected automatically and by default streaming resolution is the
same, unless you select Forced Encoder Resolution pull down and choose a lower
resolution to stream (Scale).
Coding Mode: Here you select Intra Coded or GOP. We suggest intra coded as this
takes the I frame and spreads it over the P frames reducing peak network
bandwidth.
The Intra Count determines over how many P frames is one I frame divided over
GOP size is how many P to I frames in GOP mode.

Video Bit Rate and Frame rate can be selected here.
OSD allows information about bit rate to be added to the screen.
Audio information tells you if audio is present on the HDMI in and at what format is
being streamed (PCM uncompressed).
RTSP server is used if third party decoders are used like VLC player .
RTSP audio compression is either aor mu law PCM
RTSP URL would be rtsp://192.168.0.171:8554/stream
3.3 Reboot System: Encoder
This section allows you to reboot the encoder remotely via the web interface.
4.Configuration of the ANT-7000D Decoder:
The ANT-7000D default IP address is 192.168.0.172 and the ANT-7000E is
192.168.0.171 . Please connect a laptop ( to be used to configure the ANT-7000
units only) to the ethernet switch. Set the laptop Ethernet IP address to be in the
same sub-domain e.g 192.168.0.XXX
Open Google Chrome or other up to date browser and browse to 192.168.0.172

4.2 Streaming Control: Decoder
This page actually only tells you information about the encoder input resolution (Peer
Input) and what resolution is being streamed (Peer EncRes).
Display tells you what display is connected and what resolution the decoder is
outputting. If not connected to an Encoder or display this page will be blank.
4.3 Serial Control: Decoder
This page sets serial baud rate for both RS232 connections encoder and decoder
