7.0 OSD (On Screen Display)
There are built-in OSDs in the HDMI-IP-R’s HDMI output that provides various important
information for the setup. The default IP addresses for both the HDMI-IP-E (Tx) and
HDMI-IP-R(Rx), can be obtained from the OSD by simply plugging the HDMI-IP(Rx) HDMI
output to the monitor.
Here is an OSD screen capture when the HDMI-IP-R is plugged into the monitor without
any network connection.
1. FW Version
2. RX IP address (HDMI-IP-R) is initially at 0.0.0.0
3. TX IP address (HDMI-IR-E) is initially at 0.0.0.0
4. Group ID: It reflects either the hardware Multicast ID DIP Switch (See Section 5)
or the SW Muticast ID Setting (See Section XX)
5. Decice ID: IPTV
6. Status: Waiting for Connection …

Fig. 8-1: Initial OSD Screen shot after HDMI-IP-R’s HDMI output is connected to the
monitor without any network connection.
In order to get the default IP address of the HDMI-IP-R(Rx), the network (LINK) must be
connected either directly to a HDMI-IP-E or a network switch. As you can see the IP
address for the HDMI-IP-R (Rx) is now part of the OSD.
Fig. 8-2: OSD Screen capture after the HDMI-IP-R(Rx) is connected to a network switch
Connect the HDMI-IP-E(TX) either directly to the HDMI-IP-R(RX) or via a network switch,
the IP address of the HDMI-IP-E(TX) will display on the OSD

1. In order for the HDMI-IP-E(TX) and HDMI-IP-R (RX) communicate and
find each other, the Multicast IP address must be set to the same.
2. When the webpage is first launched, the Multicast IP address is read
back from the HDMI-IP-E/R (Tx/Rx)’s Multicast ID Settings.
3. If the Multicast IP is set in the Webpage, then the webpage setting will
overwrite the hardware DIP switch setting, until the Tx/Rx has been
power cycled
4. The OSD will reflect the last Unicast IP setting regardless it is done by
webpage or DIP switch
