2. INTRODUCTION
The Avenview CTRLPRO-MIP, IP Controller simply provides communication to our M Series and third party controllers to
communicate Telnet and RS-232 commands to automate high definition video and high quality audio to multiple screens. This
device can be accessed from a WEB Browser and allow control commands to Avenview Video IP solution allowing connection
by the following:
-Point to Multi- Point with CAT5/6 requires a Managed/Unmanaged Network Switch (Cisco SG300 & SG500 series or Huawei
S2700) which supports port based IEEE 802.1 VLAN, IGMP v2.0 or above protocol.
-Matrix Function – with CAT 5/6 cable without any signal loss add multiple Sources to multiple RX which links via LAN by
cascading Managed Ethernet switches up to 3 levels, to the Rx connected to the HD Monitors at different locations on the
Network. Transporting Full HD 1080p video and internally JPEG video compression adapts to available network bandwidth if
needed while retaining vivid picture with 5.1 PCM audio.
Videowall Function with CAT 5/6 cable without any signal loss add multiple Sources to multiple TX and RX to the HD
displays to achieve a Multi Input videowall configuration. The device ensures flexibility within any videowall design, layout and
configuration. Its modular design allows example 1x2 ,2x2 3x3 up to 16x16. Easily controlled via the Control Software to
manage and setup the bezel, input and configuration of the Videowall.
The CTRLPRO-MIP controller has the ability to communicate via telnet or RS232 from third party control systems such
as Crestron ,Amx, and Control 4 to perform matrix switching and videowall fucntionality with auto detect function of
unlimited number of TX/RX devices.
NOTE: The QUALITY and TRANSMISSION of the video signals depends on the characteristics and quality of the UTP cables and
Network Infrastructure . We recommend any Network Switches with 10GB POE IGMP v2.0 support . Tested and configured on
the below models . Downloads of how to guides available on Avenview website

2.2 BEFORE INSTALLATION
•Put the product in a level and stable location. If the product falls, it may cause damage or malfunction to components
within the casing.
•Do not place the product in temperatures under 0˚C or over 50˚C. High humidity may also cause the unit to malfunction.
•Use the DC power adapter with correct specifications supplied with the unit. If the improper power supply is used, this
may result in malfunction of the unit and may cause fire.
•Do not twist or pull by force the ends of the UTP cable. It will cause malfunction.

NOTE
The QUALITY and TRANSMISSION of the video signals depends on the
characteristics and quality of the UTP cables. Higher resolutions and longer
transmission distances require low skew cables (<25ns/upto 300m) for best
performance. Unshielded CAT6 with metal RJ-45 connectors is recommended.

BASIC OPERATION
4.1 Matrix Switching Commands
Tabs at the top of the Home Screen page are used to access settings for Matrix, TX/RX Settings and System Settings.
All pages display Telnet API boxes where commands can be entered from the CTRLPRO-MIP API.
Click the Load Matrix button, a table of devices will appear with TX units across the top and the RX down the left side.
Press the "empty box" that links each TX & RX to test switching of the video to each RX. Devices with names starting with
EX131 are transmitters where as devices that start with EX141 are receivers.
Device online Device offline
A green bar represents corresponding TX
and RX are connected.
Clicking the green bar changes colour to
clear to signify the corresponding TX and
RX are disconnected.
A red bar denotes TX/RX connection is
being processed
A clear bar signifies corresponding TX and
RX are not connected. Click to connect.

To remove unwanted offline TX or RX units from the scene use the ‘X’ icon next to its name in the matrix or use the
API command: config set device remove name (name is the alias or the device number).

4.2
Setup TX/RX Settings
The TX/RX Settings section enables IP settings and alias of each TX and RX to be configured as well as rebooting the system
and factory resetting the devices.
Get started by selecting the device to be configured from the list displayed and configure options as below:
4.3 IP Setup
GUI Element Description
Auto IP Obtain IP address automatically
DHCP IP address assigned by DHCP server
Static IP address manually configured
IP Address IP address of TX/RX
Subnet Mask Subnet mask of TX/RX
Default Gateway Default gateway of TX/RX.

4.4 Alias
Alias’ can be used in conjunction with API commands to simplify and shorten programming.
Note: Alias cannot contain any of the following symbols or combinations of letters/numbers : ‘,’ ‘;’ ‘_’ ‘@’, ‘*’,
‘&’, ‘EX131’, ‘EX363’, ‘EX373’, ‘EX383’, ‘EX393’, ‘TX’, ‘EX141’, ‘EX403’, ‘RX’

GUI Element Description
Rate Control
CBR Constant Bit Rate - Best used in systems where bandwidth is limited and must
match exactly the calculated amount.
VBR Variable Bit Rate - Best used for optimal quality/bandwidth usage trade off
FixQP
Fixed Quantization Parameter - QP is an index used to derive a scaling matrix.
Quantization in an H.264 encoder is controlled by a quantization parameter, QP, that
ranges from 0 to 51.
Avg Bitrate The bitrate that the encoder will inject into the network
Profile The H.264 standard defines a sets of capabilities, which are referred to as profiles,
targeting specific classes of applications.
H.264 Baseline Profile Primarily for applications that require low latency and additional data loss robustness, this
profile is most suited for use in video conferencing applications.
H.264 Main Profile This profile is best used where a compromise between latency and quality is required.
H.264 High Profile This profile is useful particularly for high-definition/high quality applications where
latency is not a concern.
GOP: Group of Pictures
The GOP is a group of successive pictures within a coded video stream. From the
pictures contained in it, the visible frames are generated. The higher the value the
higher the image quality.
FPS: Frames Per Second The FPS rating is used to set the frequency at which the encode captures the video
stream. The higher the value the higher the image motion quality.
Transport Type
RAW transmits the H.264 bit stream without any container information. TS wraps the bit
stream in an MPEG2 container. There is no difference in quality between the two
settings.

System Settings contains the settings for the IP control box, it features two separate network connections for communication
with RX/TX devices and communication with the PC/control system.
Each setting must be on the same subnet as other devices to enable communication between all devices.
The default Auto IP setting is recommended for RX & TX communication - devices will use Bonjour to discover each other.
