2. INTRODUCTION
The Avenview HDM-C6MWIP-SET, HDMI H.264 IP Videowall/Matrix Decoder/Encoder delivers end-to-end streaming media
over IP networks. The HDM-C6MWIP-SET is composed of two units a Decoder and an Encoder. The Decoder H.264/
MPEG-4 AVC video compression format, it receives the encoded IP signal through LAN port and decodes video/audio signal
out through HDMI interface, it also supports stereo de-embeding and streaming resolutions up to 1920 x 1200@60Hz.
Point to Point - (Direct Connection with CAT5/6) - 330ft
Point to Multi - point with CAT5/6 requires a POE Network Switch which supports port based, IGMP v2.0 or above
protocol. For large application, we would recommend Cisco SG family and the Cisco Catalyst.
Videowall and Matrix Function – with CAT 5/6 cable without any signal loss add multiple Sources to multiple encoders
which links via LAN by cascading any POE Gigabit Ethernet switches up to 3 levels, to the decoder connected to the HD
Monitors at different locations on the Network. Transporting full HD 1080p video and internally H.264 video compression
adapts to available network bandwidth if needed while retaining vivid picture with PCM audio.
- 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 1GB POE IGMP v2.0 support . Tested and configured
on the below models

3.3 NETWORKING GUIDE
www.avenview.com
Avenview M-Series HDMI over IP units can be networked together with a recommended Layer 2 Gigabit Smart Switches. As
mentioned previously in section 3 the importance of calculation for the capacity of the switch meets the requirements of the number of
encoders/decoders you have on your network. These units can perform well over a standard network infrastructure, however the
quality of this infrastructure is critical. We have tested many brands of switches all of which perform well in small system configurations
of around 10 Encoders and Decoders. However, for larger installations, Avenview highly recommends using CISCO SG300/500 or
CATALYST series switches.
It is not necessary to change the IP addresses of the encoders and decoders units – factory default AutoIP is used to configure correct
IP addresses to simply work out of the box.
DHCP addresses are not recommended, while Static addresses are for supervised setups and network strict enviroments.
Failure to note the IP settings of any unit changed may result in a complicated reset procedure.
Most M-Series installations use the POE (Power Over Ethernet) function to power the encoder & decoders units.
HDM-C6MXIP & HDM-C6MWIP devices are Class 0 rated POE devices, they can require up to 15.4W of power each, but tested their
actual power draw is between 5-7W. In order to calculate the number of devices that is recommeneded on a network switch please
divide the total POE power capacity of the switch by 15.4.
Please see the example:
CISCO SG300-52P with a POE power output of 375W: 375 / 15.4 = 24.35.From the answer 24 devices can be powered by this switch.
In order to have all ports powered by POE on a network switch, please see the example:
SG300-52MP which provides 740W. 740 / 15.4 = 48. From the answer 48 devices can be powered by this switch.
3.3.3 Data Bandwidth
Each HDM-C6MXIP-S encoder will produce up to 50Mb/s of data > therefore 10 x encoders will require 10 x 50Mb/s = 0.5 Gbps.
3.3.1 Simple Setup Guide for Network switch
M-series should be connected to a Layer 2 managed switch which supports Multicast & IGMP snooping.
Do not connect any units to the switch until all the network switch configuration has been. For recommended switches and PDF
configuration guides please see the ‘downloads’ section of any M-series device at avenview.com.

4. PC CONFIGURATOR
4.1 Setting a Static IP on Your Computer
Before using the Avenview PC Configurator, please ensure you download the most recent version from the product
HDM-C6MWIP-S Sender and HDM-C6MWIP-R Receiver website link /downloads PC control software .
All devices must be are in the same network segment. To verify and properly control the devices, please set a static IP
on your computer. See the instructions below if not sure on how to proceed:
The Sender and Receiver units are pre-configured with AutoIP. Upon connecting the units to a stand alone network
switch (without router attached), the units will be on IP address range at 169.254.1.1 and subnet mask 255.255.0.0.
Set your computer's IP address as 169.254.X.X and subnet mask as 255.255.0.0.
A Windows 7 PC/Laptop is used as an example to configure a static IP address.
1. Click Start.
2. Choose Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network and Sharing Center > Change
Adapter Settings, right click Local Area Connection, and then choose Properties.
You can connect multiple HDM-C6MWIP-S and the HDM-C6MWIP-R H.264 decoder to build a modular IP matrix. With the
PC configurator, you can configure and manage this function. For more information, see the user guide of PC configurator.

4. Select Use the following IP address. After configuring the settings in the following example,
click OK.
IP address: 169.254.2.5
Subnet mask: 255.255.0.0
5. Click OK.
Configuring Your Operating System
Firewall
Your operating system firewall may block some features of PC Configurator and prevent it from communicating
with Sender and Receiver. A computer running Windows 7 is used as an example to configure your operating
system firewall through either of the following two approaches.
Method 1
You can configure the firewall in the Windows Firewall panel on your computer, for example select both
Home/Work (Private) and Public for PC Configurator & Matrix.
www.avenview.com

12
Method 2
You can also configure the firewall in the Windows Security Alert window. When starting MaintainTool, the Windows
Security Alert may display. If so, use the administrator privileges to select a network you allow this software to
communicate on, for example select both private and public networks, and then click Allow access.

6. TROUBLESHOOTING
Problem Possible Solution
PC Configurator cannot find
devices
1. Check the Windows Firewall.
Taking Windows 7 as an example: Click Start menu, go to Control Panel
> System and Security > Windows Firewall > Allowed Programs, select
Home/Work (Private) and Public for PC configurator.
2. Check the IP address and subnet mask of your computer.
The computer, Sender, Receiver and switch should be in the same
network segment. Therefore, set your computer's IP address as
169.254.X.X and subnet mask as 255.255.0.0.
For more information, see the description in the networking guide.
Display Showing No Picture
1.Check all devices are powered on.
2.Check all cables are securely seated and connected properly.
3.Check the LED STATUS indicators on the Receivers to see if Senders and
Receivers are linked correctly. Blue Steady=OK Blue Blinking=standby
To link the devices use the PC configurator on your PC/Laptop, drag the
TX to the RX and click apply.
4.Check that source device is powered on and the HDMI cable is
connected.
PC Configurator (HDMI over IP) Maintain Tool
3. Check the switch configuration, and that IGMP snooping and all the
other functions are enabled.
Check the displays are powered on and the correct input selection.
Check the HDMI cable is plugged into the correct port.
