2.2 NGS-D200 Summary
Barco's NGS-D200 encoders (Tx)/decoders (Rx) enable seamless, point-to-point video, stereoscopic graphics and audio
distribution, plus keyboard/mouse control all with low latency. They ensure high quality collaborative experience in any
network and for any bandwidth allocation. Multi-site collaboration, simulation, training, testing and application sharing are
readily provided to small and large enterprises with unmatched visual fidelity.
The NGS-D200 leverages the power of the Barco's V2D (Video-to-data) codec. The Video-to-Data (V2D) codec is
optimized for collaboration and transmitting ultra HD computer graphics and data across networks. V2D is architected for
very high image quality, accurate color representation and sharp resolution of details and fine lines.

2.8 Device Defaults
All systems come with the following network configuration:
lMulticast: Yes
lEnabled: Yes
lPrimary: Yes
lDHCP:Yes
lMTUSize: 1500 bytes
NOTE: For more information, see "Network Configuration" on page 25
2.9 Modes of Operation
The system has two unique operating modes:
lStandalone Mode - Each device must be individually configured and managed
NOTE: TransForm N users will operate the device in this mode.
lManaged Mode (Barco Collaboration Suite) - Each device is centrally managed by the Barco Management Server
The unit must be set to operate in one of these modes. For more information, see "Standalone Mode" on page 58
2.9.1 Managed Mode
In Managed Mode, the device is used as part of networked, centrally managed, collaboration solution under the control of
the 4.x Barco Management Server. Bandwidth consumption can be dynamically provisioned in Managed mode.
If using Managed Mode, simply connect the unit to your network. If Auto Registration is enabled on the Management
Server, the NGS-D200 will be automatically registered and discovered. You can configure advanced settings centrally from
the Admin UI or use the Web UI, as described later in this document. Please see the 4.x Admin UI Setup Guide for more.
lThe device is part of a centrally managed collaboration solution that enables flexible stream routing, synchronous
recording, advanced policy management and more
l 4.x Collaboration Suite users, select this mode.
2.9.2 Standalone Mode
The device is used for simple point-to-point connections enabling sharing of visually lossless video and graphics, audio,
and ultra-low latency keyboard/mouse control over IP. In Standalone Mode, the decoder is setup to connect to the encoder
without the help of a management system.
If using the NGS-D200 as a Transform-N DVI input node, then use the device in Standalone Mode. Please see "Installation
and Configuration of TransForm N" for more on using the NGS-200 as part of the TransForm N environment
2.9.2.1 Standalone Mode Requirements
lBoth the encoders and decoders involved must:
oHave the appropriate network settings configured
oHave Standalone Mode enabled via the "Standalone Mode" page.
For more information, see "Standalone
Mode" on page 58
