PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
AVoIP HDMI/VGA Encoder/Decoder User Manual (LBN-MSx)
The AVoIP HDMI/VGA Encoder(Tx) & Decoder (Rx) with PoE (over Fiber or CAT 5e) provides
stunning 4K video distribution at a very cost eective price point. Engineered for simplicity
in mind, the AVoIP System is designed to operate exactly like a conventional Matrix Switcher
and is configured to work out of box with no IP knowledge required. The AVoIP Matrix
Switching Controller automatically detects devices connected to the Encoder/Decoder
and the BCI App provides drop down menu simplicity for routing all connected devices.
Featuring advanced EDID along with HDCP management and extremely low latency video.
This is an ideal solution for digital signage with advanced video wall processing and video
distribution for training rooms, classrooms and conference rooms.
FEATURES
• Leveraging advanced network IP video technology for conventional 18G 4K HDMI video
matrix switching
• Operates exactly like a conventional HDMI video matrix switcher, via API commands or
virtual key buttons
• Perfect for users with minimum IP network knowledge/experience
• Accommodate up to HDMI 1.4 (4K@30Hz, 4:4:4) signals, with external audio, RS-232, IR,
and USB
• Extend and switch HDMI 1.4 video over CAT-5e/6 cable up to 100m, with negligible latency
• >100x100 input/output routing, based on Cisco SG300/500 Gigabit Ethernet switcher
• Remote powering via POE
• Support RS-232, Telnet, and Web GUI control
• Virtual front-panel buttons for quick, manual operation

Username: admin
Password: admin
• The routing page will be displayed showing the 2 encoders and 2 decoders.
Video Routing
The Routing page provides a matrix view of encoders and decoders in the system. Decoders
are shown on the left and encoders are shown on the top of the matrix. To set up a route, click
on the box for the corresponding connection and a check mark will appear. Click on the Apply
button to complete the route. An encoder can be routed to all decoders by clicking on All for the
corresponding Encoder and then Apply. Un-route All can be done by clicking None and then Apply.
