BZBGEAR BG-VOP-CB PRODUCT MANUAL
Introduction
The BZBGEAR IPGEAR-4K AV over IP (AVoIP) system is composed of three components.
The first is the BG-VOP-CB which is the controller for the system. Next, at least two
BG-VOP-MT transceivers are needed which function as either transmitter or receiver.
The BG-VOP-CB Smart Controller for the IPGEAR-4K system provides central management
and real-time monitoring of the BG-VOP-MT AV over IP transceivers. This highly expandable
system can manage up to 1024 transceivers. The intuitive web-based interface allows users
to quickly change sources using drag and drop commands. The interface also provides
quick and easy creation and management of video walls, custom on screen displays (OSD)
including text and graphics, and alerts for system events to keep administrators up to date.
The BG-VOP-MT is a HDMI 2.0 over IP multicast transceiver with video wall & PoE support.
It can boost audio/video transmission distances up to 120m (396ft) in UHD 4K2K. With
cost-effective ethernet cables, users can easily extend UHD sources such as DVD players,
Blu-ray Disc players, gaming consoles, PCs, and any other HDMI source to any HDMI
display. In addition, BG-VOP-MT is HDCP compliant, and supports PoE, IR, and RS-232
pass-through.
By transmitting the A/V signal over the local area network the BG-VOP-MT makes it easy to
add a source or display to your system anywhere there is an active ethernet connection. To
provide more flexibility for installations, the BG-VOP-MT can work as either a transmitter or
a receiver with the flip of a switch. When combined with broadcasting management
software and a Gigabit Ethernet network switch (supporting IGMP), the BG-VOP-MT is a
complete UHD video broadcasting solution for digital signage. The transceivers can function
in Point-to-Point, Point-to-Many, or Multicast scenarios. Multicasting requires a Managed
Gigabit Ethernet Switch with 802.1Q VLAN functionality to allow multiple video sources.
Features
●Central Control for the IPGEAR-4K AV over IP system
●Monitors all system devices from one central system
●IPGEAR-4K is a cost-effective IP video solution

●Offers control via the web interface or mobile app (iOS)
●Auto-discovery of transmitters and receivers for easy installation
●Drag & Drop matrix switching for simple operation
●Quickly and easily create and manage video walls

BZBGEAR BG-VOP-CB PRODUCT MANUAL
Note: It is recommended that all listed features are applied to every network switch that
contains the same LAN/VLAN as the AVoIP system. When using PoE (Power over Ethernet)
to power the transceivers allow for a PoE budget of 7.5 watts per unit. For example, if using
10 units make sure the switch has a total PoE budget of at least 75 watts.
For information on how to configure one of BZBGEAR’s recommended and tested AVoIP
network switches, please visit our webpage for this product.
System Setup
The following instructions assume your network can support the IPGEAR-4K AVoIP system
and is already configured properly.
1. The transceivers can function either as a transmitter or receiver by toggling the
switch on the unit to the desired position. There must be at least one transmitter and
one receiver in the system.
[Up] configure as a
transmitter
[Down] configure as a
receiver
2. Once the units are assigned as transmitter or receiver the ID of the unit will need to
be set using the dipswitch panel.
●Transmitter needs to have an individual ID so they do not conflict in the control
system. Please see the dipswitch setting chart for proper configuration for large
scale deployments.
●Receivers can be set to receive signal from any transmitter or a specific one. To
receive signal from any transmitter, leave all dip switches in the 0 position (up). To
receive signal from a specific transmitter, toggle the dipswitches on the receiver to
match the positions on the desired transmitter.

3. When the dipswitches are set, plug the transceivers into the PoE network switch to
power them on.
a. Connect sources to transmitters and displays to receivers using HDMI cables.
b. When powered and connected to a display the receivers will display the
following:
4. Next, plug an ethernet and HDMI cable into the BG-VOP-CB smart controller
followed by power last. NOTE: power for the controller must be connected last or it
will not be able to see that the HDMI port is active.
5. The BG-VOP-CB Smart Controller is preconfigured to be set to DHCP and will
automatically grab an IP address from the network. If a DHCP server is not available,
the unit will assign itself its own IP. Both controller and transceivers must be on the
same network/VLAN to communicate properly.

6. Once the controller powers on you will see the following on the connected display:
If you do not see an image, power cycle the controller with all other cables connected and
wait for the unit to reboot.
7. To access the web interface on your computer, ensure it is on the same network as
the controller. Once connected, open your web browser and navigate to the
displayed IP address adding port :8080 at the end(in this example
192.168.30.3:8080).
Enter the following:

8. Having logged in you will see connected transmitters and receivers. To pair receivers
and transmitters simply click and drag the desired transmitter to a receiver and a
pop-up message will appear stating if the pairing was successful. The unit will
display “No Signal” if a source is not detected as shown in the image below.
Note: Each IP address for every transceiver is automatically assigned by the controller.
If the transceivers do not auto populate, power cycle the controller.
9. To save a layout as a preset click “Save as” in the top right of the web interface and
select a preset 1-9.
a. To recall a preset click “Recall” and select the desired preset.
10. To edit the name of a transceiver for easier identification click the pencil next to the
name in the preview image. Type in the desired name, click apply, and then click
close.

Video Wall Setup
The IPGEAR-4K AVoIP system is also capable of forming a video wall display with at least 2
receivers and 1 transmitter up to a maximum 5x5 display (25 displays). To create a video
wall, select the “Video Wall” tab from the left-hand menu in the web interface.

right.
4. Click the Receiver/RX name to adjust for bezel corrections (see below).
5. Save the video wall configuration by selecting a preset number from the “Preset”
dropdown. Type in a Preset name (optional) and click “Save” in the top right.

BZBGEAR BG-VOP-CB PRODUCT MANUAL
Bezel Correction
Method 1 - Sliders
The BG-VOP-CB offers two methods of bezel correction. The first option is referenced in
step 4 of the Video Wall Preset Setup detailed above. To adjust bezel settings, users simply
need to click on the name of the assigned RX in the video wall preview. When the name of
the RX is clicked a screen will appear with adjustment sliders. Each edge of the screen can
be adjusted independently using the sliders.
For vertical edges positive
values shift the image up and
negative values shift the image
down.
For horizontal edges positive
values shift the image to the
right and negative values shift
the image to the left.
Method 2 – Advanced Options
The second method for bezel correction can be found in ‘Advanced Options’ below the
‘Video Wall Preset’ section. This section allows users to adjust the bezel correction more
precisely. This method should only be used for fixed video wall displays that will not use
multiple presets.
NOTE: Recalling a video wall preset will override any settings made in this section!*

BZBGEAR BG-VOP-CB PRODUCT MANUAL
1. To apply the setting to each individual display, first select the associated receiver
from the pull-down RX list.
2. Define the video wall layout in the ‘Wall Size & Position Layout’ section.
3. Assign the display position in the layout. Entering the receiver’s position in the Row
and Column Position fields. *The top left display in the video wall (TV 1) will be at
Row Position 0, Column Position 0.*
4. Enter the display dimensions in the ‘Bezel and Gap Compensation’ section. *These
measurements are entered in units of .1mm.*
OW and OH represent Outside Width and Outside Height. These measurements should be
obtained by measuring from the outside edges of the display frame (bezel).
VW and VH represent Video Width and Video Height. These measurements should be
obtained by measuring from the edges of the image area of the display (usually the inside
edge of the bezel).
5. Click Apply.
