3About this Manual
This manual describes the operation of the domo IP Hardware Decoder
Product. The manual is divided into three main sections.
•Getting started and basic operation
This section describes to users how to deploy and use a domo IP Hardware
Decoder.
•Advanced operation
This section describes the operation of the system in more detail,
concentrating particularly on how to change advanced parameters.
•Technical reference
This section provides technical specification and control protocol data and
will be of interest to those integrating the IP Hardware Decoder into larger
systems.

4Introduction
The domo IP Hardware Decoder is a professional digital video decoder
designed to receive multicast audio/video streams from Ethernet networks
and output decoded video in composite and S-Video formats, as well as
stereo audio. The IP decoder is designed to be used with domo
NETSTREAM and other domo streaming video products such as the CRX
Central Receiver.
The domo IP Hardware Decoder (NETIPHW2) is a 19’’ Rack product that
incorporates two video decoders into a single chassis. The unit is designed
to receive streaming video services from Ethernet networks and decode
these back to video for connection to monitoring equipment in control room
facilities. The IP Hardware Decoder incorporates low delay decoding
technology as well as optional AES decryption for security.
The NETIPHW2 decoder has two physical Decoder cards fitted. At first
release each decoder supports one channel of decoding. However, in the
future, as an upgrade, it will be possible for each Decoder card to decode
two channels of video. This will enable one NETIPHW2 to decode and
output up to 4 Video / Audio services.
The IP Hardware decoder complements the domo SOLO4 and SOLO2
product range, which enable the user to build wireless digital microwave
video systems. The standard domo SOLO4 and SOLO2
Encoder/Transmitter and Receiver/Decoder products have been designed
to provide rugged point-to-point links for high quality full frame rate video,
and audio, even in non line of sight and urban environments.

5Warranty and Support
5.1 Warranty Cover
domo offers a 12 month standard product warranty. During this period,
should the customer encounter a fault with the equipment we recommend
the following course of action:
•Check the support section of the website for information on that product and
any software/firmware upgrades. If fault persists;
•Call our support line and report the fault. If fault persists and you are
informed to return the product please obtain an RMA number from the domo
support department, and ship the equipment with the RMA number
displayed and a description of the fault. Please email the support section
the airway bill/consignment number for tracking purposes.
•If you have extended warranty provisions then domo will send an immediate
advance replacement to you. Under most circumstances this must be
returned once the fault item is repaired.
Depending on the nature of the fault domo endeavour to repair the
equipment and return it to the customer within 14 days of the item arriving at
our workshops.
Obviously it is impossible to cater for all types of faults and to manage 100%
replacement part availability, and delays are sometimes inevitable. This is
why domo recommend that its customers take out an extended warranty
(which includes advanced replacement of faulty items), and/or hold a basic
level of spare parts, which can be held by domo on the customer’s behalf.
Please contact domo for details of packages that can be tailored to meet
your individual needs, whether they are service availability, technical
training, local geographic support or dedicated spares holdings.

7Getting Started and Basic Operation
7.1 Which Model Do I Have
IP decoder units are marked with the new style domo product labels as
shown below. The product code is at the bottom left of the label, and the
serial number is in the middle.
The domo product code can be referenced in the table below.

Note: It is assumed the customer will supply CAT5 RJ45 Ethernet cables
and S-Video cables, if connecting to an S-Video monitor.
The NETIPHW2 decoder has two physical Decoder cards fitted. At first
release each decoder supports one channel of decoding. However, in the
future, as an upgrade, it will be possible for each Decoder card to decode
two channels of video.
7.2 Controls
There are no physical controls on the IP Decoder, as the unit is controlled
from a standard web browser running on a PC or laptop.
If the IP address of neither Ethernet port is known, first follow the procedure described in the section ‘Initial
IP Set-up’.
