7.2. IP Address Settings and Network Requirements
7.2.1. Auto IP Settings (Factory default)
Auto IP provides automatic IP address assignment when more devices are connected to
the same network. The default IP subnet is 169.254.x.y.
In order to discover the IP of each device, the following method can be used:
Transmitter
•Connect the TX without any HDMI input source connected to the RX. Connect
display to the RX HDMI output and select the same ID Group for both devices
using front panel buttons.
The IP address information for both devices will be displayed in the lower right
corner of the monitor. 'Local IP' is the RX IP address and 'Host IP' is the TX IP
address.
Receiver
•Connect the RX HDMI output to display. The RX will display the IP address
information in the lower right corner of the monitor. 'Local IP' is the RX IP address.

14
7.2.2. Static IP Address Configuration
When static IP addresses are required, the IP settings for each device need to be set
manually. After the default “Auto IP” address is discovered, as explained above, it will
be possible to open the configuration web page by typing the device IP address in a
web browser. Ensure that your PC is in the same network domain as your VEO
products.
The IP settings can be changed using the embedded web page:
After changing the default Ethernet settings, please remember to press the “Apply”
button.
7.2.3. DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)
If you are using switch or LAN where DHCP server is enabled, changing the IP manually
is not necessary because the DHCP server will automatically assign a unique IP address
to each device.

15
Note: Once a factory reset is performed, the IP address settings will return to “Auto IP”.
The IP address range will be restored to “169.254.x.y”.
7.2.4. Network Requirements
Use of gigabit switches with jumbo frame and IGMP support is required and will create
the most appropriate scenario for both independent IP video networks, and cases where
IP video systems share data network. The typical data rate generated by the
Transmitters is about 300Mbps, for this reason the use of dedicated networks or VLAN
is much recommended. Ensure that the switch backplane data rate performances
exceed the ones required by your VEO system.
8. SYSTEM TOPOLOGY AND CONFIGURATION
8.1. Point-to-Point Connection (Default)
When VEO-XTI2L and VEO-XRI2L are connected as a simple extension in a point-to-
point topology, no configuration is needed. The devices have a default “Auto IP” setting
(169.254.x.x) and each Transmitter will send a unicast video stream to the
corresponding Receiver by selecting the same Group ID.

16
8.2. Point-to-Multipoint Connection and Operation
When VEO-XTI2L and VEO-XRI2L are connected as a distribution system in a point-to-
multipoint configuration, both Transmitters and Receivers need to be configured as
multicast operation (please check chapter 8 and 9 of this manual). Each Receiver needs
to be set to the same ID group of the Transmitter.
7.3. Multipoint-to-Multipoint Connection and Operation
When VEO-XTI2L and VEO-XRI2L are connected as over-IP matrix system in a
multipoint-to-multipoint configuration, both Transmitters and Receivers need to be
configured as multicast devices. Each Receiver can decode the stream related to the
desired Transmitter ID group.

17
7.4. Billboard & Kiosk, PC to HDMI and USB Interactive Monitor
When the control of interactive video content using touch display, or KVM (Keyboard,
Mouse, Video) extensions are required, USB signal needs to be extended along with
Video signal. Please refer to chapter 9 of this manual for further instructions.
7.5. Videowall
When VEO-XTI2L and VEO-XRI2L are used as a videowall composer, the Transmitters
and Receivers need to be configured as multicastdevices. Each Receiver must be set to
the same Transmitter ID Group, following the instructions available in chapter 8 and 9 of
this manual.
The number of VEO Transmitters can’t exceed 253 units. In a class B
Network, the total number of VEO devices (Transmitters and Receivers) can’t
exceed 65K units.
Please avoid connecting or disconnecting HDMI cables while the VEO devices
are powered on!

18
9. PC UTILITY SOFTWARE
When the PC Utility software is installed, ensure that the PC and the VEO devices are in
the same network domain. To check the devices IP please refer to chapter 6.2.
Double-click on the icon to open software:
The Device Scan Page will appear:
Press the “Start Scan” button to search for active devices on the network and select a
TX or a RX device to make changes to IP address, Host name ID, Casting Mode,
Multicast IP, IP Mode.
As factory default, both Transmitters and Receivers are configured in “Unicast” mode
and “Auto IP”.

19
This page also allows performing a Device Reboot or a Factory Reset from remote of the
selected device.
Remember to press “Apply” after making any changes.
9.1. Mutlicast
In multipoint-to-multipoint, matrix, and videowall configuration, Transmitters and
Receivers must be set to multicast mode. Change the casting mode from Unicast to
Multicast as shown below and press Apply to confirm new settings.

20
The ID Group of each device can be selected using software. Each ID Group
corresponds to a multicast IP address as shown below.
9.2. Videowall
In order to create a videowall composition, Transmitters and Receivers must be
configured with the same multicast IP (ID Group).
Change the “Vertical Monitor Count” and “Horizontal Monitor Count” according to the
desired Videowall size.
