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 source connected on the HDMI input to an RX.
Connect a display to the RX HDMI output and select the same ID Group for both
devices using the frontal 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 address and 'Host IP' is the TX address.
Receiver
Connect the RX HDMI output to a display. The RX will display the IP address
information in the lower right corner of the monitor. 'Local IP' is the RX address.

14
7.2.2. Static IP Address Configuration
When static addresses are required, the IP settings of each device need to be changed
manually. After the default “Auto IP” address has been discovered, as explained above,
it will be possible to enter in the configuration web page just digiting the device address
on a web browser. Ensure that your PC is in the same VEO products network domain.
The IP settings can be changed using the embedded web page:
After changing the default Ethernet settings, please remember to press the “Apply”
button.

15
7.2.3. DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)
If you are using a Switch or a LAN where a DHCP server is enabled, changing the IP
manually it is not necessary because the DHCP server will automatically assing a unique
IP address to each device.
Note: Once a factory reset is performed, the IP address settings will return to “Auto IP”.
The IP address will be restored to “169.254.x.y” range.
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 very recommended. Ensure that the switch backpane data rate performances exceed
the ones required by your VEO system.

16
8. SYSTEM TOPOLOGY AND CONFIGURATIONS
8.1. Point-to-Point Connection (Default)
When the VEO-XTI2L and VEO-XRI2L are connected as simple extension in a point-to-
point topology, any 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 just selecting the same Group ID.
8.2. Point-to-Multipoint Connections and Operations
When the VEO-XTI2L and VEO-XRI2L are connected as distibution system in a point-
to-multipoint connection, both Transmitters and Reveivers need to be configured as
multicast operation (please check chapter 8 and 9 of this manual). Each Receiver needs
to be set on the same ID group of the Transmitter.

17
7.3 Multipoint-to-Multipoint Connections and Operations
When the VEO-XTI2L and VEO-XRI2L are connected as a over IP matrix system in a
multipoint-to-multipoint connection, both Transmitters and Receivers need to be
configured as multicast devices. Each Receiver can decode the stream related to the
desired Transmitter ID group.
7.4 Billboard & Kiosk, PC to HDMI and USB Interactive Monitor
When the control of interactive video contents via touch displays is required, or KVM
(Keyboard, Mouse, Video) extensions are required, USB signals need to be extended
along with Video signals. Please refer to chapter 9 of this manual for further
instructions.

18
7.5 Video Wall
When the VEO-XTI2L and VEO-XRI2L are used as a video wall composer, both
Transmitters and Receivers need to be configured as multicast devices. Each Receiver
must be set on the same Transmitter ID Group, following the instructions available on
chapter 8 and 9 of this manual.
The number of VEO Transmitter can’t exceed the number of 253 units. In a
class B Network, the total number of VEO devices (Transmitter and Receivers)
can’t exceed the number of 65K units.
Please avoid connecting or disconnecting HDMI cables while the VEO devices
are powered on!
9. PC UTILITY SOFTWARE
Once the PC Utility software has been 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 clicking on the icon to open the software:
