The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is
intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage”
within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to
constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user
to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing)
instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance.
WARNING (If applicable): The terminals marked with symbol of “ ” may be of
sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock. The external wiring connected
to the terminals requires installation by an instructed person or the use of ready-made
leads or cords.
WARNING:To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose this equipment to rain or
moisture.
WARNING:An apparatus with Class I construction shall be connected to a mains
socket-outlet with a protective earthing connection.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1. Read these instructions.
2. Keep these instructions.
3. Heed all warnings.
4. Follow all instructions.
5. Do not use this apparatus near water.
6. Clean only with dry cloth.

manufacturer’s instructions.

6
8. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or
other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
9. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding type plug. A
polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type
plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third
prong are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet,
consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.
10. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at the plugs,
convenience receptacles, and at the point where they exit from the apparatus.
11. Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
12. Unplug the apparatus during lightening sorts or when unused for long periods of
time.
13. Refer all servicing to qualified personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus
has been damaged in any way, such as power supply cord or plug is damaged,
liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has
been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.
14. Disconnecting from mains: When switching off the POWER switch, all the
functions and light indicators of the unit will be stopped, but fully disconnecting
the device from mains is done by unplugging the power cable from the mains input
socket. For this reason, it always shall remain easily accessible.
15. Equipment is connected to a socket-outlet with earthing connection by means of
a power cord.
16. The marking information is located at the bottom of apparatus.
17. The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and that no objects
filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on apparatus.

6.6. Description of the audio control button
Transmitter
The "Audio" button on the VEO-XTI2L transmitter allows the "Line in" input to be
selected. The external audio will be embedded in the video stream of the HDMI input,
overwriting any original audio that may exist
Receiver
The "Audio" button on the VEO-XRI2L receiver selects between the "Line out" and
"SPDIF out" outputs, through which a copy of the audio received from the transmitter will
be extracted. The audio from the HDMI video signal will still be present in the video stream
in either case

INSTALLATION AND CONFIGURATION
7.1. Start-up
1. Check that the power supply is unplugged
2. Connect the transmitter to the video source, and the receiver to a monitor or
display, using HDMI cables
3. Connect the USB cables from the transmitter to the PC, and connect additional
USB devices such as the USB mouse, USB keyboard and USB memory stick to the
receiver
4. Connect the transmitter and receiver to the Ethernet switch using the network
cable
5. Switch on and activate all connected devices
6. Switch on the transmitter, receiver or PoE switch
7. Connect the IR extension cable to the transmitter, and the IR receiver cable to the
receiver, in order to have remote control
7.2. How to find out the IP address of devices
VEO-XTI2L and VEO-XRI2L devices have the "Auto IP" function set by default. This
provides automatic IP address assignment on devices that are connected to the same
network. The factory-set IP subnet is 169.254.x.y.
To find out the IP for each device, it is recommended to consult the ‘How to find devices
in EclerNet Manager’ and ‘How to find devices using Control Centre’ chapters.
If you do not have a PC, it is also possible to find out the IP address using the following
procedure:

16
Receiver
•Connect the HDMI output of the receiver to a display. The receiver will display the
IP address information in the lower right-hand corner of the monitor. The 'Local IP'
is the address for the receiver
Transmitter
•Connect the transmitter, with no source connected to the HDMI input on the
receiver. Then, with the RX connected to a display via the HDMI output, select the
same Group ID for both devices using the front panel buttons. The IP address
information for both devices will be displayed in the lower right-hand corner of the
monitor. The 'Local IP' is the address of the receiver and the 'Host IP' is the address
of the transmitter.

17
7.3. Requirements and recommendations for using a VEO IP video network
It is necessary to use gigabit switches with support for Jumbo Frame (or, if this is not
available, the ability to extend the size of the IP packet) and IGMP. This will create the
most appropriate scenario both for standalone IP video networks, and for cases where IP
video systems share the network with other data streams.
The typical transmission speed generated by these devices is approximately 300Mbps,
so the use of dedicated networks or VLANs is highly recommended. You must ensure that
the processing performance of the gigabit switch is greater than the performance
required by the VEO system.
The measured bandwidth shows the video traffic in a typical installation, providing both
the average value and the minimum and maximum performance variations (Mbps) in the
table below:

SYSTEM TOPOLOGY AND CONFIGURATIONS
Note: Connecting or disconnecting HDMI cables while VEO devices are switched on may
result in video signal dropouts while a stable connection is re-established.
8.1. Point-to-point connection
When the VEO-XTI2L and VEO-XRI2L are connected as a simple extension within a
point-to-point topology, no configuration is required. The devices have a default setting
of "Auto IP" (169.254.x.x), and each transmitter will send a unicast video stream to the
corresponding receiver when the same Group ID is selected. Point-to-point connection is
the default.
8.2. Point-to-multipoint connections and operations
When the VEO-XTI2L and VEO-XRI2L are connected as a distribution system within a
point-to-multipoint connection, both the transmitters and the receivers must be
configured as multicast (refer to the ‘Which functions are available when operating the
devices via EclerNet Manager?’, ‘Configuring the Casting Mode using the Control Centre’
and ‘Casting Mode’ chapters in this manual). Each receiver must be set to the same group
ID as the transmitter.

19
8.3. Multipoint-to-multipoint connections and operations
When the VEO-XTI2L and VEO-XRI2L are to be used as an IP matrix system within a
multipoint-to-multipoint connection, both the transmitters and the receivers must be
configured as multicast devices. Each receiver can decode the stream related to the group
ID of the desired transmitter.
8.4. Connections for interactive applications
When it is necessary to control interactive video content via touch screens, or to have
KVM extensions (keyboard, mouse, video), the USB signals must be extended, in addition
to the video signals. Refer to the ‘USB data over IP Extension’ chapter of this manual for
further instructions.

20
8.5. Video wall mode
When the VEO-XTI2L and VEO-XRI2L are to be used in video wall mode, both the
transmitters and the receivers must be configured as multicast devices. Each receiver
must be set to the same Group ID as the transmitter, following the instructions provided
in the ‘Configuring video wall mode using the control centre’ and ‘Configuring video wall
mode using the web interface’ chapters of this manual.
In a video wall type structure, configurations should not exceed the following:
•More than 253 transmitters
•More than 64 receivers (dimensions 8x8, 64x1, etc.)
Note: In a class B network, the total number of VEO devices (transmitters and receivers)
cannot exceed 65000 units.
