EL-4KPM-VIP-CTRL/TX/RX USER MANUAL
08 www.elanhomesystems.com
The ELAN Video Over IP system distributes HDMI video over layer 3 managed network hardware. It is advised that ELAN Video Over IP
products are connected on an independent network switch to prevent interference or drop in signal performance due to other network
products.
ELAN’s Video Over IP products are compatible with various brands of networking hardware. ELAN only supports 3rd party networking
equipment that has been tested and verified to work. Please see the ELAN Video Over IP Integration Notes for information on
supported 3rd party networking equipment.
Supported 3rd party Ethernet hardware supports the following features:
Video Over IP
Video Over IP (one-to-many or many-to-many distribution) is group communication where information is addressed to a group of
network devices simultaneously (ELAN EL-4KPM-VIP-RX Receivers).
Instant Leave/Fast Leave/Immediate Leave
This feature is a feature associated with Video Over IP and means that as soon as an active connection is no longer required (the link
between Transmitter and Receiver) the Video Over IP group and flow of track is stopped instantly. This prevents unnecessary flow of
network traffic on the network switch.
IGMP Snooping
IGMP snooping is the process of listening to Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) network traffic. The feature allows a network
switch to listen in on the IGMP conversation between hosts and routers (Transmitters and Receivers). By listening to this flow of traffic
the switch maintains a map of which links need which IP Video Over IP streams. Video Over IPs may be filtered from the links which do
not need them and thus controls which ports receive specific Video Over IP traffic.
Jumbo Frames/Jumbo Packets/MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit)
Jumbo frames are Ethernet frames with more than 1500 bytes of payload. Conventionally, jumbo frames can carry up to 9000 bytes of
payload, but variations exist and some care must be taken using the term. Many Gigabit Ethernet switches can support jumbo frames.
Please Note:
ELAN have worked with many network switch providers to create setup guides and saved configuration files to help configure the
products to work with the Video Over IP hardware. These configuration files can be downloaded from the ELAN website.

Audio Connections
1Analog L/R Line Level audio input
The Analog line level input can be used to replace the original HDMI audio of the source connected to the Video Over IP
Transmitter with Analog L/R 2ch line level audio. The embedded Analog audio is then distributed with the adjacent HDMI video
signal throughout the Video Over IP system.
Switching between original HDMI audio and embedded line level analog 2ch audio is achieved using ELAN serial/Telnet/IP
commands.
Note: It is only possible to select EITHER HDMI audio or local Analog line input. It is not possible to distribute both audio sources at
the same time.
2Analogue L/R Line Level audio output
The EL-4KPM-VIP-RX Video Over IP Receiver includes audio breakout from the selected HDMI source to associated Analogue L/R
audio outputs. Extracted audio will be concurrent with the corresponding HDMI video output.
Note: The source input must be PCM 2ch audio for Analogue audio outputs to work. The ELAN Video Over IP products do not
down-mix Dolby Digital, DTS or 5.1ch audio signals.

EL-4KPM-VIP-CTRL/TX/RX USER MANUAL
10 www.elanhomesystems.com
The ELAN Video Over IP system can be controlled using local IR hardware connected directly to the EL-4KPM-VIP-RX Receiver. This
prevents the need for a third party control solution. Only the source selection feature is available using local IR control through the
Receiver. For advanced features such as video wall mode, audio embedding etc you will need to use RS-232 or TCP/IP control.
ELAN has created 80 IR commands allowing source selection of up to 80 EL-4KPM-VIP-TX Transmitters. For systems larger than 80
source devices (EL-4KPM-VIP-TX) we recommend the EL-4KPM-VIP-CTRL control module.
The full list of ELAN IR codes can be found at the rear of this manual on page 60 ‘Video Over IP Infrared Commands’
Infrared Control
Input (Transmitter) Selection
The ELAN remote control can be used with any ELAN EL-4KPM-VIP-RX Receiver product and
can select up to 80 source inputs (transmitters).
Using the remote:
Sources 1-40 are selected using the input selection buttons 1-40
Sources 41-80 are selected by first activating the ‘secondary control mode’ which is
achieved by pressing and holding source button 1 for 5 seconds. Once this mode is active
the buttons 1-40 are now selecting sources 41-80.
To return control back to source inputs 1-40 simply press and hold source button 1 for 5
seconds to revert to ‘main control mode’.

EL-4KPM-VIP-CTRL/TX/RX USER MANUAL
RS-232 (Serial) Bi-Directional Pass-Through
The Video Over IP products feature bi-directional RS-232 pass-through for control of products using serial commands.
There are multiple methods for distribution of RS-232 using the ELAN Video Over IP solution which include:-
Note: Only one method of RS-232 pass-through can be used at the same time. It is not possible to mix different methods of RS-232
control.
1) Type-1 Redirection Mode:- 1-to-1 routed RS-232
A link is programmed that creates an open connection between ANY Video Over IP product in the system (Transmitters or Receivers).
Once established the RS-232 commands can be sent in either direction between products.
Multiple links can be created between Video Over IP products for additional independent product control.
2) Type 2 Dumb Redirection Mode:- 1-to-many routed RS-232
A link is opened when a receiver(s) is connected to a transmitter in the system. Once established the RS-232 commands can be sent
in either direction between products, allowing a single command to be sent to 1 or many receivers at the same time I.E - All displays
powered on. If the source is changed
3) Type 2 Guest Mode:- Telnet/IP conversion to RS-232
This method of control converts a Telnet/IP control command into an RS-232 command. A link is programmed that creates an open
connection between an EL-4KPM-VIP-CTRL control module and any EL-4KPM-VIP-TX or RX (Transmitters or Receivers) product in the
system. Telnet/IP commands are sent into the EL-4KPM-VIP-CTRL from a third party control solution. This is then converted into an
RS-232/serial command for control of third party products.

3) Select the checkbox for 'Type 2 guest mode'
Ensure all Baudrate settings are correct for the product that you wish to control.
Note this is only for setting the baudrate of the TX or RX unit. To adjust the CM100 baudrate you will need
to do this via the dipswitches on page 7 of this manual.
RS-232 Guest Mode Communication
1) To open a Guest Mode connection between the EL-4KPM-VIP-CTRL and an EL-4KPM-VIP-TX or RX unit you must send the
following command via IP or RS-232 into the EL-4KPM-VIP-CTRL:
INxxxGUEST Connect to TX xxx in Guest mode from the EL-4KPM-VIP-CTRL
OUTxxxGUEST Connect to RX xxx in Guest mode from the EL-4KPM-VIP-CTRL
Example: Transmitter one is ID 001, meaning 'IN001GUEST' will allow bi-directional Serial or TCP/IP
commands between EL-4KPM-VIP-CTRL and Transmitter 001.
2) Once a connection is established, any characters that you send from the EL-4KPM-VIP-CTRL will be transmitetd to the
EL-4KPM-VIP-TX or RX that you have connected with, and vice versa.
3) To close the connection you must send the escape command 0x02 (02 in Hex).
If using telnet you can also close the connection by pressing CTRL + B.

EL-4KPM-VIP-CTRL/TX/RX USER MANUAL
The ELAN Video Over IP system can be configured without the need of a computer, allowing basic setup options such as addressing of
products (IP configuration), EDID setup and scaler output setup.
Manual configuration does not require the product to be connected to a network switch in order to be set up, they only require the
units to be powered either by local power supply (24-54V 1A) or by a PoE switch/power injector. This means total configuration can
easily be achieved offsite without any network hardware.
Note: Advanced features such as video walls cannot be set up via manual configuration, and requires the PC software.
Configuring the EL-4KPM-VIP-TX
1) Power the Video Over IP product - To configure the Video Over IP Transmitter first connect the product to a power supply (local or
PoE network) and wait for the product to boot up. The front panel LED display will rotate whilst booting and display a 2 digit number
when complete.
2) Put the Video Over IP product into 'Local Configuration' mode - Once the product is powered press both the 'UP' and 'DOWN'
channel buttons on the front panel at the same time for 6 seconds to enter 'Local configuration' mode. You will know that the EL-
4KPM-VIP-TX is in this mode as the LCD front display of the product will show 'LC'.
3) Assign the Transmitter ID (IP address) - Once the product is local configuration mode the display will begin to flash with a lower-
case 't' to indicate that you are about to assign the transmitter identity. The identity will also be the IP address that is automatically
assigned so it is of upmost importance that you do not assign any 2 Video Over IP Transmitter products with the same ID/IP address.
The first ID you should assign is ID1 = 169.254.3.1 (IP address 1)
The second ID you should assign is ID2 = 169.254.3.2 (IP address 2)
And so on....
Once you have selected the ID number press both Channel 'UP' and 'DOWN' buttons at the same time to move on to setting the EDID.
4) Set the EDID - Once the product is in EDID configuration mode the display will begin to flash with a lowercase 'e' to indicate that
you are about to assign an EDID value. Use the 'UP' and 'DOWN' arrows to select the EDID setting required. A full list of EDID settings
can be found on page 18 'EDID Control'.
For example: If the display shows '00' the EDID will be 1080P 2CH.
Once you have selected the EDID required press both Channel 'UP' and 'DOWN' buttons at the same time to finalize the setup. The
Video Over IP product will reboot with the new configuration settings applied.
5) Configuring the EL-4KPM-VIP-RX
Configuring the identity of the EL-4KPM-VIP-RX Receiver is the same steps (steps 1 to 3) as shown above for the configuration of the
EL-4KPM-VIP-TX. When ID has been assigned the Receivers have the following IP addresses:
The first Receiver ID assigned is ID1 = 169.254.6.1 (IP address 1)
The second Receiver ID is ID2 = 169.254.6.2 (IP address 2)
And so on....
6) Set the Video Scaler of the Receiver - Once the product ID has been configured the display will begin to flash with a lowercase 's'
to indicate that you are about to set the scaler output. Use the 'UP' and 'DOWN' arrows to select the scaler setting required. A full list
of scaler settings can be found on page 19 'Scaler Output Control'.
For example: If the display shows '10' the Scaler output will be 4K 30Hz.
Once you have selected the Scaler output required press both Channel 'UP' and 'DOWN' buttons at the same time to finalize the
setup. The Video Over IP product will reboot with the new configuration settings applied.

EDID Control
EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) is a data structure that is used between a display and a source. This data is used by the
source to find out what audio and video resolutions are supported by the display device. From this information the source will discover
what the best audio and video resolutions need to be outputted.
In a normal Matrix based system issues do arise when multiple displays or video matrix switching is introduced because of the
increased number of variables.
In the ELAN Video Over IP system each source device only communicates with a single ELAN EL-4KPM-VIP-TX Transmitter, meaning
there is only a single EDID handshake. As each ELAN Video Over IP EL-4KPM-VIP-RX Receiver has its own in-built video scaler, it is
advised that the source EDID is set to output the best video signal possible as this can be down-scaled if required at each EL-4KPM-
VIP-RX Receiver.
Configuration of Video Over IP EDID settings can be achieved in several ways:-
1) During the manual configuration of the EL-4KPM-VIP-TX Transmitter
2) Using the ELAN Video Over IP PC configuration software
3) Using the Video Over IP Web GUI interface
4) Using RS-232 commands via ELAN EL-4KPM-VIP-CTRL
When configuring the EDID during manual setup or using RS-232 commands the following table indicates EDID values:
