Mantaray™v1.0.3 Quick Start Guide
Mantaray is a compact set-top box (STB) that delivers reliable, secure, high-definition (HD) video to displays from
live and scheduled sources, for Furnace end-to-end IPTV systems.
When you connect a Mantaray STB to your network, you need to register it as a device in the Furnace domain.
This is done from the Mantaray using the STB Settings application. Once the connection is established, you can
manage the STB centrally along with other Mantaray STBs from the Furnace Admin Web portal, using the VF
Mantaray Manager module.
This Quick Start Guide summarizes the basic steps required to set up, register, and configure your Mantaray and
get started viewing video. Please refer to the Mantaray Administrator’s Guide for detailed information. You may
download the Administrator’s Guide, Release Notes and other relevant documentation through our Download
Center at: http://www.haivision.com/download-center/
Physical Installation
1. Unpack the box. [See Important Notice for list of contents.]
2. Visually inspect the package contents for any evidence of shipping damage.
3. Place the Mantaray on a flat surface near the display, making sure nothing is blocking the signal from the
remote control to the STB.
4. Connect the LAN port on the STB to the IP network using an Ethernet cable (type Cat 5 or higher).

5. Connect the video and audio output jacks to the monitor, using the appropriate connector(s):
•HDMI Digital Video+Audio: Use an HDMI cable to connect the HDMI jack.
•VGA Analog Video+Baseband Audio: Use a VGA cable to connect the VGA jack.
•Composite (CVBS) NTSC/PAL Analog Video+Baseband Audio: Use a composite A/V cable to connect the
Composite video (yellow RCA jack).
•Y,Pb,Pr Component Video+Baseband Audio: Use a component cable to connect the Component
(Y,Pb,Pr) jacks.
For Baseband audio, use an A/V cable to connect the audio (red/white RCA jacks) jacks.
NOTE Only one A/V source is active at a time.
6. Install the two AAA batteries in the remote control.
7. Connect the power cable to the Mantaray, and then plug the power adapter into a wall socket. Use only the
A/C power adapter provided with the unit.
Mantaray automatically starts when you connect the power cord to the STB.
TIP For HDMI output, be sure to connect the HDMI cable and turn on the monitor before connecting
the power supply to Mantaray.
Otherwise, Mantaray will use an incorrect resolution and the display will appear distorted. If this occurs,
you can use the following workaround: Press the Video button on the remote control to change the
Mantaray's output resolution, and the played video will become normal. If the Video button is locked,
see the TIP on page 3 to unlock the Video button.

Mantaray Quick Start Guide
Joining Mantaray to a Furnace
HVS-ID-QS-MANTA-103, Issue 01 Page 4 of 8
Joining Mantaray to a Furnace
To get started, you need to register Mantaray as a device in the Furnace domain. This is done from the Mantaray
STB Settings application.
NOTE Mantaray requires a Furnace (channel) lineup. For information on Furnace lineups, refer to the
Furnace Administration Guide, available through Haivision’s Download Center at:
http://www.haivision.com/download-center/
1. If you haven’t already done so, turn on the TV or monitor to which the Mantaray is connected and then
power on the Mantaray.
2. If the Mantaray has been configured with a locked screen, you will be prompted to enter a PIN.
Using the remote control, type in your PIN code and press OK.
TIP The PIN code is set by administrators from the Furnace Admin Web Portal. For more information,
see your system administrator or the Furnace Administration Guide.
The Mantaray STB Settings application opens.
TIP If you do not see the STB Settings application on the screen connected to the STB, you can use the
Video button on the remote control to toggle between output modes.

3. To set the date and time, press the Down Arrow on the remote control to scroll down to Time.
You can either set the device local system time or provide an NTP address to use network time. Click Save.
IMPORTANT By default the Mantaray’s date and time is 1 Jan 1970. The correct date and time must be
set before the Electronic Program Guide (EPG) will work.
4. To use DHCP (enabled by default), you can skip to Step #6.
5. To specify the IP address or other network settings for the STB, press the Up Arrow on the remote control to
scroll back up to Ethernet.
Select Static and fill in the required addresses. Click Save.

6. To specify the Furnace information, use the remote control to scroll down to Server Setup.
Enter the IP of the Furnace server and the corresponding port number. Click Save.
7. Wait until the STB application downloads and installs all necessary files from the Furnace server. If there is a
new software version, it will reboot. This may take a minute.
8. When the STB display opens again, it tunes to the first channel and begins playing audio and video.
When you press any of the volume controls (Mute, Up, or Down) on the remote control, a volume indicator
appears along the bottom of the screen.

9. To display the Electronic Programming Guide, press the EPG button on the remote control.
10. Use the Up/Down and Left/Right arrow buttons on the remote control to navigate through the channels and
the time slots.
When a program is highlighted, information about the program is displayed at the top of the screen.
11. Press OK to tune to the currently selected channel. Or you can use the Channel Up and Down buttons to
tune to the channel on which a program is currently being displayed, and then press OK.
12. To exit the Channel Guide, press the EPG button.
TIP You can manage the STB along with other Mantaray STBs from the Furnace Admin Web portal (VF
Mantaray Manager). You can edit device settings, send control commands (set channel/volume,
mute/unmute, power device(s) On/Off or reboot), and schedule command events. You can manage
devices individually and in groups via customizable tags.
You can configure the device default settings to apply to new Mantarays and create tags for tag-based
configuration of Mantarays. For more information, see the Furnace Administration Guide.
IMPORTANT As of Mantaray Version 1.0.3, Mantaray Manager and STBs no longer support the notion
of “groups”; this has been replaced by tag-based configuration of devices.
If you are upgrading from Mantaray Version 6.5, existing groups will be converted to tags and Mantaray
will apply tags based on previous group membership of devices.
