Chapter 1: Introducing Your New N1512 Windowing Processor
Product Overview
The NMX-WP-N1512 4x1 Windowing Processor allows you to display multiple real-time HD streams on a single screen
simultaneously. Four window streams (from N1000 Series Encoders) are connected to the four independent network ports labeled
U0-U3. Each window stream can then be cropped, scaled, and positioned according to stored presets (such as quad, picture-in-
picture, etc.) or in any user-defined conf iguration. The combined output AV stream is then routed as a single N1000 stream to one
or more displays via a single output network port (any of the ports P0-P2).
NOTE: For proper operation, all four U ports must be connected to active streams.
IMPORTANT: To avoid creating a network loop, never connect more than one P port to the same network segment.
To achieve larger stacked configurations, additional Windowing Processors can be used as input streams.

Rack-Mounting Options
N1512 units can be free standing or rack mounted. Rack-mount ears are included in shipment. For all rack-mounted equipment,
please adhere to the following safety guidelines:
• Elevated Operating Ambient - If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack
environment may be greater than room ambient. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an envi-
ronment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (TMA) specified by the manufacturer.
• Reduced Air Flow - Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of air flow required for safe operation
of the equipment is not compromised.
• Mechanical Loading - Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to
uneven mechanical loading.
• Circuit Overloading - Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that
overloading of the circuits might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment
nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.
• Reliable Earthing - Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained. Particular attention should be given to
supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g., use of power strips).
Preparing for Install
This section provides step-by-step guidance for installing and configuring equipment from the N-Series product family on your
network. The steps provided here assume the following to be true:
1. There are switches operational on the network.
N-Series equipment can operate on many different brands of networking equipment. The network itself needs
to meet certain requirements to be able to support deployment. These instructions assume that you have
purchased and installed a pre-configured switch from AMX or that your existing equipment meets the following
physical and protocol requirements:
• Layer 2 (with IGMP Multicast Protocol), OR Layer 3 (also known as “multi-layer”)
•GigabitEthernet
•IGMPSnooping
• IGMP Snooping Querier (which only needs to be enabled on a single switch within the network)
NOTE: To proceed with this installation, the switches must already be successfully connected to your network. If
needed, refer to your product’s documentation for installation instructions.
2. Deployment considerations have been made for the addition of high-speed video.
Our Networked AV solutions provide unsurpassed video and audio quality at bandwidths appropriate to any
network segment or link. Matrix switches as large as 1200x800 have been constructed on a house network
using N-Series equipment. Alternatively, many customers choose to deploy on physically separate networks in
order to use low-cost network appliances but keep video traffic separate from data and voice.
3. N-Able software has been loaded on the computer you are using to configure the equipment.
From your host computer, download N-Able (our free setup utility software):
PC version - http://www.amx.com/products/N-ABLE-PC.asp
Mac version - http://www.amx.com/products/N-ABLE-MAC.asp
This software is designed to set up and control the equipment during initial deployment, however, it is not
always the best solution for production-type or primary user control. Refer to Control Options on page 15 for
details.
NOTE: For a more detailed requirements list, refer to Appendix B: Minimum Network Requirements on page 33.

N1512 Windowing Processor User Manual
Setting Up Your Host Computer
In order to communicate with N-Series products, your devices must be on the same subnet as the host computer. N1512 devices
are shipped in DHCP mode. The IP address will be assigned automatically based on the network DHCP server. If no DHCP server is
found, the unit will switch to Auto IP mode with a default IP address of 169.254.xxx.xxx.
Before beginning installation, you will need to make some changes to the computer running N-Able. These steps show how this can
be accomplished in a Microsoft Windows environment.
1. From the Start menu, select Control Panel > Network and Sharing Center.
2. Select Change
adapter settings.
3. Double-click the wired interface
to your AV network, and then
click the Properties button.

Chapter 2: Installing and Configuring the Windowing Processor
11
N1512 Windowing Processor User Manual
NOTE: If the computer does not need Internet access, you can simply enter a unique 169.254.xxx.xxx IP address with a 255.255.0.0
subnet mask. Contact your network administrator if you are unsure of how to configure the existing network. N-Series units in Auto IP
mode will not self-assign in the 169.254.0.xxx range.
NOTE: If the computer has a statically-assigned IP address, click the Advanced button. Then click Add to enter a unique
169.254.xxx.xxx address with a Subnet Mask of 255.255.0.0 and a Default Gateway of 169.254.1.1 (if required).
4. Scroll down in the list to the
Internet Protocol Version 4
(TCP/IPv4) option. Highlight it
and click the Properties
button.
5. Enable the Use the following IP
address option, and enter the
static IP address provided to you
by your network administrator.

N1512 Windowing Processor User Manual
Conf iguring IP addresses (if needed)
IP configuration changes must be done correctly to avoid any communication disruptions with the N1512 unit.
As mentioned previously, the default IP mode for N1512 devices is DHCP mode. When first connected to the network, an IP address
is assigned automatically based on the network DHCP server. If no DHCP server is found, the unit will use Auto IP mode.
How IP Address Changes Affect Unit Control
N-Able control is dependent upon the host computer being in the same IP address range as the N-Series devices. Therefore, before
making any N1512 IP address changes, we recommend having two statically-assigned IP addresses on your computer.
• Configure the first IP address to be in the range of the default N-Series IP settings (i.e., in the 169.254.xxx.xxx range), AND
• Configure a second IP address in the range of the IP address you are planning to assign to the units (or when using DHCP, an
address within the defined range for your network).
Changing IP Addresses
There are two ways to assign new IP addresses to your N1512 units using N-Able:
•Option 1: Log in to each unit individually and make the changes on the Unit Settings page.
•Option 2: Export a comma-separated value (CSV) file, make changes to all units in the resulting file, and import the CSV file into
N-Able to apply the changes.
Option 1: Assigning IP Addresses Individually (using the Settings page)
1. Find the unit you wish to change in the control matrix (either on the Unit Management tab or the Video Matrix tab).
2. Double-click the unit and log in.
3. Go to the Unit Settings page and make IP address changes for that unit either by setting a STATIC address or by enabling
DHCP (see Figure 6).
FIG. 6 NETWORK SETUP SECTIONS OF THE UNIT SETTINGS PAGE
4. Click the Trial Save IP button.
5. Return to the Unit Settings page through the newly-configured IP address.
6. Once the Unit Settings page appears (successfully using the new IP address) you can confirm the new address and lock in
your changes.
NOTE: If you lose communication before you are able to confirm the new address, unplug the N1512, wait one minute, and plug it
back in. This restores the unit to the original IP address.
Assign unique static IP
addresses for each of the U
ports. These must be in the
same subnet as the rest of the
system (i.e., host computer,
Windowing Processor,
Encoders, etc.).
Make changes to the
Windowing Processor’s IP
settings as described
previously.

Chapter 2: Installing and Configuring the Windowing Processor
15
N1512 Windowing Processor User Manual
Option 2: Assigning IP Addresses to Multiple Units (using CSV f iles)
N-Able has the ability to export and import CSV f iles. Once units are auto-discovered in N-Able, the CSV f ile can be exported into
Excel where parameters such as IP address, subnet mask, gateway, stream number, audio settings, etc. can be configured. Once
configured, import the CSV file back into N-Able to assign those parameters to the appropriate devices. Reboot the devices to
activate the new settings. This procedure can be used to configure multiple networked AV devices at the same time. It can also
provide valuable diagnostics by allowing you to see the last known device configuration as well as scan the network for new devices
(regardless of IP configuration).
To configure units using a CSV file, follow these steps:
1. Make sure that you have performed an Auto Discover (on the Unit Management tab of N-Able) since connecting all of the new
units to the network.
2. From N-Able’s main menu bar, select N-Able > Export CSV. See Figure 7.
FIG. 7 EXPORT CSV FILE
3. From the CSV Output Columns window, select the fields you would like to be included in the CSV file. Hold the <Ctrl> key to
select multiple f ields.
4. Click Yes on the pop-up box informing you that a CSV file is about to be generated.
NOTE: A CSV file editor (e.g., Microsoft Excel) is necessary to proceed.
5. The folder containing your CSV f ile displays. Double-click the f ile to open it.
6. You can use this file to edit the IP mode, IP address, subnet mask, gateway IP address, stream number, etc. Once all changes
have been made, save the file.
7. Go back into N-Able and select N-Able > Import CSV.
8. Browse to your saved CSV file and click Import.
