Product Overview
IPEX5101 Encoder
The Digitalinx IP IPEX5101 encodes / transmits HDMI video up to 4K60 4:4:4 and multi-channel
audio over a 1 gigabit network infrastructure using JPEG2000 encoding with a variable data rate at an
average of 650 Mbps with peak values up to 900Mbps. IPEX5101 offers RJ45 for copper or SFP for Fiber
connections to the network. The IPEX5101 supports video signals up to 4K at 60 Hz 4:4:4 10 bit deep color for
HDR10 support, HDCP 2.2 and multichannel audio support. An analog audio port can embed analog audio
with the video content. The audio port can de-embed stereo 2 channel audio from the HDMI content,
while still passing audio to the HDMI output. The encoder supports control of 3rd party devices via RS232
and IR. The USB host port connection is for connecting USB host devices such as a computer and supports USB
2.0 High Speed up to 150Mbps that can communicate with client side devices connected to a decoder.
The IPEX5101 supports PoE power and can be powered remotely via PoE network switch eliminating the need
for a nearby power outlet.
The IPEX5101 supports Dante audio. The Dante support is a 2 channel output by 2 channel input. By default
the HDMI audio stream is sent to the Dante output. To embed Dante audio to the HDMI stream see the
Arranger manual.
IPEX5101UD-WP Encoder
The Digitalinx IP IPEX5101UD-WP encodes / transmits HDMI / USB or USBC video, audio, USB over a 1
gigabit network infrastructure using JPEG2000 encoding with a variable data rate at an average of 650 Mbps
with peak values up to 900Mbps. The IPEX5101UD-WP supports video signals up to 4K at 60 Hz 4:4:4 10 bit
deep color for HDR10 support, HDCP 2.2 and multichannel audio support. The HDMI and USBC inputs on the
IPEX5101UD-WP are auto switching and follow the last in / first out method and must be physically connected /
disconnected to engage the auto switch. The encoder supports control of 3rd party devices via RS232. The USB
host port connection is for connecting USB host devices such as a computer supporting USB 2.0 High Speed up
to 150Mbps and can communicate with client side devices connected to a decoder. The USB-C port is also a host
port for USB.
The IPEX5101UD-WP supports PoE power and can be powered remotely via PoE network switch eliminating
the need for a nearby power outlet.
The IPEX5101UD-WP supports Dante audio. The Dante support is a 2 channel output by 2 channel input. By
default the HDMI audio stream is sent to the Dante output. To embed Dante audio to the HDMI stream see the
Arranger manual.

IPEX5102 Decoder
The Digitalinx IP IPEX5102 receives HDMI video and audio over a 1 gigabit network infrastructure using
JPEG2000 encoding from the IPEX5101 and IPEX5101UD-WP encoder. The IPEX5102 outputs video signals
natively from source or can be scaled to 1080p or 4K60 at 4:4:4 with HDR10, HDCP 2.2 and multichannel
audio support. An analog audio output port de-embeds stereo 2 channel audio from the HDMI content while
still passing stereo 2 channel audio to the HDMI output. Depending on the needs of the installation, multiple
IPEX5102 devices can be configured to make a video wall configuration. The decoder supports control of 3rd
party devices via RS232 and IR. The USB client port connections are for connecting USB devices such as a camera,
DSP, keyboard or mouse that is USB 2.0 High Speed up to 190Mbps that can communicate with a host side
device connected to an encoder.
The IPEX5102 supports PoE power and can be powered remotely via PoE network switch eliminating the need
for a nearby power outlet.
The IPEX5102 supports Dante audio. The Dante support is a 2 channel output by 2 channel input. By default
the HDMI audio stream is sent to the Dante output. To embed Dante audio to the HDMI stream see the
Arranger manual.

System Installaon Instrucons
Connecting Devices to Network Switch
A 1GbE fully managed network switch must be configured for multicast video operation.
Liberty has documented several network switch sengs for many common switch manufacturers, see
documents related to this product on the product page of the Liberty AV website (www.libav.com).
Connect Category 5e/6 cable from the network switch to the appropriate 5100 devices LAN port.
Use TIA/EIA-568B crimp paern for Category cable terminaon.
Best Pracce
When installing the AV endpoints, create a spreadsheet of all 5100 devices notang the MAC address, as well
as nong aached source/sync devices. This will aid in fast nal system commissioning that could be done
remotely by accessing the AV system server via VPN or via port forwarding. See Arranger Documentaon for
more informaon on how to access the server and set up port forwarding.

The 5100 series devices default to DHCP unless no DHCP server is acve than auto IP i.e. 169.254.0.0/16 Network
ID so the devices can be found easily without the use of an IP scanner. The endpoints can be changed easily to
stac IP address if desired but for inial login be sure your PC to access the Arranger server is in the 169.254.0.0/16
Network ID range.

Connecng HDMI Devices
Use only high quality High Speed HDMI cables rated for 18Gbps, do not exceed HDMI cable lengths over 5m/15’ for
device HDMI connecons to AV sources and displays.
Connecng Audio Devices
Connect an unbalanced line level audio device either to the encoder or decoder, the 5100 devices de-embeds the
two channel embedded HDMI audio stream. The audio input of the encoder will embed 2 channel audio into the
HDMI signal. This option must configured in Arranger.
Note: Audio output is 2 channel stereo audio only and is not capable of down-mixing multi channel audio
Connecng USB Devices
Connect USB components to devices with USB 2.0 rated cables, do not exceed cable lengths over 5m/15’
Note: 5100 Series supports USB bandwidth up to 150mbps and supports all common transfer types including
Isochronous, supporting most Cameras, Interactive displays, DSP, and more. It is important to calculate needed
bandwidth. Also important to note that while 150Mbps USB2.0 will support most USB cameras that funciton as
2.0 devices, it may not be enough to support multiple streams of high speed USB such as a camera and a mic or a
video sound bar. If 480Mbps is needed over the network, IPEX-USB2 USB only devices can be deployed to create
a USB switchable environment
Connecting IR
ComponentsThe IR connections on the devices provide a means to control remote IR equipment.
Note: Please ensure power is disconnected from the encoders and decoders before connecting the IR receiver
to the IR input ports on the devices.
Connecting Serial / RS232 Compatible Devices
The RS232 connections on the devices provide a means to control 3rd party devices using serial commands.
Connect the TX, RX, and ground control signal wires to the removable 3-pole terminal block, be sure the
wiring from transceiver to the device is TX - RX, RX - TX, G - G. See illustration below

Arranger Server Login
Connect Arranger Controller
Once the hardware controller has been connected to the AV Network, the Arranger server applicaon can be
accessed via web browser on any PC that is connected to the same AV Network switch. By default the IP address
for the Arranger server is 169.254.1.1. For inial system setup your PC will need to be in the same Network ID, i.e.
169.254.0.0/16.
Upon rst login of the Arranger server you will be asked for an unlock code for your license, once the license has
been entered you will be prompted for login credenals, by default the user name is admin and the password is
admin to login to the system inially.
Once logged in you will be asked to change the admin login password.
Best Pracce
Log the changed password that you created in your project documentaon spreadsheet.
Once logged in you can configure, manage, and control all signal types for the DigitalinxIP 5100 series devices.
A complete operation manual and API for the Arranger system is located in the Arranger server application.
The provided Arranger hardware controller with the DigitalinxIP system should be hardwired via Ethernet to the
AV network switch.
Device / System Control
Arranger is an AVoIP server applicaon that will congure and manage the 5100 devices on an AV IP Network.
Arranger is licensed per endpoint for one AV Network and a license unlock code should have been provided upon
purchase of the Arranger DigiIP 5100 series license.
If you are missing the license unlock code contact [e-mail] and have serial number of the hardware
controller nearby to conrm system license
