a local source to a remote sink. The Encoder and Decoder devices
connect either via a direct CATx cable connection or through a Gigabit
Ethernet Switch in between. The maximum delivery distance can reach
up to 100 m with minimal latency and employing a quality, proprietary
wavelet transform based image compression.
The maximum supported resolution is 3840 x 2160 @ 30Hz with
7.1 audio. The devices support both static and dynamic (DHCP) IP
address settings. Pre-programmed factory EDID presets and user
EDIDs are stored in the Encoder.
Devices feature embedded web for control.
DIP switches serve quick manual setting for device pairing over
the network, a quick and easy installation method. Gap and bezel
compensation can be adjusted for video walls. Scaling is available on
the receiver side and videos can be freely cropped.

For the correct installation build a Local Area Network with a
Layer 3 (L3) type switch (highly recommended). However, Unicast
mode requires only Layer 2 (L2) switch. In both cases the switch must
support the Multicast routing.
ATTENTION! VINX Encoder and Decoder send certain system
commands over multicast packages. If the multicast routing is
disabled on the network, the signal transmission may fail.
Layer 2 vs. Layer 3 Switch
The VINX Encoders and Decoders use multicast routing. The managed
switch in the network shall offer the following capabilities:
▪IGMPv2
▪IGMP snooping
▪IGMP fast leave
▪IGMP Querier

These features are supported by the Layer 3 type switches. Please

CATx
Connect a CATx cable between the VINX devices and the
L3 Switch.
HDMI
Connect an HDMI source device (e.g. a computer) to the
HDMI input port of the Encoder. Optionally connect a Local
Display to the Output port of the Encoder.
Connect HDMI display devices to the HDMI output port of
the Decoder devices.
RS-232
Optionally for RS-232 serial transmission: connect the
desired devices (e.g. a Touch Control, Relay Box) to the
RS-232 ports by the supplied serial cables.
USB
Optionally for USB extension: connect USB devices to
the USB ports of the Decoders. Connect the desired host
device (e.g. Computer) to the Encoder via the USB mini-B
type port. Please pay attention to the indicated port types
(USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 support)
Power
Connect the power cord of the supplied adaptor to the DC

2.2.3. Further Steps
Step 1. Connect a computer to the network to arrange the necessary
settings easily (see the Establishing the Connection section).
Step 2. Group the devices by the DIP switch or via the built-in website
(see the Video Status and Settings (Encoder) section).
Step 3. Select the desired Decoder for USB transmission (see the USB
Settings (Multicast Mode) section).
ATTENTION! Usually, an Ethernet switch needs more time to be
ready after powered on, than the VINX extenders. If the VINX devices
and the Ethernet switch are powered on at the same time, the VINX
devices may not get IP address and they cannot be accessed over
Ethernet. The solution is to power off the VINX devices and power
on again.

3.8. USB Interface
USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 data transmission works between an Encoder and a
certain Decoder device. Connect the host device (e.g. a computer) to the
Encoder and the USB devices to the Decoder. Supported USB devices:
▪USB HID devices: keyboard, mouse, presenter.

The transmission works in Unicast and Multicast mode as well, but
in latter case the desired Decoder has to be selected by any of the
following ways:
▪Pressing the Mode button on the front panel for less, than 3
seconds (the connected display device will show Starting USB,
the other Sinks will show Stopping USB),
▪Pressing the Acquire USB connection button in the Advanced tab
on the built-in web page (see the USB Settings (Multicast Mode)
section), or
▪Sending an LW3 command to the desired Decoder.
The USB devices connected to the other Decoders will be still powered
but the data transmission is suspended.
ATTENTION! USB 1.1 ports can be used for the stream changing,
see the Keyboard Shortcuts section.
ATTENTION! The active Decoder works like an extended USB hub
connected to a computer. Please pay attention for the storage
device to remove safely before unplugging it or interrupting during
a disc operation.
INFO: The USB transmission is automatically enabled between the
Encoder and the Decoder in Unicast mode.

▪SW setting and HW setting can be combined within the group

▪Graphics mode (Best image quality @ High bandwidth): The image

4.2.5. Frame Detector
The ports can show detailed information about the signal like blanking intervals and active video resolution.
This feature is a good troubleshooter if compatibility problems occur during system installation. Lightware’s
Frame Detector function works like a signal analyzer and makes possible to determine the exact video
format that is present on the port, thus helps to identify many problems. E.g. actual timing parameters may
differ from the expected and this may cause some displays to drop the picture.
Frame Detector measures detailed timings on the video signals just like a built-in oscilloscope, but it is
much more easy to use. Actual display area shows the active video size (light grey). Dark grey area of the
full frame is the blanking interval which can contain the info frames and embedded audio data for HDMI
signals. Shown values are measured actually on the signal and not retrieved only from the HDMI info frames.

4.3. EDID Menu
DEFINITION: The Extended Display Identication Data (EDID) is the passport of the display devices. It contains
information about the capabilities of the display, such as supported resolutions and audio formats, refresh
rates, the type and the manufacturer of the display device, etc.
See more information in the EDID Management section.
Advanced EDID Management is available in the Encoder. Navigate to the EDID menu. There are two panels:
the left contains the Source EDIDs, the right panel contains the Destination places where the EDIDs can be
emulated or copied.
4.3.1. The EDID Memory Structure
The EDID memory consists of four parts:
▪Factory EDID list shows the pre-programmed EDIDs (F1-F132).
▪Decoder EDID list shows the EDIDs of the display devices connected to the assigned Decoders. The
Decoders store the last display devices’ EDID on the HDMI output, so there is an EDID shown even if
there is no display device attached to the output port at that moment.
