1. Product Overview
1.1 Introduction
The HDMI 4K/SDI/ST2110 over IP Uncompressed Gateway Converter allows
HDMI equipment to be extended up to 1300ft (400m) via a duplex multimode
OM4 fiber with LC connectors, at up to 4K resolution @ 30Hz (4:4:4) 8-bit
uncompressed, in a point-to-point configuration. A single duplex multimode OM3
fiber with LC connectors may also be used at up to 985ft (300m).
Point-to-multipoint and multipoint-to-multipoint configurations are also possible by
connecting several units to a 10G Ethernet network. The unit provides a 1G
Ethernet Switch port with PoE to connect additional network devices, and an
RS232 port for remote control of end devices.
The following diagram illustrates a typical point-to-multipoint LAN configuration.

2. Managing the 500774
The HDMI 4K/ST2110 over IP Uncompressed Gateway can be managed through
its Web interface and Rest API. This section describes how to set up the 500774
parameters using both the Web interface and the Rest API.
2.1 Web interface
Configuring the 500774 from the Web interface requires a TCP/IP connection from
the unit Ethernet port to your network. The 500774 default IP address is set to
DHCP. If no DHCP is available on your network, both the TX and RX will default
to a static IP Address of 192.168.168.66 for the TX, and 192.168.168.67 for the
RX. To be able to log in to the 500774 Web interface, your computer has to
be in the same subnet.
2.1.1 Configuring the 500774-TX
This section will describe how to configure the unit using the Web interface. To
connect to the TX, open a Web browser and type the TX unit IP address.
2.1.2 Transmitter System Info Page
Once connected, the first screen is the System Info page, which displays general
product information such as the model number, firmware and FPGA version, MAC
and IP address, RS232 settings, etc.,
Figure 2: 500774-TX System Info Page

2.1.3 Transmitter Media Page
The Media Page contains both the video and audio settings. See example below:
Clicking on the Submit button will allow you to apply the new changes,
while clicking on Cancel will discard any changes.
Force ST2110 to 4:2:2 Note:
The 500774 Tx unit contains 422 Converter that converts RGB or YCbCr 4:4:4 to
YCbCr 4:2:2 10 bit Video Format. In the Media Setting Page this option can be
disabled. By default, 4:2:2 Converter is enabled.

2.1.4 Transmitter RS232 Page
This page allows RS232 signals to be sent via the 500774-TX via the “Data to
send in HEX” field. This signal is sent to the end equipment connected to the
500774-TX. The 500774-TX can also display any RS232 feedback received from
the end equipment in the “Data feedback received in HEX” field.

5. In the Upgrade MCU Firmware section select (press on the “Browse”
button) the MCU file and click on the “Upload” button. It may take 30
seconds or more to install the new version.
Network Settings
The user may set the network parameters of the 500774-TX, including enabling
or disabling DHCP, setting a static IP Address, Netmask Address, and Gateway
Address, and then pressing on “Apply”. Pressing on “Reset” will return the unit to
the default settings.
RS232 Settings
The user may set the RS232 parameters of the 500774-TX, including the Baud
Rate, Data Bits, Parity, and Number of Stop Bits, and then pressing on “Apply”.
