About the vDisplay IP Engine
vDisplay IP engines are compact receivers that efficiently receive and convert IP video directly from GigE
Vision compliant network links to standard, high definition, or custom video monitors or appliances for
display and/or processing in real time. This process eliminates the need for bulky, costly, unreliable PC
workstations at each viewing node. vDisplay IP engines shrink the size, cost, and power consumption of
real-time viewing stations on high-performance video networks.
To ensure clear, high-definition viewing, vDisplay IP engines deliver video to monitors with low,
consistent latency. vDisplay IP engines accept a variety of video sources that comply with GigE Vision,
the global standard for image transfer and device control, including analog, LVDS, Camera Link, or
custom cameras, as long as the camera interface to GigE uses a GigE Vision compliant converter, such as
a Pleora iPORT IP engine.
vDisplay IP engines can connect to video sources over direct point-to-point GigE links, or can be part of
a packet-switched GigE local area network, and require minimal configuration for first-time use. You can
configure vDisplay IP engines by using the GEVPlayer application, part of Pleora’s eBUS™ SDK, or any
other GenICam-compliant application that supports GigE Vision receiver devices. The vDisplay IP
engine provides a GenICam v2.0.1 compliant XML file, which allows access to the IP engine features that
are controlled with the GenICam API, and a GenICam node map.
The GigE Vision Control Protocol (GVCP) allows an application to configure vDisplay IP engines; this
protocol is implemented over the UDP transport layer protocol. The GVCP defines mechanisms that
guarantee the reliability of packet transmission and ensure minimal flow control.
Combined with other elements of Pleora’s end-to-end iPORT Video Connectivity Solution, the vDisplay
IP-to-HDMI converter can create complete solutions that are unmatched in flexibility, performance, and
ease-of-use.

other elements in a GigE networked video system.

7About vDisplay IP Engines
vDisplay IP Engine Product Structure
The vDisplay HDI-Pro IP engine is available in two separate formats, the OEM board set and the
enclosed unit, as shown in the following figure.
Figure 2: vDisplay HDI-Pro Product Structure

8vDisplay HDI-Pro IP Engine User Guide
vDisplay HDI-Pro IP Engine (Enclosed Unit)
The vDisplay IP engine is comprised of a motherboard that receives streaming IP video and converts it
to RGB, and a daughter card that converts RGB video to HDMI/DVI signals. These components are
enclosed in a compact and rugged case, and can be used in a variety of applications as a stand-alone
component within a simple point-to-point GigE network, or as part of a larger switched GigE network.
vDisplay IP engines can be installed as part of an industrial inspection system, where they feed video to
viewing stations. The viewing stations can be used by operators of industrial inspection equipment to
ensure that cameras are properly aligned and focused. Because the vDisplay IP engine measures only 81
mm x 59mm x 40mm, it can be located close to the inspection area, where the use of a bulky PC may not
be practical.
The following images show the enclosed vDisplay IP engine with and without mounting brackets.

9About vDisplay IP Engines
vDisplay HDI-Pro IP Engine OEM Board Set
The vDisplay HDI-Pro OEM board set provides the same functionality as the enclosed unit, described
in the previous section, but without the enclosure, it can be embedded in a variety of devices offering
further deployment flexibility. For example, the vDisplay HDI-Pro OEM board set can be installed in a
workstation in a military vehicle. The vDisplay HDI-Pro OEM board set can also be installed directly
within a monitor, and allow you to prototype a monitor with embedded GigE Vision capabilities.
Supported Video Display Interfaces
The vDisplay IP engine can be connected to video display devices (monitors) using the standard HDMI
Type “A” receptacle, and is compatible with HDMI version 1.3a. The HDMI hardware interface is fully
backward compatible with DVI-compliant devices. For DVI-based monitors, you need an HDMI-to-
DVI cable to connect to the vDisplay IP engine.
The HDMI standard allows any video format timing to be transmitted and displayed. Common DTV
formats have been defined to maximize interoperability between products. The inherent video format
timings define the pixel line counts and timing, and synchronization pulse position and duration. In
addition, the HDMI standard allows for the use of vendor-specific formats.
Video stream content protection (HDCP) is not supported in the vDisplay IP engine.

Supported Single Link DVI Video Resolutions
The vDisplay IP engine supports most single link DVI interface resolutions, as shown in Table 2.
Supported HDMI Video Resolutions
HDMI supports a wider range of video formats than DVI, but HDMI has a similar variety of pixel clock
frequencies that are between 25 and 150 megahertz (MHz). These pixel frequencies support the common
consumer formats of 480p, 720p, and 1080p.
The following table shows the common industry resolutions supported by the vDisplay IP engine.

The vDisplay IP Engine Ethernet Interface
The Ethernet interface of the vDisplay IP engine can operate at 10, 100, or 1000 Mbps.
Detailed information about how to configure the Transport Layer is provided in “Controlling the
vDisplay IP Engine Transport Layer” on page 48.

11About vDisplay IP Engines
Supported Pixel Formats and Image Resolutions
The following table shows the pixel formats supported by the vDisplay IP engine. The maximum image
size the vDisplay IP engine can support for the Bayer format is 2048 pixels wide. The height is a function
of the Bayer pixel format. For non-Bayer formats, the maximum width and height are each 64000 pixels.
For Bayer and non-Bayer formats, the total image size (H x W x Pixel Depth) must be less than
10 MB.

Power Supply Considerations
The Pleora power supply encorporates the Broadband Split, Snap-On Ferrite Cylinder, which meets
FCC/EMC requirements. If you choose to purchase the vDisplay IP engine without the optionally
provided power supply, you must use a power supply that is outfitted with a ferrite bead with similar
specifications to the Broadband Split, Snap-On Ferrite Cylinder for the vDisplay IP engine to meet FCC/
EMC requirements.
The Broadband Split, Snap-On Ferrite Cylinder, part number 28A0592-0A2, is manufactured by Laird
Technologies. For more information, you can visit their Web site at www.lairdtech.com.
FCC Conformity
The vDisplay IP engine has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device,
pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. The vDisplay IP
engine generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance
with this user guide, can cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this
equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be
required to correct the interference at his, or her, own expense.
EMC Conformity
This product complies with the requirements of the EMC Directive 2004/108/EC and carries the CE
mark accordingly.

After you have assembled and powered up the hardware components, you can adjust the settings of the
vDisplay IP engine and the GigE Vision compliant video sources using the GEVPlayer application. We
recommend starting two sessions of GEVPlayer: one session to configure the video sources and one
session to configure the vDisplay IP engine.
Ensure that you have installed version 1.3.3 (or later) of the eBUS SDK with GEVPlayer (formerly called the
eBUS PureGEV SDK suite) on the PC or laptop.
It is possible for you to configure the vDisplay IP engine and GigE Vision compliant video sources using
other GenICam-compliant software, however, this guide provides you with the instructions you need to
use the Pleora GEVPlayer application.
It is important to connect the vDisplay IP engine to the same subnet as the network card of the PC used
to configure the vDisplay IP engine. If it is not on the same subnet, the vDisplay IP engine might not
appear within the GEVPlayer application. You can locate the vDisplay IP engine by clicking Show
unreachable GigE Vision Devices, as shown in the following image.
