Overview
The VIP100 II series allows point to point, point to many, many to point, and many to many
configurations. You can operate the VIP100 II system easily with the supplied remote
control or receiver front panel channel buttons.
Transmitter
The transmitter provides the following functions:
•HDMI input : accepts HDMI 1.3 video/audio formats
•HDMI Loop out: provides local loop out of HDMI input
•RS232 [3 pin phoenix connector] : Bidirectional RS232 with selectable baud rates
o9600
o19200
o14400
o38400
o56000
o115000
•Infrared Out 1/8” jack: when the transmitter is linked to a receiver, the IR In of the
receiver can send infrared commands to the transmitter, for example using a remote
control near the linked receiver location to operate a source [e.g. Blu Ray player] at
the transmitter location.
IP Addressing methods
The VIP100 II provides two IP methods, static (manual), and DHCP. The factory default
setting of the modules are static.
VIP100 II TX: factory default IP address: 192.168.1.11
VIP100 II RX: factory default IP address: 192.168.1.12
There may be applications where you want to use a network switch that either provides
DHCP addressing where the switch assigns all devices an IP address, or manual addressing
where you set the IP addresses of the devices.
The VIP100 II series provides three modes of IP addressing.
Manual Static) IP Addressing
The VIP100 II device IP addresses can be configured manually (static). By connecting to a
VIP100 II module with a computer that is set to the same IP family, you can then access their
built in web page interface to change the devices to static IP address of IP mode if not
already set. These settings are normally done prior to adding on to a network. Please see the
‘Setting Devices for Manual IP Addressing” in this manual.

DHCP Addressing
The VIP100 II device IP addresses can be configured to accept IP addresses using DHCP.
Access the built in web page interface to change the devices to DHCP IP mode.
NOTE: Because transmitters create continuous streaming traffic of video on the network, it is
recommended when possible to create your IP video network independent of your data
network, or use a managed network switch. Use of gigabit switches with jumbo frame and
IGMP support is required and will create the most appropriate scenario for both independent
IP video networks, and cases where IP video systems are included within your data network.

VIP100 II Transmitters and Receivers s ip in Static IP mode, w ic allows t em to discover eac ot er
wit no configuration required. W ile it is possible to reconfigure t e transmitter and receiver to
DHCP IP mode, it may not be necessary to make t ese c anges in a many to point configuration,
unless you need t em to be on a network wit ot er devices, or a network t at as a DHCP IP
met od already employed.
•Connect t e transmitter to your network switc
•Connect your receivers to t e network switc
•Connect your source to t e input of your transmitter
•Connect a display to t e output of eac receiver
•If desired, connect your confidence monitor to t e loop out of t e transmitter
•Connect t e power adapters for eac unit, and apply power. T e system will go t roug a

Typical reference streaming rates
The VIP100 II transmitter stream rate is 15 Mbps.
Remote Control
The remote control allows channel switching at the RX (decoder) receiver module, when coupled with an
IR extension receiver.
Troubleshooting – Point to Many
Receiver can’t find Transmitter
•Receiver is not set to correct channel for transmitter
•Receiver or Transmitter are not connected via CAT cable or via network switch
•Power to transmitter is off
•Power to network switch is off
Transmitter reports no source (via OSD on Receiver lower left corner)
•Check source is active
•Ensure input cable is plugged in to correct port on transmitter (input vs loop out)
•Confirm cable passes signal and is not damaged
•Check power to transmitter is on

Network Switch Requirements
W ile a Point to Point normally is configured wit t e transmitter and receiver directly connected to
eac ot er by CAT cable, it is possible to ave point to point over a network switc . T e
requirements for a network switc are:
•IGMP
•JumboFrame
Network Switc Recommendations
T e VIP100 II modules can operate from 802.3af compliant PoE enabled network switc es.
T e VIP100 II devices do not require a managed switc to operate. W en t e VIP devices are specifically
on t eir own independent network switc , an unmanaged switc is sufficient. A managed switc
may provide value in an application w ere t e VIP devices reside on a network wit ot er devices
t at may be impeded due to network traffic created by t e VIP video/audio/usb streams.
