the RTI Dealer Site. This includes:
- Product Specications / Data sheets
- VIP-UHD Network Switch Overview
- VIP-UHD Network Switch Guides
HDMI over IP Network
The RTI VIP system distributes HDMI video over Layer 3 Managed network hardware. It is advised that
VIP products are connected to an independent network switch to prevent interference or drop in signal
performance due to other network products bandwidth requirements.
VIP products are not limited to certain brands of network hardware, but should a network switch that RTI have
not tested or written instructions for be used, the integrator must ensure it supports the following network
features:
Multicast - (one-to-many or many-to-many distribution) is group communication where information is
addressed to a group of network devices simultaneously.
Instant Leave / Fast Leave / Immediate Leave - a feature associated with multicast and means that as soon
as an active connection is no longer required (the link between Transmitter and Receiver) the multicast group
and ow of trac is stopped instantly. This prevents unnecessary ow of network trac on the network switch.
IGMP Snooping - the process of listening to Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) network trac. The
feature allows a network switch to listen in on the IGMP conversation between hosts and routers (Transmitters
and Receivers). By listening to this ow of trac, the switch maintains a map of which links need which IP
multicast streams. Multicasts may be ltered from the links which do not need them and thus controls which
ports receive specic multicast trac.
Jumbo Frames / Jumbo Packets / MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) - Ethernet frames with more than
1,500 bytes of payload. Conventionally, jumbo frames can carry up to 9,216 bytes of payload, but variations
exist and some care must be taken when using the term. Many gigabit Ethernet switches can support jumbo
frames.
Please note: RTI have worked with many network switch providers to create setup guides and saved
conguration les to help congure the products to work with VIP hardware. These set-up guide les can be
downloaded from the RTI website.

Conguration of a VIP System
There are dierent ways to congure a new, or manage an existing VIP system:
VIP-UHD-CTRL - Advanced Control Module: (recommended)
The built-in Web-GUI of the VIP-UHD-CTRL allows for full conguration of a new system, as well as on-going
maintenance and control of an existing system through a web portal. The VIP-UHD-CTRL can be accessed
on devices including: tablets, smart devices, and laptops that are on the same network and able to host a
browser. The VIP-UHD-CTRL can also be used as a control platform for the VIP system, with the ability to
create multiple users and control individual permissions to govern the switching of pre-determined parts of
the local system.
VIP-UHD-TX / RX - Manual Conguration:
Using the buttons on the front of the VIP units, it is possible to congure a very basic system without the
need of the VIP-UHD-CTRL, or a PC. Manual conguration allows for each unit to be assigned an individual
ID, IP address, EDID settings (Transmitter) and Scaler output settings (Receiver).
Naming of Transmitters or Receivers, as well as advanced features such as Video Wall conguration or xed
routing cannot be undertaken using this conguration method, but has been included to give integrators the
option to quickly congure from new, or reset and congure units on the y.
Manual conguration is covered in this manual from page 59 onwards.
VIP-UHD-TX / RX - Web-GUI:
Each individual VIP unit hosts its own web interface, accessed through a web browser from a PC connected
directly to the VIP network. The units web-GUI can be used for amending system settings, and conguration
of advanced features of the VIP system where these settings are not commonly accessed and therefore not
built into the VIP-UHD-CTRL web-GUI.
An overview of the VIP-UHD web-GUI is contained within this manual from page 62 onwards.
Please note: we would not recommend accessing or using the individual units web-GUI for conguration
unless instructed to do so by a member of the RTI Technical Support team. The fundamental features for
conguration of a VIP system have all been designed into the VIP-UHD-CTRL.

VIP USER GUIDE
www.rticorp.com
Conguration of a VIP System - continued...
RTI VIP Transmitters and Receivers are shipped as new with a default IP address of:
169.254.100.254
Each of the conguration tools of the VIP system work by assigning individual VIP-UHD units to a xed IP
address. No two units can have the same IP address for the system to work seamlessly as a conict of IP
addresses will appear on the network. The VIP Transmitters create a multicast stream from the HDMI input
signal that is fed into the VIP network for the VIP Receivers to connect to and decode back into HDMI.
The maximum number of Transmitters and Receivers a VIP system can have is governed by the range of
IP addresses the conguration tool assigns. This is 762x762. For a system that contains more than 762
Transmitters or Receivers, please contact a member of the RTI Technical Support team.
IP addresses are congured as follows:
Transmitters:
- The rst Transmitter will be given the IP address of 169.254.3.1. The next Transmitter will be assigned an IP
address of 169.254.3.2 and so on....
- Once the IP range of 169.254.3.x is lled (254 units), the software will auto assign an IP address of
169.254.4.1 and so on...
- Once the IP range of 169.254.4.x is lled (254 units), the software will auto assign an IP address of
169.254.5.1 and so on until 169.254.4.254.
Receivers:
- The rst Receiver will be given the IP address of 169.254.6.1. The next Receiver will be assigned an IP
address of 169.254.6.2 and so on....
- Once the IP range of 169.254.6.x is lled (254 units), the software will auto assign an IP address of
169.254.7.1 and so on...
- Once the IP range of 169.254.7.x is lled (254 units), the software will auto assign an IP address of
169.254.8.1 and so on until 169.254.8.254.
Assigning IP addresses into a dierent range is possible, and is only recommended this is done where the
VIP system is to sit on a clients existing network with the capability to host the bandwidth requirements of the
VIP system. Where a VIP system is not being incorporated into an existing network, it should be on it's own
network and therefore should be no reason to not use the recommended IP address range.
Should the requirement to locate the VIP system on an existing network, the following points should be taken
into consideration before designing a new system.
• The framework of the VIP-UHD-CTRL is based around communication in the 169.254.x.x IP address range
by default
• The VIP-UHD-CTRL can be used outside of the recommended IP address range if required
• Manual conguration will assign IP addresses into the 169.254.x.x range only
Please contact a member of the RTI Technical Support team to discuss moving a VIP system to an alternative
IP address range, and the procedure to be followed when undertaking the conguration of a new system.

On rst log in of the VIP-UHD-CTRL, a Setup Wizard for conguring all components of the VIP system will be
presented. This has been designed to speed up new system conguration as all default / new VIP Transmitters
& Receivers can be connected to the network switch at the same time, whilst not resulting in an IP conict
during the system conguration. This results in a system in which all components are automatically and
sequentially assigned a name and IP address ready for basic system use.
New Project Setup Wizard
The VIP-UHD-CTRL Setup Wizard can be cancelled by clicking 'Close'. Please be aware that the system will
not be congured at this point, but can be continued by visiting the 'Project' menu (see page 28). If a project
le is already available (i.e. replacing a VIP-UHD-CTRL on an existing site), this can be imported by using the
exported (.json) save le by clicking 'Import Project'.
Click 'Next' to continue setup:
An example schematic diagram for the connections of the VIP-UHD-CTRL can be accessed by clicking the
hyperlink marked 'diagram'. This will ensure the VIP-UHD-CTRL is connected correctly to the wider VIP system

There are two methods for adding new VIP Transmitter and Receiver devices to a system, please choose one
before clicking 'Start Scan':
Method 1:
It is recommended this method be used if pre-conguring a VIP system prior to physical location / installation
of the hardware in a rack, or local to displays.
Connect ALL VIP-UHD Transmitter and Receiver units to the VIP network switch with their factory default
IP addresses at 169.254.100.254. This method will quickly congure all devices with their own individual IP
addresses based on the standard RTI VIP IP conguration rules as set out on page 14 of this guide.
Once complete, devices will need to be identied manually. This method auto-assigns product IP addresses
and ID's to each device connected to the network switch randomly (not by switch port).
It is possible to identify / label units as they are congured by looking for the individual units re-booting (the dual
7-segment display rotates clockwise during re-boot) as they are assigned by the VIP-UHD-CTRL.
Method 2:
It is recommended this method be used if the VIP hardware has been pre-installed prior to conguration.
Connect each VIP Transmitter and Receiver to the network one-by-one. The Setup Wizard will congure the
units sequentially as they are connected / found. This method allows for the control of the sequential assigning
of IP addresses and ID's of each product - the Transmitter / Receiver units can therefore be pre-installed into a
project prior to conguration.
