1. Introduction
The SC08.MX2000 is an over IP solution for high definition signal extension over copper cables. This 4K
solution leverages 10 Gb Ethernet switches and enables signal management of 4K/60Hz (4:4:4) signals
with zero frame latency. Bi-Directional RS232, Infra-Red, 1 Gb LAN, and embedded audio are also
supported.
The video wall mode allows a single video source to be stretched across multiple displays, each receiver
crops and scales the region of interest according to its position in the wall matrix. The receivers are
locked to the source and thus to each other with no frame rate conversion.
When used in multiview mode the MX2000 routes multiple independent sources from transmitters to a
single receiver, who then composites them into a single output. The sources can be different resolutions
and frames rates. Multiview adjusts and scales various source signals, placing them in a predefined
layout of specific dimension, then composites the scene and generates a video signal of specified
resolution and frame rate.
The SC08.MX2000 is managed and controlled using RS232 and IP control codes over the network using
an integrated web browser, PC Windows™ application or from virtually any third party controller,
including those from AMX, Crestron, Control4.

11. Network IGMP Snooping and Querier Explained
Internet Protocol (IP) multicast is a bandwidth-conserving mechanism for reducing data network traffic
by simultaneously delivering a single stream of information to thousands of recipients. Multicasting is
fundamental to the implementation of IPTV.
This is how it works.
In Diagram 1, none of the network switches have IGMP snooping or querying turned on and so the
network is not multicast enabled. The backbone switch has all the streaming traffic coming into it from
the IPTV Encoders. If we assume each stream is 4 Mbps the backbone switch will carry 4 Mbps x 3
streams = 12 Mbps of streaming traffic.
As the switches do not have IGMP turned on, the streaming traffic will flood the entire network
regardless of whether the user requests a particular stream or not.

In Diagram 2, all switches have IGMP snooping turned on and the backbone switch has IGMP query
turned on and the network is multicast enabled. Again, the backbone switch has a total of 12 Mbps of
streaming traffic coming into it from the IPTV Encoders.
Switch 1 will only have 8 Mbps of traffic reaching it as a result of the two users who have requested the
same red stream (4 Mbps) and a third user who has selected the green stream (4 Mbps). This is the
distinct advantage of multicasting - the bandwidth used is per stream and not per user.
Switch 2 will only have 4 Mbps of traffic reaching it since only the blue stream has been requested by a
user. There will be no streaming traffic on the port where there is no request for a stream. Switch 3 will
have no streaming traffic since none of the users connected to the switch have requested any streams.
