Instruction Manual 1
Introduction
The IPUSB2HD2 HDMI® over IP Extender delivers a versatile HDMI-IP link between PCs on your
network and an HDMI monitor/projector, at full high denition (1080p, 1920 x 1080) video
resolution. Accompanying audio signals are transmitted directly through the HDMI output, or
separately through the built-on 3.5mm stereo output port.
An ideal solution for sharing a display or projector over an Ethernet network so that even PCs
lacking digital video output can still connect, the IP/HDMI adapter can communicate through
a network router at transmission distances up to 100m (300ft). Plus, it oers 2 USB 2.0 ports
on the display side, to connect and share peripherals such as USB storage or keyboard/mouse
input with the connected PC.
Alternatively, the device can be used directly connected as a USB to HDMI adapter.

NOTE: When connected, the HDMI video adapter will become the default audio device on
the computer system, overriding any onboard audio. Multiple audio output devices cannot
be used at the same time, as this is not supported by Windows. To switch back to using the
onboard audio, go into the Windows Sound / Audio properties (found through Control Panel)
and change the default audio playback device.
7. OPTIONAL: Connect any additional USB devices you wish to use into the USB hub ports on
the video adapter.
Hardware Installation for Ethernet
1. Connect the HDMI display device (e.g. monitor) to the video adapter and power on the
display device.
2. OPTIONAL: Connect speakers and/or a microphone to the 3.5mm audio mini-jacks on the
HDMI video adapter.

6. Launch the USB Server software application by double-clicking the desktop icon.

Instruction Manual 6
7. If DHCP (automatic IP) is available on the network, no conguration should be required.
Correct network conguration Incorrect network conguration
If a DHCP server (automatic IP) is not available on your network (such as connecting
directly to the host computer), the video adapter will use a default IP address of
192.168.1.50. If this is not compatible with your network, the video adapter will need to
be manually congured.
a) If not already, connect the HDMI video adapter to a host computer directly via UTP
Ethernet cable.
b) Assign the host computer with a manual (static) IP address of 192.168.1.51. If the HDMI
video adapter will only be connected directly to this computer, no further changes need
to be made (skip to step g).
c) Run the USB Server application program. The HDMI video adapter will appear in the list.
d) Right-click on the main HDMI video adapter device. Select the “Server Conguration”
option.
e) Uncheck the “Use DHCP” option and manually enter the IP address and Subnet Mask you
wish the HDMI video adapter to use. Click “Set” when complete.

Instruction Manual 7
f) Disconnect the HDMI video adapter from the host computer and connect both back to
the network.
g) Launch the USB Server software application.
8. The HDMI video adapter should appear as an available device, with the video and audio
components listed below it. If any additional USB devices are plugged into the video
adapter, they will also be listed. If a device status is listed as “Free” it can be connected to.
Only one user may connect to each device at a time.
To connect to any of the devices, select it from the list, then click the “Connect Device”
button or right-click on it and select “Connect Device”. The status of the device will
change to “Locally Connected” and Windows will then detect the device, as if it had been
connected via USB and automatically install it. To disconnect from any device, select it
from the list and click the “Disconnect Device”button.
NOTE: When connected, the “Media device”will become the default audio device on the
computer system, overriding any onboard audio. Multiple audio output devices cannot be
used at the same time, as this is not supported by Windows. To resume using the onboard
audio, the “Media Device”must be disconnected.

Instruction Manual 8
How to Use

Adapter, can be done in one of two ways:
1. Accessing the Windows Display Settings
• Windows XP: right-click on a blank area of the desktop,
select Properties, then click on the Settings tab:
• Windows Vista: right-click on a blank area
of the desktop, select Personalize, then
select the Display Settings option.
• Windows 7: right-click on a blank area of the
desktop, select Screen Resolution.
2. Right-clicking the DisplayLink tray icon ( ) in the system notication area.

Instruction Manual 9
NOTE: In Windows XP/Vista, changes can be made directly from the DisplayLink icon,
however in Windows 7, the DisplayLink icon automatically takes you to the Windows Display
Settings, where the same settings are available.
Windows XP/Vista
Windows 7
Display Modes
“Extend” DISPLAY MODE (DEFAULT)
A default display mode; this feature allows the attached HDMI Video Adapter enabled display
to work as an“Extended” display to the on-board display. The extended working space
improves work eciency.
You may change the relative position of this extended display through the Windows Display
Settings or the “Extend To” option in the DisplayLink icon menu.
“Mirror” DISPLAY MODE
This feature allows the same content from the on-board display to be duplicated (mirroring)
to the HDMI Video Adapter enabled display.
The screen resolution setting on the HDMI Video Adapter enabled device will match the on-
board displays’s resolution. For example, if the on-board displays resolution is
1024 x 768*32-bit, then the HDMI Video Adapter will use the same resolution.
“Set as Main Monitor” DISPLAY MODE
A unique feature to allow the HDMI Video Adapter to act as the main working display. The
HDMI Video Adapter will work as the main graphics adapter on the system, while the on-
board display will work as the extended display.
Please be advised that some display utilities and drivers that shipped with certain AGP and
built-in display adapters may prevent this option from working on some systems. You may
be able to disable the other utility program (usually found in the same toolbar located on the
bottom right hand corner) to make this function work properly.
“O” DISPLAY MODE
This option disables the video output from the HDMI Video Adapter.

Instruction Manual 10
Display Resolution
Select the desired video display resolution for the connected monitor in Extend Mode.
The default setting resolution is: 1024 x 768 * 32-bit.
Display Rotation
4 options are available: 0°(Normal), 90° (Left), 180° (Upside-Down), 270° (Right) when used
with the Extended or Primary display modes. It is a useful function for some rotatable display
devices.
Normal
Rotated Right
Rotated left
Upside-Down
Extend to
When using the “Extend” display mode, 4 options are available for placement of the extended
display, relative to the primary display: Left, Right, Above, Below. More ne adjustments to
the placement of the extended display can be made through the Windows Display Settings.
Fit to TV
When using “Extend” mode, if the image displayed on
the remote display is not properly centered, then this
option can be used to manually adjust the position of
the image. Using the + and - buttons will adjust the
image horizontally or vertically, and holding the CTRL
key while pressing the + and - buttons will allow for
smaller adjustments.

Instruction Manual 11
USB Server
The USB Server software can be congured to automatically startup when Windows starts and
also connect certain devices automatically. In the “Options” menu of the USB Server window,
the option to start the software automatically on Windows bootup is available. This will
allow the software to automatically run, if the computer ever is restarted, instead of having to
manually double-click the desktop icon each time.
Automatic Device Connection
Certain devices can be set to automatically connect (if available) to the host computer, when
the software is running. This will allow the video and/or the audio to automatically connect,
whenever the USB Server software is launched, or if unavailable originally, to automatically
connect whenever the device does become available.
This can also be applied to USB devices connected to the USB Hub ports. Right-clicking on
the device and selecting the “Connect Device Automatically” option will enable this feature
for the specic USB device.

Instruction Manual 12
Alternatively, devices on the USB Hub ports can be set to connect automatically, based on the
USB port they are plugged into on the HDMI video adapter (instead of based on the specic
USB device itself). This will allow for any type of USB device to be automatically connected
to the host computer, so long as it is connected to the specied physical port on the HDMI
video adapter. This option can be accessed by right-clicking on the HDMI Video adapter itself,
and going into the Server Conguration. NOTE: The software will show Port 3 and Port 4,
however enabling these ports for automatic connection will have no result.
NOTE: With both methods of automatic connection, if the USB device is manually
disconnected by the user, it will not automatically reconnect until the USB Server application
is restarted.
