Operating the AV Bridge 2x1
The AV Bridge 2x1 provides a web-based user interface in addition to the front panel controls for basic
functions. To access the web interface, you may need to log in with the user account credentials,
depending on how the device is configured. The admin login is not required.
Contact the administrator for information on accessing and logging in to the web interface.
To operate the device effectively, you will need to be able to view one of these:
nHDMI output (the display connected to the device)
nUSB stream
nIP stream
About Viewing Streams
The USB stream is always available to the computer directly connected to the device.
IP streaming is disabled by default. If you are unable to view the IP stream, this usually means it is not
enabled. Contact your system administrator.
To view the IP stream:
nIf RTMP streaming is selected, you will need to know the service provider and channel.
nIf RTSP streaming is selected, you will need to know the streaming URL for the IP stream. Contact
the system administrator for this information. It is available from Streaming page in the admin portion
of the web interface.
nYou will need a stream viewer application such as VLC Media Player to view the RTSP stream.
To view the USB stream:
Connect a computer to the USB port on the device, and do one of these things:
nOpen a stream viewer and select the camera as the video capture device.
nStart or join a conference.
When viewing either stream, keep in mind that there is always inherent latency and network-dependent
latency, so the video and audio may not be perfectly synchronized. An audio delay adjustment is
available to administrators on the Audio page of the web interface.

Quick Steps You Can Take from Any Page
ALL OPERATOR PAGES
All non-administrative pages of the web interface provide controls for muting, video, and graphics.
Muting and Standby
nMute all video – HDMI Out and the USB and IP streams send the selected video mute pattern, either
black video or color bars. Audio remains on unless you mute it also.
nMute all audio – Disables the microphone inputs and the audio portion of the stream. It does not
disable PC audio input or HDMI audio output; if you mute audio while playing content from a PC, the
audio portion of the content is not muted. Video remains on unless you mute it also.
nSet the system to standby mode – Connected cameras may also go to standby mode, depending
on how the system is configured.
Video Input Switching and Graphics
nChange video input (Switching)– Toggle between input 1 and input 2.
nTurn keying on/off and select keying source – When you change the video input, you may want to
change keying as well.
Working with the PIP
nCheck the PIP status and layout at a glance.
nChange the PIP layout – Select Layout to open the PIP Layout window.

Working with Cameras
The web interface shows the active video source in red.
Select the video source to display on the HDMI output and the IP and USB streams. If it is a camera, you
do not need to log in to its web interface - you can control it directly from the AV Bridge 2x1 web interface.
The Home page and Camera page both present the camera controls available. These depend on the
camera's capabilities.
Working with Camera Presets
HOME PAGE (USER OR GUEST ACCESS)
If presets have been defined for the selected video input, they are available on the Home page. The
administrator has the option to customize the labels for the video inputs and the presets for each.
Controlling Movement
CAMERA PAGE (USER OR GUEST ACCESS)
The Camera page presents the same controls that are available from the selected video input's web
interface. Depending on the camera, these may include pan, tilt, zoom, and focus controls.

Working with Macros
MACROS PAGE (USER OR GUEST ACCESS)
Macros provide shortcuts for common sequences of actions. For example, the system administrator
might create a macro that moves and zooms a camera to frame the presenter at the podium, then
switches to that camera and the podium microphone.
If macros have been defined, you can select them from the Macros page.
