1. Introduction
This Video over IP Controller is used to control and manage IP products. It
supports dual 1G network ports, which can realize dual-network isolation of
the Control network and Multicast video distribution network. It supports
Web GUI/TCP/RS-232/IR/GPIO controls, POE function, and IR control
signal passthrough as well. Since the demand for IP products is daily
increased in the current market, the IP Controller will be widely applied in
more and more different scenarios.
2. Features
☆Easy to create projects, control, and manage the system
☆HTTPS, SSH, SFTP security compatible
☆Built-in Web GUI control interface, supporting Drag & Drop operations
☆Support image preview
☆Support video, audio, RS-232, IR, KVM control, and management of the
distributed system
☆Dual network ports (VIDEO LAN port supports POE function) to isolate
Controls and Multicast networks.
☆Support LAN/RS-232 port control and third-party central control
☆Support IR signal receiving (3.5mm audio jack, 12V level)
☆4 channel GPIO control ports (5V/12V optional level)
☆Multiple circuits protection, lightning protection, and ESD design
☆Reliable system design, ensuring 7*24 hours reliable and stable work

6. Rack Mounting Instruction
6.1 6U Rack Mounting
This Controller can be mounted in a standard 6U rack (Please contact your
supplier for a 6U rack sale). The mounting steps are as follows:
Step 1: Use included screws to fix two mounting ears on the Controller, as
shown in the figure below:
Step 2: Insert the Controller with mounting ears into a 6U rack (up to 10units
can be installed vertically), as shown in the figure below:

6/29
Step 3: Use screws to fix mounting ears on the rack to complete
themounting, as shown in the figure below:
6.2 1U Rack Mounting
This Controller also can be mounted in a standard 1U rack (up to 4 units can
be installed horizontally). The mounting steps are as follows:
Step 1: Stack two Controllers on top of each other, then use included screws
to fix two 1U rack panels on the Controllers, as shown in the figure below:

7/29
Step 2: Fix two 1U rack panels on another two stacked Controllers in the
same way, then use screws to fix two 1U rack panels together, as shown
in the figure below:
Step 3: Fasten screws between two 1U rack panels, so that four Controllers
are mounted in a 1U rack, as shown in the figure below:

7. Web GUI User Guide
7.1 Preparation before Entering the System
You can use Controller’s Web GUI to control all IP products at the Switch.
The operation method is shown below:
Step 1: Input the Controller’s default IP address (192.168.0.225) or the URL
(http://controller.local) into the Web browser address bar on the PC to enter the
Web GUI login interface.

9/29
Select the initial username (admin) and input the initial password (1234) on
the above login interface. Then, click “Log In” to enter the Web GUI interface.

7.2 Functions and Operation
■Preview Page
On this page, you can preview the Encoder/Decoder by clicking the drop-
down list on the right side.
■Matrix Control Page
①Encoders: Display all the current Encoders. The text in the figure is the
name of the device.
② Decoders: Display all the current Decoders. The text on the first line is
the name of the Decoder, and the text on the second line refers to the
Encoder where the signal resource is from.

13/29
Operating Instructions:
(1) If an Encoder shows “No Signal”, it means that the Encoder cannot be
dragged.
(2) If there is an image on an Encoder, it means that the Encoder can be
dragged. As shown in the figure above, if an Encoder is dragged to the
place where the red arrow points to, all Decoders will share the same
signal resource from this Encoder; if an Encoder is dragged to the place
where the blue arrow points to, only the indicated Decoder can receive
signals from this Encoder.
