1. Product Introduction
4K/60Hz/4:4:4, HDR. It is designed for HDMI/DP transmission over IP network with
external audio and control signals at distances up to 100m over copper cable. It works
with one control PC (Wake on LAN) and one 10GbE Switch to control a variety of
functions.
market utilizing AptoVision BlueRiver™ NT+ technology, which synergizes various
IP/AV standards to work together as one. It combines a variety of 4K IP technologies
and features under one unified protocol using a simplified topology.
decoder, seamless switching, Video wall, 1G Ethernet, IR, RS232, audio
embedding/de-embedding, audio down-mixing, etc. The control PC merge all functions
into Web-GUI, it means that user control system functions over multiple OS which
support browser anywhere in the same local area network.
Compares with traditional HDBaseT matrixAV Switching, IPA100 features low, easy
installation, more interoperability and flexibility. It is ideal for distributing AV over 10
Gigabit Ethernet in enterprises and other large-scale installations.
1.1 About 10G Network
Unlike traditional AV extension technology such as HDBaseT where transmitters and
receivers are connected point to point or joined together using custom matrix switch,
transmitters and receiver units based on BlueRiver NT and NT+ technology are
interconnected using standard of the shelf 10G Layer 2/3 network switches.
Through this architecture all signals are now packed into data packets that are
independently routed. Not only does this allow sending data from one transmitter to one
receiver (1 to 1) or one transmitter to many receivers (1 to many).
An added benefit of packet data transmission is that each signal type (video, audio,
RS232 etc.) is routed independently and not necessary to the same destination. As an
example, HDMI video received by particular Transmitter goes to 4 receivers, while the
audio goes to all receivers.
This flexibility in signal routing enables multiple applications including: matrix switching,
scalers and video-walls.
The 4K/60 HDR HDMI Over IP series is a network AV TX/RX w/HDMI and DP inputs up to

System should be installed in a clean environment with proper temperature and
humidity.
All of the power switches, plugs, sockets, and power cords should be insulated and
safe.
4.2 Connection Type
There are five types of connection way can be chosen:
Extender (Point-to-Point Application)
In a point to point configuration, there is no need for a Switch. Distribute full,
uncompressed data up to 4K@60Hz 4:4:4 resolution as well as 1G Ethernet, audio and
control signals over IP - Surpass the limitations of other technologies.
Splitter (Point-to-Many Application)
With only one IPA100E-TX transmitter and one 10G Ethernet Switch, any A/V signal
can be flawlessly and instantly distributed to a near limitless number of receivers and
screens, any number of times.
Matrix (Many-to-Many Application)
The combination of switching and splitting enables a completely scalable matrix
system. Independently route video, audio, IR and RS232 control signal from any source
to any endpoint. The IPA100 series allows for on-the-fly upgrading and a virtually
unlimited number of I/O ports.

4.4 Hardware Setup
The IPA100 extender set you have received include one transmitters (TX) and one
receivers (RX).
Please follow the steps below to complete the system installation:
1) Connect the power supply (12V DC) to the power connectors.
2) Connect the video/graphics source device to the HDMI input connector on each TX
unit.
3) Connect the video display device to the HDMI output connector on each RX unit.
4) (Optional) Connect audio sources to the audio input connector of the TX if you
want to test additional audio extension.
5) (Optional) Connect audio output device (e.g. speaker or headphone) to the audio
output connector of the RX if you want to test additional audio extension.
6) (Optional) Connect RS232 devices as needed if you want to test RS232 serial
extension between TX and RX units.
7) (Optional) Connect GbE compatible Ethernet devices as needed for testing the 1
Gig Ethernet ports of any TX or RX units.
8) (Optional) Connect compatible IR emitter modules to the IR output connectors of
any TX or RX.
9) (Optional) Connect compatible IR receiver modules to the IR input connectors of
any TX or RX.
10) Connect a 10G Ethernet cable (Cat-6a recommended) from the 10GbE port each
TX and RX unit to any available 10GBaseT port.
Cat-x port of the 10GbE switch (except the management/console port of the
switch).
12) The hardware setup is now complete.
Note that any TX can also be connected directly to a RX without the 10GbE switch
in the middle using fiber cable or Cat-x cable to test point to point functionality.
11) Connect the control PC to the GbE port of any HDTVIPA100 device or to a

4K IP Streaming Extender

Note that in order to test switching functionality through a 10GbE switch; you must
use a 10GbE layer 2, layer 3 switch with IGMP snooping capabilities. Ensure that
the IGMP snooping setting is enabled and broadcast setting is disabled using the
appropriate configuration software provided the switch manufacturer.

5. GUI Control
5.1 Basic Configuration
The web-based GUI is used to configure and control signal extension, routing and
switching between TX and RX units.
Before proceeding GUI, make sure all IPA units are powered ON. Then ensure that the
IP addresses of PC and all IPA units are on the same local area network (LAN). If this is
not the case, please manually set IP address mode as DHCP.
Please type the IPAddress of the control PC in the internet browser, and it will enter
the below log-in webpage:
Username: admin
Password: admin
Please type the user name and password, and then click Sign In.
Upon launch, the main interface appear as per the picture below:

4K IP Streaming Extender
13
5.2 Device Configuration
Before starting the GUI control, make sure the control PC is connected either directly to
the network switch or to the Gigabit Ethernet port on one of the devices (TX or RX).
Upon launch, the main window will open up in the “Video Switching” tab. It will discover
all the TX and RX devices on the network and display them inside the application GUI.
The first step is to connect to the Server. Enter the IP address and click connect.
The default Server setting is:
IP Address: 127.0.0.1
Port Number: 6970
All connected devices on the network will appear as a blue tiles within the GUI window.
Each tile will identify the “Hostname” of the device. The default device “Hostname” is
the MAC address. Note that the “Hostname” can be updated at any time. The “IP
Address” of the device is also indicated within the tile.
If a source device is connected to the HDMI port of the TX, a picture illustrating a
source device will appear within the tile belonging to the TX along with information
about the video feed. Similarly, if a display device is connected to the RX, an illustration
of a display will appear within the corresponding RX tile. If no device is visible within the
tile, it means that the device is connected and detected but no source (or display)

5.3 Video Routing Tab
Video Routing tab is used to manage video routing between TX and RX devices. There
are three modes available for Video Routing:
Genlock
The primary benefit of the Genlock mode is very low (zero-frame) latency between the
source and displays. The display is genlocked to the source as if it is directly
connected.
When Genlock is selected, what is sent out to the display is a byte-by-byte replication
of what was received from the source.
The only exception is in the occasional instance when the input video has too high a
bandwidth to fit into a 10G network link. In these cases, the video is slightly
compressed to bring the stream down below the 10G limitation of the network. An
example of a signal that is over 10G is a UHD 60Hz with full color sampling (RGB or
YCbCr 444).
Genlock Scaling
This mode combines the low latency and source locking benefits of the Genlock mode
with the output scaler found in the Fast Switch Full Screen mode.
