4. System Connection
4.1 Usage Precaution
Make sure all components and accessories are included before installation.
The 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.
All devices should be connected before being powered on.
4.2 Connection Type
There are five types of possible applications:
Extender (Point-to-Point)
In a point-to-point configuration, there is no need for a switch. Distribute full,
uncompressed data up to 1080p@60Hz resolution and RS232, IR control signals over
a single fiber cable.
Splitter (One-to-Many)
With only one encoder and one 1G Ethernet switch, anyA/V signal can be flawlessly
and instantly distributed to a near limitless number of decoder and screens, any
number of times.
Matrix Switcher (Many-to-One, Many-to-Many)
The combination of switching and splitting enables a completely scalable matrix
system. Independently route video, audio and RS232, IR control signal from any source
to any endpoint. The IP streaming system allows for on-the-fly upgrading and a virtually
unlimited number of I/O ports.

4.4 Hardware Setup
The IPH400 set you have received include one encoder (TX) and one decoder (RX).
Please follow the steps below to complete the system installation:
1) Connect the video/graphics source device to the HDMI input connector on each TX
unit.
2) (Optional) Connect the video display device to the HDMI output connector on each
TX unit.
3) Connect the video display device to the HDMI output connector on each RX unit.
4) (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.
5) (Optional) Connect RS232 devices as needed if you want to test RS232 serial
extension between TX and RX units.
6) (Optional) Connect compatible IR emitter modules to the IR output connectors of
any TX or RX.
7) (Optional) Connect compatible IR receiver modules to the IR input connectors of
any TX or RX.
8) Connect a 1G Ethernet cable (Cat-6a recommended) from the 1GbE LAN port
each TX and RX unit to any available 1GBaseT port.
9) Connect the control PC to the LAN port of any IPH400E / IPH400D device or to a
Cat-x port of the 1GbE switch (except the management/console port of the switch).
10) The hardware setup is now complete.
Note that any TX can also be connected directly to a RX without the 1GbE switch in
the middle using fiber cable or Cat-x cable to test point to point functionality.

5. Operation of IP Streaming Management
5.1 General Information
The IP Streaming Management is a demonstration control software used to configure
and control signal extension, routing and switching between TX and RX units.
The IP Streaming Management can be used on any Windows PC using Microsoft .Net
framework 4.0 or later Windows version.
Before proceeding, make sure all IP streaming units are powered ON. Then ensure that
the IP addresses of PC and all units are on the same local area network (LAN).

Please type the username and password, and then click Login.
IP Streaming Encoder and Decoder
Start the application by double clicking on HDTVIPH400.exe file.

Upon launch, the IP Streaming Management’s main interface will appear as shown in
the picture below:
After connecting to the LAN, the IP Streaming Management will show discovered
devices as tiles. There are few things to take note of:
The application features many different tabs to control the HDMI routing, as well as
routing of other signals such as analog audio, RS232 control, etc. The default
current tab should be "Video Switching", meaning that the video source displayed
by an RX device (Decoder).
The top area of the user interface is labeled "Decoder (RX)".All RX devices
detected on the network will appear here.
The bottom area of the user interface is labeled “Encoder (TX)". All TX devices
detected on the network will appear here.

Click on at the bottom-left corner to enter system setting interface.
In this interface, you can:
Click “LogOut” to exit the current login account.
Select “Auto Login” to save the current login account for auto-sign in next time.
Select “Initial Page” for system operating easily.
Set the log save days.
Select the “Follow video switch”. When switching video, the audio will automatically
follow the video to switch.

5.2 Device Configuration
Before starting the IP Streaming Management application, make sure it is connected
directly to the network switch on one of the devices (TX or RX). Now launch the
application. Upon launch, the IP Streaming Management 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.
All connected devices on the network will appear as a gray tiles within the application
window.
Each tile will identify the “Hostname” of the device. The default device “Hostname” is
the IPH400E/IPH400D. 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 video port of the TX, a picture illustrating a
source device will appear within the respective tile 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) device is
connected to the TX (RX).

5.3 Video Routing Tab
The "Video Routing" tab is used to manage signal routing between TX and RX devices.
All RX devices are listed in the top half of the "Decoder (RX)" section. Similarly, all TX
devices are listed in the bottom half, in the "Encoder (TX)" section.
5.3.1 Video Switching
Joining the RX to TX.
a) In the Encoder (TX) section, select a TX by clicking on its associated active tile
using the left mouse button.
b) Hold down the left mouse button and drag the TX tile over the RX tile it is to be
joined with. Then release the mouse button to drop the TX tile onto the RX tile.
c) TX and RX are now joined.
The video source connected to the Encoder (TX) now appears on the display
connected to the respective Decoder (RX).
If the video is not being displayed, please verify the following:
Ensure that the network switch has been properly configured.
Confirm that the display can support the input source resolution.

13
Verify that the HDMI cable being used is of good quality. This is particularly
important for high-bandwidths of up to 1080p@60Hz resolution, requiring a "HDMI
Premium High Speed" cable.
To assign a different input source to a Decoder (RX), repeat the steps mentioned
above, dragging a different TX over an RX to associate the decoder itself to the new
source device.
5.3.2 Disconnecting Source from RX
To disconnect a Decoder (RX) from an Encoder (TX) source, right click the menu icon
of the respective RX tile and select "Leave Video Channel".
