The IP-Loipgic ecosystem is an extremely scalable Audio/Video over Internet Protocol (AVoIP)
solution designed to distribute audio, video, and control over standard Internet Protocol (IP)
networking. The modularity of the IP-Logic system allows for the utilization of standard Network
switch topologies and Ethernet cabling infrastructures (Copper or Optical) to distribute and
connect a large number of AV sources and displays.
The IP-Logic RX and TX series employs SDVoE technology to distribute up to UHD video over 10G
network. With resolutions up to 4K/60Hz 4:4:4, 4K/60Hz Dolby Vision, HDR10+, HDR10, HLG,
HDCP 2.3 video, and an independent AES67 digital audio distribution, the IP-Logic series is the
superior platform for distributing nearly lossless AV over IP multimedia.
Component Descriptions
The IP-Logic series consist of hardware and software components that make up the entire AVoIP
ecosystem. This modularized approach reduces overall system costs by mixing and matching only
the required number of components during customer deployment.
Essentials
The Essentials unit is the control server for all IP-Logic AVoIP devices. This unit is the main
interface for all AV Transmitters and Receivers, providing the interface to select media content
from a Transmitter and displaying it to a single or multiple endpoint Receivers. Every parameter
used to control any IP-Logic device passes through an Essentials unit and only a single Essentials
device is required per installation.
Essentials feature auto discovery of all supported IP-Logic components within the network, Web
based Graphical User Interface (GUI), and support for the most popular third-party control
systems to enable the most flexible configuration of AVoIP subsystems.
Essentials has two LAN ports. Ethernet 1 is assigned to connect to the facility network and must
have Internet access for downloading the latest firmware/software. Ethernet 1 is also used to
connect Essentials to control systems such as Crestron, RTI, Control4, etc.
Ethernet 2 is assigned for the IP-Logic private network and must be isolated from the facility
network. Ethernet 2 will only be used for AVoIP network traffic.

ZIG-IPPro-TX
ZIG-IPPro-TX converts up to live HDMI 2.0 video to a visually lossless streaming network packet
for transmission over 10G network. The ZIG-IPPro-TX has a single 10GBaseT copper RJ-45
connector or optical connector (10G SFP+ Multi-mode or Single-mode Modules sold separately).
HDCP 1.4/2.2 content protection is supported for components such as Set-Top boxes, Blue-Ray
players, gaming consoles and other media players. A single ZIG-IPPro-TX can broadcast to an
almost unlimited number of IP-Logic Receivers.
HDMI extraction of downmixed 2-channel PCM audio is supported and played out on the ZIG-
IPPro-TX built-in analog L-R audio connectors. Other networked audio sources (HDMI Extracted
audio from other ZIG-IPPro-TX units, ARC from ZIG-IPPro-RX units, AES67, Dante, RAVENNA, and
Ethernet AVB, could be selected and played on the analog audio output.
ZIG-IPPro-TX devices have IR and RS-232 inputs and outputs. The inputs will be converted to
network streams to be broadcast to other IP-Logic endpoints. The signals from the outputs
originate from broadcasted streams from other IP-Logic sources.
ZIG-IPPro-TX feature a USB-Type B connector to interface with host devices such as computers.
The USB packets will be converted to network streams and broadcast to other IP-Logic endpoints
connected to USB devices such as Keyboards, Mice, Webcams, Thumb Drives, etc.

ZIG-IPPro-RX decode network packet streams over the 10G IP Network and convert the signals
up to live HDMI 2.0. A single 10G copper RJ-45 connector or optical connector (10G SFP+ Modules
sold separately) are used to receive the network packets. The HDCP 1.4/2.2 supported HDMI
output is connected to displays such as TVs, projectors, monitors, and HDMI Audio Processors.
ZIG-IPPro-RX can upscale or downscale an incoming stream. Frame rate conversion and color-
space conversion is also supported to optimize the HDMI video to the recommended video
format of the display.
Audio Return Channel (ARC) and Optical Audio TOSLINK are included for streaming over IP
Network. These streamed audio channels will be received by selected ZIG-IPPro-TX to be played
out on its respective analog audio connectors.

IP-Logic can be configured from a simple Point-to-Point connection without a managed network
switch, to a complex videowall application using multiple Transmitters and multiple Receivers.
As the customer needs grow, the deployment can be easily scaled by adding more Transmitters
and Receivers as required.
Point to Point - Single Transmitter and Single Receiver
The simplest connection of IP-Logic is a single Transmitter and a single Receiver in a “Point-to-
Point”configuration without the need for Essentials and a managed network switch. Although
this type of connection does not allow any control of the IP-Logic devices, an Essentials and a
network switch may have to be employed first so that the Transmitter and Receiver will
automatically connect. Once connected, Essentials and the network switch could be removed.
