Section 1 Introduction to HDIP-8000A
Product Description
'
ZyCast's HDIP-8000A HD Encoder allows the user to stream up to eight (8) HD / SD video sources over an IP Network to
an unlimited number of PC’s or TVs using a STB like the RB-601 within the IP Network. The HDIP-8000A accepts 8 HDMI
or 8 mini-DIN (Component/Composite) video inputs and the unit is designed to deliver a rich HD/SD Streaming experience
for its users deploying MPEG-2 or H.264 standards. The HDIP-8000A HD Streaming server enables high-definition
streaming with resolutions up to 1080p, providing the highest quality viewing experience for your customer. Each of the 8-
encoders is MPEG-2 or MPEG-4 switchable and supports UDP/RTP Multicast or Unicast stream types. The 1RU high design
saves space and is easily controlled via a web UI for rapid deployment.

Installation
System Installer must adhere to Article 820-40 of the NEC that provides guidelines for proper grounding and specifies
that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as
possible.
Unpacking and Inspection
Each unit is shipped factory tested. Ensure all items are removed from the container prior to discarding any packing material.
Thoroughly inspect the unit for shipping damage with particular attention to connectors and controls. If there is any sign of
damage to the unit or damaged or loose connectors contact your distributor immediately. Do not put the equipment into
service if there is any indication of defect or damage.
Hardware Installations and Connections
It is highly recommended that quality cables and connectors be used for all video and audio source connections.
1. The unit is designed to be rack mounted in a standard EIA 19” rack.
2. The unit comes standard with HDMI and DIN inputs (Component and Composite video inputs). The HDIP-8000
streamer is intelligently designed to detect the video input from the video source. HDMI Connection: Connect the
HDMI cable(s) from the video source(s) into the HDMI input(s). Or, Connect the DIN Cable to the back of the
encoder as required using the DIN to DIN or DIN to breakout cable.
Repeat this step for each video source connection required.
Be sure the connections for each source are consistent with the unit’s inputs (IN1…IN8).
3. When connecting to an IP network use an IGMP capable and enabled switch. (It is highly recommended an IT
professional who is familiar with IGMP switches assists in setting up the IGMP Switch).
4. Connect the included power cord to the unit’s POWER plug.
5. Connect the power cord to an appropriately rated AC power outlet.
Section 2 Device Programming and Setup
Connecting to the GUI Interface:
Factory Default IP: 192.168.1.9
1. Connect an Ethernet cable directly from a PC/laptop to the Remote Setup Port on the rear panel of the HDIP-8000.
2. Modify your PC/Laptop IP address to 192.168.1.11.
3. Enter ‘192.168.1.9’ into your web browser.
4. Enter GUI and make required device changes.
5. Save all changes as required, upload and reboot changes.
6. Verify parameters then end web session.

LCI Overview
The Technicolor COM3000 system has the ability to insert Local Content into the COM3000 system
using the HDIP-8000A or HDDB-8604A via Unicast addresses allowing Hotels, businesses, and other
commercial COM3000 users to add splash pages and other content to the COM3000 channel line up.
The ZyCast HDIP-8000A or HDDB-8604A outputs Unicast formatted streams that are then inserted into
the COM3000 System. The Technicolor QAM is used to assign a QAM channel to the IP stream and
incorporates the local channel into the system.
The LC source (a media player or other source) is connected to the ZyCast Encoder via a Composite,
Component, or HDMI connection. Using the ZyCast Encoder, a single or Multiple MPEG-2 SPTS
(Single Program Transport Stream) is created and is output via a 1Gbe port. The Encoder sends the
Audio and Video content via IP to the COM3000. The Integrator sets up a Unicast Stream via the Web
management pages of the encoder.
The IP output from the ZyCast Encoder is connected to the GbE1 or GbE2 port on the COM3000.

Most COM3000 system will have one QAM in the lower QAM slot. The default IP address for this slot is 192.168.6.2
For detailed COM3000 setup please refer to the Technicolor COM3000 Integrator’s manual.

Private Address Ranges, IPv4
Private IPv4 addresses are addresses set aside by the IANA (Internet Assigned Numbers Authority) for use within networks
that will not directly communicate or not be seen by the internet. These private addresses cannot be used on the Internet or be
used to communicate with the Internet. ISP’s filter out and delete packets using private IP addresses. Any organization that
uses private IP addresses on devices that communicate with the internet must use a device that performs Network Address
Translation.
Anyone can us private addresses and they are not required to seek permission to use them. Again, networks using private IP
addresses cannot communicate directly with the internet.
There are three blocks of addresses that are set aside by IANA for use in private internets and are not publicly routable on the
global internet:
Private Class A Range:10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255
Private Class B Range: 172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255
Private Class C Range: 192.168.0.0 -192.168.255.255
It is important to note that only some of the 172.xx.xx.xx and the 192.xx.xx.xx address ranges are designated for private use.
The remaining addresses are public and can be routable via the global Internet.
More information regarding private addresses can be found at http://www.iana.org and https://www.arin.net.
