2. INTRODUCTION
The Avenview HDM-C6VWIP-SET, Matrix IP Extender with Audio, IR RS232 and KVM function provides extension of high
definition video and high quality audio. This device can be used into any solution with its unique design allowing connection by
the following:-
Point to Point - (Direct Connection with CAT5/6) - 330ft
Point to Multi - Point with CAT5/6 requires a POE Network Switch which supports port based, IGMP v2.0 or above protocol.
For large application, we would recommend Dell Networking 5500 series, which use 2 HDMI port or 2 SFP port to cascade.
Matrix Function – with CAT 5/6 cable without any signal loss add multiple Sources to multiple TX which links via LAN by
cascading any POE Gigabit Ethernet switches up to 3 levels, to the Rx connected to the HD Monitors at different locations on
the Network. Transporting Full HD 1080p video and internally JPEG video compression adapts to available network bandwidth
if needed while retaining vivid picture with PCM audio.
Videowall Function - with CAT 5/6 cable without any signal loss add multiple Sources to multiple TX and RX to the HD
displays to achieve a Multi Input videowall configuration. The device ensures flexibility within any videowall design, layout and
configuration. Its modular design allows example 1x2 ,2x2 3x3 up to 8x8. Easily controlled via the Control Software to manage
and setup the bezel, input and configuration of the Videowall. Optional IP control box to send commands via a third party
automation system through Telnet commands for simple presentation on the HD diplays.
The IR function on the TX / RX can be used to remotely control the HDMI source device from any receiver location. Support
USB 2.0, USB signal will be passed through with the HDMI signal
Having a small form factor and easily configurable via control software on any Windows PC the user can set an IP on the
Transmitter and choose the corresponding Receiver to match the same IP subnet.
-Support 1080P@60Hz up to 100meters in Point-to-Point mode.
-Support Seamless Switching in Many-to-Many mode.
-Support matrix switching control over LAN by PC software.
-Support cascading connection through POE Gigabit Ethernet Switch.
-HDMI local Pass-through out in transmitter.
-USB over IP supported for KVM application.
-HDMI de-embedded audio out with programmable audio delay.
-Support IR, RS232 and web interface management.
- NOTE: The QUALITY and TRANSMISSION of the video signals depends on the characteristics and quality of the UTP cables
and Network Infrastructure . We recommend any Network Switches with 10GB POE IGMP v2.0 support . Tested and configured
on the below models

battery power during the installation. Do not remove power at any time during the installation process as this could lead
to incomplete results.
Software Installation
-Insert the Installation Disc provided Optional or the Control software can be downloaded from the Avenview website
under the product part number HDM-C6VWIP-SET >download/software section.
-After installation launch the Control software via the icon VWIPControlPro.exe
Note:
If you run the Avenview ControlPro tool for the first time on Windows Vista or a later version OS, the Windows Security Alert
dialog box is displayed after an attempt to search devices.

Page 14
In this case, select both check boxes in the dialog box and click Allow access to resolve this issue. If the search has timed out or
failed, re-perform the search.
The Rx and Tx devices are assigned IP addresses in the Auto IP mode by default. The network segment for their IP addresses
is 169.254.x.x and the subnet mask is 255.255.0.0. If no device is searched, check the computers IP address where the HDMI
over IP tool is installed and if it resides within the same network segment as the Rx and Tx devices, and whether the computer
shares the subnet mask 255.255.0.0.

1. All HDMI over CATx transmission distances are measured using Belden CAT6A (625MHz),
4-Pair,UTP-Unshielded, Riser-CMR, Premise Horizontal Cable, 23 AWG Solid Bare Copper
Conductors, Polyolefin Insulation, Patented Double-H spline, Ripcord, PVC Jacket using
Quantum 980 signal HDMI Video Generator Module with Video Pattern Testing and shielded
ends.
2. The transmission length is largely affected by the type of category cables, also the type of HDMI
sources, and the type of HDMI display. The testing result shows solid UTP cables (usually in the
form of 300m or 1000ft bulk cable) can transmit a lot longer signals than stranded UTP cables
(usually in the form of patch cords). Shielded STP connectors are better suit than unshielded
UTP connectors. A solid UTP CAT6A cable shows longer transmission length than solid UTP
CAT5E/6E cable.
3. EIA/TIA-568-B termination (T568B) for category cables is recommended.
4. To reduce the interference among the unshielded twisted pairs of wires in category cable, you
can use shielded STP cables with shielded connector to improve EMI problems, which occurs in
poor wiring environments with unplanned cable runs situated away from EMI interference.
5. Because the quality of the category cables has the major effects in how long transmission distance
will be made and how good is the received signal on the display, the actual transmission length
is subject to high quality category cables. For resolution greater than 1080i or 1280x1024, a
solid CAT6E 250MHz cable is the only viable choice.
