TesiraLUX IDH-1 & OH-1 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The TesiraLUX IDH-1 is an AVB/TSN-enabled video encoder capable of transmitting video signals up to
and including 4K60. The IDH-1 func t ions as a server-class devi ce in a Tesira me dia system and i s
configure d through the Tesira software. Acting as an AVB talker, the IDH-1 fully integrates di gital audio
and video on a single network, allowing for simplified lip sync management and transmission latencies
(including scaling) of less than 2 frames. Integrated design, confi guration an d control is facilitated via a
single software platform, reducing the de sign time needed to deploy media systems. Mu ltiple software­based options are available for managing bandwidth, including setting the maximum resol ution , fr ame
rate floor, and/or a rate of compression. The AVB/TSN signal tr ansmissi on can be switc hed over 1Gb or
10Gb ports w hile control si g n a l s ar e m anaged via a s ep arate 1Gb Eth ernet port. Th e I D H -1 accepts 8
channels of PCM audio for embedding/ de-embedding and includes 2 mic/line level analog inputs. The
TesiraLUX IDH-1 is well suited for legal proceedings, lecture halls, multi-use spaces and other
applications where low latency, synchronized m edia distribution is needed.

The TesiraLUX OH-1 is an AVB/TSN enabled video decoder capable of outputting video signals up to
and including 4K60. The OH-1 functions as a server-class device in a Tesira media sy stem and is
configured through the Tesira software. Acting as an AVB listener, the OH-1 fully integrates di gi tal audio
and video on a single network, allowing for simplified lip sync management and transmission latencies
(including scaling) of less than 2 frames. Integrated design, configuration, and control is facilitated via a
single software platform, reducing the design time needed to deploy media systems. The AVB/TSN signal
reception can be over 1Gb or 10Gb ports while control signals are managed via a separate 1Gb Ethernet
port. The OH-1 accepts 8 channels of PCM audio for embedding/de-embedding and incl udes 2 mic/line
level analog outputs. The TesiraLUX OH-1 is well suited for legal proceedings, lecture halls, multi-use
spaces and other applications where low latency, synchronized media distribution is needed.

The TesiraLUX IDH-1 and OH-1 support High-bandw idth Digital C ontent Protection (HDCP).

TesiraLUX IDH-1 & OH-1 SETUP AND INSTALLATION

Setup and Use

The Tesira Software provides configuration for the TesiraLUX devices i n a T esira system. The information
supplied by this manual relates to front panel operation and physical connections. F or more details o n
software s et u p, please cons ul t t h e Tesira Hel p Fi le.

Installation

Install the unit in spaces with adequate ventilation away from heat sources, such as hot air vents or
radiators. Make sure air can circulate freely through the front ventilation fan intak e, and that the rear and
side exhausts are not obstructed. Do not exceed the maximum ambient operating temperature of 32° ­108° F (0° - 42°C). Be aware of conditions in an enclosed rack or cabinet that may cause the temperature
to exceed ambient room conditions. If the unit is not mounted fl at , m ake sure the ex ha u sts are at the top
of any altern a t i v e orientatio n.

Ventilation Fan

Each device has a perforated cover to allow cool air into the chassis. A variable speed, temperature­controlled fan allow s air to circulate through the unit from front to the back left and right sides. Make sure
nothing obstructs the air-circulation perforations.

LED Status Indicators

Five multi-color LEDs on th e f ront panel provide infor m at i o n a b o ut t h e status of the dev i ce and the Tesi ra
system.

• Power – Reports power of the host device and Front Panel Display.

• Alarm – Reports abnormal conditions local to the host device.

• Activity – Reports the activity of host device within the greater sy st em.

• Status – Reports the status of host device.

• AIS (Alarm in System) – Reports abnormal conditions within the wider system.

Display Navigation Buttons

Capacitive-touch buttons allow navigation through the OLED display menu to view and configure device
and networking inf ormation, as w ell a s view system-wide faults. Navigating the display is done using the
touch-sensitive UP, DOWN and SELECT buttons.

OLED Display

The OLED display provides information about the server device as well as the Tesira system that is
connected to the server. The OL ED display is rea d-only.

Home Screen

The home screen is the default screen that shows an overview of the device. If the tex t is too long to fit on
the entire display, it will scrol l to the left. Menus at the bottom allow other selections. The main menu icon
is selected by default.

Some menu icons double as status indicators. They change depending on the status of the device. The
fault status and HDCP icons only appears if there is an active fault in the system or if HDCP is enabled for
any video channel within the device.

After a period of inactivity, the Front Panel Display will transition back to the home screen.
