Introduction
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
streamnet aVoIP™ VIDEo PlatforM
The StreamNet IP platform is designed to send high-quality audio and video over a TCP/IP network
(AVoIP™). An encoder, such as a VIEW Pro E120, takes digital video and audio from a source
device, such as a receiver, cable box or DVR, and makes the source available anywhere on the
StreamNet network. A decoder, such as the VIEW Pro D110, takes the combined video and audio
stream and decodes it. The D110 then sends the video and audio to a display such as a HDTV or
projector and sound system.
DEVICE aPPlICatIon
The E120 is a high definition, Internet Protocol, compressed multimedia encoder. The E120
connects to a TCP/IP network using an Ethernet connection. The E120, installed at the location of
the multimedia source, works in connection with the D110 decoder, installed at the location of the
display.
Installation should be done by a qualified Dealer Service representative. Please consult the DigiLinX
Installation Manual for device use in system configuration.

hDMI InPuts
The HDMI connectors on the E120 receive digital video and audio.
Ir In
This jack allows connection of an StreamNet compatible infrared receiver. The infrared receiver can
pick up IR remote control signals for IR learning.
Ir out
This jack allows connection of an infrared transmitter. The infrared transmitter can send IR remote
control signals.
rs-232 (CoM)
These jacks allow the E120 to control a source, or other connected source device. They support
sending and receiving RS-232 commands to control devices.
19VDC InPut
This connector provides power input for the E120. This power is available using the included power
supply.

MOUNTING THE E120
The VIEW Pro encoder includes a Rack Mount Kit (910-0002-001) with rack-mount ears that attach
to the encoder to facilitate mounting in a standard rack.
When mounted, the I/O connections are accessible from the back of the unit. (If needed, the unit
can also mount with the I/O connections facing the front of the rack.)
The VIEW Pro encoder can also be surface mounted using the optional Wall Mount Kit (910-0002-
002) with surface-mount ears that attach to the encoder to facilitate mounting.
An optional VESA mount bracket Kit (910-0002-006) is available for applications where an encoder
must be located on a VESA mount.

Two sections or more kits may be combined to make a longer raceway. Join them using the included spring pins.
The metal cover may be cut to size as needed.
There may some situations where the VIEW Pro cables cannot be concealed within a cabinet or in a
wall. These cables can be surface mounted and concealed using the optional 910-0002-003 VIEW
Pro Cable Raceway Kit. This raceway, in 12-inch joinable lengths, can be mounted to the wall to
secure and cover the cables to the VIEW Pro devices.

(Currently Not Used)
The VIEW Pro E120 encoder takes digital video and audio from source devices such as media/disc
players, cable/satellite boxes, DVRs, and cameras, and then makes the digital video and audio
available anywhere on the StreamNet® IP network. a StreamNet TCP/IP network using a standard
10/100/1000 Mbit Ethernet connection. The VIEW Pro decoders, as counterparts, are installed at
the locations of the target video displays. They operate together: the encoders providing the IP
data for the decoders to deliver to the displays..
CONNECTING THE E120
The E120 Encoder connections are from the back of the unit as shown in the following diagram.
6 tEChnICal suPPort: 800.283.5936
Software Setup of the E120
The E120 is setup for use in a commercial or residential network using the StreamNet Dealer Setup
program and the accompanying StreamNet Dealer Setup manual. StreamNet Dealer Setup is a
PC-based program that allows you to configure devices so that they can communicate across a
StreamNet network. Phases of the software setup include:
• Adding or creating a new project or opening an existing project
• Finding the new device
• Matching the new E120 physical hardware device to the hardware setup in the project
• Configuring the device with system-specific information
• Saving the project
• Sending the configuration files to the devices
The steps involved in these processes are detailed in the DigiLinX Dealer Setup manual available
for viewing or download at www.ClearOne.com.
LUA FILE
Control options for VIEW Pro devices using StreamNet Dealer Setup is facilitated but the .lua file
found in the C:\Program Files x86)\ClearOne\StreamNet Application Suite\viewPro\drivers directory
VIEW Pro has two DB9 Serial ports available on both Encoder and Decoder.
Information about editing and using .lua files for RS-232 control is included in the VIEW Pro RS-232
Control section later in this manual.
