Introduction
Overview
Encoder
DT-HDVD-IPSTR-ENC is a live H.264 encoder which is used with H.264
decoders to deliver streaming media over IP networks, providing
complete end-to-end streaming systems. It offers one HDMI input,
two streaming media outputs and one stereo audio de-embedding
output. It employs standards-based H.264/MPEG-4 AVC encoding and
supports input signals up to 1920 x 1200@60Hz. The encoder is
capable of outputting two IP streams. One large IP stream supports a
streaming resolution from 480p@60Hz to 1920 x 1200@60Hz to view a
video on the decoder side, the other small one supports resolution
352x288@5Hz to easily fully-preview video from an encoder on PC
software or iPad. Encoders support PoE and can remotely be powered
by compatible power source equipment such as a PoE Ethernet switch,
eliminating the need for a nearby power outlet. They offer
integration-friendly control features such as PC configurator and IP
controller providing simple, flexible control and management options.
In addition, they include RS232 pass-through capacity to control a
third party device such as a projector through IP configurator and IP
controller on your computer. Encoding control provides adjustments
for encoding bit rate and quality. By extending A/V signals over
networks, A/V system capability is significantly expanded. The
VidCasterIP system offers solutions for conference rooms, shopping
malls, hotels, high resolution signage, monitoring centers, schools and
corporate training environments, etc.

Decoder
DT-HDVD-IPSTR-RX is a live H.264 decoder that uses H.264 decoders
to provide complete end-to-end streaming systems. It integrates one
streaming media input and one HDMI output and one stereo
de-embedding audio output. The decoder employs standards-based
H.264/MPEG-4 AVC video decoding and supports streaming
resolutions up to 1920 x 1200@60Hz. High performance signal
processing scales and optimize video input signals to obtain the
intended viewing effects. The output resolutions range from
480p@60Hz to 1920 x 1200@60Hz scaled based on the EDID of the
display. Also, a fixed resolution can be selected from 480p@60Hz to
1920 x 1200@60Hz for output using PC configurator. Decoders
support PoE function and can remotely be powered by compatible
power source equipment such as a PoE Ethernet switch, eliminating
the need for a nearby power outlet. They also feature CEC function,
which allows you to make TV sets play and standby through PC
configurator. They offer integration-friendly control features such as
PC configurator and IP controller providing simple, flexible control
and management options. In addition, they include RS232
pass-through capacity to control a third party device such as a
projector through IP configurator and IP controller on your computer.

Typical Application
IP Matrix
You can use encoders and decoders to build a network of IP matrix.
With PC configurator and IP controller, you can configure and manage
this function. For more information, see the respective software user
guides.
18
Hardware Installation
Warning:
Before the installation, disconnect the power supplies from all the devices.
Note:
If the Ethernet switch doesn’t support PoE, connect encoders and decoders to their power supplies.
If the PoE switch is unable to provide enough power, connect encoders/decoders to the power adapters and
disable PoE function of the connected LAN ports in the switch. We would recommend that you power
encoders/decoders using power adapters or a PoE switch instead of using their power supplies at the same time.
19
Operating the Encoders/Decoders
For more information on how to configure and manage the streaming
systems, see the user guides of PC configurator (HDMI over IP console)
and IP controller.
20
Upgrading the Encoders/Decoders
You can use MaintainTool to upgrade the encoders/decoders to their
latest versions to obtain new features. For more information, see the
user guide of MaintainTool.
21
Troubleshooting
1. The PC configurator or Maintain Tool cannot find any
encoder/decoder.
Check the Windows Firewall.
Taking Windows 7 as an example: Click Start menu, go to
Control Panel > System and Security > Windows Firewall >
Allowed Programs, select Home/Work (Private) and Public for
PC configurator and Maintain Tool.
For PC configurator (HDMI over IP Console):
22
For Maintain Tool:
Check the IP address and subnet mask of your computer. The
computer, encoders/decoders and Ethernet switch should be on
the same subnet. Therefore, set your computer's IP address as
169.254.X.X and subnet mask 255.255.0.0. For more information,
see the user guide of MaintainTool.
Check that Ethernet switch is configured properly, and that IGMP
snooping and IGMP querier are enabled.
2. Why do the displays show no pictures?
Check that all the devices are powered on.
Check that all the cables are qualified and connected properly.
Check the status of the STATUS indicators on decoders to see if
encoders and decoders are linked correctly. If link exceptions
occur, link them using the PC configurator or PC controller on
23
your computer. For more information about the STAT US
indicators, see "Front Panel" of encoder. If exceptions still exist,
see the other solutions to this question.
Check that the displays work properly, and that source devices
have normal signals output.
Check that the displays are switched to the correct source input
modes, for example switching to HDMI 1 if a display's HDMI 1
port is connected to a decoder via an HDMI cable.
We would recommend that you power encoders/decoders using
power adapters or a PoE switch instead of using their power
supplies at the same time. For example, if you want to use power
adapters, ensure that PoE function of the connected LAN ports in
the switch is disabled or a non-PoE switched is used.
Check that displays support HDCP if source videos are
HDCP-encrypted.
Check that no compatibility issues exist between displays and
decoders. If so, replace the displays with other models.
Check that encoders support the resolutions of the input signals.
For more information about the resolutions, see "Specifications"
section.
Check that Ethernet switch is configured properly, and that IGMP
snooping and IGMP querier are enabled.
3. Why do the A/V devices such as DVD players, TV sets, amplifiers
or speakers have no sound output?
Check that all the devices are powered on.
Check that all the cables are qualified and connected properly.
Check the status of the STATUS indicators on decoders to see if
encoders and decoders are linked correctly. If link exceptions
occur, link them using the PC configurator or PC controller on
24
your computer. For more information about the STATUS
indicators, see "Front Panel" of encoder. If exceptions still exist,
see the other solutions to this question.
Check that the A/V devices work properly.
Check that the A/V devices have normal signals output.
Check that the A/V devices are not set to mute or 0 for volume.
Check that encoders/decoders are not set to mute using PC
configurator. For more information, see the user guide of PC
configurator.
We would recommend that you power encoders/decoders using
power adapters or a PoE switch instead of using their power
supplies at the same time. For example, if you want to use power
adapters, ensure that PoE function of the connected LAN ports in
the switch is disabled or a non-PoE switched is used.
Check that displays support HDCP if source videos are
HDCP-encrypted.
Check that no compatibility issues exist between the A/V devices
and encoders/decoders. If so, replace the A/V devices with other
models.
Check that encoders support the resolutions of the input signals.
For more information about the resolutions, see "Specifications"
section.
Check that Ethernet switch is configured properly, and that IGMP
snooping and IGMP querier are enabled.
