Chapter 3 Network Setup

An RJ-45 Ethernet cable. Windows 7/8/10 laptop or PC. The Datavideo Switcher Image
Import/Export software.
The Ethernet port on the back panel of the HS-1300 allows the user to import or export Stills/Clip files and User memory using the Switcher Image Import/Export software. The Switcher Image Import/Export software allows you to manipulate user memories, still pictures and clip files.
Section 3.1 discusses direct connection between the HS-1300 and your Windows computer. In Section 3.2, we will show you how you can remotely set up the Switcher Image Import/Export software with your switcher after it is installed on your Windows computer.

3.1 Switcher Setup with a Windows Computer

When new from the factory the HS-1300 will initially have a static IP address of 192.168.100.101. The
unit can be directly connected to a Windows-based computer using an RJ-45 ethernet cable. The following set up should allow you to initially configure the unit before moving it to an existing DHCP / LAN network.
Instructions
1. First connect the HS-1300 and the Windows computer together using an RJ-45 ethernet cable.
2. Turn on the Windows computer and set it to static IP setup within the Windows Network and Sharing
Centre. In our example below the computer is given the following IP settings so that the computer matches the same IP range as the switcher.
3. Now install the Switcher Image Import/Export software to the computer.
20

3.2 Installing the Switcher Image Import/Export software to a Windows Computer

The HS-1300 can be connected to a simple IP network and accessed using Windows-based software. If you have not already set up the HS-1300 with a computer then please follow the instructions in the previous section.
Please download the latest software from the Datavideo HS-1300 web page. See:
www.datavideo.com
The install executable file [.msi] will be called SwitcherImageImEx_vXXXX.msi
The vXXXX represents the latest version number.
Double click this .msi file then follow the on screen install wizard prompts.
Once installed launch the Switcher Image Import/Export software.
The Switcher Image Import/Export software has a built-in IP finder, which is designed for PC with multiple Ethernet cards or DHCP network environment. Please note IP finder can only find devices that are on the same network domain as the PC. If you cannot remember your device IP, please press the RESET button to restore the default network settings. Upon launch of the Switcher Image Import/Export software, you will be prompted to select one Ethernet Interface Card.
Once selected, click OK to start the scanning process.
Note: Please make sure the selected interface card is on the same network domain as the HS-1300 device.
Once the HS-1300 device is found, the software will connect with the switcher hardware over the IP set up described in the previous section. If the connection is successfully established, on the software user interface as shown in the diagram below, the Connect Status will show “Connected” (will display Not Connected if disconnected).
21

Router Based DHCP Setup

An IP router which can assign/give IP
addresses.
Two RJ-45 patch leads. Windows 7/8/10 laptop or PC. The IP router Administrator login and
password.
The Datavideo Switcher
Image Import/Export software.
The computer software can also access the HS-1300 over an existing TCP/IP LAN type network. In order to initially set up the HS-1300, you may need the assistance of your local I.T. specialist to help with the network settings. To help guide you, we have included a simplified network setup example below, further advice may be available through your dealer locally or your Datavideo regional office.
To create this simple dedicated HS-1300 IP network you will need:
1. First connect the router to the HS-1300 and the Windows computer using two RJ-45 patch leads.
2. Turn on the Windows computer and set it to DHCP setup within the Windows Network and Sharing
Centre.
3. Now click the Windows start button and run the CMD prompt window.
4. At the command line > : _ type IPCONFIG and press enter.
Instructions
22
5. The DEFAULT GATEWAY number displayed should be the router’s current IP address.
6. Enter the DEFAULT GATEWAY IP address into the address bar of the computer’s web browser.
7. The web browser should display the login window for the router. Enter the router’s login and/or
password. The login details may be written on a sticker on the router itself or noted in the manual for the router.
8. Once logged into the router we need to change the router to supply IP addresses in the
192.168.100.xxx range. Use the router’s LAN Setup or Configure LAN option to set the router’s IP address as 192.168.100.1 and click save / apply.
9. Now reboot the router and power ON the HS-1300.
10. Log into the router again using the web browser and the router’s new IP address 192.168.100.1
11. Use the router’s LAN Setup or Configure LAN option again, within this option there should be another
option called Address Reservation or Client List.
12. The two devices connected to the router should be listed here, the computer and the HS-1300.
13. The computer, because it is set for DHCP, will already have an IP address automatically assigned to it in
this list.
14. The HS-1300 will also be listed with its default IP address of 192.168.100.101 if it is not changed.
15. Click save / apply then reboot the router again.
16. Close the web browser and CMD windows.
17. Now install the Switcher Image Import/Export software to the computer.

Setting the Target IP Address with the Switcher Image Import/Export Software

Click Setup button in the MENU SELECT pane and the current IP Network settings are shown alongside the software version.
23
If the network settings are wrong then you may not be able to access the HS-1300. Always keep a note of the last IP settings used and change these settings carefully to avoid problems.
Target IP address This IP address is the location on the local network, or the internet, where the software can talk to the HS-1300. By clicking the Target IP address you can enter a new address, once entered click Save Setup. The next time the Image Import/Export Software is opened, it will try to contact the switcher on this new Target IP address.
Network – This option in the yellow menu column allows you to change the network options on the HS-
1300. When delivered from the factory the default static IP settings should be:
Addr Mode: Static (a manually set IP address that does not change even after power cycling the HS­1300 unit)
Target IP address: 192.168.100.101 Network Mask: 255.255.255.0 Gateway: 192.168.100.1
DHCP Setup - If the IP set up method is changed to DHCP then each time the HS-1300 is started, it may be
given a different IP address by the network. Only use this method if you know how to find the HS-1300 on the internal IP network. A device on the network (usually a router or server) will automatically assign an IP address to the HS-1300. The other settings such as IP address, Subnet Mask and Gateway may appear blank within the Switcher Image Import/Export software as these would be automatically set by network router/DHCP server.

Chapter 4 Switcher OSD MENU

When the MENU button is pressed the Main Menu list is displayed on the HS-1300 monitor.
This section covers the Menu options in the order that they appear on the HS-1300 monitor. These settings may also appear in more detail elsewhere in this instruction manual. Options may vary depending on the firmware version in use.
Once the chosen setting has been confirmed with the ENTER button, it is stored within the switchers non-volatile memory.
