2.2 Multi View
The HS-3200 Multi view output can be supplied from the HDMI or SDI outputs, see Chapter
4 (4.7) for configuring the outputs. The Multi view shows monitoring images for Preview
(PVW), Program (PGM) and Inputs 1~12. The Multi view can also show audio level bars
overlaid on the Program image. This confirms the analogue XLR audio input is being received
and embedded to the selected Program output(s).
HS-3200 Multi-view is supplied from the HDMI connection(s) on the rear panel and available
across multiple HDMI monitors (not supplied). Since a variety of multi-image layouts is
available, these HDMI outputs can be used to monitor video and audio in a number of
different configurations. The layout of the multi view can also be changed. The sources can
be swapped around using the cross point section of the Inputs menu. For each setup,
embedded audio level indication is available on the Preview and Program windows.
The diagrams below depict four different multi-view layouts available on the HS-3200.

Chapter 3 Network and Software Setup for
An RJ-45 Ethernet cable.
Windows 7/8/10 laptop or PC.
The Datavideo Switcher
Image Import/Export
software.
Switcher
The Ethernet port on the back panel of the HS-3200 allows the user to import Still/Clip
image or User memory using the Switcher Image Import/Export software. This chapter
discusses direct connection between the HS-3200 and your Windows computer as well as
the remote setup in detail. Please note that the Switcher Image Import/Export software
must be installed on your Windows-based computer before using this feature.
3.1 Switcher Setup with a Windows Computer
When new from the factory the HS-3200 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.
1. First connect the HS-3200 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, the computer is given the following IP
settings so that the computer matches the same IP range as the switcher.
Instructions
21
3. Now install the Switcher Image Import/Export software to the computer.
3.2 Installing the Switcher Image Import/Export software to a
Windows Computer
The HS-3200 can be connected to a simple IP network and accessed using Windows-based
software. If you have not already set up the HS-3200 with a computer then please follow the
instructions in the previous section.

9. Click SwitcherImageImEx to open the program.
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, simply open the OSD menu and then go to the Setup sub menu 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-3200 device.
Once the HS-3200 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).

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-3200 over an existing TCP/IP LAN type
network. In order to initially set up the HS-3200, 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-3200 IP network you will need:
1. First connect the router to the HS-3200 and the Windows computer using two RJ-45
patch leads.
Instructions

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.
5. The DEFAULT GATEWAY number displayed should be the router’s current IP address.
6. Press the MENU button on the HS-3200 control panel to open the OSD menu on the
connected Multiview monitor. Open the Network sub menu of the Setup menu and
then change the Addr Mode to DHCP from the default Static IP. Move to the SAVE
option and then press the ENTER button to save new settings.
7. Reboot the HS-3200 and after the machine is rebooted, open the Network sub menu by
following the instructions outlined in the previous step. The IP Addr option should show
an IP address assigned randomly by the router thus having identical network domain as
the router. If you see an IP address of 0.0.0.0 in the IP Addr field, it is likely that the
router requires longer time to assign an IP address to the connected devices. Close the
Network sub menu and reopen after 30-60 seconds, you should be able to see the
newly assigned IP address.
8. Now install the Switcher Image Import/Export software to the computer.
Setting the Target IP Address with the Switcher Image Import/Export
Software

alongside the software version.

If the network settings are wrong then you may not be able to access the HS-3200. 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-3200. 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-3200. 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 HS-3200 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-3200 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-3200 on the internal IP network. A device on the network (usually
a router or server) will automatically assign an IP address to the HS-3200. 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.
The software supports multiple languages which are English, Traditional Chinese and
Simplified Chinese.
Note: The latest software version can be downloaded from the product page. To update the
software, it is recommended to remove the existing program first. Click “Start Menu >
Programs > datavideo > tools > Uninstall” to remove the program. If the program is not
removed, the user will be prompted that the PC already contains the same program during
the reinstallation process. Click “Remove” to remove SwitcherImageImEx from your
computer.
