The 3G-SDI/ST2110 over IP Uncompressed Gateway Converter allows HD-SDI
and 3G-SDI equipment to be extended up to 100ft (30m) via UTP Cat 6a/7 cable
or up to 1300ft (400m) via duplex multimode OM4 fiber with LC connectors, at up
to 1080p resolution @ 60Hz uncompressed, in a point-to-point configuration.
Point-to-multipoint and multipoint-to-multipoint configurations are also possible by
connecting several units to a 10G Ethernet network. The unit provides a 1G
Ethernet Switch port to connect additional network devices, and an RS232 port
for remote control of end devices.
The following diagram illustrates a typical point-to-multipoint LAN configuration.
The 500767 is an ideal solution for SDI/IP hybrid environments. It
allows broadcasters the ability to have a single IP infrastructure rather
than two different ones. The 500767 applications include commercial
broadcast AV systems, news/sports/TV stations and movie networks.
The 3G-SDI/ST2110 over IP Uncompressed Gateway can be managed through
its Web interface and API. This section describes how to set up the 500767
parameters using both the Web interface and the API.
2.1 Web interface
Configuring the 500767 from the Web interface requires a TCP/IP connection
from the unit Ethernet port to your network. The 500767 default IP address is set
to DHCP. If no DHCP is available on your network, both the TX and RX will
default to 192.168.168.64 and 192.168.168.65 addresses respectively. To be
able to log in to the 500767 Web interface, your computer has to be in the
same subnet.
2.1.1 Configuring the 500767 TX
This section will describe how to configure the unit using the Web interface.
2.1.2 Media Page
To connect in to the TX, you may open a Web browser and type its IP address.
Once connected, the Media page opens. This page contains both the video and
audio settings. See example below:
The System Info page displays general product information such model number,
firmware and FPGA version, MAC and IP address, RS232 settings, etc.,

2.1.4 Upgrade Page
The 500767 comes with the firmware preinstalled, but please check the MuxLab
Web site to verify if a newer version is available. You may go to our support
software/firmware page of our Web site to download the required files:
The 500767 upgrade requires two different files. The FPGA file will upgrade the
IC components while the MCU one will do the same with the remaining
components.
