*Uncompressed video only

Congratulations on the purchase of your N2510 Windowing Processor — part of SVSi’s family of Networked AV products. An
SVSi Networked AV system comprises video and/or audio encoders, decoders, and other network accessories including
recording solutions, multi-window processing, audio-only end points, and system controllers. The system allows you to
distribute HD Video, Audio and Control across a gigabit Ethernet network. Options are available for recording, playback, and
wall processing.

The N2510 is a network-attached 1RU unit designed to accept four N2000 Networked AV video streams, each of which can be
cropped, sized, and scaled to any value and streams can be combined into a single output. There are no raw video inputs to the
N2510. Networked AV streams are input on four individual network cables and the combined video stream is output through
one additional network cable. The seven network ports (labeled P0, P1, P2, U0, U1, U2, and U3) are auto-sensing gigabit
Ethernet switch ports and can be used to distribute the N2510 output to multiple screens or to integrate third-party network
appliances. Connections to the N2510 on set-up are the power cord and one to five network cables to your video network.

The N2510 is compatible with any N1000 or N2000 networked AV stream. N1000 streams are connected through the U0-U3
ports only while N2000 streams are connected through the P0-P2 ports. Multiple N2000 streams can be accepted through one
network port while only one uncompressed N1000 stream can be accepted per port. One or more Windowing Processors can
be used as input streams to achieve larger stacked configurations by connecting an N2510 to any P0-P2 port or an N1510 to
any U0-U3 port.

Note: While the N2510 is compatible with N1000 streams, the N1510 is not compatible with N2000 streams.

Wiring for the N2510

1. The N2510 requires one to five network connections. Connect network cable(s) from the switch to Port(s) U0, U1, U2, and
U3 (this is optional) and one connection from P0 or P1 or P2 to the network switch (this connection is required).

2. Connect a power cable. The unit will power on.

The N2510 can be auto-discovered and controlled by downloading SVSi's free N-Able software (formally called Conductor
NetLite software) from http://svsiav.com/support/resources/software
in the matrix page to bring up the Windowing Processor’s configuration pages.

Note: Internet Explorer® is not a supported web browser.

. You can then double-click the Windowing Processor name

Configuration Choices

Click to access the other
configuration pages.

You can access and control your Window Processor several different ways.

• Using N-Able. The free N-Able software that you used earlier to discover your device offers full control and switching for
your unit.

• Using an optional SVSi N8001 or N8002 Controller unit. These units offer integrated web-based configuration and switch-
ing.

• Using your browser. A web server is built into the N2510 and can be accessed directly by typing the unit’s IP address into
your web browser. The N2510 ships from the factory with an auto-IP address in the 169.254.xxx.xxx range. This auto-IP
address is discoverable from any of SVSi’s control options (N-Able, N8001, or N8002).

When you reach the login screen, enter admin and password for the default username and password (change these later
under Unit Settings). This brings up the page below. Click Arrangement, Crop/Pan/Zoom, or Unit Settings to access the full
functionality of the N2510. Click the ? in the upper-right of the screen to access the unit’s Help menu.

Note: Full control and switching of the N2510 are achieved only when using N-Able or the built-in web browser.

Optional Setting Presets

This is the main control area. It is a combination of arrange, stretch, and skew options. The view port (top portion of the page)
represents the overall screen. From there, position and stretch windows by dragging-and-dropping, resizing, or directly inputing
values.

This area is also used to manipulate other settings such as borders, backgrounds, presets, mode, and input streams.Select from
any number of default or user-defined presets with audio. Slide windows around on command for attention-getting displays while
seamlessly switching video streams in and out as needed. Create touch-panels to control the Windowing Processor using SVSi’s
N8000 Series of controllers.

The screens shown on this page are samples from the N8000 Series of controllers. Using an N8000, for example, you can
create 4k or larger pixel-per-pixel video walls with spanning capability by using one Windowing Processor and one decoder
(N2000 Series unit) per panel. One encoder per live video feed allows multiple windows to be spanned and placed anywhere
on a video wall.

Video Wall Setup

The screen below shows the Video Wall Setup menu. This screen allows you to add, arrange, and resize video sources on an
SVSi video wall by dragging and dropping windows on a desktop. The internal logic handles cropping and zooming across the
wall boundaries automatically. Also, there are no limits to the size of the wall or how large a window can grow.

Unit Settings Page

The Unit Settings page (shown on page 8) allows you to configure unit and network settings as well as import/export presets
for your window processor. Available options include:

• Device Output: Enable this option prior to viewing the output of the N2510 with a decoder. When enabled, you can route
video in N-Able (or your other configuration choice) to the four windows and route the output of the N2510 to an N2000
decoder to verify operations.

• Device Name: Configure a user-friendly name for your unit.

• Output Stream: If desired, modify from the default stream number. N-Able (or your other configuration choice) may also
prompt for this to be changed when the unit is first discovered.

In the Network Setup section on the Unit Settings page:

• IP address is required, and will be used as the control IP address.

• Configure the Netmask and default Gateway address as needed or directed by IT personnel.

• After entering all of this new information, click Trial Save. If the control IP address is different from the default, you will need
to log in to the unit using its new IP address.

• Once re-logged back in, click Confirm to keep the changes. If the unit is power cycled before the changes are confirmed, it
will revert to its original IP address.

*Uncompressed video only

Use the following guidelines when troubleshooting your setup.

The N2510 is routed to a decoder, but the decoder is showing local play content.

•Is Device Output set to enabled (black text in N-Able matrix)?

• Does the N2510 have a Control IP address?

• Did you verify that no other devices have the same STREAM number as the N2510?

• Is the decoder properly assigned to the output of the N2510?

• Is the network configured appropriately for N2000 video traffic?

The N2510 is routed to a decoder, but the decoder only shows four SVSi logos.

• Are the source encoders enabled (black or blue text in the N-Able matrix)?

• Are the video sources properly routed to windows of the N2510?

• Is the network configured appropriately for N2000 video traffic?

• Does the N2510 have a four IP addresses?

You cannot access the unit properties after discovery.

Verify that the host PC has an IP address in the same range as the N2510.Double-click the name of the unit to access its properties or use a
web browser and access the unit via its IP address. The default login username and password is admin and password.
