1. Setting up your Videon device(s)

1.1 Network Requirements

Your installation space must be equipped with a DHCP-enabled and multicast-enabled
Ethernet router. Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) refers to a method of assigning
unique IP addresses to devices on a network. Most routers have these capabilities and default
to these settings.

Upload bandwidth needs to be sufficient for the video bitrate that you’re encoding. See the
Suggested Bitrate Table in Section 2.5. (Use a network speed diagnostic tool such as
speedtest.net to determine your maximum upload bandwidth.)

1.2 Equipment

In order to set up a Videon encoder, you need:

• HDMI or SDI video source

• Computer with Google Chrome web browser (Chrome version 39 or newer is

recommended)

• DHCP- and multicast-enabled router connected to network

• HDMI or SDI cable to connect video source to encoder

• Ethernet cable to connect encoder to router

• Ethernet cable to connect control computer to router

With your device, you received a Videon power supply and a USB stick. On the USB stick,
you’ll find the Videon Discovery Application.

1.3 Connecting Your Videon device(s)

We recommend completing all hardware connections before powering on your device.

1. Connect the video source to the device’s HDMI IN port with an HDMI cable, or the SDI
IN port with an SDI cable. Connect an audio jack to the device’s AUDIO IN port to use
analog audio, rather than embedded audio.

2. Connect the device’s Ethernet port to the router with an Ethernet cable.

3. Connect the control computer to the router with an Ethernet cable.

4. Plug one end of provided power supply into the device’s 12V connector and plug the
other into the wall. This will power on the device. Alternatively, use Power over Ethernet
to power the device. Be sure to use a PoE switch.
