Rack Mounting

The transceiver supports both 6U and 1U rack mounting. For 6U racks, attach the included mounting ears to the transceiver and secure it into the rack. For 1U racks, stack two transceivers, attach 1U rack panels, and fasten them together to mount up to four units horizontally.

Web GUI and Preview Stream

To configure the device, connect a PC to the transceiver. Set the PC's IP address to 169.254.100.100 (Subnet mask 255.255.0.0). Use a Bonjour protocol checking tool to find the Encoder's IP address. Access the Web GUI via a browser using the default credentials (username: admin, password: admin). You can also stream the Secondary Stream using VLC Media Player by entering the network URL (rtsp://169.254.100.254/live/main/av_stream).

Network Switch Requirements

The system requires a 10G managed network switch with the following features: Layer 3 support, 10 Gigabit bandwidth, IGMP version 2 support, IGMP version 2 snooping enabled, filtering/dropping of unregistered multicast traffic, disabling of unregistered multicast flooding, and fast leave support.

Application Example

The transceiver is designed for AV over IP systems, allowing multiple Encoders and Decoders to be connected via a 10G Ethernet switch. A controller box can manage the system, enabling video wall and multiview functions.
