2 Overview 2.1 Summary description The VX-HDV-IP modular JPEG 2000 IP encoder/decoder system for HD video and audio is configurable as encoder or as decoder. Two different video interface modules are currently available: DVI-I and 3G-SDI. HDMI and VGA transmission is also possible by means of simple converters. A separate audio interface available in the near future will also enable audio channels to be embedded or de-bedded accordingly. 2.
2.3 How it works The encoder receives and compresses the incoming HD video signal and transmits it via LAN or WAN. The decoder decompresses and passes on the original video signal to the device connected. With adequate LAN/WAN bandwidth the signal quality is not reduced. And thanks to the JPEG 2000 compression process, the image is not affected by artefacts or stutter. System delay (latency), network delay not included, is less than 3 frames.
3 Installation The VX-HDV-IP is intended for indoor installation. The operating temperature limits are -10°C to +60°C. Two or more devices stacked above each other must be adequately spaced to ensure sufficient cooling. 3.1 Tabletop version For tabletop use the VX-HDV-IP must be fitted underneath the housing with the 4 screw-on rubber feet supplied. Fit rubber feet here 3.2 Rack-mounting version The VX-HDV-IP is dimensioned so that two devices fit together in a 19-inch rack.
Front connections, set back approx. 2 cm (for plug protection) Rear connection, flush with edge of rack Rear connection, set back approx. 2 cm Page 10 724-746-5500 | blackbox.
3.3 How to change and insert the video interface modules These modules are fixed with two screws. To change a module it is only necessary to release both screws and carefully withdraw the module. Take care when installing a module that the board is supported on the guiderails at each side, and insert the module precisely in the straight or horizontal position until the connector engages. Always shut the power off before changing modules! Fixing screws 3.
4 Description The basic housing has a 10/100/1000TX Ethernet connection and two USB ports (USB 1 and USB 2) for KVM applications as well. The console port is exclusively for maintenance work and not useraccessible. The reset button on the left returns the device to factory default setting if required. Press this button for at least 5 seconds until the green power LED starts flashing to signal a reboot. The DVI module has two connections: Video In and Video Out.

5 Web interface 5.1 VX-HDV-IP system start-up The VX-HDV-IP is delivered with a preconfigured IP address. Prior to startup, the IP address must be reconfigured and the device defined either as encoder or decoder (the two functions cannot be used in parallel). Connect the Ethernet port (RJ45) of the VX-HDV-IP with shielded Cat5e cable to a Ethernet switch or network Connect the monitor to the Video Out port or Connect the video source to the Video In port.
5.2 Ethernet Here in the first register you can define the IP address, the subnet mask and the gateway. You can also allocate an IP address from the network by activating the DHCP checkbox. Prior to activation, make sure a DHCP server is present in the network. Two DNS server addresses can also be defined. For easier identification you can also assign a name to the device and designate a caption. The default name is “rioxo_0” and the default caption is “e.q. blu-ray player”.
5.3 Transmitter stream settings These settings define the video stream destination after you enter the receiver IP address accordingly. You can either set up a point-to-point connection (unicast) or a multicast connection to video stream receivers in the network that support the multicast address. For connections that need to pass through firewalls, the UDP ports for video and audio can be separately defined. To avoid unnecessary network loading, the video stream size can be defined by setting a max.
5.4 Transmitter status reports The example below shows an VX-HDV-IP with activated Blu-ray player. Operation mode: Video sink: Video source: Resolution: The device is configured as video transmitter box (vtb) No monitor is connected connected to activated Blu-ray player Video stream resolution, frame rate and pixel frequency Stream 0 (Video out): Playing = video stream currently sending Stream 1 (Audio out): Playing = Audio stream currently sending 724-746-5500 | blackbox.
5.5 Choose the receiver’s EDID By default, the transmitter requires the EDID of the sink (e.g. monitor), so that the best possible resolution the receiver can handle is delivered. Only when an EDID is received, the transmitter sends a video stream. If the sink can not send an EDID, the transmitter has to be set on “Use default EDID“. Thus, the video stream is sent with the same resolution as the video source. Page 18 724-746-5500 | blackbox.
5.6 Receiver stream settings The receiver must also know where the video stream is coming from, so the transmitter IP address must be entered accordingly. If “Force HDCP” was activated on the transmitter, it must also be activated on the receiver to ensure encryption key exchange. As with the transmitter, the UDP ports for video and audio can also be manually adjusted on the receiver. Here again, the settings must be the same for transmitter and receiver to enable transmission.
5.7 Receiver status reports The example below shows an VX-HDV-IP with activated monitor.
5.8 Receiver video interface test There are three possibilities of resolution to test the quality and the functionality from the video output interface on DVI board. By means of the three pictures the interface test with the receiver is accomplished. 724-746-5500 | blackbox.
5.9 Firmware upgrade 1. Save the “fulmage_V*.img” file in a folder on the computer from where the update is executed 2. Connect to the VX-HDV-IP via web interface 3. Select “Firmware” in the web interface menu 4. Note the current firmware version 5. Select “Search” to get the “fulmage_V*.img” file 6. Click “Upload” 7. An upload progress bar is now displayed 8. After about 4 minutes the firmware is upgraded and ready for rebooting 9.
5.10 Factory default restore Here you can reset the VX-HDV-IP encoder/decoder to factory defaults if required. The network details, names and designations are restored thereby to factory default settings. Pressing the reset button on the front of the device for >5 seconds has the same effect. The factory default settings are as follows: IP address Subnet mask Gateway 192.168.001.200 255.255.255.000 192.168.001.001 Username Password admin admin Host name: rioxo_0 Device caption: e.q.
5.11 Settings Here you can choose German or English as system language, and define or change the user name and password for access authentication. To use the VX-HDV-IP with AMX devices, AMX must be activated. With authentication activated, you can no longer access the device if you forgot your user name or password. To re-enable access, reset the device to factory default by pressing the reset button on the front for at least 5 seconds. Page 24 724-746-5500 | blackbox.
6 USB ports Each VX-HDV-IP device has a USB-A port and USB-B port for future use with KVM. Nowadays the USP ports support only the features for keyboard and mouse. Each VX-HDV-IP unit can be configured as host or as device. You have only to activate the function you want. The USB cable length is max. 3m. If you configure the unit as host, the USB-2 interface will be active and you can connect a keyboard or a mouse to it.
7 Hardware reset instructions On the front of the VX-HDV-IP is a slightly recessed reset button. To reboot the device, press this button for less than five seconds. Pressing it for longer than five seconds resets everything (IP address, user name and password) to factory default! 8 Console ports The console port is exclusively for use by Black Box Technical Support.
