Introduction This section describes: zz About the VN-Matrix 300 zz Functional Overview zz Setup and Configuration zz System Control zz Front Panel Features zz Rear Panel Features About the VN-Matrix 300 The Extron® range of VN-Matrix™ 300 video encoders/decoders (VNC 300 codecs) distribute digital SD and HDTV broadcast quality video across an IP network. The VN-Matrix 300 provides the bridge between digital video devices and IP-based networks.
Signal Compatibility — Video The VN-Matrix 300 is supplied in one of three options, based on the type of digital video transport and video resolutions that it is intended to support. Digital Video Transport Model Number SMPTE424/425M SMPT292 SMPTE 259M VN-Matrix 300 SD Not supported Not supported 525i/59.94 Hz; 625i/50 Hz; VN-Matrix 300 HD Not supported VN-Matrix 300 3G 1080p @50/59.94/60Hz; 10bit, 4:2:2, YCrCb 1080i @50/59.95/60 Hz 1080p @23.97/24/25/29.97/30 Hz 720p @ 23.97/24/25/29.
System Control Integrated Web Management System The VN-Matrix 300 incorporates an integrated web management system (referred to in this manual as the web interface). This allows any VN-Matrix 300 unit on a network to be configured via a Windows®-based PC (on the same network), using a standard web browser (such as Mozilla FireFox® or Internet Explorer®). This interface provides for full control of the VN-Matrix 300 feature set. One VN-Matrix 300 unit in the system is designated as a controller.
VN-Matrix 300 System Overview In this example either of the two encoder streams may be routed to any of the three decoder units. The VN-Matrix 300 labelled IP Rx is the controller for the system.
Multicast RTP This transport method uses a real-time variation of UDP (User Datagram Protocol), called RTP (Real Time Protocol). Multicast RTP allows a source to be displayed on any number of displays.
Unicast RTP Like Multicast RTP, this method uses a real-time variation of UDP protocol, called RTP. This method can be used where the network infrastructure does not support multicast traffic. Typically this should be used as a point-to-point configuration (that is: single source to single display) but it can also be used for up to four displays. RTP Program Data LAN-1 LAN-2 STATUS ALARM Up to four decoders may be part of the UNICAST RTP group.
Unicast TCP This method transports data using standard TCP (Transport Control Protocol) and should only ever be used for single point-to-point transfer of data. Each encoder is ‘paired’ to a decoder with a point to point data link.

Digital Video Connectors The VN-Matrix 300 provides 3 BNC connectors for the connection of digital video sources. The function of the connectors may change dependant on the configuration of the unit (encoder or decoder mode). Connector Mode SDI – IN SDI - OUT SDI - LOOP Encoder (IP TX) Digital Video input This connector provides a loop through of the original source with a text overlay (optional) for identification purposes.
Installation and Basic Setup Procedures This section describes basic installation and setup procedures, including: zz Choosing a Suitable Location zz Environmental Requirements zz Rack Mount Requirements zz Mains Power Connection zz Mains Power Cord zz Accessories zz Setup Procedure zz Network Connections Choosing a Suitable Location The VN-Matrix 300 is designed to be used either as a free-standing unit or to be mounted in a 19-inch equipment rack using the optional kits available.
Temperature DO NOT install or operate the VN-Matrix 300 in an area where the ambient temperature exceeds 35°C (95°F) or falls below 5°C (35°F). Remember that, as with all electronic equipment, the VN-Matrix 300 and its associated PSU also produces heat which may affect the ambient temperature. After the VN-Matrix 300 has been in use for a period of time, the external casing may become slightly warm to the touch. Ensure that any adjacent surfaces will not be affected by the heat.
Mains Power Connection (via PSU) The VN-Matrix 300 must be powered from a 12 Volt DC regulated supply. A suitable mains‑operated power supply unit (PSU) is provided. The mains connection details that follow relate to the PSU. CAUTION: Never connect the VN-Matrix 300 directly to the mains. To ensure CE compliance ALWAYS use the PSU provided. If a backup or replacement PSU is required, always use an Extron approved PSU.
Fitting a Mains Plug If you are fitting a plug to the unterminated power cord (or replacing an existing plug), you must fit a plug that: zz Is rated for use with mains voltage zz Is equipped with a grounding pin/connection zz Complies with any applicable National or Local electrical regulations. zz Is fitted with a correctly rated fuse (applicable to UK-style plugs only, see page 13) WARNING: Never attempt to fit or use a plug without a ground or earth pin/ connection.
Unfused Plugs or Hard-wired If the power cord is fitted with an unfused plug, or is hard-wired into a power strip (mains distribution batten), then the power cord must be protected by an external fuse or circuit breaker of a rating shown in the table below: Supply Voltage 110V nominal 230V nominal Maximum Fuse Rating 10A 10A Minimum Fuse Rating 3A 3A WARNING: Never attempt to fit a fuse or circuit breaker of a higher maximum rating than shown above.

Redundant PSU A 12 way redundant power supply system (VNM12PSR) is available. This is designed to be used for powering multiple VN-Matrix 300 units when they are rack mounted.
Basic Setup Procedure Configuring a VN-Matrix 300 System Setting up and connecting a VN-Matrix 300 system is best undertaken in three stages. zz Stage 1: Network Communications Setup Configure the network settings for each device using a PC and serial data link, ensuring that one device is configured as a controller. zz Stage 2: Connection Connect each device to the network and connect its associated source or display equipment.
zz On the PC run a terminal emulation program such as HyperTerminal, with the following comms settings: Baud rate: 115200 Data bits: 8 Parity: None Stop bits: 1 Flow control: None Low level configuration zz Connect the power to the VN-Matrix 300 (or, if already connected, cycle the power off then on). zz The VN-Matrix 300 will commence sending setup/diagnostic data which should appear in the HyperTerminal window.
Network Port Specific Options Option Function Comment 0 and 10 Network port link speed zz Option 0 allows the speed of the RJ45 network port to be set manually. zz Option 10 reports the speed of the SFP port; this is fixed at 1Gbs 1 and 11 Set STATIC or DHCP Entering 1 (11) will toggle this option. When DHCP is selected items 2 (12) through 5 (15) are not accessible. NOTE: 2 and 12 Set the local address of the Network port It is necessary to assign a known IP address for the controller.
Network Port Specific Options Option Function Comment Unit Specific Options 8 Set the number of the port that is used for communications with the system controller. By default this is set to 5432, this may be changed if required. Note that all VN-Matrix 300 units MUST have the same port number assigned. 18 Set the port number that is used for communication with the server. By default this is set to 80, this may be changed if required. Note that the browser in use must use the same port number.
Video and Audio Data Video and audio data may be transported over either of the NICs on the VN-Matrix 300 unit and are independent of the system control data. NOTE: The browser is accessible via either network port on the unit that is configured as the controller.

Figure 18. Source (Decoder) Configuration and Setup The Device Setup area provides access the following controls and information. zz Mode: � Enable — Normal operation; image transport is enabled. � Disable — Image transport is disabled; the local display will show a blank screen.
Configuration Page — Videoport (Encoder) The encoder Configure page provides: zz Status information for the encoder zz Access to the Bandwidth Management page zz Stream statistics and multicast configuration Figure 19. Configuration Page Encoder Videoport Panel The top panel of the videoport (Encoder) Configure page (see figure 19) provides the following information: zz Name — This may be changed to a User specific value.
Encoder Streams Panel The Streams panel of the Configure page for an encoder provides information on any active streams that are configured on the encoder. zz Stream definition — Provides information on any active streams from the Encoder. � Streams are provisioned at the display (decoder) device. � Once a stream has been provisioned the details will appear in the listing.
Bandwidth Management Page — Videoport (Encoder) Click the Bandwidth tab on the Configure page. The Bandwidth (see figure 20) page opens. Figure 20. Bandwidth Page The Bandwidth page provides for the control of the spatial and temporal compression settings for the encoded source. The available controls are arranged as two main groups: zz Bandwidth Management (Standard control) — Provides a simple interface used to configure a subset of the VN-Matrix 300 compression toolset.
Bandwidth Management — Standard Control Figure 21. Standard Control Area The Standard control area provides a user with a quick configuration method for the VN‑Matrix 300 encoder. Statistics for any active streams currently running from the encoder are provided in the Streams information area. Configuration for the encoder is made via 3 entries: zz Control Mode zz Image Quality zz Bit rate.
Image Quality The Image Quality controls the spatial compression. A setting of 4 provides a visually lossless image. A higher setting results in higher compression whilst a lower setting applies a lower level of compression. Changes made to this setting will result in a corresponding change in the bit rate for the encoded stream. Bit Rate Enter a value up to a maximum of 300 Mbs to set the limit for the aggregate (total) bit rate for all data.
Video Quality Management Spatial Compression settings Figure 23. Spatial Compression Settings The level of spatial compression is set using the Luminance and Chrominance control. These controls are normally locked, with an optimal offset of 2 units between them. A Luminance value of 0 provides the minimum spatial compression; a Luminance value of 10 provides the maximum spatial compression. If required, the Chrominance compression may be set independently by unchecking the Lock box.
Bandwidth Management The Bandwidth management section provides a method to set a maximum bit rate for the encoded stream. It duplicates the Control mode settings already described in the Standard Control area (already described above) but includes two additional modes of control. Figure 24. Bandwidth Management Section Control Mode: Manual Frame drop In this mode, the spatial image quality is held constant.
Configuration Page — Ancport (Encoder) The AncPort configuration is accessed from the icon in the device, configuration page and provides access to settings relating to the Ancillary data that is present in the video transport connection. Primarily, this data relates to the embedded audio. Figure 26. Configuration Page Icons Figure 27. Configuration Page The Name of the stream that is assigned to the ancillary data. NOTE: That this may be different to that of the physical encoder unit itself.
ANC Panel Provides for control and configuration of the ancillary data channels. Selecting the Audio group There are 16 audio channels present in the SDI/HDSDI/3G SDI video transport. These are arranged in 4 groups each of 4 channels. The VN-Matrix 300 units can transport 1 group (4 audio channels). The required audio group is selected here. The groups are presented as channel pairs as described below. zz Channel pair 1: Group 1, channels 1&2 zz Channel pair 2: Group 1, channels 3&4.
By using both FEC methods together, 2 dimensional FEC, the combined effect can protect against more loss permutations than either scheme used in isolation. FEC works by adding additional data to the stream. Using this data it is possible for the decoder to detect and reconstruct any lost packets.
Streams Panel (ANC) The Streams panel of the Configure page for an encoder provides information on any active streams (audio) that are configured on the encoder. zz Stream definition — Provides information on any active streams from the encoder. � Streams are provisioned at the display (decoder) device. � Once a stream has been provisioned the details will appear in the listing.
The format of the FEC stream is set via the appropriate icon (either colefec or rowfec) in the Configure dialog of the Device page. Figure 29. Device Page, Configuration Dialog zz Multicast Enable — Allows the user to select the multicast option. If selected: � The user is prompted to enter a multicast group address in the range 224.nnn.nnn.nnn to 239.nnn.nnn.nnn. � Streams are sent as RTP multicast. � The VN-Matrix 300 supports IGMP V2 for multicast working.

Decoder Videoport Panel The top panel of the videoport (decoder) configuration page provides access to the following features: zz Name — This may be changed to a user specific value. This is the name that is displayed in the device list page. zz Nodata splash — Enables the display of a splash screen when the display device detects a break in the input data stream. When this control is disabled the last decoded frame is displayed. zz Active format — This value reports the currently selected output mode.
Stream Type —_rtp MULTICAST A multicast UDP stream, used for best effort point to multi point delivery. Note that this stream type is only available when a multicast stream has been configured at the corresponding encoder. Decoder — Enabling audio streams Transport of the audio content (the audio stream) associated with the selected video stream may be enabled by selecting the Audio check box under the Audio heading. Use the update button to apply the setting.
Decoder — Bit Rate and Stream Statistics The bit rate and statistics for each of the stream types (video, audio and FEC) may be monitored. NOTE: The bit rate statistic reported here applies to whichever stream type is being monitored. This is different to the bit rate statistics reported by the encoder, which is for the total of all stream types. Select the stream that is to be monitored by selecting the appropriate entry in the bandwidth list. The following example is specific to the video data.
Bit rate and network statistics for the current stream are reported in a tabular form. zz The total column contains counts for the history of the stream. zz The window1 and window2 columns contain counts over user programmable intervals. zz Megabits/sec — The bit rate received from the current data source. NOTE: The reported bit rate is for the video stream only. Statistics are available for Audio and FEC on page 45. zz Packets/sec — The number of data packets per second received from the source.
Data input to the server is sent to all clients simultaneously. Data received at a client is sent to the server. Simultaneous data transfers are processed on a first in first out basis. Any number of pass-through groups may exist on the same network. Communication may only take place between a client and a server; it is not possible to communicate from client to client.
