Step 7 — Assign VN-Matrix 200 / 225 / 300 / 325
Devices as Encoders and Decoders
a. Click the Devices tab. The Devices page appears (if login is
required, follow steps 5b through 5d).
b. Select a device from the Devices page. A device is selected
when the row is highlighted and the box next to the device is
checked (see figure 7).
c. Select Mode from the menu at the bottom of the page.
d. Determine the functionality of the device and choose the
Encoder or Decoder option as appropriate.
NOTE: Choosing a mode or toggling a device between an encoder and a decoder may take a few seconds after the
selection has been made.
e. Repeat this procedure for other devices as necessary.
Conguration of the VN-Matrix Devices
Once the VN-Matrix 200 / 225 / 300 / 325 devices have been assigned as encoders and decoders, no further configuration is
required. However, the devices on a VN-Matrix network can be further configured using the VNM Enterprise Controller
web-based user interface.
The following sections summarize how to configure devices using the VNM Enterprise Controller. For detailed information
on device configuration, click on the question mark icon (see figure 8) located on each of the menu pop-up pages or see the
VNM Enterprise Controller User Guide and the VN-Matrix 200 / 225 / 300 / 325 user guides.
Encoder Conguration
1. Click the Devices tab. The Devices page appears (if login is required, follow steps 5b through 5d).
2. Select an encoder from the Devices page. At the bottom of the page, several menus are available (see figure 9).
3. Select the following menus and configure the settings as necessary to allow for optimal encoder streaming.
z Configure — Sets global parameters specific to selected VN-Matrix units. Use this window to change the device
name and configure the operating mode of the device.
z Format — Use this window to view information about the incoming source, make adjustments to the signal, and
set EDID options.
z Compression — Use this window to adjust the amount of compression that is applied to the stream.
4. Repeat this procedure for other encoders as necessary.
Decoder Conguration
1. Click the Devices tab. The Devices page appears (if login is required, follow steps 5b through 5d).
2. Select a decoder from the Devices page. At the bottom of the page, several menus are available
(see figure 9; the Compression menu is not available when configuring decoders).
