Configuring Unicast Mode
The term unicast is used to describe a conî‚¿guration where information is sent from one
point to another point. It is possible to have multiple Sender and Receiver units connected
in a system. However, in unicast mode a Sender unit can communicate with only one
Receiver unit at a time. In unicast mode, the HD over IP w/ RS-232 and 2-way IR functions
similar to an HDMI switcher.
The illustration, below, shows 3 Sender units (S1, S2, and S3) and 2 Receiver units
(R1 and R2) on a network, operating in unicast mode. The video channels are notated
in blue. The red lines represent the video signal.
Figure 2.4 - Unicast mode: A Sender unit can communicate with only one Receiver
unit at a time.
1. Access the Web interface by entering the IP address of the Sender or Receiver unit
in a Web browser. Refer to Displaying the IP Address (page 30), if necessary.
In this example, we will start with Receiver unit R1.
2. Log in as Administrator.
3. Click the Network tab.
Tip
In unicast mode, the HD over IP w/ RS-232 and 2-way IR functions as a
Switcher.
