Installation: HVE-6601T Transmitter (Video Wall) 1. 2. 3. 4. DC5V: Connect it to the external AC adapter which plugs into an electrical outlet. Or via 802.3af PoE PSE to GIGA LAN port. GIGA LAN: Connect directly to a Receiver or to a GIGA(1000Mbps) Ethernet Switch using CAT5e/6 cable. HDMI IN: Connect to an HDMI source device with an HDMI M-M cable. Use an HDMI --> DVI adapter if the source is DVI. RS232: Used Y Cable to separate S0(RS232 port) and S1(Debug console port) for Video Wall system solutions.
6. 7. 8. source is removed. DATA LED On: All the connections are working. PB : change Link / Unlink; Engineering Mode and Reset to default using this button. Please to see the Push Button Descriptions. GROUP ID: Set up the Transmitter’s group ID by adjusting the 4-pin DIP switch, ON means “1”, OFF means “0”, there are 16 groups available to set up. Multicast IP Address 255.0.0.XXX & 255.0.1.XXX, the XXX are resolved by the 4-pin DIP Switch on the Transmitter.
1. 2. 3. 4. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. HVE-6601 Receiver (Video Wall) DC5V: Connect to the supplied AC adapter and plug into an electrical outlet. GIGA LAN: Connect directly to a Transmitter or to a GIGA(1000Mbps) Ethernet Switch using CAT6 cable. HDMI OUT: Connect to an HDMI display device with an HDMI M-M cable. Use an HDMI --> DVI adapter if the display is DVI. RS232: Connect to the RS232 port of the device you want to configure. In Video Wall system solutions it will not be used.
Transmitter & Receiver IP Address The default setting is for “auto ip” mode and uses the 169.254.xxx.xxx private IP domain range. The IP of target TX/RX board is resolved by its hostname using DNS protocol. The RX’s HDMI GUI will display the RX’s IP address and the connected TX’s IP address. You can see the RX’s HDMI GUI by connecting it with power adapter and HDMI monitor only, without LAN cable.

During multicast setup, there maybe monitor/TV that has lower resolution. For example, 1 monitor/TV with 720p resolution with mostly 1080p solutions. Please select the monitor/TV with lowest resolution, to ensure all can be displayed correctly. For customer that are using 1 pair of Host/Client with Multicast mode, the end user must update EDID correctly. If not, it will cause many compatibility issue.
Following is the system setup figure for 3x3 video wall. Note: ● If you use single Ethernet switch, the switch must support and enable IGMP snooping. And separate each row to different multicast group by using different 4-bits DIP switch number. Please visit Figure 2.
● ● ● ● ● 4bits DIP switch can all be 0000 or any number when each row is in different LAN (Ethernet switch) (Best fit in daisy-chain design) Please use Y cable of package provide to chain all hosts together through S0, S1 port. The chaining sequence is important and is shown in the Figure. S1 is the debug console port. S0 is the serial port originally used for RS232 over IP. Remember to connect the last host back to the first host. An video splitter is needed to split video source and feed to all hosts.
Installation Procedure (3x3) Using Web UI: 1. Prepare host(HVE-6601T) x 3 and client x 9(HVE-6601R). 2. Follow Figure 1 to construct the whole system. 3. Reboot all devices. Ensure that all remote displays and all network cables are connected correctly. (Video source is required at this step) 4. If the control PC (Windows OS) doesn’t install bonjour SDK yet, please install it. Google “bonjour SDK download” for the installation file or download it here: http://developer.apple.com/opensource/ . 5.
8. Once user complete the 3 steps of “Basic Setup”, a basic video wall configuration is done. Step 1: Choose Wall Size. a. b. c. d. Step 2: Setup Column Position for Each Display. a. b. Set “Vertical Monitor Count” to 3. Set “Horizontal Monitor Count” to 3. Press “Apply” button. User will notice that all screens will refresh. If any row doesn’t response, check the connection of RS232 chain and retry. A OSD of a screen will shows up. User now starts to assign the column position of each client.
i. This step is used to configure the bezel and gap compensation. If user don’t need this, just set all values to 0. ii. Follow the picture and input the size of the monitor used. Note that is unit is 0.1mm and the value MUST be integer. 12. Basic setup is completed.
Web UI Advanced Setup Explanation: The “Advanced Setup” in web UI is used to do special effects which is not included in “Basic Setup”. For most of cases, “Advanced Setup” is never used. User can choose one or more targets to apply the changes to from Step 1. After the targets are selected, changes can be applied in Step 2.
