HDMI / Video Wall over IP with PoE IHD-200PT / IHD-200PR Appendix FAQ Q1: Where is the Bonjour Browser.exe utility? A: Basically, there are so many third - party search tools can be used, as long as you can find the IP of the unit. If you want to use Bonjour Browser.exe please e-mail to us and we will provide it to you. Q2: What kind of switch should user use for this product? A: We strongly advise user to use the switch which supports IGMP snooping function (V2 is fine), Gigabit Ethernet.
HDMI / Video Wall over IP with PoE IHD-200PT / IHD-200PR Q4: Should user use the security DC adapter connector? A: No, the normal DC adapter connector is fine, please refer to the photo below. Both of the two connectors can be plugged in, but the left one can be tightened. Q5: How can I convert the video source? A: There are three ways to convert the video source. One is to use DIP switch, while the other is to set VLAN port and go with HDMI splitter (matrix). 1.
HDMI / Video Wall over IP with PoE IHD-200PT / IHD-200PR and imagine that the concept is based on your issue. You can set up port-based VLAN for that Transmitter (IHD-200PT), and then for the receiver (IHD-200PR), You can just dynamically swap the receiver port to a different VLAN for video source change. You can swap VLAN via Web interface of the switch, say, WGSW-24040. However, to be faster and easier to swap the sources, you can consider using TELNET or RS232 Console via CLI (command line).
HDMI / Video Wall over IP with PoE IHD-200PT / IHD-200PR 3. You also could use HDMI splitter (matrix) to do the sources convert. As you see, two sources connect to the input of HDMI matrix, and output to Tx, and then Tx and Rx all connect to the switch. In this case, we use the HDMI matrix controller to select the source, of which one should be transmitted. Q6: Users encounter no screen display in computer connection. A: 1. Make sure the device cables are correctly and firmly attached. 2.
HDMI / Video Wall over IP with PoE IHD-200PT / IHD-200PR A: Point-to-point and multi-cast is 100 meters. But if the connection via switches, theoretically, there is no limit distance. It depends on the cable and switch level you use. (Giga Ethernet switch is recommended or higher level.) Q9: What’s the maximum of Rx units can be linked via one Tx unit? A: Video Wall: 8 x 8. Video Extender: Theoretically, 1000 are the most, as long as each Rx unit is assigned to an IP from 65534 IP.
HDMI / Video Wall over IP with PoE IHD-200PT / IHD-200PR Q15: What is the function of the screw hole over the HDMI port? A: Please refer to the following picture.
