FAQs

It is recommended to use the switch which supports Gigabit PoE and IGMP snooping function (V2 is fine).

The default IP address of IHD-210PT and IHD-210PR is B class networking:168.254.xxx.xxx. Please set up the IP address of the connected PC as the static IP, such as 169.254.xxx.xxx and the sub mask as 255.255.0.0.

Please refer to the steps below:

1. Please connect an HDMI monitor to IHD-210PR
   
2. Power on IHD-210PT and IHD-210PR by the same PoE switch; IHD-210PT and IHD-210PR will connect to each other by default setting.

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. A Tx (transmitter) supports DIP switch for 64 channels, and every time when you convert the source you have to switch DIP of all units to the same number.

2. To set VLAN to convert the video source, please refer to the topology below and imagine that the concept is based on your issue.

You can set up port-based VLAN for the transmitter (IHD-210PT), and then for the receiver (IHD-210PR). 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.

Instructions about the topology above:

As for Test A

, we set port1 and port3 to a VLAN, and set port2 and port4 to another VLAN. The Rx will convert the source if we change the connection of Rx and switch from port3 to port4.

As for Test B

, we set port1 and port3 to a VLAN, and the Rx will convert the source if we issue the command via telnet to set port2 and port3 to a VLAN.

3. You also could use HDMI splitter (matrix) for converting the sources.

As you see, two sources are connected to the input of HDMI matrix and output to Tx, and then Tx and Rx are all connected to the switch. In this case, we use the HDMI matrix controller to select the source.

1. Make sure the device cables are correctly and firmly attached.
   
2. Set your display device’s (TV, monitor, etc.) input source as HDMI.
   
3. Check the PC BIOS configuration about the video output setting.
   
4. Connect HDMI monitor to the Tx's HDMI output port to check if the video signal gets through.
   
5. Slide the DIP switch to the correct position.

Please check the following:

1. The PC installed IPTV Control Center is not in the same LAN as IHD-210PT or IHD-210PR.
   
2. The IP address of PC might be in a different subnet from Tx/Rx. Please set the PC’s IP address to the same subnet as Tx/Rx.

By default, the Video Mode is selected.

Graphic Mode: It’s usually for the static state video. Pictures are the main display contents, and the pixel update processing is not so fast. The CPU consumption is lower than video mode.

Video Mode: It’s usually for the dynamic state video. Videos are the main display contents, and the pixel update processing is fast. The CPU consumption is higher than graphic mode.
