System Connection

Connection Type

There are three types of possible applications:
Extender (Point-to-Point)
In a point-to-point configuration, there is no need for a switch. Distribute full, uncompressed data up to 1080p@60Hz resolution and RS232, IR control signals over a single Cat-x cable.
Splitter (One-to-Many)
With only one encoder and one Ethernet switch (100Mbps or higher), any A/V signal can be flawlessly and instantly distributed to a near limitless number of decoder and screens, any number of times.
Matrix Switcher (Many-to-One, Many-to-Many)
The combination of switching and splitting enables a completely scalable matrix system. Independently route video, audio and RS232, IR control signal from any source to any endpoint. The IP streaming system allows for on-the-fly upgrading and a virtually unlimited number of I/O ports.

General Information

The IP Streaming Management is a control software used to configure and control signal extension, routing and switching between Encoder and Decoder units.
The IP Streaming Management can be used on any Windows PC using Microsoft .Net framework 4.0 or later Windows version.
Before proceeding ensure that the IP addresses of PC and all units are on the same local area network (LAN).
After install the control software, start the application by double clicking on PT-IP-HD2K.exe file.

Username: admin
Password: admin

Upon launch, the IP Streaming Management main window will open up in the “Video Switching” tab as shown in the picture below:
After starting the IP Streaming Management application, it will show discovered devices as tiles. There are few things to take note of:

  • The application has many different tabs for controlling the HDMI routing, as well as routing of other signals such as analog audio, RS232 control, etc. The default current tab should be "Video Switching", which means the video source displayed by an RX device (Decoder).
  • The top area of the user interface is labeled "Decoder (RX)". All RX devices detected on the network will be displayed here.
  • The bottom area of the user interface is labeled “Encoder (TX)". All TX devices detected on the network will be displayed here.

All connected TX and RX devices on the network will appear as a gray tile within the application window.
Each tile will identify the “Hostname” of the device. The “Hostname” can be updated at any time by “Network Setting” interface. The “IP Address” of the device is also shown in the tile.
If a source device is connected to the video port of the TX, a picture illustrating a source device will appear within the respective tile along with information about the video feed. Similarly, if a display device is connected to the RX, an illustration of a display will appear within the corresponding RX tile. If no device is visible within the tile, it means that the device is connected and detected but no source (or display) device is connected to the TX (RX).
