Configure the Units as Encoders or Decoders

A typical VN-Matrix 325 network (see figure 17) includes an encoder (source), a decoder (display), and a controlling PC. The data transport method, TCP or RTP, is defined on the decoder configuration page. Multicasting is selected on the encoder configuration page (see “Enable multicast streaming“ to select the multicast and “Data Transport Methods“ for definitions of the methods).

Figure 17. Typical VN-Matrix 325 System

The Mode column on the Device List page (see figure 18) shows how each VNC 325 unit is configured using the following icons:

= Encoder = Decoder = VNM Recorder = Undefined

NOTE: If this is the initial setup, none of the devices have been defined and thus show the icon in the Mode column.

Figure 18. Selecting a Device

NOTES: The VNM Recorder is not documented in this guide. Inclusion in this list is for

completeness and reference only.

Only devices that are or have been configured to connect to the system controller (using the procedure detailed in “Configuring Network Settings“) are listed.

The device list may show more devices than are in your system. This is because the controller maintains a list of devices that have been used in the past and are not currently available. In this case, the IP address entry for that device is blank.

If desired, remove devices that have been physically removed from the system from this listing by clicking the Delete icon ().
