Overview of the Web-based User Interface

The web-based user interface is an application that is used to configure the devices in a VN-Matrix network. It is accessed by using a web browser and entering in the IP address of the controller device. The user interface allows for system level configuration and can be used with any VN-Matrix device that is connected to the controller device. The following list outlines the configuration options that are available.

zz Configure all VN-Matrix devices that are connected to the controller device.

zz Switch all VN-Matrix 200 / 225 / 300 / 325 codec devices from encoders to decoders and vice versa.

zz Configure the type of compression that is applied to a stream.

zz Choose the appropriate transport protocol that will be used between an encoder and a decoder.

zz Configure the specific types of elements that are distributed over a PURE3 stream.
