VN-Matrix 200 • Setup Guide, cont’d
Configure the VN-Matrix 200 Units as Encoders or Decoders
The Mode column on the Device List tab shows how each VN-Matrix 200 unit is configured using the following icons:
= Encoder = Decoder = Recorder or a playback device = Undefined
NOTE: The VN-Matrix Recorder is not documented here. 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 previously, but may not be currently available. In this case, the IP address entry for that device is blank.
Configure the device as an encoder or decoder as follows:
1. In the device list double-click any of the list entries for a device to be configured. The following web page is displayed.
2. In the Device Setup box a shown above, click the create source b button to configure the device as an encoder or click the create display configuration details.
c button to configure the device as a decoder. See “Device Setup” on the Help tab for more
3. After configuring the device, set the Mode to enable d and save the configuration by selecting the Save All tab e .
4. From the Display page of the decoder select an encoder source device. See the illustraion on the right.
Local Monitor and Display Messages z z “No Source Present” — An encoder message indicating that either no source device is connected or it is not compatible with the VN-Matrix 200.
z z “No Source Datastream” — A decoder message indicating that either no encoder is selected or the chosen encoder is not streaming.
Front Panel LED indicators z z The top power LED lights green when the unit receives power; it flashes green when an over temperature, overload, or underload condition occurs. Cycle the power on and off to reset the unit.

STATUS z z LAN-1 and LAN-2 LEDs indicate the status of the indicated network ports. They light or flash orange to indicate that data is being transmitted or received; an unlit state indicates no network or data activity. z z The Status LED lights green when source data is present but not being streamed (unit disabled or in standby mode); it flashes green when the source data is being streamed and received; an unlit state indicates that source data is neither detected nor received.

VN-Matrix 200 ™ • Setup Guide
The Extron ® VN-Matrix 200 Series provides real-time transmission of high resolution audio visual content across standard IP networks for live viewing, collaboration, storage, and playback.
The VN-Matrix 200 Series encodes video or graphics sources at resolutions up to HD or
WUXGA, streams the video and audio over an IP network, then decodes the content back to the original source resolution. VN-Matrix applies the Extron
PURE3 ™ Codec, a unique wavelet-based compression technology. The
VN-Matrix 200 Series offers real-time streaming and low latency, making it ideal for remote collaborative and interactive or control applications. It can be deployed in live event streaming and high level conferencing for specialized projects.
NOTE: For full installation, configuration, and operation details, refer to the VN-Matrix 200 User Guide, available at www.extron.com
.
Before You Connect to a Network
Before connecting each VN-Matrix to a network you must change its default network settings. On an existing network, check with the network administrator for a range of suitable IP addresses.
On a closed network, used exclusively by VN-Matrix, we recommend that you use addresses in the range 192.168.0.1 to
192.168.0.254 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. The following diagram shows an example addressing scheme for a simple system comprising four VN-Matrix units:

VN-Matrix Controller
One VN-Matrix device in a group must be designated as the “controller.” All system configuration is achieved via a web interface that is served up by the controller. In the above example, the unit at address 192.168.0.101 is designated the controller for this group of VN-Matrix devices. Note that the controller IP value on each device is set to this address.
Setup Procedure
Follow the step-by-step instructions in the “ refer to the user guide.
Initial Setup ” section for each VN-Matrix, then follow the “ Operation ” section instructions to create a simple VN-Matrix system. For more detailed information and advanced setup procedures

Operation
Once all VN-Matrix 200 devices have been correctly set up, any further system configuration and operation is via the
VN-Matrix 200 network interface. Built-in HTML pages provide access to various system parameters. The VN-Matrix 200 device that you designated as the controller in the “Before you Connect to a Network” procedure functions as the network server. The HTML pages can be viewed by any web browser, such as Mozilla ® Firefox ® , ver. 1.3 or newer (preferred), or
Microsoft® Internet Explorer ® , ver. 6.0 or newer.
NOTE: Whichever browser you use, it must be configured to accept cookies and be Javascript-enabled.
Start up and Login
1. Connect a computer through the network to the VN-Matrix 200 device that is configured as the controller.
2. Enter the IP address of the VN-Matrix 200 unit that is configured as the controller into the address bar of the web browser.
3. Press the keyboard <Enter> key. The login screen appears.
4. Enter the username and password.
NOTE: The VN-Matrix 200 devices have two user accounts (usernames):
• admin — which allows full read/write access to all setup parameters,
• public — which allows read-only access to setup parameters.
As shipped from the factory, the password for both accounts is the same as the user name (the password is
“admin” for the admin user account and “public” for the public account).
• The username and password are case sensitive.
• For the intial setup, use the admin username.

= Encoder = Decoder = Recorder or a playback device = Undefined
NOTE: The VN-Matrix Recorder is not documented here. 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 previously, but may not be currently available. In this case, the IP address entry for that device is blank.
Configure the device as an encoder or decoder as follows:
1. In the device list double-click any of the list entries for a device to be configured. The following web page is displayed.
2. In the Device Setup box a shown above, click the create source b button to configure the device as an encoder or click the create display configuration details.
c button to configure the device as a decoder. See “Device Setup” on the Help tab for more
3. After configuring the device, set the Mode to enable d and save the configuration by selecting the Save All tab e .

VN-Matrix 200 ™ • Setup Guide
The Extron ® VN-Matrix 200 Series provides real-time transmission of high resolution audio visual content across standard IP networks for live viewing, collaboration, storage, and playback.
The VN-Matrix 200 Series encodes video or graphics sources at resolutions up to HD or
WUXGA, streams the video and audio over an IP network, then decodes the content back to the original source resolution. VN-Matrix applies the Extron
PURE3 ™ Codec, a unique wavelet-based compression technology. The
VN-Matrix 200 Series offers real-time streaming and low latency, making it ideal for remote collaborative and interactive or control applications. It can be deployed in live event streaming and high level conferencing for specialized projects.
NOTE: For full installation, configuration, and operation details, refer to the VN-Matrix 200 User Guide, available at www.extron.com
.
Before You Connect to a Network
Before connecting each VN-Matrix to a network you must change its default network settings. On an existing network, check with the network administrator for a range of suitable IP addresses.
On a closed network, used exclusively by VN-Matrix, we recommend that you use addresses in the range 192.168.0.1 to
192.168.0.254 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. The following diagram shows an example addressing scheme for a simple system comprising four VN-Matrix units:

VN-Matrix Controller
One VN-Matrix device in a group must be designated as the “controller.” All system configuration is achieved via a web interface that is served up by the controller. In the above example, the unit at address 192.168.0.101 is designated the controller for this group of VN-Matrix devices. Note that the controller IP value on each device is set to this address.
Setup Procedure
Follow the step-by-step instructions in the “ refer to the user guide.
