1. Introduction

WyreStorm

®

NetworkHD™ 200 is our flagship H.264 HD over IP distribution platform. With its simple system configuration and powerful video wall functionality it is the best all round solution for commercial AV installs. Enabling the distribution of multiple video formats over a dedicated IP network switch for commercial AV applications.

NetworkHD™ 200 series facilitates the transmission of an HDMI, DVI, Component & VGA signals (including Full HD 1080p video with

2.1 audio) to any number of HDMI displays over standard Ethernet (Cat5e/6) infrastructure. The NHD-200-RX enables the display of a single image on a display whilst the NHD-210-RX decoder adds video wall playback to the system.

The modular system architecture of NetworkHD™ 200 removes the limitations of a traditional fixed platform I/O matrix system without compromising quality or reliability, whilst offering significant cost savings when designing large scale installations. Adding encoders and decoders as required enables the system to grow with the needs of the application.

NetworkHD™ 200 uses multiple technologies to automatically configure and discover system components, making setup a breeze.

Functioning on 10/100 or Gigabit Layer2 SMART switches, NetworkHD™ 200 does not require advanced integrator network experience to install, nor does it require complicated VLAN configurations or PC software, making it one of the simplest HD over IP systems available. Configuring network switches takes minutes through your browser and even the largest distributions can be quickly and easily configured and expanded.

The NHD-000-CTL controller creates a simple, single interface to configure, manage and control the entire NetworkHD™ 200 system, whilst also capable of fully integrating with leading control brands including WyreStorm Enado

TM

for the highest quality total HD distribution and control solution over a network.

5. Before Installation

Introduction

This guide is intended for installation project managers to ensure you are aware of WyreStorm’s installation best practice guidelines that we know will improve the installation experience. These issues have been gathered from thousands of installation reports, support calls and our own personal experiences to prevent issues that cost hours in troubleshooting and protracted site visits to fix.

Preparation

Build and test the rack and all hardware components off site. Doing so will find any issues before moving to the hectic and time sensitive environment of the install itself. Knowing that a unit was working properly before makes it far easier to pinpoint the cause of the problem saving time and money.

Network Equipment & Switches

NetworkHD™ can be operated with recommended Layer 2 Gigabit Smart Switches provided the overall switching capacity or backplane capacity of the switch meets the requirements of the number of encoders/decoders you have on your network.

WyreStorm NetworkHD is built to run over a standard network infrastructure, however the quality of this infrastructure is critical. We have tested many brands of switches all of which perform well in small system configurations of around 10 Encoders and Decoders.

However, for larger installations, WyreStorm highly recommends using CISCO SG500 or CATALYST series switches.

NetworkHD requires a Layer 2 managed switch with support for Multicast & IGMP snooping enabled. Do not connect any encoders to the switch until this has been configured. For recommended switches and PDF configuration guides please see the ‘downloads’ section of any NetworkHD device at wyrestorm.com.

It is not necessary to change the IP addresses of the TX and RX units – AutoIP is used to configure correct IP addresses. DHCP or

Static IP addresses are not recommended unless absolutely required. Failure to note or errors in the IP settings of a unit may result in a complicated reset procedure.

Most NetworkHD installations use POE (Power Over Ethernet) to power the RX & TX units. NetworkHD 100 & 200 components are

Class 0 rated POE devices meaning that they can require up to 15.4W of power each, however their real power draw is between 5-7W.

In order to calculate the number of devices that can be used on a switch please divide the total POE power capability of the switch by 15.4 and round down. For Example the CISCO SG300-52P with a POE power output of 375W: 375 / 15.4 = 24.35. Therefore 24 devices can be powered by this switch.

In order to have all ports powered by POE on a switch an MP series should be used in this example an SG300-52MP which provides

740W. 740 / 15.4 = 48. Therefore 48 devices can be powered by this switch.

Each NHD-100-TX encoder will produce up to 50Mb/s of data > therefore 10 x encoders will require 10 x 50Mb/s = 0.5 Gbps.

!

If you are unsure about the network requirements for your NetworkHD™ system please contact WyreStorm or your local WyreStorm distribution partner for support. WyreStorm are not liable if network bandwidth is to blame for poor performance from the NetworkHD™ system.

NetworkHD™ does not require multiple VLANs to be configured. Third-party controllers communicate directly with the NHD-000-CTL rather than the Ethernet switch.

Visit wyrestorm.com for guides on detailed switch configuration and recommended switch suggestions for different sized

NetworkHD™ systems.

Power

Your installation is nothing without power. Use a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) to ensure a clean, consistent power supply to all components in the rack. Be sure to calculate your total load and run time requirements ahead and leave enough room in the rack.

Heat

High temperatures are the biggest killer of electronic products. Just a 3° Celsius rise in external temperature can equate to a 15° degree rise in internal temperature and trigger thermal runaway. Ensure proper rack design and passive or active cooling strategies are used to properly move heat away from the components in the rack. Poor installation of cables looks messy and creates hotspots that prevent heat moving away from components – avoid this at all costs.


5

The NHD-IP-RACK & NHD-000-RACK have been designed for optimal mounting of the NetworkHD Encoders in the rack and should always be used. Encoders and decoders should never be laid flat or stacked on top of each other. At least 1.5 inches of clearance should be left by the vents to ensure adequate airflow through the units.

Software

Where possible WyreStorm ship all components with the most up to date firmware and software, however before starting any installation please check the downloads section of the products on WyreStorm.com to ensure there are no updates to your system components. Please also try to use the latest firmware on all related hardware – particularly switches and TVs. Please check with the relevant manufacturer for upgrade instructions.

Redundancy

With all the planning in the world, even the most experienced installers make mistakes and accidents will always happen. For this reason, it is best practice to always run two cables to each Decoder location. This may increase the cost of cabling but is nothing compared to replacing a single or even multiple defective cables that have been sealed into the wall.

Although WyreStorm are incredibly proud of the reliability and robustness of our products from time to time units can fail. Therefore, mission critical products such as the CTL and Decoders in hard or impossible to access locations should be installed with spare, redundant units that can be swapped to if required.

Mounting/Installation

All WyreStorm products should be mounted so that the logo and text printed on the unit is correctly aligned. This will allow for the optimal airflow through the product. As already stated the vents should not be obstructed with adequate clearance. Units should be secured using suitable fixings such as those supplied in the box.

Source & Display settings

WyreStorm NetworkHD components use the highest quality encoders available to provide visually lossless compression over a large number of displays. However, the compression can only be as good as the source content that is put in. NetworkHD 100/200 series use H.264 compression that is not compatible with interlaced sources. Please ensure that all source content is set to Progressive scan

(720p/1080p) and not interlaced (1080i).

On the displays and sources – low power modes should be disabled to ensure the system is always fed with content. The customer does not want to be troubleshooting if the source has gone into standby.

The displays should have CEC enabled so that NetworkHD can power them on and off. This setting is called different things by different manufacturers and is not always enabled by default. Any screens that are used in video walls must also have Over Scan disabled. This setting is always enabled by default and often hidden in advanced settings menus. Without it disabled the video wall will not align.

Testing & Certification

WyreStorm products are manufactured and testing to the highest standards but the best installation environment is paramount to successful installation. The only way to guarantee the installation is fit for purpose is to test and certify cables. All IT cable companies will certify cables throughout a network as standard, yet they are passing a fraction of the data in short bursts that NetworkHD transmits 24/7. Although testing a cable proves that it is correctly terminated, it does not show how much interference on the run is affecting bandwidth. Certification of every cable should always be performed before and after walls are sealed.

Cable Type & 4K support

WyreStorm are always striving to improve our technologies and although your system is the best available today – what lies ahead is not always clear. All you can do is prepare your installation as best you can for future technologies. Running extra cables to all display locations to provide extra bandwidth for future technologies. Ensuring source components are located next to transmitters with HDMI cables that are as short as possible as HDMI distances will reduce as content bandwidth increases. Use trunking so that cables can be easily replaced down the line. Never seal HDMI cables in the wall as they cannot be re-terminated or replaced easily.

!

Ensure good quality cabling is used throughout your system, with no electrical interference, bends, twists, kinks, or other issues that may interfere with signal transmission, including the use of patch panels or wall outlets. Cable connectors should also be in good condition and correctly terminated to required standards, with straight cable runs used where possible and plugs securely connected to ports without straining port enclosures.

The presence of any of these factors in your system can jeopardize successful signal distribution and should be eliminated wherever possible.

10. Switch Settings & Requirements

Network Equipment & Switches

NetworkHD™ can be operated with recommended Layer 2 Gigabit Smart Switches provided the overall switching capacity or backplane capacity of the switch meets the requirements of the number of encoders/decoders you have on your network.

WyreStorm NetworkHD is built to run over a standard network infrastructure, however the quality of this infrastructure is critical. We have tested many brands of switches all of which perform well in small system configurations of around 10 Encoders and Decoders.

However, for larger installations, WyreStorm highly recommends using CISCO SG500 or CATALYST series switches.

NetworkHD requires a Layer 2 managed switch with support for Multicast & IGMP snooping enabled. Do not connect any encoders to the switch until this has been configured. For recommended switches and PDF configuration guides please see the ‘downloads’ section of any NetworkHD device at wyrestorm.com.

It is not necessary to change the IP addresses of the TX and RX units – AutoIP is used to configure correct IP addresses. DHCP or

Static IP addresses are not recommended unless absolutely required. Failure to note or errors in the IP settings of a unit may result in a complicated reset procedure.

Most NetworkHD installations use POE (Power Over Ethernet) to power the RX & TX units. NetworkHD 100 & 200 components are

Class 0 rated POE devices meaning that they can require up to 15.4W of power each, however their real power draw is between 5-7W.

In order to calculate the number of devices that can be used on a switch please divide the total POE power capability of the switch by 15.4 and round down. For Example the CISCO SG300-52P with a POE power output of 375W: 375 / 15.4 = 24.35. Therefore 24 devices can be powered by this switch.

In order to have all ports powered by POE on a switch an MP series should be used in this example an SG300-52MP which provides

740W. 740 / 15.4 = 48. Therefore 48 devices can be powered by this switch.

Each NHD-100-TX encoder will produce up to 50Mb/s of data > therefore 10 x encoders will require 10 x 50Mb/s = 0.5 Gbps.

!

If you are unsure about the network requirements for your NetworkHD™ system please contact WyreStorm or your local WyreStorm distribution partner for support.

WyreStorm are not liable if network bandwidth is to blame for poor performance from the NetworkHD™ system.

NetworkHD™ does not require multiple VLANs to be configured. Third-party controllers communicate directly with the NHD-000-CTL rather than the Ethernet switch.

Visit wyrestorm.com for guides on detailed switch configuration and recommended switch suggestions for different sized

NetworkHD™ systems.

Description

Constant Bit Rate - Best used in systems where bandwidth is limited and must match exactly the calculated amount.

Variable Bit Rate - Best used for optimal quality/bandwidth usage trade off

Fixed Quantization Parameter - QP is an index used to derive a scaling matrix.

Quantization in an H.264 encoder is controlled by a quantization parameter, QP, that ranges from 0 to 51.

The bitrate that the encoder will inject into the network

The H.264 standard defines a sets of capabilities, which are referred to as profiles, targeting specific classes of applications.

Primarily for applications that require low latency and additional data loss robustness, this profile is most suited for use in video conferencing applications.

This profile is best used where a compromise between latency and quality is required.

This profile is useful particularly for high-definition/high quality applications where latency is not a concern.

The GOP is a group of successive pictures within a coded video stream. From the pictures contained in it, the visible frames are generated. The higher the value the higher the image quality.

The FPS rating is used to set the frequency at which the encode captures the video stream. The higher the value the higher the image motion quality.

RAW transmits the H.264 bit stream without any container information. TS wraps the bit stream in an MPEG2 container. There is no difference in quality between the two settings.

Alias

!

Changing the IP address of TX/RX devices requires a restart for the settings to take affect. Please use the reboot button at the bottom of TX/RX Settings page

14. NetworkHD™ Control Protocol

The Telnet protocol can be used to send configuration settings, matrix switching and video wall commands to the NetworkHD™ system.

Commands can only be issued to the NHD-000-CTL by IP using port 23.

The default IP address of the NHD-000-CTL is 192.168.11.243 – in default configuration commands should be sent to this IP address.

Matrix Switching Control

Command matrix set TX1 RX1 RX2, TX2 RX3 RX4,...

Return

matrix set: TX1 RX1 RX2, TX2 RX3 RX4,...

Note

Route one or Multiple TX on one or Multiple RX. Each individual TX and its routed RX or RX’s compose a record, and should be separated by a commas. Use NULL after a TX and any RX units from this TX will disconnect. Matrix commands cannot be sent when an RX is in video wall mode, first remove the RX from the video wall or use the vw change command

E.g.: “matrix set Source1 Screen1 Screen2” sends TX with alias Source1 to RX’s with alias’ Screen1 &

Screen2

Command matrix get

Return

the connected TX/RX information with below format matrix information:

TX1 RX1

TX2 RX3

TX2 RX4

....

Note

Obtain matrix information. Based on current TX/RX in the network, re-construct the network topology and feedback to the third-party controller.

Return

videowall vw-name layout n m tx rx11 rx12 rx13 rx1m rx21 ... rxnm

Note

Add a video wall layout n rows and m columns, subsequently the RX are automatically assigned positions in the video wall in order. The Parameter RX could be a ‘0’, indicating there is no change to the corresponding

RX.

E.g.: “vw add wall1 layout 2 2 Source1 Screen1 Screen2 Screen3 Screen4” Note this is a faster way to configure a video wall as it does not require a vw add command previously but is not as flexible as the previous command.

Command vw change rx tx

Return

videowall config change: rxhostname moved from vw-name and connect to txhostname

Note

Set RX to full-screen display of TX. Used for matrix switching in configurations that use video wall mode or to remove an individual RX from the video wall and display a different or identical TX.

E.g.: “vw change Screen1 Source4”

28


Command vw change vw-name tx-name

Return

videowall vw-name tx connect to txhostname

Note

Set all RX in the video wall to display another TX.

E.g.: “vw change wall1 input1

Command vw bezelgap vw-name ow oh vw vh

Return

videowall vw-name’s bezelgap: xx xx xx xx

Note

Set the size of TV frame (video edge) to correct for large bezel screens. units are in mm (0.1cm). ow & oh = overall width & height of display including the bezel, vw & vh = screen width and height.

E.g.: “vw bezelgap wall1 16100 9100 16000 9000”

Command vw pictureparam vw-name h-shift v-shift h-scale v-scale tearing-delay rx1 rx2 rx3 ...

Return

set videowall vw-name’s pictureparam: xx xx xx xx xx to rx1 rx2 rx3 ...

Note

Configure the rx1/rx2/rx3 ... image shift. 1 unit = 8 pixels, a negative number indicates to move left or up).

Scale units = 1 Row or Columns / tearing delay units: μs, values between 10000~16000). If a parameter is 0 it will not be changed.

E.g.: “vw pictureparam wall1 2 1 3 3 12500 Screen3 Screen4” will shift the image on screen 3 and 4 16 pixels down, 8 pixels right, whilst over-scaling by 3 rows and 3 columns and setting the tearing delay to 12500

μs.

Command vw get

Return

video wall information: vw-name1 TX1 row-number1 RX11 RX12.. row-number2 RX21RX22 …

...

vw-name2 TX2 row-number1 RX11 RX12…

...

Note

Obtain video wall information and feedback video wall configurations.

Serial

Pass-through the serial commands.

Command serial -b param -r {on|off} -h {on|off} “command-string” hostname1 hostname2 ...

Note

Turn on the display which is connected to the RX device. The display must support CEC control.

E.g.: “config set device cec onetouchplay Screen1””

15. Troubleshooting

1) If NetworkHD™ Software Console cannot find any devices on the network - If following the network settings advice in sections

10 through 14 above does not yield any devices, check your Windows Firewall settings. Using Windows 7 as an example (Other versions of

Windows may differ):

• Click Start menu, go to Control Panel > System and Security > Windows Firewall > Allowed Programs, highlight

NetworkHDconsole.exe, check Home/Work (Private) and Public.

• Check the IP address and subnet mask of the PC. The network segment for IP address is 169.254.x.x and the subnet mask is

255.255.0.0, the PC and encoder/decoder should be in the same network segment. (See section 11.)

• Check the settings of the switch match those in the Switch Configuration Guides available from wyrestorm.com

• Ensure that the Bonjour SDK software has been installed on the machine you are using - the installer is available in the NetworkHD™ software console installation file.

2) If you are unable to access the web management UI

• Check the IP address of your computer. The default IP address of the IP Control Box is 192.168.11.243, so the IP address of the computer should be 192.168.11.xxx.

• Check the Web browser. We recommend you use Firefox, Opera, Safari Internet Explorer 11 or Chrome. If the problem persists, try to upgrade you browser to the latest version.

• Perform a reset on the NHD-000-CTL by holding down the reset button on the front of the device.

3) If no devices appear in the Matrix or TX/RX Settings page…

• Ensure the devices are powered up and connected to the same network

• Ensure that the network settings in the router are correct for those set in the RX/TX units

• Refresh the browser

• Reboot all system components including the NHD-000-CTL

• Perform a reset on the NHD-000-CTL by holding down the reset button on the front of the device

30


4) If you cannot set a device Alias…

A device may have previously been connected to the NHD-000-CTL with that Alias.

You will need to factory reset the CTL for it to lose that alias, be aware of alias conflicts if that other device is still connected but powered down.

5) If the decoder device continuously reboots…

The decoder is set to DHCP but it cannot find a DHCP server. You must connect the unit to a DHCP server so that it can finishing initialising.

You will then be able to change the IP settings.

6) If you are unable to connect to the web interface of the NHD-000-CTL:

• Ensure that the Ethernet switch is configured as per the switch configuration guides at wyrestorm.com

(You may need to disconnect all encoder devices from the switch in order to regain network connection.)

• Ensure that you computer IP address is in the same subnet as the NHD-000-CTL (by default 192.168.11.xxx)

7) If you do not see an image on the display:

• Screen message shows “waiting for Encoders” or “waiting for video source” - the encoders is offline or the source has turned off/ entered standby. Check TX or source device is powered and switched on

• Screen is completely blank - check display is on and correct input is selected, ensure the RX is powered and the lights are stable on the front. Replace the HDMI cable for a cable tested fully working

• Only part of the Image is displayed - the device is in “video wall mode”. Send a command to exit the device from video.

Note: be aware of alias conflicts if devices are still connected but powered down.

8) If the IP address settings of the NHD-200-TX & RX devices are not taking please reboot them after making the settings.

9) If the video or audio is distorted please reboot both the source device and the encoders.
