Important Safety Instructions

Please read the supplied safety instruction document before using the product, and keep it

available for future reference.

Introduction

WP-VINX-110P-HDMI-ENC encoder is a multimedia extender to extend HDMI video from a

local source to a remote sink. The devices can be connected either via a direct CATx cable

connection or through a Gigabit Ethernet Switch (L3-switch is necessary) in between. The

maximum delivery distance can reach up to 100 m with minimal latency and employ a quality,

proprietary wavelet-transform-based image compression.

The device can also be powered

over Ethernet (PoE). As a wall plate, it saves space and blends in more, while still enabling easy

signal transmission.

Optionally, USB signal transmission is also available.

Compatible Devices

The WP-VINX-110P-HDMI-ENC is compatible with all previous VINX devices

(VINX-120-HDMI-ENC and VINX-110-HDMI-DEC (basic VINX) devices and the VINX AP-

series).

Mounting Steps

Thanks to the design of Lightware devices, WP-VINX-110P-HDMI-ENC wall

plate encoder can be mounted easily into an industrial standard box as the

gures to the right show. B225R switch/outlet box is not supplied with the

product, it can be purchased separately.

1Insert the extender into the B225R outlet box and position it

to get the holes aligned.

2Fasten the front side of the extender to the B225R outlet

box by tting the four at-headed mounting screws.

3Place the cover on the front side of the extender and

position it to get the holes aligned.

4Fasten the cover to the front side of the extender by tting

the four round-headed xing screws.

How to Connect to a VINX Device to Control?

When the VINX device and a control device (PC, laptop, mobile device) are connected to the

same network, the VINX can be congured via a web browser (Google Chrome and Mozilla

Firefox are recommended) or by running Lightware Device Controller (LDC).

Step 1 – Make the VINX and the control devices meet

The following cases may occur in case of a factory default device:

a. There is a DHCP server in the network: the VINX device got an IP address from the

DHCP server. Make sure the control PC is connected to the same network.

b. There is no DHCP server in the network: the VINX device generates an IP address

in the 169.254.x.x range (AutoIP). Set the IP address of the control PC to match with

this range (with subnet mask 255.255.0.0).

Step 2 – Establish the connection

Connect to the VINX via any of the following ways:

a. Connecting via the Lightware Device Controller Software

Download the software from www.lightware.com, install and launch

it. The Device Discovery screen will appear and list all the available

devices.

b. Connecting via the Built-in Web Page

If you do not have the chance to install a software or you would access

the built-in webpage from a mobile device, type the IP address of the

desired device to the address line of the browser.

Video Wall Layout Examples

The following examples show how the VINX devices can be arranged into video wall applications.

See more details in the User’s Manual available at www.lightware.com.

Multicast Mode with Video Wall Two Video Walls and Local Monitors with One Encoder

Features of the system:

• Displaying one of the two video signals on the video wall and on a sink.

• Displaying the other video signal on a sink.

• The other video signal can be displayed on the video wall by using software tools (built-

in web or LW3 protocol commands).

Features of the system:

• One Encoder is enough to supply the Decoders.

• Displaying one video signal on two different video walls (e.g. in different rooms).

• Displaying the video signal on 1-1 single sinks.

 Installation Checkpoints

The following help to have a successful install: check the settings listed below.

Network and Switch-related Settings

{Check the settings as described in the Preparing the Network section.

Connecting the Devices

{Use CAT7 SFTP AWG23 cables; the maximum allowed cable length is 100m.

{Supply the devices by local adaptors or by PoE; the feature is enabled on the RJ45 ports

by default.

Powering Options

{Power on the devices as the nal step of the cabling:

1. Power on the L3 switch rst. Wait a few minutes for the device be ready.

2. Power on the VINX devices.

Port Settings

{Check if the desired input port is selected to transmit.

{Make sure that each Encoder has a unique video stream ID. Set the same ID in the

desired Decoders and Encoder.

{Pair the devices via the built-in website or via LDC and dene the Video Wall.

{Select the desired Decoder for USB transmission (see the Device Concept section).

EDID

{Universal EDID is emulated on the input ports which supports many common resolutions.

If necessary, emulate a specic resolution by selecting a factory pre-programmed EDID.

Preparing the Network – The Requirements of the Switch

The recommended type of network device: 1GbE network with Layer 2.5 or 3 switch, Gigabit

Ethernet. In TCP/IP terminology, Layer 2 is the data link layer that is responsible for splitting

up the information coming from higher layers in the TCP/IP stack into Ethernet frames. An

Ethernet frame contains labeling information with source and destination physical addresses

(called source and destination MAC address). These physical addresses uniquely identify the

source and destination physical devices (e.g. a VINX encoder and a VINX decoder). Ethernet

frames provide error resilience by incorporating a redundancy check eld through which

transmission errors can easily be detected. The device that only uses the physical address

information found in the Ethernet frame to root the packet from one of its input ports to one or

more of it output ports is an unmanaged switch.

A managed switch, on the other hand, can handle the trafc and forward input packets to

output packets by utilizing information from higher layers. This gives the managed switch more

exibility and also allows for more sophisticated functions like multicast forwarding. Since even

a simple VINX network, where one VINX encoder supplies more VINX decoders, relies on

multicasting, a multicast capable switch (i.e. a managed one) is a must. The managed switch

shall offer the following capabilities:

IGMPv2

IGMP snooping, IGMP fast leave, IGMP querier

Multicast ltering

Jumbo frames

For more information about the requirements and technologies, please see the Application Note

on our website.

If You do not Know the IP Address



When a monitor/projector is connected to a Decoder, the IP address will be displayed in

the splash screen.

Find the MAC address of the desired device (located on the top of the extender) and launch

the web browser:

a. In case of a Decoder, type the following in the address line:

http://LWR-clientAABBCCDDEEFF.local

b. In case of an Encoder, Type the following in the address line:

http://LWR-gatewayAABBCCDDEEFF.local

AABBCCDDEEFF is the MAC address of the device (without hyphens) – which can

be seen on the housing of the extender.

Further Steps

When the connection is established to an Encoder, all the Decoders – with the same stream

ID – will be visible in the Main Settings page. Set and apply the desired network parameters

in the Advanced Settings page, then reboot the device.



LDC and the Built-in web page shows the same content and features, the only difference

is the rmware upgrade, which is not available in the LDC.
