VN-Matrix

250 • Setup Guide

The Extron VN-Matrix (VNM) 250 Series consists of the VNE 250 encoder and

the VND250 decoder. They integrate into VN-Matrix systems to provide real-time

transmission of high resolution AV content across standard IP networks. The VNE250

encodes video or graphics sources at resolutions up to HD or 2K (2048x1080) using

the Extron PURE3™ Codec, a unique wavelet-based compression technology.

The VND250 decodes the content back to the original source resolution or a user

selected resolution. The VNM 250 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 250 User Guide, at www.extron.com.

Before You Connect to a Network

Before connecting each VN-Matrix to a network, congure the network settings. On an existing network, check with the network

administrator for a range of suitable IP addresses.

VN-Matrix Controller

One VN-Matrix device in the system must be designated the controller. For large systems (ten or more devices) this must be a

VNM Enterprise Controller. For smaller systems (up to ten devices), the controller may be a VNM 250 device (either an encoder or

decoder). All system conguration is achieved via a web interface that is served up by the device acting as system controller.

Setup Procedure

Follow the instructions in the Connections and Initial Conguration sections for each individual VN-Matrix device, then follow the

Operation section instructions to create a VN-Matrix system. See the VN-Matrix 250 User Guide for more detailed information.

Connections 1. Connect a power supply to the VNM 250 devices (rear panel diagrams, a). 2. Connect the Streaming Network ports (LAN 2) of all the devices to the network (c or d). NOTE: 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. For normal operation, the Control Network port (LAN 1) (b) is not required. Make the video connections: a. Connect an HDMI source to the HDMI input port (g) or an analog source to the analog input port (k) of the VNE 250.

5. Edit the options as required: a. At the Please select an option: prompt, enter the number of the option you wish to edit and press . b. Enter the value for the new setting and press . NOTES: For normal operation, the Control Network port is not required. Options 1 - 3 do not need to be configured. 6. Follow the instructions in step 5 to set option 11 to static (type static and press ). 7. Follow the instructions in step 5 to assign values to options 8, 12, 13, and 14.

Correctly configured devices are listed in the device list page (see page 3). If devices are not listed as expected, check that the IP address of the controller is configured (option 8 in Initial Configuration). 3. Click on any unit in the Device List to open the Device tab for that unit. From the Device tab for an encoder, you can configure the input video, audio, and data stream. From the Device tab for a decoder, you can configure the output video.
