Introduction
The VINX `AP-series' is the second generation of the VINX family. These products extend the features of the first generation with the following functions: VGA input port, Analog audio (de) embedding and transmission over SFP modules. The devices can also be powered over Ethernet (PoE). The built-in audio de-embedding feature allows the HDMI audio to be transmitted as a 2-channel Dante® or AES67 source from the DNT model via the extra RJ45 connector.
Compatible Devices The VINX AP-series devices are compatible with the VINX-120-HDMI-ENC and VINX-110-HDMI-DEC (basic VINX) devices. Please note that certain features are not available when mixing VINX-AP and basic VINX devices:

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 configured 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 in any of the following ways:
a. Connecting by 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 into the address line of the browser.

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 field, 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 traffic and forward input packets to output packets by utilizing information from higher layers. This gives the managed switch more flexibility 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 filtering 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 into the address line: http://LWR-clientAABBCCDDEEFF.local
b. In case of an Encoder, Type the following into 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 firmware upgrade, which is not available in the LDC.

First of all, please set the parameters of the L3 Switch to meet the requirements; see the list in the `Preparing the Network' section.

CATx Connect CATx cables between the Extender devices and the L3 Switch.

HDMI VGA RS-232 USB
Audio Power CATx

Connect an HDMI source device (e.g. a laptop) to the HDMI input port of the Encoder. Connect HDMI sink devices to the HDMI output port of the Decoder devices. Connect a VGA source device (e.g. a computer) to the VGA input port of the Encoder.
Optionally for RS-232 serial transmission: connect the desired devices (e.g. a Touch Control, Relay Box) to the RS-232 ports by the supplied serial cables.
Optionally for USB extension: connect USB devices to the USB ports of the Decoders. Connect the desired host device (e.g. Computer) to the Encoder via the USB mini-B type port. Please pay attention to the indicated port types (USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 support). Optionally for Audio extension: connect an audio amplifier to the Analog audio output port of the Decoder.
Connect the power cord of the supplied adaptor to the DC input first, then to the AC power socket. Connect a control PC to the L3 switch for fine tuning the VINX devices.

* The indicated return audio is available only if the Analog audio input is selected in the Encoder to transmit towards the Decoder. Thus, the other analog audio signal (MIC IN) connected to the Decoder can be routed back to the Audio output of the Encoder.
** In this case, the analog audio signal can be selected in the Encoder to be embedded in the video stream in the Decoder. The USB, Serial and IR data transmission works independently of the video signal presence.
Video Transmission Quality When the network bandwidth is not enough to transmit the video signal, the following modes are available in the Encoder:
Movie mode (Lower image quality @ Less bandwidth): The image quality is adjusted to the available bandwidth. If the bandwidth is decreased, the image quality will be lower, but the video streaming will be continuous.
Graphics mode (Best image quality @ High bandwidth): The image quality is kept at a high level. If the bandwidth is decreased, the image quality does not change, but frame dropping may appear.
The setting takes effect when the available bandwidth is less than required.

Arranging the Extenders to Groups
Encoder and Decoder devices have to be assigned to each other in order to transfer the desired video and control signals in any of the following ways:
1. HW setting: use the DIP switch at the front panel to set the Video stream ID: set the DIP switch states to the same value on the desired devices. If you set a DIP switch on a device, the other devices can be configured via the web page. Please note that the value of DIP switch assigned Video Stream ID can range from 1 to 15 inclusive.
2. SW setting: set the Video stream ID via the built-in web page. Connect to the device as described in the Software Control section. The Video Stream ID shall be between 1 and 9999 inclusive. In this case make sure that the DIP switches of the affected devices are set to `0000'.
Video Stream ID Rules The following rules are defined to avoid Video Stream ID conflicts:
When the DIP switch is in `0000' position, the SW setting will be valid. When the DIP switch is not in `0000' position, the HW setting will be valid. When the DIP switch is set back to `0000', the SW setting will inherit the ID (the previous
DIP switch value). SW setting and HW setting can be combined within the group, but in this case, the DIP
switch value will determine the common Video Stream ID.
The DIP switch state can be ignored by an LW3 command, see the User's Manual.

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 final step of the cabling:
1. Power on the L3 switch first. 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 by LDC and define the Video Wall. { Select the desired Decoder for USB transmission (see the Device Concept section).
EDID { Universal EDID is emulated on the input ports that supports many common resolutions.
If necessary, emulate a specific resolution by selecting a factory pre-programmed EDID.
