Introduction
1.1. Overview
The SCT-IPE5100 series encoders are designed to work with SCT-IPD5100 series decoders for UHD media up to 3840 x 2160@60Hz 4:4:4 to be switched and distributed over standard Gigabit Ethernet networks, providing complete end-to-end streaming systems, where audio, video together with USB signals can be routed separately or as a whole. Equipped with Dante technology, they realize perfect interconnectivity and interoperability with Dante audio systems.
Dual Ethernet ports are equipped. HDCP 2.2/2.3 specifications are employed. A local area network is covered with a range up to 330ft (100m) over a single Cat 5e cable or above.

| 2 | RESET Recessed Button | ● Short press (for not more than 1 second) then release to reboot the device. ● Press and hold for at least five seconds then release to reset the device to its factory default values. Note: When the settings are restored, your custom data is lost. Therefore, exercise caution when using the RESET button. |
| 3 | LAN1 (POE+) | By default, each of the LAN1 (POE+) and LAN 2 ports can be connected to an Ethernet switch for transmission of A/V streams, Dante audio streams and control data. For LAN1 (POE+): ● Supports PoE+. For LAN2: ● When LAN2 is configured as an independent Dante port**, it is for transmission of Dante audio streams, and LAN1 (POE) is for transmission of A/V streams and control data. Note: **This configuration can be implemented through the IP controller (SCT-IPCX). For more information, refer to the controller’s Web UI configuration guide. IMPORTANT: To prevent network loop, do not connect both ports to the same network. Ensure that each port is connected to a separate and distinct network. |

| 8 | HDMI OUT | 19-Pin HDMI Type-A connector. Connect to an HDMI display. |
| 9 | AUDIO IN/OUT | 5-Pin 3.5mm phoenix connector for balanced analog audio input or output. This port can be configured as AUDIO IN or AUDIO OUT through API commands. ● AUDIO IN: Connect to an audio source for audio input. ● AUDIO OUT: Connect to an audio receiver for audio output. Default setting: AUDIO OUT |
Installation
Note: Before installation, ensure the device is disconnected from the power source.
Steps to install the device on a suitable location:
- Attach the mounting brackets to the panels of both sides using the screws (two on each side) provided in the package.
- Install the brackets on the position as desired using screws (not included).
Typical Applications
3.1. Application 1
3.2. Application 2
3.3. Application 3 
In this application, LAN1 (POE+) port is for transmission of A/V streams and control data; LAN2 is for transmission of Dante audio streams which is routed to a standalone network. Two Ethernet ports are connected to different networks.
Hardware Installation
Note: If the Ethernet switch doesn’t support PoE, connect encoders and decoders to their power adapters.
IP Address Identification
Default IP setting for the device is DHCP. Ensure there’s a DHCP server in the network so that the device can obtain a valid IP address when you deploy the system. If DHCP server is not available, e.g. the device is connected to a laptop directly, the device gets a default IP address in the range of 169.254.X.Y. The allocated IP address can be identified through OSD or API Commands.
Input Switching Mode
The device provides three modes for input switching between USB-C IN and HDMI IN: Auto, Manual and Priority.
- Auto
(1) In Auto mode, the input switching follows “Last In First Out” rule, i.e. the device always switches to the later input source and outputs it.
When the selected video source is removed, the device will switch to another source automatically.
(2) If each input port is connected to a video source, power on the device, the device will select the video source according to the priority order (USB-C IN > HDMI IN).
For example, if a USB-C source is connected to USB-C IN, it will be selected as the input source; if not, the device will switch to the HDMI source. - Manual
In Manual mode, the device switches to the specified video source directly.
If the specified source is invalid (e.g. in standby state), the device doesn’t output signal. - Priority
In Priority mode, when each input port is connected to a video source, power on the device, the source with higher priority will be selected as input source. When the selected video source is removed, the device will switch to another video source automatically.
The priority for the two input ports can be defined through API commands.
Note:
- By default, the input switching mode is set as Auto.
- The input switching mode can be configured through API commands; for more information refer to the separate API document.
Control of Devices
The device can be controlled and configured by the IP controller, including routing of audio, video and USB signals, configurations of audio & video parameters, Dante features, firmware upgrade, etc. For more information, refer to the web configuration guide of the IP controller.
