1. INTRODUCTION

This IP Master Controller is a powerful and flexible solution for controlling
multiple SDVoE (Software Defined Video over Ethernet) based extenders
within same network. The user only needs to install this unit into the same
local network as the extenders (transmitters and receivers) to easily define
and configure channel routing selections (including video, audio, and avariety of control interface types) using the WebGUI. Without the use of thiscentralized control unit, each transmitter and receiver pair would only be able
to function in a point-to-point capacity.
Additionally, this unit supports controlling and configuring the matrix, video
wall, and multiviewer modes of connected SDVoE units. The settings of allconnected transmitter/receiver units, including IP configuration, compatibility
settings, and extender status are clearly displayed within the WebGUI. A
trigger input interface is also provided to allow the easy addition of a remotecontrol keypad, or other trigger-supporting products, which can be installed
within a podium or table in a conference room or classroom. This interface
can allow the user to activate stored macros with the simple press of abutton. Standard control is available via WebGUI (remote or local), RS-232,
Telnet and IR Remote.
