Topology and Hardware Installation
Installing and configuring your VigorSwitch V1281 should be very straightforward if you plan
carefully and are clear about your network/AV topology.
Before starting, ensure that you know how many
sources
(Satellite Receivers, Blu-Ray, DVD,
STB etc.) you will have and how many
outputs
(screens/projectors) you’ll be feeding to.
You will need an HDMI-to-IP sender for each source and a receiver for each output (see
previous section).
In the example below, a pub has with three source devices on the left and four output
screens on the right:
For this example, you would need three HDMI-over-IP senders and four receivers. Any port
on the V1281 can be defined as one of three modes (source, output or LAN) so it doesn’t
matter which port you select for your sources or outputs. Later, when you configure the
V1281, you will allocate each port’s function.
Coloured cables are used only for illustration –
Red
are our
sources
,
Green
our
outputs
and
the
Purple
cables are LAN (networking connections) for PCs, routers, uplinks, wireless bases
etc. Remember, any port can be set to any of those functions but we’ve grouped them in
this photograph because it’s simpler (and looks pretty). Also, you won’t necessarily have
4+4+3 – you can have any combination.
