vDisplay HDI-Pro IP Engine User Guide
Initial Setup
You need a PC or laptop, with version 1.3.3 (or later) of the Pleora eBUS SDK (with the included
GEVPlayer sample application) to configure the vDisplay IP engine and other GigE Vision devices during
initial setup. After the initial setup, the vDisplay IP engine settings can be stored in persistent memory
and the devices can then operate in the system without further configuration. It is important to ensure
that the vDisplay IP engine is connected to the same subnet as the network card of the PC used to
configure the vDisplay IP engine.
By default, the vDisplay IP engine is configured to automatically acquire an IP address using the Dynamic
Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) and Link Local Addresses (LLA), provided that no persistent IP
address has been previously assigned to the vDisplay IP engine. This allows you to immediately connect
to the vDisplay IP engine at first-time deployment, and provide the vDisplay IP engine with a persistent
IP address (if required).
The vDisplay IP engine can connect to video sources over direct point-to-point GigE links, or the
vDisplay IP engine can be part of a packet-switched GigE local area network, supporting both unicast
and mulitcast configurations.
