4K Over IP Channel Controller

The 4K Over IP Channel Controller software allows you to change channels on your receivers through
any device that is connected to your network. The following steps show you how to use the channel
controller software.

1.

Go to

quickinstallnow.com

and download the 4K Over IP Channel Controller software.

2.

Open the pvicontroller.ini file in a basic text editor. (Notepad or Wordpad for example)

3.

Edit the receiver names

NOTE: All the spaces must be the same. For example, if changing the name for 192.168.0.151
you would enter in that line

192.168.0.151 = Living Room 1

Do Not Forget the spaces here between the ( = ) sign.
