RTI | Miravue VIP-1 Manual
The Miravue VIP-1 provides AV distribution over wired and wireless Ethernet networking in the connected home
or office. The VIP-1 encodes H.264 video up to its highest supported resolution (1080p) along with audio (Dolby
5.1). The result is a high quality video output signal with low network bandwidth requirements. For the ultimate
in flexibility, the VIP-1 can be installed as a transmitter or receiver, and acts as an extension of the RTI control
system, delivering IR and RS-232 control to devices.
Miravue VIP-1 Features:
•
Miravue VIP-1 can be installed as a transmitter or a receiver.*
•
Supports video distribution via wired and wireless Ethernet.*
•
Supports HDMI/HDCP 1.x and 2.x video sources and displays (H.264).
•
Integrates network video streams (e.g., IP Cameras).
•
Built-in scaler matches the display’s maximum resolution.
•
Forwards IR and RS-232 commands from an RTI control system.
•
Automatically provides stereo downmix with lipsync adjust for distributed audio systems.
Best Performance Recommendations
•
It is critical that the networking equipment and “transmit mode” (unicast/multicast) are selected
properly or network performance will be negatively affected.
•
Systems requiring more than 6 VIP-1’s should use a managed network switch.
•
Each video stream occupies 15Mb of bandwidth. The total bandwidth depends on the number of video
sources and transmit mode (unicast/multicast) that is used.
•
The VIP-1 should be installed as a video transmitter or a receiver. NOTE: While the VIP-1 may be
installed as a transceiver (simultaneously transmitting and receiving video), this implementation should
be tested with the video devices and network equipment that will be used.
•
Video distribution via wireless Ethernet should utilize a separate wireless network. Also, due to
bandwidth requirements, limit the number of VIP-1’s to 1-2 set to Unicast mode.
•
Due to an HDCP limitation, there is a maximum of 32 video connections (simultaneous views) to a
video source encrypted with HDCP.
AUDIO/VIDEO INFORMATION
Video Resolution and Audio Support
The Miravue VIP-1 transceiver encodes H.264 up to its highest supported resolution and audio (i.e., 1080p and
Dolby 5.1). If the end display cannot support the video resolution or audio format, the stream is downscaled or
downmixed accordingly. The VIP-1 does not support 4k.
Audio Extraction
Audio from the stereo-out port on the VIP-1 can be used with a centralized audio system (e.g., a whole-home
audio). If the video source is distributed (i.e., not centralized), the audio from the stereo-out port on the VIP-1
