Step by Step Installation Instructions:
Step 1:
Plug in the 18VDC, 2.75 Amp power supply included with the AV Bridge package. The front panel LCD
display will illuminate blue when the power is applied. The menu is now active and ready for configuration.
Step 2:
Connect the Video Content Source(s) to the AV Bridge for USB 2.0 Streaming. More than one source
can be attached and selected from the front panel menu. In this case a ProductionVIEW HD with HD-19AW
Cameras is connected to the HD-YPbPr input.
Step 3:
Connect the Audio Content Source(s) to the AV Bridge. In this case, a mixer and really good mics are
connected using the balanced audio inputs.
Step 4:
Connect the Host PC to the AV Bridge with the provided USB2.0 Type-A Male to Type-B Male cable.
Step 5
(Optional): Connect the AV Bridge to the LAN which will allow set-up, configuration and control of the AV
Bridge via the internal web pages inside AV Bridge from any of the approved browsers.
Step 6
: From the front panel Menu System (Large Knob, Select and Cancel button), in this example, select the
balanced audio input, and select HD-YPbPr video input that are to be streamed. Select the streaming option,
right now it is USB 2.0 only. Future Releases will allow RTSP or HLS (Apple’s variant on HTTP streaming) of
H.264 and AAC compressed video and audio.
Note:
The AV Bridge will use DHCP (by default) to obtain an IP address when connected to the LAN. The
IP address will be viewable on the front panel menu. In absence of a DHCP server, the AV Bridge will
default to a Static IP address which is 169.254.1.1
