IP Mini-Converters JPEG 2000 IP Video/Audio Converters v1.0 10 www.aja.com
• Illuminated amber when in the process of locking (PCR has been received, but
Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) and/or genlock are not yet locked).
• Illuminated green when the PLL and genlock are both locked.
NOTE: Achieving locked status may take 5 or more minutes depending on network jitter
behavior. The output of the unit will still function during the locking period.
The Control LAN and Media LAN LEDs illuminate to indicate a link. Blinking
indicates activity. Yellow and Green indicate a 10Mbps connection. Green only
indicates a 100Mbps connection. Yellow only indicates a 1000Mbps connection.
Installation Overview
Detailed instructions are provided in
"Chapter 2 – eMini-Setup" on page 12
and
"Chapter 3 – IP Mini-Converter Web Interface" on page 20
As an overview,
however, IP Mini-Converters installation typically consists of the following steps:
1. Apply power to the unit.
2. Determine the unit's IP address (DHCP), or initially configure its network
settings using eMini-Setup and a USB connection. This allows you to then
access the unit’s user interface through a web browser.
3. Close the eMini-Setup application, and disconnect the USB cable.
4. Connect the unit to your Ethernet network. Use the Control LAN to make
configuration changes. Use the Media LAN for the incoming (for IPR-1G) or
outgoing (for IPT-1G) video signal over IP stream.
5. Launch a web browser and access the IP Mini-Converters using its IP
address. Continue device configuration as needed from the web interface.
6. Connect the IP Mini-Converters output.
7. Configure the IP Mini-Converters basic operation.
The current IP Mini-Converters configuration settings are retained, even when
powered off, so subsequent installations for an identical decoding or encoding
session can be done with the following simple steps:
1. Apply power to the IP Mini-Converters.
2. Connect the unit to your network using the Control LAN and Media LAN
and connect the unit’s output.
NOTE: Two LAN connections to the unit are not necessarily required on an ongoing basis.
If it is desirable for your installation, after the
IP Mini-Converters
is set up, you
can access all control parameters through the Media LAN with the appropriate
network configuration. See
"Networking Option – Using Only the Media LAN Port
for Control and Media Settings" on page 20
for more information.
NOTE: The IP Mini-Converters pack an unprecedented feature set into mini converter
boxes. As a result, the units use approximately 12 watts of power. They will be very
warm to the touch, which is normal. The units are engineered to operate across
the full temperature range, from 0 to 40 degrees C.
NOTE: For highest reliability, the mini converters rely on convection cooling instead
of using a built-in fan. Therefore, when installing the units, mount in a
location where they have access to air for proper cooling. Do not stack the
IP Mini-Converters with other mini converters.
