The
Video Dragon
has an Ethernet and a USB interface, alternatively
used for the control. Addressing for several connected devices is
effected as follows:
In the case the
Ethernet
interface (3) is used, the device can be
addressed by the
Default IP Address
192.168.1.62
,
Port 5134
). If you want to operate two or more devices in
the same network, then their IP Addresses have to be changed. For
this, connect always one device to the
Video Dragon
and change the
corresponding IP Address.
Generally, there are two ways for this:
HardwareExplorer: Select the
Video Dragon
device,
under
Device
set the required
IP Address
;
the new
IP Address
is active after restart
G API command
G_Common_Ethernet_IpAddress_Set
;
the new
IP Address
is active after restart
This procedure is required for all devices. Please do not forget to write
down the new IP Addresses and the belonging Serial numbers.
Only when all devices have different IP Addresses, you can operate
them jointly in the same network.
Addressing via
USB
(4) is effected exclusively via the serial numbers:
The device with the LEAST serial number is always the device with
the number
1
(that means,
DeviceNumber
=
1
.)
For configuration and control, a PC or laptop can be connected to the
Video Dragon
by a standard network cable (CAT-5e or better) via the
RJ45 socket
LAN
The
Video Dragon
is compatible to networks of type
10/100/1000Base-T,
and it supports the IEEE 802.3, 802.3u and 802.3ab standards.
For configuration and control, a PC or laptop can be connected to the
Video Dragon
also via USB.
For this, a cable with USB B plug has to be connected to the
USB
socket (4).
You may use a USB2.0 cable as well as a USB3.0 cable, as both
Standards are fully supported.
To be able to output/ record audio data received or transmitted by the
Media Interface Module
via an external audio sink (for example a sound
system) plug a coaxial cable with cinch plug to the
S/PDIF Out
audio
output (5).
The cable should have an impedance of 75 Ohms. It can be connected
to any digital audio input (
S/PDIF
).
