Installing and Configuring Your AV Equipment

Control Options
For the most part, once the initial setup is complete, you will be primarily managing/configuring the Decoders. To better
understand, think of Encoders as radio stations and Decoders as car radios. The Encoders are supplying the streams and, using the
Decoders, you can “tune in” to the stream you want. N-Series’s N-Control solutions (N-Command, N-Act, and N-Touch) provide you
with the most flexible management options available, insuring you are getting the most from your digital media system.
Primary Control Options
During initial configuration and setup, the free N-Able setup utility (version 2016.11.11 or higher) is sufficient. However, we do not
recommend N-Able for production-level, primary-user control.
N-Command Controllers
These web-based hardware Controllers offer intuitive, powerful management of equipment, content, NVR recording/playback,
bandwidth utilization, and AV switching (using a web-based, point-and-click graphical matrix). The N-Command product line also
offers:
Simplified ASCII interface for third-party control via TCP/IP.
N8002 and N8012 controllers have master/
client
failover protection.
N8012 controller has hot-swappable drives and redundant power supplies.
Graphical presentation of video network connections.
Full configuration control: assign fixed IP addresses for each N-Series component, adjust variable bit-rate for each video
stream, etc.
Additional software bundles (free with N-Command) allow you to easily create attractive touch panels for N-Series and
third-party equipment control, as well as build software design walls of any size. Visit our website for more details on the
available N-Command Controllers.
Third-Party Controllers
The N2300 Series is capable of interfacing with third-party control systems such as Crestron. For direct control of N2300 units
from any Third Party Control system, please use the Direct Control API (available on our website).
N-Act | On-Board, Built-In Control
All N-Series Encoders and Decoders have on-board, built-in control capability via events that can trigger any number of TCP/UDP
for more information.
N-Touch | IP Wall Controller
This 240 x 320 capacitive touch display has Wi-Fi and Bluetooth for expanding control to mobile devices. Programming is done
individually through the built-in web server or collectively to multiple units using an N-Command N8000 Series Controller. Multi-
page custom graphics can be created using the free Panel Builder software (stored internally).
NetLinx
NetLinx Studio is commonly used by system programmers to streamline the integration, programming, organization, and support
of their AMX equipment. As the cornerstone of AMX's system design software tools, NetLinx Studio offers programmers the most
flexible application capable of generating the most sophisticated code possible. Refer to
for
