Firmware Revisions
IP-Logic units are shipped with the latest release of Firmware and Software. If new
firmware/software releases become available, Essentials will automatically download the latest
revisions from the Zigen servers.
After the Essentials download of firmware/software, the end-user will be prompted to update
the IP-Logic devices.
Note: For automatic downloads to work, Essentials must be connected to the facility network
with Internet access.
Video Source and Display Settings
IP-Logic systems support interconnection with the most popular sources and displays in the
market. Audio/Video quality of encoding, and decoding begins with properly configured sources
and displays. Below are recommended guidelines to guarantee the reproduction of the best
picture and audio quality:
•
Most displays feature Overscan or other custom aspect ratio settings. These settings
must be disabled if using the displays in a Videowall. Follow the display’s
manual to turn
off these features.
•
Confirm that the source video resolution and frame rate are compatible with the display.
The operator may have to enable scaling on the RX or configure the source device to
output a compatible resolution for the display. EDID management could be employed to
inform the source of a list of suitable resolutions for a specific display.
•
Turn off all Low Power or ECO settings of the sources and displays to ensure the media
content is being displayed. If no video or audio is present, it does not necessarily indicate
a component failure and could be easily remedied by disabling the ECO settings of all
devices.
•
Enable CEC control for all displays and sources to allow IP-Logic components to control
these devices. A specific manufacturer may have a unique name for this function (ie:
“Simplink” ™, “AnyNet” ™) so please refer to the display’s manual for more information.
The Essentials device will allow CEC management to send custom commands to a displays
and sources.
Control Signals
The IP-Logic infrastructure support control signals such as RS-232, IR, USB, CEC, and Ethernet.
These signals can be routed and switched from one IP-Logic endpoint to another IP-Logic
endpoint. Refer to Appendix for a compatibility list of control signals.
