These network protocols should be familiar to any network engineer. Because our Networked AV solutions bridge the gap
between the audio-visual (AV) and information technology (IT) worlds, SVSi suggests involvement of both AV and IT
departments in any installation.
SVSi products are designed to be plug-and-play. The following diagram illustrates the basic installation of one encoder and
one decoder. A video source provides the digital video content to the encoder which converts to Ethernet packets and
sends to the attached decoder. The decoder reconstitutes the video with synchronized audio for presentation to the
attached display. If high-fidelity video and audio are playing on the display in this simple configuration, the SVSi hardware is
operating successfully.
The same system can be connected through a network as shown below.
If the same decoder when connected through a network to the same encoder does not deliver high-fidelity video, a network
problem exists. In most cases, the device IP addresses are incompatible with the existing network configuration. Contact
your network administrator to determine network properties and configuration.
More elaborate video networks can be constructed as illustrated below.
Once configured using N-Able software, devices will remember their respective settings and will no longer be plug-and-
play.
