Getting Started
Here’s a brief overview of the steps needed to integrate the IP-HDVR.
Front Panel Setup
Use Front Panel Setup to select output, format, RS-232
parameters, and/or Ethernet settings.
RF Input
• Connect TV Antenna and/or Cable RF feeds.
• TV Guide Setup will determine if tuner will
search for off-air only or cable analog/digital and
off-air digital channels.
• After TV Guide Setup (p10), use Channel Menus
to search, screen, and test broadcast channel
operation.
• Use TV Guide Channel Setup (p19) to filter
channels displayed in the Program Guide.
Cable Box/AV Input Integration
• Connect Cable Box AV output to:
o
AV IN 1 inputs
o
Cable input for AV on channel 2, 3, or 4
• Connect G-Link IR cable to Cable Tuner IR Out
• Attach IR emitter to underside of cable box, IR
emitter below the box’s IR sensor
• TV Guide Setup will link tuner to input and IR
codes for cable box control
• If you are not connecting a cable box, both AV
inputs can be switched through the tuner
AV Outputs
• Connect high-definition display to Component,
RGB, or DVI outputs (Use optional adapter to
connect an HDMI source to the DVI output)
• Connect video display to AV 1 or AV 2 outputs
• The IP-HDVR can switch between HD and video
outputs (no video is present when an HD video
output is selected)
• Connect audio equipment to Optical and/or
analog outputs – AV 1 is fixed, AV 2 is variable
• Audio is always present for all outputs
Control
• Connect Ethernet or RS-232 control cable to
control system
• Use front-panel menus to set IP address or RS-
232 parameters
• The IP-HDVR can also provide pass-through
bidirectional control of a display through the RS-
232 control port when the tuner is integrated via
the Ethernet port
• For IR control, connect external IR sensor or
wired IR system control port to IR IN, discrete IR
codes are available in AMX, Crestron, and Pronto
format
