Allonis has partnered with HDTVSupply in supporting their HDBaseT matrix distribution hardware.

With the HDBaseT hardware one can build a huge network of video source devices feeding a virtually unlimited number of outputs (TVs).

The system also supports video wall configurations.

 

Supports:

HDTVFit (no video wall support.  Also leave username / password blank) and HDBaseT (with or without video wall) and others.

 

Required:

One input card for each HDMI source device

One HDBaseT (Cat6) output card for each HDMI output device

One HDBaseT receiver per TV / Display

At least one of the Video Matrix's network ports connected to the "Control Network" and assigned a Static (doesn't change) IP address that is entered on Allonis's Configuration spreadsheet.  The second NIC (if included) is a backup if the primary fails and is not needed for the system to work.

Once installed click the Driver 

Define the controller manually including it's number if Inputs and Outputs

Discover all transmitters and receivers

Zone is for Input number for transmitters and Output numbers from 1-X

The Controller should aways be Zone 0

 

Example 2x2 video wall defintion command (DRAFT content):

AV|110~CreateVideoWall~1~2x2~1,2,3,4~~~full~1

To switch a video wall to individual TVs:

AV|110~SetVideoWallMode~1~single

 

Managing the Video Network Switch network settings

Here is a  YouTube Video on how to change the IP address on the WolfPac Video Matrix Switch

Once you have changed the NIC(s) to the IP address that works on your existing control system network (the network myServer 6 is on), then you can plug the matrix into that network and reboot it.


Default IP address are

IP 1 - 192.168.0.80

IP 2 - 192.168.1.80

 

EDID issues

If you have 2 HDMI output cards they can unplug one of those and plug it into HDMI input 2 and 4 and set the EDID

Quick rundown 

Unplug the HDMI output to the TV that is connected to the HDMI output

Plug it into Input 2 using the HDMI cable

Press the EDID button for a couple seconds 

It will slow blink

Press the EDID button again for a few seconds let go and it should turn solid blue

Reconnect everything back up and test.

For the TV3 not getting any picture try swapping the CAT6 cable coming out of the HDBASET output card ( swap 3 and 4) see if he gets a picture  

Last would be swap the receiver with a know working one for a test.
