VN-Matrix 200• Setup Guide  
The Extron® VN-Matrix 200 Series provides real-time transmission of high resolution audio visual  
content across standard IP networks for live viewing, collaboration, storage, and playback.  
The VN-Matrix 200 Series encodes video or graphics sources at resolutions up to HD or  
WUXGA, streams the video and audio over an IP network, then decodes the  
content back to the original source resolution. VN-Matrix applies the Extron  
PURE3Codec, a unique wavelet-based compression technology. The  
VN-Matrix 200 Series offers real-time streaming and low latency, making it  
ideal for remote collaborative and interactive or control applications. It can be  
deployed in live event streaming and high level conferencing for specialized projects.  
NOTE:  
For full installation, configuration, and operation details, refer to the VN-Matrix 200 User Guide, available at  
Before You Connect to a Network  
Before connecting each VN-Matrix to a network you must change its default network settings. On an existing network,  
check with the network administrator for a range of suitable IP addresses.  
On a closed network, used exclusively by VN-Matrix, we recommend that you use addresses in the range 192.168.0.1 to  
192.168.0.254 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. The following diagram shows an example addressing scheme for a  
simple system comprising four VN-Matrix units:

VN-Matrix Controller  
One VN-Matrix device in a group must be designated as the “controller.” All system configuration is achieved via a web  
interface that is served up by the controller. In the above example, the unit at address 192.168.0.101 is designated the  
controller for this group of VN-Matrix devices. Note that the controller IP value on each device is set to this address.  
Setup Procedure  
Follow the step-by-step instructions in the Initial Setup” section for each VN-Matrix, then follow the “Operation”  
section instructions to create a simple VN-Matrix system. For more detailed information and advanced setup procedures  
refer to the user guide.

Figure 1. A Typical VN-Matrix System  
a.  
Connect a video source to the VN-Matrix Encoder as shown above.  
NOTE: An optional local monitor may be connected to the Encoder.  
b.  
Connect a video display to the VN-Matrix Decoder as shown above.  
Connect a PC to the network, as shown above, for control.  
c.  
NOTE:  
The control computer must be on the same subnet as the VN-Matrix units.  
Operation  
Once all VN-Matrix 200 devices have been correctly set up, any further system configuration and operation is via the  
VN-Matrix 200 network interface. Built-in HTML pages provide access to various system parameters. The VN-Matrix 200  
device that you designated as the controller in the “Before you Connect to a Network” procedure functions as the network  
server. The HTML pages can be viewed by any web browser, such as Mozilla® Firefox®, ver. 1.3 or newer (preferred), or  
Microsoft® Internet Explorer®, ver. 6.0 or newer.  
NOTE:  
Whichever browser you use, it must be configured to accept cookies and be Javascript-enabled.  
Start up and Login  
1. Connect a computer through the network to the VN-Matrix 200 device that is configured as the controller.  
2. Enter the IP address of the VN-Matrix 200 unit that is configured as the controller into the address bar of the web  
browser.  
3. Press the keyboard <Enter> key. The login screen appears.  
4. Enter the username and password.  
NOTE:  
The VN-Matrix 200 devices have two user accounts (usernames):  
admin — which allows full read/write access to all setup parameters,  
public — which allows read-only access to setup parameters.  
As shipped from the factory, the password for both accounts is the same as the user name (the password is  
“admin” for the admin user account and “public” for the public account).  
• The username and password are case sensitive.  
• For the intial setup, use the admin username.  
5. Click the Login button or press the keyboard <Enter> key. The VN-Matrix 200 web page opens to the Device List tab,  
shown below. This page lists all VN-Matrix devices that are connected to the system controller.

Configure the VN-Matrix 200 Units as Encoders or Decoders  
The Mode column on the Device List tab shows how each VN-Matrix 200 unit is configured using the following icons:  
= Encoder  
NOTE:  
= Decoder  
= Recorder or a playback device  
= Undefined  
The VN-Matrix Recorder is not documented here. The device list may show more devices than are in your  
system. This is because the controller maintains a list of devices that have been used previously, but may not be  
currently available. In this case, the IP address entry for that device is blank.  
Configure the device as an encoder or decoder as follows:  
1. In the device list double-click any of the list entries for a device to be configured. The following web page is displayed.  
2.  
3.  
In the Device Setup box a shown above, click the create source b button to configure the device as an encoder or  
click the create display c button to configure the device as a decoder. See “Device Setup” on the Help tab for more  
configuration details.  
After configuring the device, set the Mode to enable d and save the configuration by selecting the Save All tab e.  
4. From the Display page of the decoder select an encoder source  
device. See the illustraion on the right.  
Local Monitor and Display Messages  
zz “No Source Present” An encoder message indicating that  
either no source device is connected or it is not compatible with  
the VN-Matrix 200.  
zz “No Source Datastream” A decoder message indicating that  
either no encoder is selected or the chosen encoder is not  
streaming.  
Front Panel LED indicators  
zz The top power LED lights green when the unit  
receives power; it flashes green when an over  
temperature, overload, or underload condition  
occurs. Cycle the power on and off to reset the unit.  
LAN-1  
LAN-2  
STATUS  
zz LAN-1 and LAN-2 LEDs indicate the status of the indicated network ports. They light or flash orange to indicate that  
data is being transmitted or received; an unlit state indicates no network or data activity.  
zz The Status LED lights green when source data is present but not being streamed (unit disabled or in standby mode); it  
flashes green when the source data is being streamed and received; an unlit state indicates that source data is neither  
detected nor received.
