Frequently Asked Questions - HIP-RA AG Neovo

How far can the HDMI signal be extended?

Up to 120 meters (400 feet) point-to-point without a switch, or up to 100 meters (330 feet) when using a network switch with Cat5e/6 cable.

What video resolutions are supported?

The extender supports resolutions up to 1080p, including 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i, and 1080p.

Can I use this extender with a network switch?

Yes, it can be used with a Gigabit Ethernet switch supporting IGMP snooping and VLAN tagging for point-to-multipoint and multipoint-to-multipoint configurations.

Does it support IR remote control?

Yes, it supports IR transmission at frequencies 38-56 kHz. Use the included IR-TX and IR-RX cables.

How do I configure the IP address of the extender?

Connect a PC to the extender via Ethernet, assign a static IP in the same subnet (e.g., 192.168.168.11), then access the web GUI at default IP 192.168.168.55 (TX) or 192.168.168.56 (RX).

Setup HIP-T and HIP-R

An HTTP server is embedded into every HIP-T and HIP-R, you can setup the IP address for each unit via web browser.

The default IP address of the TX is 192.168.168.55, MAC address is: 00:0b:78:00:60:01.

The default IP address of the RX is 192.168.168.56, MAC address is: 00:0b:78:00:60:02.

Step 1: Assign the PC (or laptop) IP address on the computer : "Control Panel"→"Network Connections"→"Local Area Connections

Status"→"Properties"→"Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)", fill in the IP address field with 192.168.168.11 (0-255) and Subnet mask with 255.255.255.0. After that press OK to save the configuration.

Note: The IP address of PC should be different from the IP addresses of HIP-T and HIP-R units.

Step 2: Use an Ethernet cable to connect the PC and the extender. the power LED for the extender should become red and the status LED green.

HIP-Series HDMI over IP Extenders

Step 3: Ping the connected device through the sequence on computer:

"Start"→ "Run"→ input "CMD"→ input "ping 192.168.168.55" for HIP-T or input "ping 192.168.168.56" for HIP-R, you will receive the reply if the connection is established.

Step 4: Open a browser and type: 192.168.168.55 (default IP for HIP-T) or 192.168.168.56 (default IP for HIP-R), You can setup IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and MAC address for the HIP-T and HIP-R.

Please set IP address for each TX and each RX, IP:192.168.168.XX (XX:1-255.

all IP address for HIP-T and HIP-R must be different.

Please set MAC address for HIP-T and HIP-R, MAC:00:0b:78:XX:XX-XX (XX:01-FF),

The MAC address for each TX and each RX must be different.

Step 5: After clicking the "Apply" button, the green LED light on the device will go out, you have successfully set IP address for HIP-T and HIP-R.

Note: if you need to restore the device to its factory default settings, please power on the device, wait about 10 seconds after the red LED light turn on, the green LED light starts working, at this time press the reset button for about 5-10 seconds, then the green light will go off, and you have successfully restored the IP address to default factory IP address now.

Choosing a Network Switch

This section provides various general and specific recommendations for switches to use with HIP-Series. However, there is no substitute for testing in real world situations. If you are in doubt about which network switch to use, the safest approach is to select one from the list of recommended switches below.

The Basics In general, the network switches deployed in HIP-Series installation must support the following:

• Gigabit (or faster) Ethernet port
- VLAN tagging
- Multicast forwarding or filtering
• IGMP v2 Snooping (multicast)
- Support for jumbo frames (packets) up to 9216-byte size
- IGMP Snooping
- IGMP Querier
• IGMP Snooping Fast-Leave
• High bandwidth connection between switches

Types of High Performance Switch

A high performance network switch is the means of a successful HIP-Series setup. When choosing a network switch, first select the type:

Layer 2 or Layer 3 Switches

You will need to determine whether you need a layer 2 or a layer 3 switch for your HIP-Series network. Layer 3 switches cost more than layer 2 switches because they are more complex and handle more network traffic. The best way to calculate which type of switch you need is to first determine if you will have a dedicated network for the HIP-Series devices or if the HIP-Series devices will be on a network that shares throughput with other network equipment such as computers, servers and printers. If they share the network with other devices its best to consider a layer 3 switch and use layer 2 switches exclusively for the HIP-Series device connections. For larger installations we recommend using Layer 3 switches.

The major differences are:

- Layer 3 Switch: IP addresses in packets are examined and intelligent forwarding decisions are made. On a larger network broken into subnets across long distances, a layer 3 switch becomes the best choice as they can improve network efficiency and provide better traffic flow. They are better at directing more traffic to different locations on a larger more complex network, and with layer 2 switches working below them.

- Layer 2 Switch: Packets are examined and forwarded using only the MAC address. If you have a small central network, a layer 2 switch should do the job. If the network is exclusive and will only transmit the bandwidth of HIP-Series devices, layer 2 switches with the correct settings can get the job done effectively.

Further Considerations

Number of ports: Choose a switch that has enough ports to match the number of HIP-Series devices you will be installing. Switches typically come in 5, 8, 10, 16, 24, 28, 48, and 52-port configurations. If you are installing 12 HIP-T and 12 HIP-R, you will need to purchase a switch with at least 24 ports.
