Chapter 1 – Introduction

Overview
AJA 10 GigE IP Mini-Converters are designed for point of use applications for encoding, transport, reception and decoding of IP based video sources. Rugged, compact and fanless, the 10 GigE IP Mini-Converters provide the bridge between Baseband and IP video for a range of applications, such as sending and receiving video over IP from remote facilities in post production, source monitoring, digital signage, and video walls. 10 GigE IP Mini-Converters ease the cost of extensive monitoring distribution in a facility.
The 10 GigE IP Mini-Converter Transmitters take baseband HDMI or SDI input and encode the data as SMPTE 2110. The embedded audio associated with the video stream is also encoded to SMPTE 2110. Alternatively, analog audio can be encoded and sent with the video stream instead.
The 10 GigE IP Mini-Converter Receivers decode SMPTE 2110 and format the data for either HDMI or SDI output. The audio associated with the video stream is extracted, synchronized, and then embedded into the HDMI or SDI signal as well as output on a stereo analog RCA audio output.
All UltraHD rates (23.98, 24, 25, 29.97, 30, 50) can be received only by the IPR-10G2-HDMI.
The IPR-10G2-HDMI can provide RGB (rather than YCbCr) to a compatible monitor if the monitor or other sink device indicates this availability via EDID.
Pre-Built System Configuration Modes for IPR-10G2
There is a set of pre-built system configuration modes, or "system modes," available from the System Mode control on the Config page of the IPR-10G2 web UI. These pre-built System Modes are designed to save you time so that you can get your unit up and running quickly.
Each System Mode is built for a specific type of use case, taking into account factors such as network conditions, protection requirements, timing, and latency considerations.
Please see "System Modes" on page 41 for more detailed information.
NOTE: The System Modes are available only for the IPR-10G2-SDI and IPR-10G2-HDMI units; they are not needed on the IPT-10G2-SDI and IPT-10G2-HDMI units since the transmitter's functionality is simpler.
On a high level, the five pre-built System Modes are described as follows:
PTP Low Latency
- Appropriate under ideal network conditions
- Fastest method of moving data through the device (does not require signal processing)
- Provides the least amount of packet-level and frame-level protection
- Remote sender and AJA IPR-10G2 receiver are locked to PTP
PTP Protected
- Provides the highest amount of packet-level and frame-level protection, including redundancy support with ST 2022-7
• Maximum latency due to longer signal processing chain - Remote sender and AJA IPR-10G2 receiver are locked to PTP
Gateway
- Bridges between PTP and Reference Video timed domains
- Provides frame-level protection
• Moderate latency due to signal processing chain
Gateway Protected
- Bridges between PTP and Reference Video timed domains
- Provides the highest amount of packet-level and frame-level protection, including redundancy support with ST 2022-7
• Maximum latency due to longer signal processing chain
Asynchronous
- Intended as a setup environment or troubleshooting and demo tool
- Not for production
- When unable to lock to PTP or when experiencing problems with Reference In, uses Video In to verify that video is being received from source address
- Provides frame-level protection (no packet-level protection)
• Moderate latency due to signal processing chain
Advanced
Unlike the five pre-built System Modes just described, each of which are "safe," Advanced Mode does not guard against a user applying contradictory settings that could provide unpredictable results.
Characteristics of Advanced Mode include the following:
- For custom configurations
- Has no native default settings
- Can be used to iterate and expand upon the five pre-built System Modes described above
- Provides free-range access to:
- Video Clock Mode
- Packet Protection Mode
- Frame Sync Mode
- System Mode
• Audio Sample Rate Converter
- When selected, Advanced Mode will retain the settings of the previously selected System Mode, and the user may proceed to customize settings as desired. This means that any of the System Modes can be modified using Advanced Mode and then saved as a Preset on the Presets screen.
NOTE: When working with Advanced Mode, if the configuration settings become problematic, you can always "revert" to one of the five pre-built System Modes to get the unit running again with established internally compatible settings.

System Requirements
Remote computer configuration and control is accomplished using the 10 GigE IP Mini-Converters' internal web server. A macOS X or Windows computer with a web browser installed is all that is required. Additionally, initial configuration using eMini-Setup will require a USB port between the host computer and the 10 GigE IP Mini-Converter.
NOTE: Chrome and Firefox are the preferred web browsers for control on Windows. Safari is the preferred web browser for control on macOS. Other web browsers may work, but AJA cannot guarantee consistent operation for all web browsers or web browser versions.
Control LAN, Ready, Link/Act, and Lock LED Behavior
The Control LAN LED illuminates to indicate a link. Blinking indicates activity.
The Ready LED illuminates green when the unit has finished powering up and is ready to use.
The Link/Act LED 1 and Link/Act LED 2 behavior is as follows:
- Off - No SFP+ module present
- Red - SFP+ module present, no link
- Green - Link is up
- Green flash - Link is up and there is Tx or Rx activity
The Lock LED behavior is as follows:
- Off - No Precision Time Protocol (PTP) is detected
• Red - A PTP error is detected
• Yellow and flashing - Locking Phase 1 - Yellow - Locking Phase 2
- Green and flashing - Locking Phase 3
- Green - Signal is locked
NOTE: Achieving locked status may take 5 or more minutes depending on network jitter behavior. The output of the unit will still function during the locking period.
Installation Overview
Detailed instructions are provided in "Chapter 2 – eMini-Setup" on page 18 and "Chapter 3 – 10 GigE IP Mini-Converters Web Interface" on page 27.
As an overview, however, there are two methods available for initial setup for 10 GigE IP Mini-Converters:
-
Using a web browser on the host computer connected to the same network as the 10 GigE IP Mini-Converter, or
-
Using the AJA eMini-Setup application running on the host computer that is directly connected to the 10 GigE IP Mini-Converter via USB.
Initial Setup By Web Browser
NOTE: Chrome and Firefox are the preferred web browsers for control on Windows. Safari is the preferred web browser for control on macOS. Other web browsers may work, but AJA cannot guarantee consistent operation for all web browsers or web browser versions.
10 GigE IP Mini-Converters require a network connection for initial configuration, control and firmware updates. 10 GigE IP Mini-Converters are shipped from the factory with DHCP enabled, and support automatic network discovery via SSDP and MDNS.
To Set Up the Unit with a Web Browser
- Connect the 10 GigE IP Mini-Converter Control Port to the intended network with an Ethernet cable.
- The intended network's DHCP Server will assign an IP address and the 10 GigE IP Mini-Converter will join that network.
- Locate and connect to the AJA 10 GigE IP Mini-Converter.

- Use the web UI to fully configure and control your AJA Device.
Hardware Installation
Temperature of Unit
The 10 GigE IP Mini-Converters pack an unprecedented feature set into the mini converter box. As a result, the unit uses approximately 13 watts of power. It will be very warm to the touch, which is normal. The unit is engineered to operate across the full temperature range, from 0 to 40 degrees C.
Access to Air for Proper Cooling
For highest reliability, the mini converters rely on convection cooling instead of using a built-in fan. Therefore, when installing the units, mount in a location where they have access to air for proper cooling. Do not stack the 10 GigE IP Mini-Converters with other mini converters or other powered equipment.
Number of LAN Connections
Three LAN connections to the unit are not necessarily required on an ongoing basis. If it is desirable for your installation, after the 10 GigE IP Mini-Converter is set up, you can access all control parameters through one of the Media LANs with the appropriate network configuration. See "Networking Option – Using Only the Media LAN Port for Control and Media Settings" on page 27 for more information.
Settings Retained
The current 10 GigE IP Mini-Converter's configuration settings are retained even when powered off, so subsequent installations for an identical decoding or encoding session can be done with the following simple steps:
- Apply power to the 10 GigE IP Mini-Converter.
- Connect the unit to your network using the Control LAN, Media LAN 1 and Media LAN 2 and connect the unit's inputs and outputs.
REST API Documentation
AJA's REST automation API provides a platform from which you can issue commands to an AJA device's internal web server, allowing remote systems the ability to control AJA embedded or networked devices. With this control framework, you can build integration and automation scripts, using any scripting language, allowing you to take full advantage of the device's functionality.

Overview
This chapter describes using the eMini-Setup application to initially communicate with and configure a 10 GigE IP Mini-Converter over a direct USB connection. Once configured, the IP Mini-Converter can be accessed via an Ethernet network using a web browser. Subsequently, that device can then be reconfigured over that network, using its IP address and built-in web server.
NOTE: The eMini-Setup application is only used to setup selected Ethernet capable AJA devices, and cannot be used to connect to or setup other AJA Mini-Converters.
The general procedure is:
- Acquire eMini-Setup from the AJA website and install the eMini-Setup application onto a computer.
- Connect the IP Mini-Converter to that computer's USB port.
- Launch the eMini-Setup application.
- Go to the Control Network tab and Media Network tabs, where the IP address settings are displayed. You can use the existing DHCP assigned IP address, or it can be changed manually.
- You can also use eMini-Setup to load firmware to the device, although this can also be done quickly and easily using the web browser interface.

Chapter 3 – 10 GigE IP Mini-Converters Web Interface
Overview
Once you have established network connectivity with the 10 GigE IP MiniConverter, you can further configure and more fully control the unit through its web interface. Subsequently, eMini-Setup is no longer required to interface with the unit.
NOTE: It is often best to remove the USB connection once you have acquired the web interface. This prevents accidentally using eMini-Setup to change parameters already set via the web UI.
Remote Control Overview
An optimized web server in the 10 GigE IP Mini-Converter allows remote control and parameter setting adjustments via a browser client running on a network wired computer. The network can be a closed local area network, a direct connection between a 10 GigE IP Mini-Converter and a computer, or even exposed through a firewall to a WAN.
Each 10 GigE IP Mini-Converter uses a standard RJ-45 connector for the Control LAN connection, and two SFP+ cages for the 10 Gbps Ethernet Media LAN connections.
NOTE: Safari is the preferred web browser for control on the Mac, and additionally Chrome and Firefox on Windows. Other web browsers may work, but AJA cannot guarantee consistent operation for all web browsers or web browser versions.
To connect to the 10 GigE IP Mini-Converter, attach the unit to your network and enter its Control Network IP address into the web browser. If authentication has been configured, you may need to enter a password.
Networking Option – Using Only the Media LAN Port for Control and Media Settings
To reduce facility cabling to the 10 GigE IP Mini Converter, it is an option to setup your network connection through an Ethernet switch via the Media LAN ports (rather than using the dedicated Control Port). This means that you will have just one or two cables to the unit, instead of two or three.
To implement this approach, follow these general steps:
- Note the IP address of the unit's Media LAN 1 or Media LAN 2 port. This should be a static IP address.
- Connect the controlling computer's Ethernet port that is being used to control the unit into an Ethernet switch. This requires disconnecting the Ethernet cable from the Control LAN port of the unit.
- Connect the Media LAN port of the unit into the Ethernet switch.
- Connect the source of the Media IP stream into the Ethernet switch.
-
Set the controlling computer's Ethernet port that is being used to control the 10 GigE IP Mini-Converter to DHCP.
-
From the controlling computer, point a web browser to the IP address noted in step 1. The 10 GigE IP Mini-Converter's web user interface displays in the browser.

Figure 27. IPT-10G2-SDI Config Screen 1 of 3

System Name
Defines a name for the system and gives it a unique identifier. This name is used when displaying systems through the web interface.
User Authentication
Enable or disable user password authentication for the web interface.
Identify LED
Enables flashing of the Ethernet LEDs on the unit.
UPnP Host
Enable or disable network discovery using Universal Plug and Play.
IGMP Version
Select the Internet Group Management Protocol Version. AJA supports IGMP v2 and v3.
NOTE: It is important to know which version of IGMP is in use on your network. Selecting the wrong IGMP version may cause long delays in processing multicast subscriptions. See your network engineer for more information.
PTP Domain
NOTE: Applicable only if PTP is selected for Video Output Clock Selection.
The PTP Domain field is for the ID of the PTP Source Port. While it is possible that there could be multiple PTP domains, most implementations will use "0". If unsure, consult with your network administrator. Possible values range from 0 to 127.
PTP Preferred Grandmaster ID
NOTE: Applicable only if PTP is selected for Video Output Clock Selection.
There can be multiple Grandmaster IDs. However, most of the time, it will be automatically determined. Typically, it is the same as the Ethernet address for the port of the Grandmaster.
Example of a PTP Grandmaster ID:
• 08-00-11-FF-FE-22-04-D6
PTP Grand Master Capable
NOTE: Applicable only if PTP is selected for Video Output Clock Selection.
For local demonstration purposes only, the IPT-10G2-SDI and IPT-10G2-HDMI can act as a grandmaster in network environments where there is not one already present, such as during basic testing, or setting up a PoC or demonstration.
CAUTION: Do not enable this control unless you have first checked with your network administrator.
Disable - Disables the PTP Grand Master capability.
Enable - Enables the PTP Grand Master capability.
Frame Sync Mode
Enabling Frame Sync Mode is recommended when you are using a source device that does not have a Reference Input (such as an HDMI camera, for example). A source device without a Reference Input cannot be locked to PTP before its signal arrives at the IPT-10G2-SDI and IPT-10G2-HDMI.
However, by enabling Frame Sync Mode, the incoming baseband video packets are conditioned by the Frame Sync and timed for the ST 2110 network, adding 1 to 2 frames of latency before being sent out.
Enable - Incoming baseband video packets are timed and sent out after being conditioned by the Frame Sync.
Bypass - Incoming baseband video packets bypass the Frame Sync.
NOTE: If your source device has a Reference Input, you do not need to enable Frame Sync Mode. Instead, you can lock to PTP by using the IPT-10G2-SDI's or IPT-10G2-HDMI's Reference Output. This provides the unit with the ability to lock cameras, tape decks, Ki-Pro, Kona, or other sources to PTP timing. See "Ref Output Format" on page 37 for details.

NOTE: The Ref Output Format control is displayed only when the Frame Sync Mode control is set to Bypass.
The IPT-10G2-SDI and IPT-10G2-HDMI generate an analog/tri-level reference output synchronized to the PTP clock in your facility. When converting baseband video to ST2110, connect your traditional video source to this reference output to lock it to the facility PTP timing prior to bringing it into the IPT-10G2-SDI or IPT-10G2-HDMI for conversion. This provides the unit with the ability to lock cameras, tape decks, Ki-Pro, Kona, or other sources to PTP timing.
Additionally, the IPT-10G2-SDI and IPT-10G2-HDMI can fulfill the function of a PTP to analog black/tri-level reference converter device, which some applications will require.
Select one of the following video reference output formats:
- NTSC 525i
• PAL 625i - 1280x720p 50
• 1280x720p 59.94 - 1280x720p 60
• 1920x1080i 48
• 1920x1080i 50
• 1920x1080i 59.94 - 1920x1080i 60
• 1920x1080p 23.98 - 1920x1080p 24

System Modes
There is a set of pre-built system configuration modes, or "system modes," available from the System Mode control on the Config page of the IPR-10G2 web UI. These pre-built System Modes are designed to save you time so that you can get your unit up and running quickly.
NOTE: The System Modes are available only for the IPR-10G2-SDI and IPR-10G2-HDMI units; they are not needed on the IPT-10G2-SDI and IPT-10G2-HDMI units since the transmitter's functionality is simpler.
Each System Mode is built for a specific type of use case, taking into account factors such as network conditions, protection requirements, timing, and latency considerations.
NOTE: The choice of System Mode will impact which controls are available. Multiple variations of controls are possible on the Config page.
The following tables present the core characteristics for each pre-built System Mode.
Table 1. PTP Low Latency System Mode characteristics
| System Mode 1 PTP Low Latency | |
| Description PTP environment | Lowest protection*Near-zero latency** |

*Protection against loss or degradation of picture. Low protection does not necessarily mean picture loss or degradation will result, as this would depend on the network architecture and numerous other factors.
**The term latency is referring to latency on the network. The network in this context refers to the IP Mini Converters end-to-end — from video into IP Transmitter to video out of IP Receiver, including IP switches along the way.
Unlike the five pre-built System Modes just described, each of which are "safe," the Advanced Mode, described below, does not guard against a user applying contradictory settings that could provide unpredictable results.
NOTE: When working with Advanced Mode, if the configuration settings become problematic, you can always "revert" to one of the five pre-built System Modes to get the unit running again with established internally compatible settings.

Video Clock Mode
Select which clock source you want to use for the video output. The clock selection determines whether or not you need to use the Frame Sync in order to have glitch-free output.
PTP - PTP is recommended. Ideally, both the IPR-10G2 and the video source would use PTP.
Video In - Use the input signal as the clock source. If you do not have PTP available, Lock to Input is the next recommended choice and it allows for a glitch-free video output.
Freerun - Selecting Free Run requires that you use Frame Sync in order to prevent output glitches.
Ref In - If the Reference In source is synchronized with the Grand Master PTP, you will not need to use the Frame Sync. On the other hand, if the Reference In is unrelated to the PTP, such as if it is from an independent sync generator, you will need to use Frame Sync in order to prevent output glitches. New Reference Input support for IPR-10G2-HDMI and IPR-10G2-SDI provides users with the ability to lock the local baseband output to the timing of the baseband environment at the destination.

NOTE: Applicable only if PTP is selected for Video Output Clock Selection.
Select the PTP domain from values ranging from 0 to 127. This should match the PTP domain configured on the PTP Grandmaster clock on the network.
PTP Preferred Grandmaster ID
NOTE: Applicable only if PTP is selected for Video Output Clock Selection.
In most situations, this field should left blank.
If multiple PTP Grandmasters are present on the same domain on the network, the device will automatically select a PTP Grandmaster to lock to. However, if you prefer a specific PTP Grandmaster, then set this field to the ID of the preferred Grandmaster.
Example of a PTP Grandmaster ID:
• 08-00-11-FF-FE-22-04-D6
PTP Grand Master Capable
NOTE: Applicable only if PTP is selected for Video Output Clock Selection.
For local demonstration purposes only, the IPR-10G2-HDMI and IPR-10G2-SDI can act as a grandmaster in network environments where there is not one already present, such as during basic testing, setting up a PoC or demonstration.
CAUTION: Do not enable this control unless you have first checked with your network administrator.
Disable - Disables the PTP Grand Master capability.
Enable - Enables the PTP Grand Master capability.
Packet Buffer Window Size (ms)
Window size in milliseconds for packet buffering.
Packet Protection Mode
With Packet Protection Mode, the IPR-10G2 will accept signals from both Media LAN 1 and Media LAN 2, allowing for hitless media switching in the event that one of the signals is interrupted.
Single Stream - When set to Single Sream, the IPR-10G2 will accept one signal from Media LAN 1 only. If packets are out of order, they will be rearranged into the correct order. Note that hitless protection is not part of Single Stream mode.
Dual Stream - When set to Dual Stream, hitless media protection is enabled. Two identical copies of the same stream are accepted from Media LAN 1 and Media LAN 2. Both streams are compared packet by packet. If one stream is missing a packet, it will be taken from the other stream to make sure that one good stream comes through properly.
Bypass - When set to Bypass, the IPR-10G2 takes the media stream from Media LAN 1. The stream bypasses the entire hitless protection block.
Hitless Window Size (ms)
NOTE: Applicable only if Hitless Media Support is enabled.
Set the amount of time in milliseconds that the unit will look for redundant packets to decide to accept or reject them for hitless media switching.
To determine the hitless window size, consider any delay between the signals, expected jitter, along with any other sources of potential delay between signals.
Possible values range from 1 to 50. The actual range is determined by the signal's frame rate, raster size and other factors.
Frame Sync Mode
Frame Sync Mode can be enabled for synchronizing frames to the timing source you are using.
Enable - Frame Sync Mode is enabled.
Bypass - Frame Sync Mode is disabled.
Audio Rate Converter Mode
In cases where there are either missing audio packets or the audio clock is not synchronous with the timing source, the audio rate converter can match the output audio rate to the local clock. Select either of the following options:
- Use Audio Src
- Bypass Audio Src

Input Stream Selection
Select SDP, Manual or NMOS/Ember.
SDP - The SDP method greatly simplifies the configuration process for the Input Stream Selection fields. Selecting SDP causes the following four fields to display:
- SDP URL Video - Enter the SDP URL Video string. For example: http://172.16.0.109/txch2v.sdp
- SDP URL Audio - Enter the SDP URL Audio string. For example: http://172.16.0.109/bxch2a1.sdp
- SDP URL Video 2 - Enter the SDP URL Video string. For example: http://172.16.0.109/txch2v.sdp
- SDP URL Audio 2 - Enter the SDP URL Audio string. For example: http://172.16.0.109/txch2a1.sdp
The strings entered into the SDP URL Video and SDP URL Audio fields point to SDP files that are created by the source that is transmitting the video signal.
The SDP files contain all required configuration parameters for the following Input Stream Selection fields:
- Video Input Format
- Audio Channels
• Audio Packet Interval
• Video Destination Address
• Video Source Address
• Audio Destination Address
• Audio Source Address.
• Video 2 Destination Address
• Video 2 Source Address
• Audio 2 Destination Address
• Audio 2 Source Address
Manual - When Manual is selected, you must enter configuration parameters manually into the following Input Stream Selection fields:
- Video Input Format
- Audio Channels
- Audio Packet Interval — Select the time interval between packets transmitted by the audio transmitter. The receivers support audio packet intervals of 1 millisecond or 125 microseconds.
- Video Destination Address — The IP address corresponding to where the video stream is being sent. In multicast mode, this is the multicast IP address of the ST 2110 stream. In unicast mode, this is the unicast IP address of the media port on the receiver. The Video Destination Address is almost always required on a receiver (IPR-10G2-HDMI, IPR-10G2-SDI). Additionally, the destination UDP port of the stream may also be specified by appending it with a colon to the destination address.
• For example: 239.0.0.1:10000
- Video Source Address — The unicast IP address of the media port on the sending device, such as an IPT-10G2-HDMI or IPT-10G2-SDI. This field should be left blank in most situations. It is useful only in setups where multiple transmitters are transmitting to the same multicast destination address and IGMPv3 is in use to subscribe to the stream from a specific source.
- Audio Destination Address — This is the audio stream equivalent of the Video Destination Address.
- Audio Source Address — This is the audio stream equivalent of the Video Source Address.
• Video 2 Destination Address
• Video 2 Source Address
• Audio 2 Destination Address
• Audio 2 Source Address
NMOS/Ember - When NMOS/Ember is selected, input stream selection occurs through network discovery and communication with facility automation.
NMOS uses the address of the unit's internal web server for communications. When the unit boots up, it actively scans the network for an NMOS registry using MDNS/DNS. If it finds one, it tells the NMOS registry what it is and what its capabilities are.
If the unit does not find an NMOS registry, it continues to announce itself through MDNS so that it can be discovered. Once discovered, it registers itself with whatever has discovered the unit through MDNS.

Presets Screen
Figure 33. IPR-10G2-HDMI Presets Screen

The Presets screen allows you to save Preset Configurations into 20 separate memory registers and recall the presets whenever needed.
The Presets screen also includes Export and Import functions that allow exporting one or all presets to your computer as files and importing exported preset files from your computer. A displayed message indicates successful or failed saves, recalls, exports, and imports.
Presets Screen Controls
Factory Reset - Factory Reset recalls all editable parameters to their factory default settings. Individual presets and Network settings, such as the IP Addresses, are not affected.
Recall - The Recall buttons recall the saved preset configurations.
CAUTION: When you recall a Preset Configuration, the recalled preset immediately replaces the system's existing configuration. All previous settings are lost unless you have previously stored them in another preset configuration or an exported file.
Save - The Save buttons let you save the current configuration into the preset register with the associated name and number. A preset is a set of all parameters as they were set at the time the preset was saved. Only editable parameters are saved in the presets. Non-editable parameters are not saved.
To change a preset name, click in the name's text field, type a new name, and press Enter to save the name. After entering text, you can click the mouse outside of the edit box to exit without changing the name.
CAUTION: IP Mini-Converter stored presets may contain a web server access password. If you share an exported preset to someone, that person can extract the password. Before loaning the device to someone, or returning it as a rental, it is recommended that you clear the device of sensitive information.
Export - The Export buttons save the associated preset contents to a file on your computer. The file gets exported to the default download location specified in your browser options. The file name is the same as the preset name with the suffix .presets. If you export multiple files for the same preset, a number gets appended to ensure a unique file name. The file size is small, usually less than 100 kilobytes.
Import - The Import buttons let you browse for and import a preset file on your computer into the preset register associated with the selected button. A dialog box warns you that the operation will overwrite the current preset contents with the file contents. You can only import presets from an IP MiniConverter.
Erase - The Erase buttons erase the data in that preset.
Export Presets 1–20 (All) - Export All lets you save the contents of all presets to a file on your computer.
The file gets exported to the default download location specified in your browser options with the name all.presets. If you export multiple files, a number gets appended to ensure a unique file name.
Import Presets 1–20 (All) - Import All lets you browse for and import a previously exported all.presets file from your computer. A dialog box warns you that the operation will overwrite all 20 current preset contents with the contents stored in the file.
Erase Presets 1–20 (All) - Erase All erases all data from all the presets. A dialog box warns you that the operation will erase all 20 current presets.
USB Keyboard Control
The USB Keyboard Control, used for quickly recalling previously created device presets, is available for the IPR-10G2-SDI and IPR-10G2-HDMI.
Connect a standard USB keyboard with the USB port of the IPR-10G2 device. You can recall presets 1 through 20 by using keyboard numbers 1 through 9 to access presets 1 through 9, then keyboard letters A through K to access presets 10 through 20.
IMPORTANT: Using the Keyboard Number 0 (zero) will initiate a Factory Reset for the device.
Network Screen
Use the Network Configuration Control Tab to configure or modify settings for the Control LAN Ethernet port.

Figure 36. IPR-10G2-HDMI Network Configuration Media 2 Tab

The Network screen allows you to view and change your IP Mini-Converter's network settings. Click Apply to activate any changes.
IP Address Type - IP Address Type determines the type of TCP/IP network configuration to be used. DHCP enables connecting to the network DHCP server, which assigns the IP Address, Netmask, and Gateway automatically. Static lets you set these parameters manually.
NOTE: If the IP Address Type is DHCP, the IP Address, Netmask, and Default Gateway are gray, indicating they are set automatically and cannot be changed unless IP Address Type is first set to Static. Changes are saved and activated upon confirmation using the Apply button.
- DHCP (default) - Selects automatic IP address assignment from the LAN DHCP server. If a DHCP server cannot be found, it fails over to the static IP address.
- Static - Assigns a static IP address manually. The factory default static IP address: 192.168.0.1.
IP Address - IP Address determines a static IP address to be used for TCP/IP networking. Consult your network administrator about how to set this value.
- If IP Address Type is set to DHCP, the IP address is set automatically by the network DHCP server and cannot be entered here.
- If IP Address Type is set to Static, enter an IP address compatible with your LAN here. Also enter a netmask and default gateway address in the following two parameters. Click Apply when you are ready to apply all three entries.
- If IP Address Type is set to DHCP and there is a DHCP failure, the IP address is set to the static IP address.
Netmask - Netmask determines the subnet mask to be used for TCP/IP networking.
- Enter a subnet mask compatible with your LAN. This is only needed for Static IP configurations. The factory default Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0
- If IP Address Type is set to DHCP, the Subnet Mask is set by the DHCP server and cannot be changed by the user.
Default Gateway - Default Gateway determines the gateway or router used on your LAN for TCP/IP networking.
Without a properly configured default gateway (whether you have a router/gateway or not), your IP Mini-Converter will be unable to see other IP Mini-Converters on the network, although you may still be able to control this IP Mini-Converter via a web browser. Also, without a proper gateway defined, the discovery feature on the Network web page will not list other units on the network.
- Enter a default gateway or router address. This is only needed for Static IP configurations. The factory Default Gateway is 192.168.0.1.
- If IP Address Type is set to DHCP, the Default Gateway is set by the DHCP server and cannot be changed by the user.
MAC Address - Reports the connected IP Mini-Converter's Media Access Control Address.
Link State - Reports the current status of the Ethernet connection.
