Visionary Solutions PacketAV 4k

This driver is for the Visionary Solutions PacketAV 4k HDMI over IP products.

It is very important to follow the complete setup procedures for the PacketAV 4K provided by Visionary Solutions. Failure to follow the procedures provided by Visionary Solutions can result in operational failure of both the PacketAV 4K products and this driver and may result in damage or injury.

In addition, an understanding of the terminology and functionality provided in the PacketAV 4K system is assumed. If you are not familiar with the PacketAV 4K we recommend contacting Visionary Solutions for training before proceeding.

RTI is not to be held responsible for any damages or injuries that may result from a lack of knowledge or misuse of this driver with the Visionary Solutions PacketAV 4K products.

This driver was developed and tested using the following PacketAV 4K devices:

2x E4100 Encoder

4x D4100 Decoder

A Cisco SG300-10P 10 Port Gigabit PoE Managed Switch and a TP-Link TL-R600VPN Gigabit Broadband VPN Router were also used. The XP processor used was connected to the TP-Link router which was setup using a static route to the Cisco switch.

Release History

1.0 Initial release of the driver

I/O Configuration

Output Count - Enter the number of output devices (decoders). Up to 64 output devices are supported.

Input Count - Enter the number of input devices (encoders). Up to 64 input devices are supported.

Output (1-64) Configuration

Name - Enter the name to be used for the output device. This name will be used throughout the driver and in XPDiagnostics for easy reference.

Control IP Address - Enter the IP address used by the output device for control, feedback, and connectivity. MAC reservation addressing, or static IP addressing are required for communications between the driver and the output devices.

Control IP Port - Enter the IP port number used by the output device. PacketAV 4K devices use port 2323 as the control port default.

Control Username - Enter the username configured in the output device. PacketAV 4K devices use "admin" as the default username.

Control Password - Enter the password configured in the output device. PacketAV 4K devices use "admin" as the default password.

Input (1-64) Configuration

Multicast Stream IP Address - Enter the IP address used by the input device that the multicast stream will be available on.

Driver Notes

- All driver commands will get queued up for sending to their respective devices. Each device has its own queue so under normal operating conditions the time a command is added to a device's queue and the time it is executed is kept to a minimum. The exception to this is direct volume commands for output devices as they get queued on their own and once the adjustments are completed the final volume level is sent to the device's overall queue for execution. This means ramping or using a slider with real-time control is not available.

- Each device has its own connectivity state along with its own initialization state and routines. When an individual device becomes connected it will run through its own initialization process to sync up with the system.

- A driver initialization state is also included for building the object database of what devices are in the system.

- RAW driver commands are available for input and output devices respectfully. Feedback may not be available for commands sent using these commands.
