VN-Matrix 300 • Introduction 3
System Control
Integrated Web Management System
The VN-Matrix 300 incorporates an integrated web management system (referred to in
this manual as the web interface). This allows any VN-Matrix 300 unit on a network to be
congured via a Windows
®
-based PC (on the same network), using a standard web browser
(such as Mozilla FireFox
®
or Internet Explorer
®
).
This interface provides for full control of the VN-Matrix 300 feature set.
One VN-Matrix 300 unit in the system is designated as a controller. This unit acts as a server
for the web interface and holds a record of the conguration for all VN-Matrix 300 devices
on the network. The controller manages the communications to all VN-Matrix 300 devices.
Any VN-Matrix 300 unit, whether it is congured as an encoder or decoder, can be used as a
controller.
Additional Control Features
Remote Control
RS-232 serial data can be routed between selected VN-Matrix 300 units using the COM2
port, for example to provide remote control of an external device.
Network Requirements
The VN-Matrix 300 uses highly efcient compression algorithms to minimize the amount of
data needed to be transported across the network.
It is, however, crucial to the effective operation of VN-Matrix 300 that sufcient data
throughput can be achieved, especially where multiple sources are being encoded.
The efficiency of a network will be directly affected by the speed and configuration of each
element within its infrastructure, such as switchers and routers. The VN-Matrix 300 will
achieve optimum transmission results over a dedicated 1 Gbps network (Gigabit Ethernet).
