About the
Web-based
User Interface
NOTE: It is important that all devices within the VN‑Matrix network contain the same
version of firmware to avoid communication and compatibility issues. Check that each
device contains the same version of firmware by using the Device List page (see
page 26) of the web‑based user interface. To update the VNM Recorder firmware,
see the Firmware Updates section on page 63.

Overview of the Web-based User Interface
The web‑based user interface is an application that is used to configure the devices in a
VN‑Matrix network. It is accessed by using a web browser and entering in the IP address
of the controller device. The user interface allows for system level configuration and can be
used with any VN‑Matrix device that is connected to the controller device. The following list
outlines the configuration options that are available.
z Configure all VN‑Matrix devices that are connected to the controller device.
z Switch all VN‑Matrix 200 / 225 / 300 / 325 codec devices from encoders to decoders
and vice versa.
z Configure the type of compression that is applied to a stream.
z Choose the appropriate transport protocol that will be used between an encoder and a
decoder.
z Configure the specific types of elements that are distributed over a PURE3 stream.
