The ELAN Video Over IP solution requires a layer 3 Managed switch in order for
HDMI distribution to be achieved reliably and with no loss in performance.
The following guide is a step-by-step instruction on how to connect and configure
your Pakedge SX-24P Layer 3 Managed network switch. These instructions may
be suitable for other Pakedge switches. Please see Pakedge’s product manuals for
further information.
Introduction
The following features need to be enabled on the Pakedge network switch:-
1. Layer 3 mode
2. Maximum Transmission Units
3. IGMP Snooping/Video Over IP
4. Fast Leave
5. POE (if utilised)
Feature explanation:
• Video Over IP (one-to-many or many-to-many distribution) is group communication where information is addressed
to a group of network devices simultaneously (ELAN Video Over IP products).
• Maximum transmission units - Jumbo frames are Ethernet frames with more than 1500 bytes of payload.
Conventionally, jumbo frames can carry up to 9000 bytes of payload hence the maximum transmission units must be
raised in order to send large packets of data for HDMI distribution.
• IGMP management & snooping is the process of listening to Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) network
traffic. The feature allows a network switch to listen in on the IGMP conversation between hosts, routers & receivers
(Video Over IP Transmitter, network switch and Video Over IP Receiver). By listening to this flow of traffic the switch
maintains a map of which links need which IP Video Over IP streams. (which ELAN Video Over IP products are active
and where the signal is being distributed to).
