Hardware: Setting Up the Network
It is not necessary to connect SmartView Duo to a computer in order to view SDI video and you can skip this
section if you simply want to view video without making any adjustments. However if you wish to remotely
adjust the monitor settings, a network connection will be required.
SmartView Duo has two 10/100Base-T Ethernet ports. You can connect the IN port to a network switch or
directly to an Ethernet port on your computer. The OUT port can be connected to additional SmartView
Duo units or to other network devices such as a Videohub router. Power must be supplied to all SmartView
Duo units for Ethernet daisy-chaining to work.
If you want to connect several SmartView Duo units without using IP addresses from your existing studio
network, or if you don't have an existing network, simply connect them directly to the Ethernet port on your
computer. This is also a fast way to connect SmartView Duo units via Ethernet as you don't need to run any
cables back to a network switch.
If you want to connect several SmartView Duo units to your studio's network, you only need to connect one
SmartView Duo to the network switch and the rest can be daisy-chained to each other so you don't have to
run multiple cables back to a network switch. Power must be supplied to all units for daisy-chaining to work.
Connecting SmartView Duo to a network switch means that any Mac or Windows PC on the network can
change SmartView settings. Any Mac or Windows laptop computer can also change SmartView settings via
a WiFi connection if your network includes a wireless access point.
