Frequently Asked Questions
How are DL.3 fixture IP addresses determined? In environments that utilize
numerous DL.3s, is there risk of IP address conflicts?
DL.3 fixture IP addresses are determined one of two ways:
1. When using DHCP server (like router) IP
is generated automatically
2. Without router IP is generated randomly by Windows called Auto IP
The generation of IP addresses is handled just as IP addresses are handled for Wi
ndow networks
Is there a limit to the Ethernet cable run l
ength from the fixtures to the CMA?
Ethernet Cat 5 limit is 100 meters. F
or longer distances use a router that takes fiber input to
Cat 5 output as for typical
Ethernet distribution.
What is the longest length High End Systems has t
ested for camera video
distribution?
High End has tested up to 1000 feet of quality Cat
5 without noticing degradation of signal.
Does DL.3 support the file format “MPEG-4”?
MPEG-4 is not currently supported. Convert orig
inal graphics and video to MPEG 2.
