The Savant IP Video Single Output Receiver 4K UHD with Control (PAV-VOM1CP2) is a sophisticated component designed for high-quality audio/video distribution within a Savant smart home or commercial environment. This device acts as a receiver in an IP-based video distribution system, capable of delivering 4K UHD video content with integrated control capabilities. It is an integral part of a larger Savant Audio/Video over IP solution, requiring a Savant System Host, a Savant qualified 10G Managed Network Switch, and a Savant User Interface (Pro App) for full functionality.
The primary function of the PAV-VOM1CP2 is to receive and decode IP-based video and audio signals, converting them into a standard HDMI output for display on a television or monitor. It supports 4K UHD resolutions, ensuring a high-fidelity visual experience. Beyond video, the receiver also handles audio pass-through for all HDMI 2.0 audio formats, providing a comprehensive AV solution.
A key feature of this receiver is its integrated control capabilities. It includes an RS-232 port for serial control of connected devices, allowing for seamless integration with a wide range of AV equipment. Additionally, an IR Emitter connection enables the transmission of infrared signals to control devices that respond to IR commands, further expanding its control versatility. The device is powered via Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+), simplifying installation by eliminating the need for a separate power supply at the receiver's location, provided it is connected to a compatible PoE+ switch.
The PAV-VOM1CP2 is designed for flexible deployment within a network. It connects to a 10G managed network switch, which is crucial for handling the high bandwidth requirements of 4K video distribution. The device features a 10GbE RJ-45 port for this primary network connection, supporting various Ethernet cable types (Cat6, Cat6a, Cat7) for different transport distances.
For local display, the receiver offers an HDMI Out port, a 19-Pin Type A HDMI female digital audio/video output with a locking connector, supporting HDMI 2.0a. This ensures a secure and reliable connection to displays, especially important for professional installations.
Control integration is robust. The RS-232 port allows for two-way serial communication with controllable devices, making it suitable for integrating with projectors, displays, or other serial-controlled equipment. The IR Out port, using a 3.5 mm IR Emitter, provides a convenient way to control devices that lack network or serial control options.
The front panel of the device provides visual indicators for its operational status. A Power LED indicates whether the main board is powered. A Video LED shows if a video signal is detected. LinkTX and LinkRX LEDs provide feedback on the Ethernet link status and data transmission/reception, respectively. A general Status LED offers additional operational insights. These LEDs are invaluable for quick troubleshooting and verifying proper operation without needing to access the Savant software.
A unique aspect of the PAV-VOM1CP2 is its secondary LAN port. This 1G Ethernet port is reserved for network data bandwidth and is commonly used to connect other network-compliant devices, allowing them to share the 10G network link. This feature can be useful for integrating other network devices into the AV system without requiring additional network drops. However, it is explicitly noted that this port should not be connected to a network switch.
The PAV-VOM1CP2 incorporates features that aid in both initial setup and ongoing maintenance. The device includes a Reset button on the front panel. Holding this button down with a pointed stylus for 20 seconds while powering up the device will restore it to factory default settings. This is a crucial feature for troubleshooting or reconfiguring the device if it becomes unresponsive or if settings need to be reverted. The Status LED provides visual feedback during this reset process.
For network configuration, Savant recommends using DHCP reservation within the router. This approach ensures that the IP address of the PAV-VOM1CP2 remains consistent even after power outages, simplifying network management and avoiding the need to individually access devices for IP address configuration. This method centralizes IP address management, making it easier to maintain the system.
Physical installation is also designed for ease of maintenance. The device comes with mounting brackets and screws, allowing for secure attachment. When mounting, Savant recommends aligning the device with the rear facing down to optimize heat dissipation, which is important for the long-term reliability and performance of the unit. The device can also be rack-mounted using an optional rack-mount kit (RCK-PAVVM8), providing flexibility for different installation environments.
The front panel LEDs (Power, Video, LinkTX, LinkRX, Status) serve as immediate diagnostic tools. A quick glance can inform an installer or user about the device's power status, video signal presence, and network connectivity, allowing for rapid identification of potential issues without delving into complex network diagnostics. For example, if the Video LED is off, it immediately indicates a lack of video signal, pointing towards a source or cable issue rather than a device malfunction.
The robust design, including support for PoE+ and secure HDMI connections, contributes to reduced maintenance needs by ensuring reliable operation. The provision of detailed documentation, such as the Savant IP Video Deployment Guide and Network Configuration Guide, further supports maintenance by providing comprehensive information for troubleshooting and system optimization.
