DUETE-2/DuetD-2 USER MANUAL
Visionary, Network Audio Video
5. Set IP.VLAN_TAG_STREAM to the VLAN configured for the AV stream Example: 1
6. Set IP.VLAN_TAG_DANTE to the VLAN configured for Dante network audio. Example: 2
7. Set IP.VLAN_TAG_EXPANSION to the VLAN configured for control data. Example: 3
8. Click Save to save the new settings. The unit will automatically reboot.
The unit is now configured with the new network settings.
Important: The port on the network switch the Duet-2 is connected to must also be configured as a trunk port and must be a tagged
member of assigned VLANs.
Once the initial configuration is complete, you will be primarily using the Vision Lite matrix routing control software (or other third-
party control systems) to route the encoder and decoder streams to each other. When using these systems, the STREAM.HOST
setting, described in the following sections, is automatically updated each time a routing/switch occurs.
In the absence of a control system, it is still possible to manually configure the stream settings. The instructions are included
below.
CONFIGURING STREAM SETTINGS (MANUALLY)
UNICAST MODE
The term unicast is used to describe a configuration where information is sent from one point to another point. A unicast
transmission sends IP packets to a single recipient on a network. It is possible to have multiple encoder and decoder units connected
in a system. However, in unicast mode, an encoder unit can communicate with only one decoder unit at a time (see Figure 1).
1. Access the web interface for the encoder and decoder units that will be using unicast mode.
2. Log in with
username
=admin
password=admin
3. Click the Configuration tab.
4. Set STREAM.MODE to Unicast.
5. On the encoder:
a. Click Save on to save the new settings. The unit will automatically reboot.
6. On the decoder:
a. Set STREAM.HOST to the IP address of the encoder that the decoder is tuned in to.
b. Click Save on to save the new settings. The unit will automatically reboot.
The units are now connected in unicast mode.
MULTICAST MODE
The term multicast is used to describe a configuration where information is sent from one or more points to a set of other points. For
example, a single encoder unit can transmit data to multiple decoder units. In addition, if multiple encoder units are used, each
encoder unit can transmit data to any decoder that is not already receiving data from another encoder unit (see Figures 2-5).
Note: Visionary’s DuetE-2 encoders default to a multicast stream based on their serial numbers. We recommend that you leave this
as the stream address unless the range (225.168.0.0–
225.169.255.255)
conflicts with other multicast streams on your network. If you
need to change the multicast stream address, please contact
support@vsicam.com for assistance.
