How to install Matrox ConvertIP DSH

• Plan your network and signal paths by identifying the sources and destinations for ST 2110/IPMX streams, and determine which gateways or bridge points are needed for your layout.
• Position the ConvertIP DSH at a convenient rack or desk location; connect HDMI sources to the HDMI input and link the HDMI output to your display or monitoring station, ensuring correct EDID handling where applicable.
• Connect the RJ45 Ethernet port to your management network for device control, monitoring, and configuration access; attach the two SFP28 ports to your IP fabric or fiber links as required by your topology.
• Power up the device and access the built-in web-based management interface or preferred management software; initialize the basic settings such as device name, IP address, gateway, and time synchronization.
• Configure the ST 2110/IPMX streams, gateway behavior, and endpoint mappings according to your workflow. Save the configuration and perform a reboot if prompted to apply changes.
• Validate signal paths with test feeds, confirming correct routing, timing, and quality across the HDMI path and IP networks; adjust QoS, VLAN tagging, or stream parameters as needed to optimize performance.
