Introduction

SA-6000E encoders and SA-6000D decoders provide the flexible, powerful,

and scalable solution at resolutions up to 3840 x 2160@60Hz 4:2:0, 3840 x

2160@30Hz 4:4:4. They allow 4K UHD media to be switched and distributed

over standard gigabit Ethernet networks, providing complete end-to-end

streaming systems. Audio, video together with IR, and USB signals can be

routed separately or as a whole throughout the matrix system. Encoders can

be used with decoders to function video wall up to the dimensions of 16 x 16.

Both of them have the capacity to handle and output up to 7.1 channel audio,

allowing you to enjoy the finest sound.

HDCP 2.2 specifications are employed. A local area network is covered with

a range up to 330ft (100m) over a single Cat 5e cable or above. Standard

features like bi-directional serial, bi-directional IR, and independent analog

audio input/output are included. The codecs allow USB extension to take

place to control a keyboard and a mouse. They offer integration-friendly

control features -- the front panel link DIP switch, Windows PC configurator

(Apollo Configurator), Apollo Visual Composer Touch on iPad and IP control

box (SA-C), providing simple, flexible control and management options. They

are the perfect solution for any low latency and signal routing applications.

Common applications include homes, classrooms, conference rooms and

broadcasts.

signals to be routed separately or as a whole throughout the matrix

system.

Allows AV, USB, IR, RS232 and power signals to be delivered up to

330ft/100m over a single Cat 5e cable or above.

Allows video output to follow input resolution or to convert the input

resolution to 3840 x 2160@30Hz 4:4:4 and 1080p@60Hz.

Supports HDMI input and output transmission distance up to 50ft/15m.

1 ~ 2 fps latency.

Supports bi-directional serial communication, allowing control of remote

RS232 devices between encoders/decoders and IP control box, or

between encoders and decoders.

Supports bi-directional IR pass-through, allowing control of remote

source and display devices between encoders and decoders.

complies with USB 2.0 standard.

Decoder offers two USB type A ports to directly connect to a keyboard

and a mouse and complies with USB 2.0 standard, providing +5 VDC at

up to 500 mA to connected USB peripherals.

Supports Mouse Roaming. (See Configuring Mouse Roaming section for

more information)

Supports point-to-point, point-to-multipoint, multipoint-to-point,

multipoint-to-multipoint applications.

equipment such as a PoE-enabled Ethernet switch, eliminating the need

for a nearby power outlet.

Supports user-selectable output HDCP configuration via PC configurator.

Fit in/stretch out video wall, and rotate video management -- Decoded

video can fill a video wall, maintain aspect ratio in a video wall, or can be

rotated 180°and 270°clockwise, presenting imagery that meets

customer expectations.

Supports Auto IP, zero-configuration networking (zeroconf), a set of

special technologies that automatically assign dynamic IP addresses to

the devices on startup and a server-less method of choosing an IP

address.

Works with multiple operation tools, the front panel link DIP switch,

Windows PC configurator, Apollo Visual Composer Touchon iPad and IP

control box for device control and management.

Supports communications protocols used on the Ethernet such as

TCP/IP, ARP, DHCP, ICMP (ping), IGMP, UDP.

Solid on: SA-6000E is connected to both an active

video source and SA-6000D.

Blinking: SA-6000E is disconnected from an active

video source. / SA-6000E is disconnected from

SA-6000D.

Off: SA-6000E is powered off or in the boot process.

3 Mode

Use this switch to toggle between normal and debug

modes.

Normal (Default): In this mode, you can connect the

rear panel RS232 port to a RS232 device such as a

computer for bi-directional serial communication

with a RS232 device on the IP control box side.

Debug: In this mode, you can connect the rear

panel RS232 port to a RS232 device such as a

computer for debugging SA-6000E.

4 DIP

This DIP switch consists of four manual switches, which

are used to route audio, video together with IR, and

USB signals between SA-6000E and SA-6000D based

on their positions. By default, each individual switch is in

the up position. For more information, see "Using DIP

Switch to Perform Routing".

Note:

For the DIP switches in both encoder and decoder,

changes to them take effect immediately without

rebooting the system.

4 Audio In

Connect this 3.5 mm stereo tip-ring-sleeve port to an

audio source such as a computer for unbalanced stereo

Note: When this audio port is connected to an audio source,

both encoder and decoder will output the audio signal from the

audio source instead of that from the HDMI video source. If this

audio port is connected via an audio cable but no audio signals

are input, you can get picture but no sound. The situations above

do not apply to the HDMI loop-through port in encoder, which can

still output the AV signals from the video source.
