SVSI N2122A/N2222A/N2212A JPEG 2000 Video Over IP Series
The N2122A/N2222A/N2212A JPEG 2000 Video over IP series provides a flexible,
feature-rich, and simple-to-deploy Digital Media Distribution and Switching solution
satisfying the most demanding applications. N2122A Encoders are used to encode and
distribute sources of almost any format onto an existing IP network making that stream
available to any endpoint in the facility. N2222A/N2212A Decoders are used to decode
the Networked AV streams back to HDMI format for display on any monitor. With the
ability to direct any source stream to any display, large, low-cost switching and
distribution systems are simple to deploy without proprietary cabling or dedicated
switching hardware. These devices are AES67
compatible, which enables high-
performance audio-over-IP streaming interoperability.This quick start guide will
familiarize you with your new device and step you through initial setup.
N2000 devices are shipped with as their default IP mode. The IP address is DHCP
assigned automatically based on the network DHCP server. If no DHCP server is found,
the unit will use mode instead (with a default IP address of 169.254.xxx.xxx).Auto IP
Before using your N2000 unit, it must be configured using the free N-Able device
management software. However, you will not be able to configure units until they are in
the same subnet as the host computer. The sample steps below show how the required
changes (to the host computer’s IP settings) are made in a Windows environment.
Steps for IP address configuration (for Windows 8):
1. From the dialog box, select Control Panel > Network and Internet Network and
2. Select .Change adapter settings
3. Select the wired interface connected to your AV network.
4. Click the button.Properties
5. Scroll down in the list to the Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) option.
Highlight it and click the button.Properties
6. Enable the option, and enter the static IP addressUse the following IP address
provided to you by your network administrator.
NOTE: If the computer does not need Internet access, you can simply enter a unique
169.254.xxx.xxx IP address with a 255.255.0.0 Subnet mask. Please contact your
network administrator if you are unsure of how to configure the existing interface. If the
computer has a statically-assigned IP address, click on the Advanced button. Then click
Add to enter a unique 169.254.xxx.xxx address with a subnet of 255.255.0.0.
Steps for auto discovering devices on the network:
1. Use the host computer to download and install the latest version of N-Able:

2. Attach your N2000 unit(s) to the layer-3 network switch.
3. Disable the wireless adapter on your computer (it must be hard-wired to the
4. Connect the host computer to the layer-3 network switch.
5. Open the N-Able application.
If all devices do not appear automatically, click the button on the Auto Discover
Unit Management tab. This issues a broadcast command that will discover all units
even if they are not in the same IP subnet.

Basic Installation Guidelines
Power: Connect the unit’s port to an active, PoE-enabled network PoE*: P0
External power supply: If not using PoE for power, connect a 12V
regulated power supply (part number N9312) to the unit’s two-pin
terminal block plug connector labeled .+12V 2A
Network: If using PoE to power the unit, you should already have a PoE units:
Externally powered units: If not using PoE, connect the port to the P0
network using an Ethernet cable, or connect the port to the network P1
with the appropriate cable (fiber transceiver or direct-attach cable is
Daisy-chain configuration: Once network connection is established to
one unit, you can daisy chain additional units by connecting Ethernet
cables between devices using their P0 and/or P1 ports. Keep in mind that
the number of units supported in this configuration is limited by
bandwidth (total aggregate streams must be less than 1 Gb/s).
NOTE: PoE power is only supplied to the unit connected
network. All other units in daisy-chain must have external power supply.
• For video encoding of a source, connect the source to the digital
Encoder’s port using a video cable with an HDMI connector HDMI IN
• For video encoding of an source, connect the source to the analog
Encoder’s port using a video cable with a VGA connector (or VGA IN
• For video decoding, connect a digital display to the Decoder’s HDMI
OUT port using a video cable with an HDMI connector (or adapter).
• For audio encoding, connect a line level analog audio source to the
