What it is

The Hall Research VERSA-4K sender is an AV-over-IP encoder that extends 4K HDMI video, USB 2.0, keyboard and mouse, IR, RS-232 and analog audio across a standard gigabit Ethernet network. It accepts up to 4K at 30Hz 4:4:4 with HDCP 2.2 and 1.4, carries an HDMI loop output for a local display, and is PoE powered.

Specs

Resolution: Up to 3840x2160 at 30Hz 4:4:4, HDCP 2.2 and 1.4

Type: ASPEED AV-over-IP endpoint, multicast group routing

Inputs: 1x HDMI input with loop output, USB, RS-232, IR, analog audio

Mounting: Surface or rack with the optional shelf

Setup

First Use: Put the device on the same subnet as the controller and connect to TCP port 9999. The device answers with a greeting line and a '> ' prompt; consume both before sending a command. The greeting carries the API version, for example 'VERSA-4K Telnet Server V1.2' - read it to learn which command set this firmware supports, because later firmware adds commands that V1.2 rejects as Invalid Command!. There is no authentication. The device takes a DHCP address by default and at most four clients may connect at once.

Video Optimization: Enable jumbo frames at 8000 on the device and on every switch port in the path; SET MTU requires a reboot. The sender accepts up to 4K at 30Hz 4:4:4 on its HDMI input.

CEC: Not available on API V1.2. Later firmware adds a CEC send command; read the greeting to determine whether it is present.

Switch: A sender publishes on its multicast group. Use GET CHANNEL to read the number it is publishing on, then set a receiver to the same number. Changing a sender's group with SET CHANNEL moves every receiver currently watching it.

Support

Tech Support Phone: +1 (408) 962-0515

Power Cycle: Remove PoE or the local power supply for ten seconds, or send RESTART DEVICE over the telnet API. The session drops and the device restarts.

Factory Reset: Send FACTORY RESET over the telnet API, or use the front-panel reset. This clears the device name, group and network settings.
