Troubleshooting Guidelines
Problem Possible Solutions
“Local Play” graphic is displayed. • Verify decoder is assigned to view a valid stream in
the N-Able matrix.
• Verify decoder is currently in “live play” mode
(black text on matrix view).
• Verify network is properly configured and set up. If
needed, connect encoder directly to decoder to
verify network issues.
“Host Play” graphic is displayed. • Verify encoder is in live play mode (black text in
matrix).
• Verify source is attached and is outputting a valid
signal (DVI light on encoder is lit).
“Unsupported Resolution” graphic
is displayed. • Change source resolution to a valid resolution (try
720p60).
• Verify cabling is correct.
“Copy Protected Content” screen is
displayed. • Contact SVSi technical support.
Black screen/no graphic is dis-
played. • Set decoder to local play. If the local play graphic
does not appear, check the display input settings
and cabling.
• If local play appears, set decoder to live play and
verify network is configured properly.
No Audio is detected. • If there is no audio on all decoders, verify audio
settings are correct on encoder.
• If there is no audio on a single decoder, verify
audio settings are correct on decoder.
Congratulations on the purchase of your N2000 series product — part of SVSi’s family of Networked AV
products. SVSi’s N2000 product line includes the N2121 and N2141 encoders and the N2211, N2221,
and N2241 decoders. An SVSi Networked AV system comprises video and/or audio encoders, decoders,
and other network accessories including recording solutions, multi-window processing, audio-only end
points, and system controllers. The system allows you to distribute HD Video, Audio and Control across
a gigabit Ethernet network. Options are available for recording, playback, and wall processing.
Network Bandwidth per video stream = 20-500Mbs (user-selectable). Units can be daisy-chained or connected
to a gigabit Ethernet layer-3 switch supporting IGMP-query. Please contact SVSi to obtain a pre-configured
switch, or more details regarding daisy-chaining limitations.
The DVI-I connector on the N2000 encoder auto-senses either analog or digital video and converts input
video to network packets for output through the RJ45 connector. Audio can be input as embedded digital
audio through the DVI-I connector or as balanced analog audio through the 5-pin phoenix AUDIO
connector. Both encoder and decoder can be powered either using the 12V optional external power
supply or by Power-over-Ethernet (PoE).
The N2000 series decoder accepts the network packets and reconstitutes synchronized video and audio
for display through its DVI-D port. Digital-only video is output by the decoder. IR and serial commands
can be transmitted by either encoder or decoder using SVSi's free N-Able configuration software, SVSi's
N8000-series controller, or using third party controllers. IR and RS232 serial ports are not pass-through
and must use a central controller to direct commands to each device.
