I am an AV Integrator, is IPTV for me? |
| Answer: |
|
As an AV integrator you are already in-tune with the essence of what IPTV is, the
need for audio and video. The equipment needed to create content is microphones,
mixers, cameras, monitors, etc. The natural "next step" is to provide your customer
with the delivery methods.

IPTV is for the "IT" integrators right? |

cover the IP aspect, while IT integrators need to expand to cover the AV aspect.

| Question: |
|
I tried connecting to an Edje4000 with a serial cable and mediaControl and still
can't reset the IP address. Can I reset it? |
| Answer: |
|
Yes. In this case you will have to do a hard reset, resetting the unit to factory
defaults. This can be done by shorting pins 1 & 4 (Left-right) of the GPIO
connector on the back and power cycling the unit with the pins shorted. The unit
should now be on the factory default IP address 192.168.10.48
