Power and Connect

Updated on

Prism 1RU/2RU

  1. Connect 100-240v A/C power to the power input on Prism via the enclosed IEC cable. Connect a second cable if your device includes a supplemental power supply.
  2. Connect one or both of Prism’s 10/100/1000 Ethernet ports to a network switch or router using an Ethernet cable.
  3. Connect SDI video sources to any input BNCs corresponding to installed encoder cards.
  4. Connect SDI outputs via BNC cable to your monitor/switcher/router.
  5. Using the menu joystick, navigate to the Network Settings menu on the front panel. Select a Wired interface, then verify that the IP Mode is set to DHCP.
  6. Once Prism is connected to a network, the front panel will display the current assigned or configured IP address for both Ethernet ports.

Prism Flex

  1. Encoder: Turn your video source on, then connect the HDMI or SDI input (J) from your video source to Prism Flex’s input connector.
    Decoder: Turn your monitor on, then connect the HDMI or SDI output (K) from your Prism Flex to the monitor’s input connector.
  2. Attach the two Wi-Fi antennas to the RP-SMA connectors (C).
  3. Connect power to Prism Flex using the included A/C adapter.
  4. Turn the Power switch on the back (L) to the ON position.

Prism Mobile

  1. Turn your video source on, then connect the HDMI or SDI video input to Prism Mobile’s input connector (J).
  2. Attach four antennas to the SMA connectors (C). NOTE: Prism Mobile only uses SMA antennas. Standard Wi-Fi (RP-SMA) antennas are not compatible with Prism Mobile.
  3. Connect power to Prism Mobile using the included A/C adapter, or if equipped with battery plate accessories, attach a compatible battery (Gold or V mount).
  4. Turn the Power switch (L) to the ON position.
  5. Insert a SIM card (two per Node II) into one of the Prism Mobile SIM card slots. NOTE: Prism Mobile is equipped with two internal modems (A and B). Each modem supports two SIM cards (A1/A2, B1/B2). To use both modems together, insert a SIM card into one or both modems' SIM slots.
  6. If the SIM card is not detected, connect your computer to Prism’s AP network (see WIRELESS NETWORK), then enter the default IP address 172.16.1.1 in the navigation bar to access the web UI and configure the internal modem from the Network menu.

Access the Web UI

Once Prism is connected to a network, you can access the web UI and configure stream destinations, encoder parameters, and other settings for each card.

  1. Prism 1RU/2RU: Press ▼ on the card’s menu joystick to display Prism’s IP address on the front panel.
    Prism Flex/Mobile: Press the menu button to cycle through the menus to display Prism’s IP address (Ethernet or WiFi).
  2. Enter the IP address in your web browser’s navigation bar.
  3. If the security password feature is enabled, enter the password.
