How to Install Hall VERSA-4K 4K Video & USB over IP

Setting up the VERSA-4K is designed to be straightforward, delivering the benefits of a networked AV matrix with familiar Ethernet infrastructure. Follow these general steps to deploy in a typical classroom, meeting space, or digital signage scenario.

1) Prepare your network and location. Ensure you have a Gigabit Ethernet network or switch capable of handling multiple streams with sufficient headroom. Identify a central location for the transmitter (the HDMI source) and plan receiver placements near displays or workstations. Confirm power supplies for the transmitter and each receiver, and ensure any necessary RS-232 or IR control paths can reach the target devices.

2) Connect the video and USB sources. Attach your HDMI source to the VERSA-4K transmitter input. If you intend to extend USB peripherals (such as keyboards, mice, or flash drives), connect them to the transmitter’s USB ports. This establishes the primary source and peripheral access that will be extended to all receivers on the network.

3) Link the network. Connect the transmitter to the Gigabit network switch using standard Ethernet cabling. Connect each receiver to the same network, ideally in proximity to the displays or conference rooms where the content will be consumed. Power on all devices and verify the network links are active.

4) Connect receivers to displays and peripherals. Each receiver is placed near a display or monitor. Connect the receiver’s HDMI output to the display input, and attach any local USB devices you want available on that receiver’s end. If you’re using IR, RS-232, or audio extensions, connect those paths according to your control and audio routing needs.

5) Configure and test the system. Access the management interface or follow the on-device prompts to pair receivers with the transmitter. Test video quality at the relevant resolutions, verify USB device recognition across multiple receivers, and confirm IR/RS-232 control functions are correctly routed. Run a quick latency check to ensure real-time performance aligns with your application requirements.

6) Optimize for deployment. Depending on your environment, consider labeling, room-based naming, and VLAN or QoS settings on your network to ensure priority for AV traffic. If you expand to many rooms, reuse the same transmitter and add more receivers to grow your matrix without additional cabling challenges.

7) Maintenance and support. Periodically check firmware updates from Hall for the VERSA-4K, back up configuration settings, and document your receiver locations and room assignments for easy future expansion. The IP-based approach makes troubleshooting faster and more scalable compared to traditional long HDMI runs.

Why choose VERSA-4K—In environments where space, aesthetics, and performance matter, the VERSA-4K offers a clean, scalable, and future-ready path to deliver content, control, and collaboration across multiple rooms. Its 4K capability ensures you won’t outgrow the system as display technology evolves, while USB extension keeps peripheral access simple and centralized. The integrated IR and RS-232 support makes it straightforward to control projectors, displays, and room devices from a single HDMI source, reducing complexity and maintenance.
