AV Manager Free

The “Ultimate Guide to Using an AV Manager Free Edition” refers to the comprehensive setup and operational practices for Semtech’s BlueRiver AV Manager. This is a free, open-source software turnkey application. It is endorsed by the SDVoE Alliance to configure, manage, and route Software Defined Video over Ethernet (SDVoE) systems.

Built on a full-stack JavaScript environment (React and Node.js), it communicates with hardware endpoints using the SDVoE RESTful API. It operates as a Progressive Web Application (PWA) optimized for touchscreens and tablets. 💻 Installation and Architecture

Supported OS: Runs on Windows 64-bit or Debian Linux 64-bit systems.

Network Setup: Must be deployed on the same network hosting your BlueRiver/SDVoE hardware endpoints.

PWA Access: Accessible through a standard browser by typing the host computer’s IP address. 🛠️ Core Operational Tools

The application is structured into three primary command pillars accessible from the main interface:

┌──────────────────────────────┐ │ BlueRiver AV Manager │ └──────────────┬───────────────┘ ┌───────────────────────┼───────────────────────┐ ▼ ▼ ▼ ┌─────────────────┐ ┌─────────────────┐ ┌─────────────────┐ │ MONITORING TOOL │ │ OPERATE TOOL │ │ CONFIGURE TOOL │ │ Check status, │ │ Matrix grid for │ │ Advanced setup, │ │ health, and │ │ routing signal │ │ video walls, & │ │ device health. │ │ intersections. │ │ multiview layout│ └─────────────────┘ └─────────────────┘ └─────────────────┘ 1. Monitoring Tool

Health Metrics: Displays detailed connectivity stats, firmware specs, and physical signal input/output interfaces. 2. Operate Tool

Matrix Grid: Features an intuitive X/Y axis layout where signal sources sit on the left and display destinations reside on top.

Signal Crosspoints: Clicking on a grid intersection routes the audio, video, or USB (HID/2.0) signal instantaneously. 3. Configure Tool

Behavior Management: Dictates stream resolution changes and individual device settings.

Layout Editors: Houses the foundational setup tools for complex physical environments like Video Walls and Multiview panels. 📐 Creating Advanced Layouts Video Wall Configuration

Open the wall editor in the Configure tool and choose “Create New Wall”.

Grid layout configuration dictates the rows and columns (e.g., 2×2 grid).

Define properties including the aspect ratio preference (Keep Aspect Ratio, Crop Source, or Stretch Source).

Set screen resolution and adjust pixel bezel compensation math based on physical monitor gaps.

Assign target RX (Receiver) or TR (Transceiver) hardware devices to their layout position and hit save. Multiview Configuration

Preset Generation: Built inside the Configuration layout panel.

Window Assignment: Use the Operate tool’s Multiview dashboard to place varying video sources inside segmented matrix layouts. 🎨 Developer Customization & White-Labeling

Because Semtech delivers the application with completely open source files, Pro AV equipment manufacturers and installers heavily use it to build their own software:

Re-Branding: Simple adjustment parameters let you modify application logos, system font layouts, and color frameworks.

Localization: Features clear dictionaries to translate the user interface into multiple native client languages.

If you are trying to configure a specific network setup, let me know how many AV endpoints you are connecting, your hardware model, or if you need help troubleshooting a video wall alignment. BlueRiver AVマネージャーソフトウェア – Semtech
