menus on screen.

automatically, without need to edit the network configuration.

select your Wi-Fi network and configure its password.

User Manual - 6

3. Settings

The first configuration of the unit has to be made with the remote control and optionally a USB keyboard

to ease the text input. Once the AX-TV is set-up for the first time it is possible to edit or complete the

cameras configuration remotely from a web browser.

screen. Select the character key with the arrow buttons and press [OK] to choose. Select the Next key

on the virtual keyboard to enter the text and move to the next text box. Press [Exit ]to exit the virtual

keyboard. The numbers can be typed directly with the number buttons of the remote control.

3.4. Cameras Configuration

Menu >> Settings >> Cameras configuration >> Cameras

The cameras used by the AX-TV and some display adjustments are defined on this screen.

The unit comes with a sample configuration that you can change. Select the Delete All button and press

OK: this option deletes the sample cameras and allows you to start with a blank configuration with the

default values.

In order to ease the addition of new cameras, it is advisable to enter first the user and password for the

Master Credentials (MC). The master credentials are the default user and password that will be used for

any new camera unless you uncheck the ‘Use MC’ option and enter a particular root and password for the

camera.

The Monitor option configures the aspect of the AX-TV video output. It is 16:9 by default, but if most of

the cameras have a 4:3 aspect it is recommendable to put the monitor in 4:3

The Show Name checkbox is used to overwrite the camera names on the video. The button .com in the

remote control can change its status as well.

You can add the cameras manually editing this table or by means of the auto-detection tool. You can

combine both methods, as well as edit a camera added by auto-detection.

3.4.1. Cameras configuration: Manual edition

The following parameters are needed to set-up a new camera:

IP/URL address of the camera or the VX / NVX recorder you want to display

Port: It is the video TCP port. By default, 80 and should only be changed if necessary.

View: A camera may have several extra views, as well a VX/NVX recorder have several video channels.

The View field specify the view or channel number. The default view is 1.

Credentials: Check Use MC to use the master credentials defined for all the cameras or uncheck it to

specify a particular user and password for the camera.

User Manual - 9

Aspect: The aspect-ratio is set in automatic by default. This way the AX-TV chooses the best resolution

for the camera in every moment depending on the viewer size.

Name: You can change the camera name here. To show this name on live video, mark the check-box

Show Name or press the button [.com] on the remote control when the AX-TV is in operation.

Movie: You can select one of the AX-TV channels to show a commercial video instead of a live camera.

The configuration of the movie is explained in a later chapter.

Codec: Choose which video format to request the camera: JPEG or H264.

Onvif: Check this option to connect the camera using the Onvif protocols. Otherwise the Axis protocols

will be used.

Modify Profile: Check this option to let the AX-TV modify the Onvif profile in the camera to optimize it to

the visualization needs. Otherwise the video stream is used as it is configured in the camera. By default,

this option is checked, and the AX-TV is allowed to modify the Onvif profile video. Uncheck it if for

example the camera only has one configurable profile and it is being used by a video recorder.

Once finished press the [Exit ] button and wait until the connection to the cameras is checked, and the

video is shown on screen. If an error occurs check the camera configuration.

3.4.2. Cameras configuration: Adding cameras with auto-detection

Select Autodetect Axis Cameras or Autodetect Onvif Cameras and you will get a list of the cameras

detected in your local network.

Note: if a camera is not installed in the same network segment of the AX-TV, or it is not detected for any

other reason, you can always add it manually as explained in the previous title.

Once the cameras have been detected the result is shown as follows:

If you think there haven’t been detected all the cameras, click on Refresh to launch a new autodetection.

User Manual - 10

This screen lets you define the camera configuration, but the IP and port that are autodetected. The

parameter Camera nº refers to the position of the camera in the list of cameras. The rest of the

parameters are explained in the previous title.

Select Check Camera to check the camera configuration and see an image from the camera

Select Add Camera to include in the list of cameras of the AX-TV or select Cancel to return to the

autodetection list without saving changes.

3.5. Movie Configuration

In this section you can define the movie to playback instead of a camera. This way it is possible to show

on screen a commercial video in quadrants among other camera views or in full screen as well.

The selection of the ‘camera’ that shows the movie is made in the Cameras Configuration screen (Movie

option).

The movie has to be a video recorded in .mp4, .mkv, .mpg or .avi format. The recommended resolution is

1280x720 or lower.

Copy the movie into a microSD card or a USB memory and plug it in the AX-TV. The AX-TV detects the

movie formats and shows the compatible files in the drop-down list. Choose the video you want to show.
