Q: Where can I get on-line support?
A: These guides will help you quickly and easily setup NetPlay Home or NetPlay Pro systems, go to NetPlay Home Setup

Q: How do I setup an AV over IP NetPlay IP Camera System?
A: Your network cameras can integrate directly into NetPlay as normal network sources. It doesn't matter if you have 1 camera or more than 100! You can view them all on any of your NetPlay enabled TVs. NetPlay supports up to 4K resolution cameras for full screen display. Substreams are also supported for Tiled display and PIP overlays.

Netplay features IP control of cameras with the PTZ (pan/tilt/zoom) functions. Simply use the onscreen controls to move the selected cameras. Camera Motion controls can trigger NetPlay Macros. Pop up a PIP overlay window with the camera feed whenever the event is triggered (including automatic resume timeouts).

Q: Can I use gaming boxes with this AV over IP System?
A: Xboxs, PS4s, etc would not be recommended sources because the distribution latency is impractical for gaming. A FireTV itself provides gaming options at each TV. Dedicated gaming boxes should be directly connected to the TVs or used with non-network matrix switchers.

Q: What are SplashTiles?
A: NetPlay integrates powerful digital signage and web info feeds seamlessly with network video. Easy switch between signage playlists, graphics overlays, web info feeds, and all your other NetPlay Video sources. SplashTiles brings the best the internet has to offer straight to all your TVs! Your personalized information feeds can keep you up to date at a glance. More details in our setup instructions.

SplashTiles can even pop up alerts, notifications, or weather radar as PIP windows over whatever you are watching. NetPlay Digital Signage is everything you need for commercial applications. Unlike the competition, NetPlay can transparently blend your graphics ON TOP OFF your video sources. Now you can add logos, specials, menus, and more without needing to dedicate entire TVs. Make sure ALL your customers see your message with NetPlay Digital Signage!

NetPlay Home AV over IP uses your standard home network for audio and video distribution. NetPlay Home integrates Ethernet, IR, RS232, and CEC control for all your connected source and display devices. This control is provided either via NetPlay Mobile app on your Android Mobile devices or directly at each TV using the NetPlayTV gui itself and the included remote controls. In fact, both control methods can be used at the same time by different users.

NetPlay TV devices with USB ports can use IRUSB to provide direct IR control of the attached TV, speakers, or AVR. CastHD can use IRUSB to provide direct IR control of your HDMI source devices. NetPlay Home can also be integrated in third party control systems using our existing drivers.

Wiring can be via any combination of ethernet technology. Cat5/5e/6 is the easiest and should be used whenever possible. For retrofit application, you can use existing RG59/RG6 coax via MOCA ethernet over coax. We recommend the ActionTec ECB2500 adapters. Wireless ethernet can be used as a last resort, since interference can degrade picture quality. NetPlay video streams are ~20Mbps each. NetPlay Mobile devices will use wireless ethernet, but at lower data rates.

See below for more details on planning your WolfPack NetPlay Home AV over IP system

NetPlay Home HDMI distribution: A NetPlay distribution system is a "virtual matrix" switch. You can add as many sources and displays as needed. Because NetPlay is a "decentralized" system, your sources do not need to be grouped together in a single location.

Live HDMI Sources: NetPlay Home uses network HDMI encoders to bring all your "live" HDMI sources into the matrix system. This will be any source device with a HDMI output that does not fall into the directly integrated categories below.

Camera Sources: IP cameras and most NVRs can be directly integrated in the matrix system without needing VTX encoders for these.

File Sources: File sources such as movie and music libraries can also be directly integrated in the matrix system. Both video and image sources or playlists can be used.

Web Sources: Web sources such as web pages or data feeds can also be directly integrated in the matrix system. Full support for HTML5, WebGL, and embedded iframes.

Streaming Services Sources: NetFlix, Amazon Video, Vudu, Hulu, and nearly all streaming services are directly supported as Apps running on your NetPlay TV devices. Any service which has an Android app is supported.

HDHomeRun Sources: Low cost HDHomeRun devices can be used to integrate over the air (OTA) broadcast and cable tv (cable card) content directly into the matrix system.

GoogleCast / ChromeCast Sources: All supported NetPlay TV devices include support for GoogleCast/ChromeCast. Either audio or Video can be directly streamed to any display from Android devices.

Android TV Displays: Sony and Sharp TVs running Android TV can integrate directly with NetPlay Home without requiring any additional equipment. NetPlayTV will run natively on these TVs.

Standard TV Displays: Standard TVs will use an external Android or Android TV device (running NetPlay TV app) to provide audio, video, and control to the TV via HDMI and optionally IR. Many popular devices are compatible with NetPlay TV, including Amazon Fire TV, nVidia Shield, and more.

Mobile players: Mobile devices (such as tablets and smart phones) can play back NetPlay video sources directly. NetPlay Home NetPlay Manager includes the required license for control and video preview on all your mobile devices. Full screen playback on mobile devices requires a supplemental license purchase.

NetPlay Home audio distribution: Your NetPlay Home display devices will receive synchronized audio via the same network stream as the video. This audio is always present on the HDMI output, but some devices may also have optical or analog outputs. Simply route the audio to your TV speakers or AVR just like any other source.

If you are using a "centralized" audio solution with in-wall/ceiling speakers that are hard wired back to a central equipment rack, please use NetPlay Pro residential guidelines.

NetPlay Home uses your standard home network for audio and video distribution: The network switch or switches will need 1 port for each NetPlayTV display and 1 port for each network HDMI encoder. Switches can be cascaded as needed, but make sure the interswitch connections are 1000mbps. NetPlay can use the same network as all the other devices in your home.

The network router will need a DHCP server enabled (this is default on nearly all routers). The network switch ports connecting to network HDMI encoder devices should be 1000mpbs capable. The ports for NetPlay TV devices should be 100mbps or higher. Most switches support both speeds. All NetPlay devices should be on the same subnet if possible. If this is not possible, routing rules must exist between the subnets. VLANs are not required or recommended. Devices should have access to the internet for app updates or cloud streaming.
