Liberty AV IPEXAR-2200-50
Arranger 2200 Series Controller
Description
The Liberty AV IPEXAR-2200-50 Arranger Controller represents a sophisticated Linux-based server appliance engineered specifically for managing DigitalinxIP 2200 series video endpoints across enterprise networks. This purpose-built control solution provides professional AV integrators with comprehensive management capabilities for installations supporting 1 to 50 endpoints, making it ideal for mid-sized conference facilities, educational campuses, corporate headquarters, and hospitality environments. The controller's intelligent architecture enables centralized configuration, monitoring, and control of distributed AV systems with the reliability and performance that mission-critical installations demand.
Designed with operational continuity as a priority, the IPEXAR-2200-50 features an automatic power-on function that ensures the control system is always running whenever power is available. This eliminates the need for manual intervention after power cycles or outages, providing peace of mind for facility managers and reducing service calls for remote installations. The controller comes pre-loaded with Liberty's Arranger software, which delivers an intuitive interface for configuring video routing, managing displays, and controlling sources across the entire AV network. A license key is provided with purchase, streamlining deployment and activation.
Network integration is straightforward, requiring only a hardwired Ethernet connection to the DigitalinxIP AV network. This direct network attachment ensures reliable, low-latency control communication with all connected endpoints while maintaining separation from general IT traffic when properly configured. The IPEXAR-2200-50 is backward compatible with Liberty's 2100 series products for video distribution applications, providing flexibility for phased system upgrades and mixed deployments. Whether managing digital signage in retail environments, coordinating classroom displays in educational settings, or orchestrating presentation systems in conference centers, this controller delivers the enterprise-grade performance and reliability that professional installations require.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the maximum number of endpoints this controller can manage?
The IPEXAR-2200-50 is designed to control and manage between 1 and 50 DigitalinxIP video endpoints on a network. This capacity makes it suitable for medium-scale installations such as multi-room conference centers, educational facilities with multiple classrooms, or corporate environments with distributed displays. For larger installations requiring more than 50 endpoints, Liberty AV offers higher-capacity controller models in the Arranger series, including the IPEXAR-2200-100 for 51-100 endpoints.
Does this controller require special network configuration?
The IPEXAR-2200-50 requires a hardwired Ethernet connection to the DigitalinxIP AV network for system control. While it can operate on a standard corporate network, many integrators choose to implement a dedicated AV VLAN or separate network segment to ensure quality of service and minimize latency for video distribution. The controller communicates with endpoints using standard Ethernet protocols, making it compatible with existing network infrastructure while providing the specialized control functions needed for professional AV systems.
Is the Arranger software included with the controller?
Yes, the IPEXAR-2200-50 comes pre-loaded with Liberty AV's Arranger software, which is specifically designed for configuring, managing, and controlling DigitalinxIP 2200 series devices. The software provides a comprehensive interface for video routing, display management, source control, and system monitoring. A license key is included with purchase, enabling immediate deployment without additional software acquisition costs. The pre-configuration significantly reduces installation time and ensures compatibility across all system components.
Can this controller work with older DigitalinxIP products?
The IPEXAR-2200-50 offers backward compatibility with Liberty's DigitalinxIP 2100 series products for video distribution applications. This compatibility provides valuable flexibility when upgrading existing systems or integrating legacy equipment into new installations. However, for optimal performance and access to the latest features, Liberty AV recommends using 2200 series endpoints with the 2200 series controller. For video wall applications specifically, Liberty requires that all components be from the same series to ensure synchronized operation and consistent performance.
