11 1 Introduction Overview The VideoEdge IP Encoder (hereafter referred to as IP Encoder) offers high performance IP video streams for up to four analog video sources. The IP Encoder is specifically designed for security video which produces compressed video that is up to nine times more efficient than MPEG-4 and MJPEG products. The IP Encoder is available in two models: Power over Ethernet (PoE), and Power Supply (PS). An Intellex IP System offers a highly reliable digital video management system with the flexibility, scalability, and improved performance of IP. It is compatible with Network Client and all third party applications developed using the Intellex API, so it is remotely accessible, network ready, and easy to integrate with other equipment. The IP Encoder is an ACC video encoder that converts analog video from our existing cameras and domes into a network compatible IP signal used by Intellex IP and the Intellex Virtual Matrix. System Configurations In order to achieve optimal system performance it is highly recommended that your Intellex IP is running the most recent version of software available on the American Dynamics product website. Intellex IP Figure 1-1 Example of an IP Encoder in a simple Intellex IP Network Figure 1-1 shows an example system configuration where the IP Encoder is connected to an Intellex IP network along with other IP camera sources. In this example the IP Encoder is connected directly to the Intellex IP. 1-1

12 Introduction Figure 1-2 Example of an IP Encoder in a full system installation Figure 1-2 shows an example system configuration where the IP Encoder is installed as part of a full Intellex IP Network. In this example the IP Encoder is connected to the Intellex through a network switch. Features Connections The VideoEdge IP Video Encoder has the following physical connections: 4 Composite BNC 75 ohm connectors for connection to analog cameras; 4 RJ45 Serial ports for use with PTZ camera control, text input; 1 Sensornet port for use with a Sensornet network; 4 Event (Alarm) inputs and 6 Event (Alarm) outputs (output alarms not supported at this release); 4 Audio input/output one for each camera (not supported at this release); Power jack for use with the power supply model; and 1 RJ45 network connection for connection to the 10/100 BaseT Ethernet network. 1-2 Installation and User Guide

13 Introduction ACC Compression Three quality levels (Super, Normal, and Extended Record) are available for each camera. Two sensitivity levels (Normal and High) are available for each camera. Frame Rates Table 1-1 Frame rates NTSC PAL 120 4CIF 100 4CIF 120 2CIF 100 2CIF 120 CIF 100 CIF The IP Encoder supports a maximum or 30/25 (NTSC/PAL) images per second per video channel at 4 CIF. Actual frame rates may be less due to high motion. Multiple Ethernet connections (Browser and/or Intellex IP) can limit the maximum available IPS rate per connection. For best imaging performance with PTZ cameras operating at 4 CIF, it is highly recommended to have a High Sensitivity setting on Intellex IP. Resolutions Table 1-2 Resolution NTSC PAL 320x240 pixels ( 1) 320x288 pixels ( 1) 352x240 pixels 352x288 pixels 640x240 pixels ( 1) 640x288 pixels ( 1) 704x240 pixels ( 1) 704x288 pixels ( 1) 640x480 pixels 704x480 pixels 640x576 pixels 704x576 pixels 1: For use with Live Video feature only. Video Loss Detection In the event of video loss, an alarm is generated. The alarm is automatically cleared when the video is restored. Bandwidth Throttling The IP Encoder supports bandwidth throttling and is set on a individual camera and client basis. The maximum bandwidth is selectable between 30 kb/s and 4 Mb/s. The Bandwidth throttling is configured on the Intellex IP. 1-3

Refer to page 3-1, Web Configuration for more information. 1-4 Installation and User Guide

15 2 Installation The IP Encoder can be rack mounted, wall mounted or desk mounted. For a rack mount installation three IP Encoders must be used. Up to 16 IP Encoders, supplying a maximum of 16 video inputs, can be connected to one Intellex IP unit. PoE networks that are connected to IP Encoders should not be routed to the exterior or outside of the installed plant location. The method of installing the IP Encoder will vary depending on the type of IP Encoder, i.e Power over Ethernet (PoE) or Power Supply (PS), and the network configuration of the installation environment. The two standard methods of installing the IP Encoder are: Method A Pre-configuration of the IP Encoder; Method B Post-configuration of the IP Encoder. Method A Pre-configuration of the IP Encoder; occurs before physical installation to the network. This method is suited to larger installations where a number of IP Encoders are to be installed on the same site at the same time. The advantage of Method A in this case is the IP Encoders will have their network settings and identification configured before their connection to the Intellex IP. This allows easier identification of each IP Encoder when using the Intellex IP to set the video parameters for each device. Method A must be used where the Intellex IP TCP/IP settings are on a different subnet address to the IP Encoder default settings ( / ). Using this method will ensure TCP/IP settings match the subnet of the Intellex before the unit is connected to the Intellex network. Method B Post-configuration of the IP Encoder; occurs after physical installation to the network. This method is suited to smaller network configurations or where only one IP Encoder is being added and configured at a time. In order to use Method B, the Intellex IP TCP/IP settings must be on the same subnet address to the IP Encoder default settings ( / ). 2-1
