Introduction
1. About This Manual
This User Manual provides information on operating and managing the ANT-32000A in a video surveillance
system. The Manual includes instructions for installation, operation and configuration of the ANT-32000A as
well as troubleshooting. ANT-32000A will be used as a generic part number and where SDI is mentioned
this will refer to the ANT-320000AS only. All other features are common to both A and AS versions.
2. Features
ANT-32000A is a video and audio transmission system that provides surveillance and control over
remote audio and video, based on an IP network through a LAN, ADSL/VDSL, and Wireless LAN.
ANT-32000A operates in Encoder mode or Decoder mode. Encoder mode compresses video data and
transmits it. Decoder mode receives the video data and decompresses it.

5. System Modes and Connections
ANT-32000A operates in one of two modes; Encoder, Decoder. ANT-32000A systems can be connected
in either 1-to-1 fashion where one encoder is connected to one decoder or 1-to-many fashion where one
encoder is connected to many decoders.
Following chart shows data status of video, audio and serial data on each mode.

Therefore, the system modes are defined by the video communication and all system modes are
capable of bi-directional transmission of audio or serial data.
qTopology
Generally, the encoder and a decoder are connected in 1-to-1 mode. To support specific situations, 1-to-
multiple connections is also supported.
l1:1 Connection (Unidirectional Transmission).
Most commonly used configurations are 1 to 1 connections. An encoder is installed at a site where
video images can be transmitted and a decoder is installed at a central location to receive and view
the video images on monitors. Audio and serial data are transferred in either direction.
A decoder and encoder can be connected by setting the encoder’s address to the decoder’s remote
IP. (see network setup page)

l1:N Connection (Unidirectional Transmission).
In this configuration, a site can be monitored from many remote central locations. Although any
number of decoders can be connected to an encoder, in a real network environment, maximum
connections would be limited by network bandwidth . Multicasting would be recommended in this
mode otherwise the encoder is generating an individual stream for each decoder (simulcast) which
will limit number of decoders due to:
a) Network bandwidth
b) Encoder will run out of CPU processing power if too many streams are generated
Functionally, the VMS (Video Management System) PC based software can replace the decoder.
(see VMS manual for details)
qMulticast Mode
In a network supporting multicast mode, if Multicast is setup as a system protocol, you can use the
bandwidth efficiently regardless of the number of decoders. In 1:N connections, a large number of
decoders can receive audio and video data from an encoder by using a single streaming transmission.
lRelaying
In this arrangement, video and audio can be retransmitted from a center to another center. The
arrangement is useful when the network bandwidth at the site is limited while there is more than one

lVMS (Video Management System)
VMS (Video Management System) is a Windows based remote monitoring program to access
multiple encoders or decoders for real-time monitoring or control of the encoders/decoders and
connected cameras. Please refer to the VMS User Manual for more information on VMS.

Installation
1. Connecting Video
qEncoder System
lConnecting with Megapixel Camera
Connect a camera which supports HDMI or SD/HD-SDI output to the HDMI or HD-SDI Input
port of ANT-32000A accordingly. (ANT-320000AS if you need SDI )
lConnecting with D1 resolution Camera
Connect a camera to the Composite Video Input port of ANT-32000A accordingly.
qDecoder System
Connect a monitor to HDMI , COMPOSITE or (HD-SDI) Output of ANT-32000A accordingly.
(ANT-320000AS if you need SDI )
2. Connecting Audio
Audio is bi-directional in any configuration regardless of the system mode (Encoder or Decoder).
If necessary, it can be configured to be in transmit-only, receive -only or bi-directional mode
lConnect audio input and output ports to audio devices accordingly.
lAudio signal is at line level, therefore, a microphone or speaker with an amplification function
should be used
3. Connecting Serial Ports
For camera control, PTZ controller (keyboard) and receiver can be connected to the serial ports. Two
corresponding serial ports in encoder and decoder, which are connected in a 1-to-1 fashion ,works in
pass-through mode. This means that commands at a local system’s COM1 port will be transparently
passed to the remote system’s COM1 port. Also, a command at a local system COM2 port will pass to
the remote system’s COM2 port.
4. Connecting Sensor and Alarm
Connect sensor and alarm devices to the corresponding terminals .

5. Connecting Power
After confirming the power source, connect power adaptor and connect the 12VDC connector to the
system. After a short period the system will boot up into an operating mode
6. Check if it Works
Once the power is supplied to the camera, it will start booting. The system will boot up to an operating
mode after approximately 40-60 seconds. The green LED on the Ethernet port will flash indicating the
system is ready.
Software provided on the disc called True Manager allows you to check the IP address and other
network details of the camera. Please refer to the True Manager manual for instructions on how to find
the IP address of the camera and if required changing it.
qEncoder LED Display
Above LED status shows that camera is connected but a decoder is not connected. Once the encoder is
connected to a decoder, color of “LINK” LED will turn to green and “ DATA” LED will blink as video or
audio transmissions occur
qDecoder LED Display
Above LED status shows that the Decoder has started without connecting to an encoder. Once an
encoder is connected, the color of the “LINK” LED will turn to green and the “DATA” LED will blink as
video or audio data transmissions occur.

2. Remote Video Monitoring
There are two ways to view video when the connections are completed between a site and central
system. In order for correct operation, an IP address must be set accordingly. Please refer to True
Manager in Chapter 3 or Remote Setting in Chapter 4 for further details.
Default ID : admin
Default Password : 1234
qVideo Monitoring with Decoder System
Once the IP address is set in the remote IP address section of the decoder or the IP Camera, the
decoder system will connect to the encoder system or the IP Camera and start receiving the video
images. Normally, a monitor connected to the decoder will display video images.
qVideo Monitoring using Internet Explorer
Open Internet Explorer and enter the encoder’s IP address. The system will ask for confirmation to install
Active-X control. Once authorized, the Internet Explorer will start to display video images from the
encoder as shown below.
Default IP Address : http://192.168.10.100
