SYSTEM CONNECTIONS
Video Decoder operates in one mode; Decoder Video server 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 charts shows data status of video, audio and serial data.
The system mode is defined by the video communication and the system mode is capable of single
directional transmission of audio and bi directional serial data.
TOPOLOGY
Generally the encoder and decoder are connected in 1 to 1 mode to support specific situations, 1 to multiple
connections is also supported.
1:1 CONNECTION (UNIDIRECTIONAL TRANSMISSION).
The most
commonly used configuration is 1 to 1 connection. An encoder is installed at a site where video
images can be transmitted and a decoder is installed at a 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 encoders address at the decoders remote IP.
1:N CONNECTION (MULTIDIRECTIONAL TRANSMISSION).

Site

In this configuration, a site can be monitored from many remote centre locations. Maximum connections
would be limited by the network bandwidth.
Functionally, the VMS (Video Management System) software can replace the decoder.
MULTICAST MODE
In the network supporting multicast mode, if multicast is setup as a system protocol, you can use bandwidth
efficiently regardless of the number of decoders. In 1:N connection, a large number of decoders can receive
audio and video data from a decoder by using a single streaming transmission.
RELAYING
In this arrangement, video and audio can be retransmitted from a centre to another centre. The arrangement
is useful when the network bandwidth at the site is limited while there is more than one centre wanting to
monitor the site.
VMS (VIDEO MANAGEMENT SYSTEM)
VMS (Video Management System) is a Windows based remote monitoring program to access
multiple decoders for real-time monitoring or control of the decoder. Please refer to VMS User
Manual for more information on VMS.

2. Installation
Check if it works
Once the power is supplied to the Decoder it will start booting. The system will boot up to an operating mode
after approximately 40-60seconds. The green LED on the Ethernet port will flash indicating the system is
ready.
Software provided 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
device. and if required changing it.
These LEDs show that the Decoder has started without connecting to a input source. Once a input
source is connected, the colour of “LINK” LED will be turned to green and the “DATA” LED will blink
as video and/or audio data transmissions occur.

3. System Operation
REMOTE VIDEO MONITORING
There are two ways to monitor video when the centre system and IP camera / Decoder are connected. In
order for proper operation, an IP address must be set accordingly. Please refer to True Manager Manual
enclosed with product for further details.
Default ID: admin
Default Password: 1234
VIDEO MONITORING USING INTERNET EXPLORER
Open Internet Explorer and enter Decoders IP address. The system will ask for confirmation to install Active-
X control. Once authorised, Internet Explorer will start to display the images from the Decoder as shown
below.
Default IP Address: http://192.168.10.100

VIDEO SELECT
Select the video stream to be viewed: primary, secondary, tertiary or quartic streaming. This camera is
capable of dual streaming; primary streaming and secondary streaming.
Video will be displayed according to the resolution set on video configuration. If dual streaming (“Use Dual
Encode” Menu Video page) is not activated, secondary video is not available.
VIEW SIZE
Adjust the size of the screen.
Screen size if initially adjusted according to the compression resolution. Click on 50% icon and the while
screen size will be reduced to half size.
DIGITAL ZOOM

DISPLAY BUFFER
Set the number of video frames to be buffered before being displayed on web browser. Larger value results
in smoother video by sacrificing the latency. A setting of 10 ~ 15 frames can be used generally for most
situations.
VIDEO MONITORING WITH DECODER SYSTEM
Once camera’s IP address is set in the remote IP address section of the decoder, the decoder system will
connect to the camera and start receiving the video images. Normally, a monitor connected to the decoder
will display video images.
Initialise of IP Address
If a system IP address is lost the system can be reset to the system default IP address using the reset button
in the back of the Decoder.
1. While the system is in operation, press the reset button for more than 5 seconds.
2. The system will reboot automatically.
3. Once the system reboots, IP address will be set to the system default as below
REMOTE CONFIGURATION
Using Web Browser
Remote setting is available by using web browser. Enter IP address of camera and then a live view screen
appears as below. Press Setup button located in the upper right of the monitoring screen to go to the server
setup. For Remote Setting. user should be authorised higher than manager level.
The configurations are grouped into 9 categories: Video & Audio, Image, Network, Event, Record, Device,
PTZ, System, User. Leaving the page without pressing Apply button, any changes in the page will be
discarded.
