5. System Modes and Connections
The ANT-3300 system operates in one of two modes: Encoder, Decoder. ANT-3300 systems can be
connected in either 1-to-1 where one encoder is connected one decoder or 1-to-many where one
encoder connected to many decoders.
The Following chart shows possible combinations of video, audio and serial data transmission.

Serial Data
Encoder

Transmission/Receive

Decoder

Transmission /Receive
Transmit/Receive
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.
!Topology
Generally, the encoder and the decoder are connected in 1-to-1 mode. To support specific situations,
1-to-many connections are also supported.
"1:1 Connection (Unidirection)
Mostly commonly used configuration is a 1 to 1 connection. An encoder is installed at a site where
video images can be transmitted and a decoder is installed at a centeral location to receive and view
the video images on an analog monitor. Audio and serial data are transferred in either direction.
Encoder
Decoder

"1:N Connection (Unidirection)
In this configuration, a site can be monitored from many remote central locations. Although up to 64
decoders can be connected to on encoder, in the real network environment, network bandwidth can
limit the maximum connections.
Functionally, the CMS (Central Monitoring System) software or VMS (Video Management Software)
can replace the decoder.
"Multicast Mode
In 1:N Connection, networks that supports multicasting, a large number of decoders can receive
video efficiently from an encoder transmitting a single streaming of video and audio.
"Relaying
In this arrangement, video and audio can be retransmitted from a center to another center. The
arrangement is useful when the network bandwidth to the site is limited while there is more than one
center wanting to monitor the site.

"CMS (Central Monitoring System)
CMS (Central Monitoring System) is a Windows based remote monitoring program to access multiple
encoders for real-time monitoring or control of the encoders and connected cameras. Please refer to
CMS User Manual for more information on CMS.
"VMS (Video Management Software)
This will ultimately replace CMS and is available on your CD or via Antricas FTP site.

2. Installation
1. Connecting Video
"Encoder System
-Connect camera video output line to the encoder (ANT-3300) video input port.
"Decoder System
-Connect monitor video input line to the decoder (ANT-3300) video output port.
2. Connecting Audio
Audio is bi-directional in any configuration regardless of the system mode. If necessary, it can be
configured to be in transmit-only, receive -only or bi-directional mode.
-Connect audio input and output ports to audio devices accordingly.
-Audio signal is line level 1V PP, therefore, a microphone or speaker with amplification function
should be used.
3. Connecting Serial Ports
For camera control, PTZ controller (keyboard) and receiver can be connected to serial ports. Two
corresponding serial ports in the encoder and decoder which are connected in a 1-to-1 fashion work
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 Sensors and Alarms
Connect sensors and alarm devices to corresponding terminals accordingly.
5. Connecting Power
After confirming the power source, connect power adaptor and connect the 12VDC connector to the
system.

6. Checking Operating
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/server. Please refer to the True Manager manual for instructions on
how to find the IP address of the camera and if required changing it.
"Encoder LED Display
Above LED status display shows that neither camera is connected nor a decoder is connected. Once
the encoder is connected to a decoder, color of link LED will illuminate green and the LED will blink as
video or audio transmissions occur.
"Decoder LED Display
Above LED status display shows that the encoder has started without connecting to an encoder.
Once an encoder is connected, the color of link LED will be changed to green and the LED will blink
as video or audio data transmissions occurs.

2. Remote Video Monitoring
There are two ways to view the remote video when the connections are completed between a site and
central system. In order for proper operation, an IP address must be set accordingly. Please refer to
True Manager or Remote Setting in Chapter 4 and 5 for further details.
!Video Monitoring with Decoder System
Once the encoder IP address is set in the remote IP address section of the decoder, the decoder
system will connect to the encoder system and start receiving the video images. Normally, a monitor
connected to the decoder will display video images.
!Video Monitoring using Internet Explorer
If ANT-3300’s IP address in entered in Internet Explorer, the system will ask for confirmation to install
Active-X control. Once authorized, Internet Explorer will start to display video images from the
encoder as shown below.
!Video Selection
If Primary is selected, Max. 720 x 480 (NTSC) or 704 x 756 (PAL) via H.264 compression
algorithm video can be displayed. And once activated Dual Video compression and a
Secondary video stream may be selected, H.264 or MJPEG compression algorithm video can

4. Remote Configuration
1. Remote Configuration
The server can be configured using a web browser. Type the IP address of the ANT-3300 in the
address input area of Internet Explorer, then a live view screen will be displayed. Press Setup button
located in the upper right area of the monitoring screen, then the setup page for server setup will be
displayed.
The remote configuration window may be slightly different depending on the system modes (Encoder,
Decoder). The general explanation of the configuration in this manual is based on an Encoder system
and differences according to the modes will be clarified when needed.
The configurations are grouped into 8 categories: System, Video, Audio, Network, Serial, Event,
Preset and User. Any configuration changes are not applied until Apply is pressed. Leaving the page
without pressing Apply button, changes in the page will be discarded.
2. Encoder Configuration
While most configuration items are common for Encoder, Decoder and Duplex mode, there are items
which are relevant to specific system modes. All the configuration items for Encoder mode are
explained first. Then, items specific only to Decoder and Duplex mode are described later. Sections
for Decoder and Duplex will not include items common for all modes.
