System Connections
Video server operates as one mode; Encoder. Video server can be connected in either 1-to-1 fashion where
one encoder is connected one decoder or 1-to-many fashion where one encoder connected to many decoders.
ollowing chart shows data status of video, audio and serial data.
System Mode Video Audio Serial Data
Encoder Transmit Transmit/Receive Transmit/Receive
The system mode is defined by the video communication and the system mode is capable of single directional
transmission of audio and bi-directional of serial data.
Topology
Generally, the encoder and a decoder are connected in 1-to-1 mode. To support specific situation, 1-to-multiple
connection 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 center 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 of the encoder’s address at the decoder’s remote IP.

or
or
or
 1:N Connection (Unidirectional Transmission).
In this configuration, a site can be monitored from many remote center locations. Maximum connections would
be limited by the network bandwidth.
unctionally, the VMS (Video Management System) software can be replaced as 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 an encoder by using a single streaming transmission.
 Relaying
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 center wanting to monitor
the site.

2. Installation
Connecting Video
- Encoder system mode
Connect camera or other video source such as computer’s video output line to the encoder (video server)
video input port. HDMI cable ver. is 2.2.
Connecting Audio
It is possible to set the mode as Tx-only, Rx-only, Tx-Rx or audio off.
- Connect audio input and output ports to audio devices accordingly.
- The Audio signal required is line level, so audio equipment with an amp, mixer or other amplifier should be
used.
- Embedded audio over HDMI is supported.
Connecting Serial Ports
- or camera control, PTZ controller (keyboard) and receiver can be connected to serial ports. Two
corresponding serial ports in encoder and decoder which are connected in 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.
Connecting Sensor and Alarm
- Connect sensor and alarm devices to corresponding terminals accordingly.
Connecting Power
- After confirming the power source, connect power adaptor and connect the 12VDC connector to the system.
- Also PoE (Power over Ethernet) is supported.
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 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.

- Algorithm
Select compression algorithm. Note that MJPEG is supported only for Secondary streams.
- Resolution
Select video encoding resolution.
Scaling option is used when encoding resolution is different from input resolution. Without Scaling
option, input video will be cut according to encoding resolution. On the other hand, if Scaling is selected,
input video will be adjusted according to the encoding resolution.
- Framerate
Determine the maximum number of frames per second for the video stream.
1,2,3,4,5,6,8,10,15,20,25,30 and 60 frame rate can be selected. The actual frame rate of the video can
be less than the maximum frame rate set due to the network bandwidth limitation
- Preference
Select encoding mode to control video quality or bitrate: Quality(VBR) or Bit rate(CBR and Hybrid). If
‘Bitrate’ is selected, the video encoding will be affected by the ‘Bitrate’ value entered. Therefore, “Bitrate”
mode corresponds to CBR (Constant Bit Rate) or Hybrid (Hybrid Constant Bit Rate) encoding. If ‘Quality’
is selected, the video encoded will be affected by the quality of image selected. Therefore, “Quality”
mode corresponds to VBR (Variable Bit Rate) encoding.
- Quality
Select Video quality. 8 levels of quality are available.
Quality mode (VBR encoding) tries to encode every frame in a constant quality. Therefore, the resulting
bitrate may vary a lot depending on the complexity or activity changes in the input video. It is preferred
when constant video quality is required and network bandwidth is enough for delivering the stream of
highly varying bitrate.
- Bitrate
Determine the bitrate value between 32 ~ 16Mbps.
Bitrate mode (CBR encoding) allows you to set a fixed target bitrate that consumes a predictable
amount of bandwidth. In order to keep the bitrate limit, video quality is controlled dynamically according
to the complexity or activity changes in the input video.
Bitrate mode (Hybrid encoding) allows you to set a maximum bitrate. Bitrate does not exceed the set
bitrate but it can decrease automatically when the scene complexity is decreased. This mode allows
you to control the bandwidth efficiently.

- I-Frame Interval
Determine I-frame Interval between 1 and 255.
- H.264 Profile
Select H.264 Profile: High Profile or Baseline Profile
The standard defines various sets of capabilities which are referred to as profiles that target
specific classes of application.
I. High Profile
The Primary profile for broadcast and disc storage applications are used particularly for high-
definition television application.
II. Main Profile
This profile is used for standard-definition digital TV broadcasts that use the MPEG-4 format as
defined in the DVB standard.
III. Baseline Profile
Primarily used for low-cost applications that require additional data loss robustness, this profile is
sometimes used in video conferencing and mobile application. This profile includes all features
that are supported in the constrained baseline profile, plus three additional features that can be
used for loss robustness.
- Secondary #1 ~ #3
- Use Quadruple Encode
Select ON to enable to use Secondary #1 ~ #3.
The Secondary #1 ~ #3 video can be viewed on Live View window by selecting Stream number on
Video selection
- Algorithm
Select H.264 or MJPEG or H.265 for the secondary, tertiary or quaternary streaming.
In case of H.264, wither bitrate mode or Quality mode can be selected for Preference mode. On the
other hand, MJPEG supports Quality mode
