6PC1656 Picolo.net HD4 Handbook Short Description
Short Description
Picolo.net HD4 is a four-channel High Definition Video IP encoder.
Video Features
Picolo.net HD4 captures high-definition video from up to four HD-SDI or HDcctv 1.0 video sources. It supports 720p
and 1080p progressive-scan formats, and a large set of frame rates for both 50Hz and 60Hz regions.
The format selection is automatic.
Picolo.net HD4 is fitted with a high performance H.264 encoder engine that is capable of delivering up to 12 encoded
video streams simultaneously.
The H.264 encoder operates in the baseline, main, and high profiles. The bitrate is controlled using the CBR or the
VBR methods.
Picolo.net HD4 is also capable of delivering up to 4 MJPEG encoded video streams.
Audio Features
Picolo.net HD4 can optionally be fitted with one or two Audio Module for Picolo.net HD4.
Each module provides two analog audio input ports and two audio output ports through four 3.5mm TRS jack sockets
located on the front panel.
The audio inputs accept line-level mono-channel audio signals. The audio input signals are digitally sampled, G.711
µ-law encoded, and finally delivered as a 64 kbps digital audio stream.
Note. Firmware version 5.x support neither audio outputs nor microphone level audio inputs
IO Features
Picolo.net HD4 provides the following I/O interfaces:
4 alarm input ports
4 isolated relay output ports
1 bidirectional half-duplex RS-485 COM port for the control of up to 4 Pelco-D compliant PTZ cameras
Network Features
Picolo.net HD4 provides a gigabit capable RJ-45 Ethernet port for connection to an IP network.
Streaming Features
Picolo.net HD4 uses the Real-time Transport Protocol - RTP - to stream audio, video and metadata over the IP
network.
It supports the following RTP transport modalities:
RTP over UDP Unicast
RTP over UDP Multicast
RTP interleaved in RTSP over HTTP

7
Short Description PC1656 Picolo.net HD4 Handbook
The streaming is controlled by means of the RTSP protocol. Each RTSP session may include:
One encoded video stream from any of the Video Encoders
One encoded audio stream from any of the Audio Encoders
One metadata stream from any of the Event sources
User Authentication and Access Policy
Picolo.net HD4 implements the following user authentication mechanisms to control the access to its resources:
HTTP and RTSP authentication using the "HTTP Digest Authentication" mechanism
WS authentication using the WS-Security “Username Token” mechanism, with the “Password Digest” password
type.
Web Pages through login/password dialog box.
Picolo.net HD4 implements the default access policy recommended by the ONVIF 2.2 Core Specification. The policy
implements four user levels: Administrator, Operator, User, and Anonymous.
Encryption
Picolo.net HD4 implements the following encryption mechanisms:
Web Service messages encryption using TLS 1.0
HTTPS Web Pages encrypted access using TLS 1.0

Picolo.net HD4 is an encoder device complying with the version 1.0 of the ONVIF Profile S Specification.
The HD-SDI video inputs of Picolo.net HD4 comply with the Version 1.0 of the HDcctv Alliance standard. The device
has been tested according to the Version 1.1 HDcctv Compliance Certification Standard and has been found to be
in compliance with the Minimum Requirements.
Physical
Picolo.net HD4:
Is packaged in an aluminum enclosure that can be installed on a desktop, on a wall using a baseplate, or on a
DIN-rail using a clip-on baseplate.
Is intended for indoor use exclusively.
Is a fan-less device that supports ambient temperatures up to 55°C or 131°F.
Is 12V-24V DC powered.
Note. Pre-series products, SN00011 up to SN00070, are restricted for use with 12V DC supply!

Mounting Methods
The following mounting methods are available:
Desktop: the product lays down on top of a horizontal flat surface such as a table.
Wall: the product is hooked-up on a baseplate, itself screwed on a vertical flat surface such as a wall.
DIN-rail: the product is hooked-up on a baseplate, itself clipsed on a DIN-rail.

Desktop Mount
Picolo.net HD4 "Desktop"
The out-of-the box product, namely the Picolo.net HD4 "Desktop", is ready for a desktop usage. The baseplate and
the DIN-rail clip may be discarded.
The enclosure is designed in such a way that its bottom side faces the table. The four embossings on the bottom side
of the plastic caps act as anti-skid feet, and avoid direct contact between metallic parts and the table.
Wall Mount
The Picolo.net HD4 "Desktop" is used together with the baseplate. The DIN-rail clip may be discarded.
First of all, the baseplate has to be attached to the wall using appropriate fixation methods. Therefore it is equipped
with four oblong openings allowing easy installation and alignment. The openings dimensions are 4 mm x 12 mm
(0.16" x 0.47").
The enclosure is then hooked upon the baseplate by first inserting the long enclosure brackets, then the short brackets.
The four embossings on the bottom side of the plastic caps act as anti-skid feet, and prevent any movement of the
enclosure once hooked-up on the baseplate.

Mechanical Specification PC1656 Picolo.net HD4 Handbook
The enclosure and the baseplate are designed in such a way that the enclosure can be mounted on a vertical flat
surface with three possible orientations:
Horizontal: the BNC video connectors are facing rightwards and the Euresys logo is horizontal.
Vertical Downwards: the BNC video connectors and the Euresys logo are oriented downwards.
Vertical Upwards: the BNC video connectors and the Euresys logo are oriented upwards.
Note. BNC video connectors facing leftwards is not allowed.

DIN-Rail Mount
To mount Picolo.net HD4 on a DIN rail, the DIN-rail clip must be installed on the back side of the baseplate, and the
enclosure must be hooked-up on the baseplate like for the wall-mount usage.
Assuming that the DIN rail is always horizontal, the DIN-rail clip must be oriented according to the desired orientations
for the BNC connectors.
DIN-rail clip orientation, for BNC video connectors facing upwards or downwards
DIN-rail clip orientation, for BNC video connectors facing rightwards
(BNC video connectors facing leftwards is not allowed)
The DIN-rail clip is equipped with a lever that facilitates the removal from the DIN rail.
