1About the ATOMAS-IOT-DUAL
The ATOMAS-IOT-DUAL dual port IP video encoder module delivers high quality H.265/H.264 video
encoding to be used within a variety of applications in a multitude of markets. It is an embedded, high-
performance IP video encoder module designed for integration into industry specific products looking to
add state of the art IoT video capabilities such as unmanned vehicles, drones, thermal camera systems and
many others.
Open Platform API
Embedding support for networked API’s such as ONVIF and the ION API, products based on the ATOMAS-
IOT-DUAL can be integrated into a networked video management system allowing for centralized
monitoring and management in a scalable and expandable IP surveillance system. Contact IONODES for
a list of supported VMS systems, on-premises and Cloud.
Simultaneous Dual Camera Support
The ATOMAS-IOT-DUAL is designed for direct connection to the leading LVDS zoom camera blocks, such as
SONY and KT&C, with simultaneous support of a MIPI and or digital video source such, such as a thermal
camera. Both cameras are processed simultaneously and published via ONVIF and other IP APIs for
streaming / recording.
High Performance Video Engine
The ATOMAS-IOT-DUAL features a powerful video codec engine capable of generating multiple HEVC /
H.264 IP video streams at different quality settings. In single input mode, it can generate streams at up to
4K30FPS; in dual input mode it can generate streams at up to 2K30FPS for each input.
IoT Enabled for Endless Possibilities
The ATOMAS-IOT-DUAL offers the latest in loT and networking connectivity functions including Ethernet,
4G LTE, Wi-Fi, GPS, Bluetooth, CAN Bus, 9-axis IMU and much more.

Note: When unpacking, inspect the shipment box and appliance to identify any possible damages due
to shipping. Make sure all items have been delivered and that no items are missing. Contact your
IONODES representative should you find any damages or defects.
Note: The product serial number label helps our product support team identify your device and its
factory configuration in the event that your IONODES product or its components require service.
The label is attached to the underside of the PCBA.

3Hardware Integration
The ATOMAS-IOT-DUAL has been designed to allow for flexible hardware integration to existing or new
product designs. The ATOMAS-IOT-DUAL proposes three (3) mounting holes for securing to your
enclosure. In addition, a slight clearance around the board’s edge can also be used for extrusion-type
enclosures.
When integrating the ATOMAS-IOT-DUAL into a product design, position the module to allow for air
circulation around the board in order to maximize the chances of heat dissipation.
Warning: Be careful not to damage the module when using mounting screws.
4Temperature Considerations
The ATOMAS-IOT-DUAL has been designed with extended temperature components (-20C to +70C);
however, reaching your temperature requirements may require that you add heatsinks to certain board-
level components which generate substantial heat (the main one being the SoC). The placement of the
SoC is clearly marked in the picture below.

VRTC is provided in order to allow for optional integration of an external battery source (2.0V to 3.25V) for
feeding the module’s real-time clock (RTC). VRTC is only required to keep the date/time when the main
power supply is not connected. All other data is saved in the persistent FLASH memory. The expected
consumption is around 0.0045 mA. Based on the desired holdup time, the system integrator should select
the appropriate battery capacity. We recommend using Seiko Instruments MS621FE-FL11E coin cell battery,
which is rated at 3V output and 5.5 mAh capacity.
J1 provides standard 4-wire network connectivity. You only need 4 wires for 10/100 Base-T
network connection; please connect the appropriate network connection pins to your RJ45
connector or wiring. Network status LED pins are also accessible if needed.

5.3 Understanding LED Status
Status of the ATOMAS-IOT-DUAL is exposed via the on-board bi-color LED (Green/Red).
The following describes the system status LED mappings of the ATOMAS-IOT-DUAL:
Normal Operation:
•Operating system boot up –LED is steady red (2-5 seconds) and after that LED is steady orange (30-
45 seconds)
•Internal application startup –LED is flashing orange (2 second interval)
•System ready –LED is steady green
•Media streaming –LED is flashing green (1/2 second interval)
Special Operations:
•Identify command received –LED is flashing orange/green
•Reset to factory settings –LED is flashing rapidly red/green
•Software watchdog is rebooting the appliance –LED is flashing rapidly red
•Firmware update in progress –LED is flashing slowly red/green
