Before you begin
About the ATOMAS-MINI
The ATOMAS-MINI single port OEM encoder module delivers high quality H.264 video encoding
to the video surveillance market. It is an embedded, high-performance digital video OEM
encoder module designed for integration into HD cameras or other video capture products.
Embedding support for networked API’s, products based on the ATOMAS-MINI 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.
The high-performance encoding capability of the ATOMAS-MINI offers a cost-effective way to
convert existing cameras designs to benefit from video over IP networks.
The ATOMAS-MINI provides innovative configuration options and tools that can significantly
decrease the amount of time and effort required to deploy a unit. Using web-based configuration
tools, users can easily and remotely manage all aspects of the appliance.
To support high-performance encoding, while keeping the total cost of ownership within budget
constraints, the ATOMAS-MINI uses highly efficient dual stream H.264 compression and
supports an optional MJPEG stream.
Advanced features, such as “edge-recording” allow you to extend usage of the ATOMAS-MINI
well into the future.

Parts List
Qty Description
1 ATOMAS-MINI Module
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 damag-
es or defects.
Note: The product serial number label helps the Ionodes 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 on the underside of the PCBA
module.

Hardware Integration
The ATOMAS-MINI has been designed to allow for flexible hardware integration to existing or
new product designs. The ATOMAS-MINI proposes four (4) 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-MINI 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.
Temperature Considerations
The ATOMAS-MINI has been designed with industrial temp. components (-40C to +85C);
however, reaching your temperature requirements may require that you add heat sinks to certain
board-level components which generate substancial heat. Our internal testing has allowed to
confirm that with specific heatsinking, the device should be suitable for applications running
between -10C and 60C ambient temperature. Note that you may be able to obtain better results
using your own design.
