1 Overview
1.1 Introduction
This manual covers the KBC H.264 ncoder video server. KBC Networks’ network
encoders are high performance video servers which support constant simplex video
streaming, bi-directional RS-422/485/232 data, and digital input/output contact
closure. They are designed for use in a wide range of operating temperatures in
environmentally conditioned/enclosed indoor or outdoor applications. The KBC
ncoder has been specifically designed to convert constant streaming composite
video, as well as other analog signal types, to thernet format in order to connect to
an existing network, fiber media converter or wireless thernet system such as the
KBC W SII series. This manual covers all features and operations of the encoder.
The operations of the KBC Decoder are found within its own operations manual.

2.2.3.1 RS-422 / 485
The default configuration is set for RS-422 / 485. In the diagram below, white
represents the switch. The first four dip switches OFF (in the up position) with the
last four ON will set the encoder for RS-422 or 485 protocol.
No e: The dip switches will not determine the Baud Rate. The Baud Rate must be
configured within the GUI to match the decoder, camera and PTZ system. The
default configuration is 600 BPS.
2.2.3.2 RS-232
The reverse dip switch positions (i.e. first four ON/down and second four OFF/up)
will change the encoder into RS-232 mode.

2.2.4 S a us LED Descrip ion
The KBC ncoder offers status L Ds for the power and data as well as on the LAN
port for link status and activity.
2.2.4.1 Da a TX/RX LEDs
1. Power L D. Allow 30 seconds after power up to illuminate steady.
2. Data RX. L D should remain OFF on standard activity. Will flash to
indicate that the camera is sending communication to the encoder.
3. Data TX. L D should remain OFF unless PTZ control signals are
being sent from the decoder (Transmitted to the camera).
No e: A solid RX LED indicates a data wiring, or other data related error. If the LED
will not turn OFF, contact KBC for further details and/or return authorization
for repair.
2.2.4.2 LAN / WAN Por
4. Link Status. On/Off
5. Port Activity. Will flash rapidly when streaming video.
No e: If the LAN port LEDs do not light up, check Ethernet cable or connected
Ethernet device.
2.2.5 Composi e Video Connec ion
Make all Video In coaxial connections prior to powering up the encoder. If the video
input is connected after power is applied to the encoder, the unit will require a power
reset in order to stream video to a connected decoder and/or via the encoder GUI
video display.
No e: If the connected camera loses power but the encoder does not, the encoder
must be power reset once the camera is back online.
2.2.6 Da a Pro ocol Dip Swi ch Selec ion & PTZ Wiring Schemes
The following PTZ data schemes have been tested by KBC. Other wiring
combinations are possible depending on the PTZ system manufacturer.
No e: A solid RX light indicates an improper data wiring connection. If one of the
following schemes results in a solid RX LED, check the protocol dip switch
selection and/or use a varying wiring combination if your PTZ system requires
a different wiring solution.
2.2.6.1 RS-422/485, 2-wires
(Use default RS-422/485 dip switch selection)
From encoder: TX+ to camera: RX+ (or “A”)
From encoder: TX- to camera: RX- (or “B”)

2.3.2 Bench Tes Se Up
KBC Networks recommends that all equipment be bench tested before being installed
on site. One crossover thernet cable is required.
1. Remove the NC-H-W* ncoder and/or D C-A (KBC Decoder) from box. The
NC-H-W* IP address is factory set to 192.168.1.100, the D C-A IP address is
factory set to 192.168.1.101 unless otherwise noted on provided documentation.
