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.

2.3.2 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.

Encoder User Manual
Manual-H264_ENC-Rev120 A
Copyright © KBC Networks 2012 Page 11 of 49 www.kbcnetworks.com
The IP addresses do not need to be changed for the units to operate individually
or as a system. If you will be using multiple NC-H-W* and D C-A in a system,
please see the advanced operation section of this manual for setup. The NC-H-
W* and D C-A operate as a pair and the IP addresses have been set accordingly.
2. Mount the NC-H-W* at the desired location. The encoder is not weatherproof
and will need to be mounted in a suitable environmental enclosure if used outside
or in a harsh environment. If the NC-H-W* is part of the ncoder/Decoder Kit
( DKT-H-W*), the included KBC housing is suitable for outdoor and/or harsh
environments provided the minimum and maximum temperature specifications of
the NC-H-W* are not exceeded.
3. Connect the analog video cable from the analog video source to the VID O-IN
port. If the system requires data transmission (pan/tilt/zoom or other
RS485/422/232 data) connect the wires from the data device the RS485/422/232
Tx+, Tx-, Rx+ & Rx- ports. If the system requires alarm communication, connect
alarm device wires to the Digital Input (DI) ports.
4. Connect the LAN/WAN port of the NC-H-W* to the wired or wireless network.
The green L D on the front on the NC-H-W* will illuminate if the encoder is
connected to a valid network/ thernet device. If connected to a switch or KBC
W SII / M SHII system then a straight through cable is needed for this
connection. If the NC-H-W* and D C-A are being tested back to back, a
crossover cable will be needed.
5. Mount the D C-A at the desired location. The D C-A is not weatherproof and will
need to be mounted in a suitable environmental enclosure if used outside or in a
harsh environment. Typically the D C-A will be located in close proximity to the
analog video device it will be connected to such as a monitor, DVR or multiplexer.
6. Connect an analog video cable from the Composite BNC output on the D C-A to
the input of the analog device it will be connected to. If the system requires data
transmission (pan/tilt/zoom or other RS485/422/232 data) connect the wires
from the control device to the RS485/422/232 Tx+, Tx-, Rx+ & Rx- ports. If the
system requires alarm communication, connect alarm device wires to the Digital
Input (DI) ports.
7. Connect the LAN/WAN port of the D C-A to a wired or wireless network. The
green and amber L Ds of the LAN port will illuminate if the D C-A is connected to
a valid network/ thernet device. If connected to a switch or wireless system then
a straight through cable is needed for this connection. When the NC-H-W* has
established communication with the D C-A, The green L D on the NC-H-W* and
the amber L D on the D C-A will flash rapidly. Analog video from the analog
video source connected to the NC-H-W* will be displayed on the device the
Composite output of the D C-A is connected to.
2.3.3 Moun ing he Encoder in a KBC LWE-ED enclosure*
See instructions included with enclosure for parts list and dimensions.
1. Attach KBC ncoder to mounting braces using self-thread Philips screws. nsure
top and bottom holes are positioned at the outside corners and leave connection
loose to be able to screw into the housing. See Figure #1. Mount the ncoder
and brace assembly into the enclosure using four M5 x .9P x 10mm Philips pan
head screws. Tighten all eight screws. Attach the enclosure to a wall or pole (Pole
mounting hardware included).

2. Remove green connector from ncoder power supply in order to feed the cable
through the weatherproof plugs. Remove the black grommet from the white plug
and insert the power cable through the weatherproof plug. Reattach grommet
into plug and green connector onto power supply. nsure white dashed cable is
inserted into 12V port and solid black cable into GRD port. If using a D900
Transceiver, place the transceiver on its side and adjust the antenna so it is
pointing up.
3. Attach an off-white painted bracket to the top and bottom of the enclosure. Use
four M5 x .9P x 10mm Philips pan head screws attaching the outer holes to the
four corner threaded ports on the backside of the enclosure. Mount enclosure to
pole or wall using two off-white painted brackets and hardware kit.
2.3.4 Replacing / Adding an Encoder o an Exis ing Encoder/Decoder
Sys em
When a replacement encoder is ordered after the original products had been in
deployment, the new encoder may need to be reconfigured if the old device was not
set to the product defaults. The KBC ncoder can also replace an S D series encoder
and connect to an S D series decoder if applicable. If an S D series decoder is in
use the easiest reconfiguration is to set the new encoder to the settings of the old
S D series encoder which is no longer in use. Because the decoder must be told the
LAN IP and user ID and password of the encoder in order to stream its video, the
encoder may need to have its ID and password for GUI access changed as well.
Contact KBC for further details on this process.
2.3.5 Es ablishing a Connec ion o a KBC Decoder
When connecting the KBC NC-H-W* ncoder to a KBC Decoder, the following items
must be in place:
• Both of the L Ds on the encoder and decoder LAN port must be illuminated.
When video is streaming, the amber L D will flash rapidly.
• nsure that the video cable from the camera to the encoder is connected when
the encoder is powered down. Connecting it after encoder power up will require
a power reset.
• The video source must be present and powered up.
• The encoder IP must be able to be pinged from the decoder side of the network
using a computer which is on the same subnet as the encoder/decoder devices.
The decoder must also be able to be pinged from the encoder side of the
network using a computer on the same static subnet as the encoder and
decoder.
• There must be sufficient throughput across the medium used to connect the two
devices. If insufficient throughput is available, the encoder can be reconfigured
to consume less network traffic.

• The encoder and decoder must have their own individual network settings (i.e,
LAN or WAN IP, etc.)
• The decoder must be configured properly in its “Connection Settings”
configuration screen to identify the appropriate encoder settings in order to
connect and stream the data from the encoder.
No e: If a connection to a KBC Decoder cannot be established in the field or on a
network, KBC recommends a test with the encoder directly connected to
its mate decoder using a crossover cable. If the two units are connected
via an unmanaged switch then the interface screen can be accessed from a
web browser in order to identify if a problem in configuration exists.
2.3.6 IP U ili y Loca ing Sof ware Tool
KBC Networks provides a software tool to search for the encoder and decoder IP
addresses. This tool is helpful for diagnostics and trouble-shooting if needed in the
installation. Visit KBC Networks’ website software tool at
www.kbcnetworks.com/downloads and select “Software”. The needed tool is the IP
Utility, the second link on the software downloads page. The other tools listed on the
page are for other KBC products which may not apply to your application.

3.3.2 Da e & Time
The encoder can be custom configured to match the time and date of the users’
network via SNTP/NTP or manually. If your local area observes Day Light Saving,
you can program the encoder to automatically change its time when Day Light
Savings time begins and ends each year.

3.3.3 Ne work: IP Address Fil ering
The encoder can deny or allow certain IP addresses in order to filter network traffic
coming into the device. In “Allow” mode, the encoder will filter all IP addresses other
than the list of allowed IP addresses. All IP addresses that the encoder must listen
for must be listed manually. In “Block” mode, the user lists the IP addresses not
allowed and the encoder will allow all other IPs.
No e: Configuration of this option must be performed with care. If the IP address
of your computer is not listed in the “Allow” (or is listed in the “Block” list)
you will be denied access from the encoder web browser GUI. An
incorrect configuration may result in the need for a hard reset to
factory default.
