System Modes and Connections
TheVS-101-HDSDIoperatesasanEncoderorDecoder.TheVS-101-HDSDIcanbeconnectedin
either 1-to-1 fashion where one encoder is connected one decoder or 1-to-many fashion where one
encoder is connected to many decoders.
Following chart shows data status of video, audio and serial data on each mode.
The System Mode is determined by the video communication status, while Audio and Serial Data
modes are always capable of Unidirectional or bidirectional transmission.
■Topology
Generally,theencoderanddecoderareconnectedin1-to-1mode.Tosupportspecicsituations,
1-to-1 multiple connections are also supported.
1:1 Connection (Unidirectional Transmission)
Mostlyusedcongurationis1to1connection.Anencoderisinstalledatasitewherevideoimages
can be transmitted and a decoder is installed at a center location to receive and view the video
images on monitors. Audio and serial data are transferred in either direction.
A decoder and encoder can be connected by setting the encoder’s address at the decoder’s remote
IP.

■1:N Connection (Unidirectional Transmission)
Inthisconguration,asitecanbemonitoredfrommanyremotecenterlocations.Althoughupto‘n’
decoders can be connected to an encoder, in the real network environment, Maximum connections
would be limited by network bandwidth connection
Functionally, the CMS (Central Monitoring System) software can replace the decoder.
Multicast Mode
In the network supporting multicast mode, if Multicast is setup as a system protocol, you can use
bandwidthefcientlyregardlessofthenumberofdecoders.In1:Nconnection,alargenumber
of decoders can receive audio and video data from an encoder by using a single streaming
transmission.
■Relaying
In this arrangement, video and audio can be retransmitted from a center to another center. The
arrangement is useful when the network bandwidth at the site is limited while there is more than one
center wanting to monitor the site.

■Connect the audio input and output ports to the appropriate audio devices as required.
■The Audio I/O is -10dBu unbalanced line level stereo, appropriate microphone or speaker
amplication is required.
Connecting Serial Ports
Two serial ports are provided for remote camera control and PTZ controller receiver. These are
connected in connected in 1-to-1 fashion and work in a pass-through mode. This means that
commands at a local system’s COM1 port will be transparently passed to the remote system’s COM1
port. Also, a command at a local system COM2 port will pass to the remote system’s COM2 port.
Connecting Sensor and Alarm
Connect sensor and alarm devices to corresponding terminals as required.

■Encoder LED Display
Above LED status shows that the server is connected but a decoder is not connected. Once the
encoder is connected to a decoder, color of “LINK” LED will turn into green color and “ DATA” LED will
blink as video and / or audio transmissions occur.
■Decoder LED Display
Above LED status shows that the Decoder has started without connecting to an encoder. Once an
encoder is connected, the color of “LINK” LED will be turned to green and the “DATA” LED will blink
as video and / or audio data transmissions occur.

Remote Video Monitoring
There are two ways to view video when the connections are completed between a site and center
system. In order for a proper operation, an IP address must be set accordingly. Please refer to True
Manager in Chapter 3 or Remote Setting in Chapter 4 for further details.
■Video Monitoring with Decoder System
Once the IP address is set in the remote IP address section of the decoder, the decoder system will
connect to the encoder systems and start receiving the video images. A monitor must be connected to
the decoder in order view the video images.
■Video Monitoring using Internet Explorer
OpenInternetExplorerandentertheencoder’sIPaddress.Thesystemwillaskforconrmationto
install Active-X control. Once authorized, the Internet Explorer will start to display video images from
the encoder in the Live View window as shown.

A time zone is a region of the earth that has uniform standard time, usually referred
to as the local time. By convention, time zones compute their local time as an offset
from UTC (Coordinated Universal Time). In casual use, GMT (Greenwich Mean
Time) can be considered equivalent to UTC. Local time is UTC plus the current time
zone offset for the considered location.
