2 Introduction
The PiXORD Media Converter (PMC) modules which include models that utilize new
built-in IP camera device or are capable of upgrading analog camera into IP camera, are ideal
devices for centralized surveillance and control. Furthermore, its installation cost is cut to
minimum due to reduced installation man-hour and cable/wiring requirements. Through splitter,
the PMC modules can be connected to the security network through existing coaxial cables or
telephone wirings. PMC modules are also capable of extending its surveillance capability to
about 2 kilometer from control center through a single Ethernet port (RJ-45) and an RJ-11or wire
terminal block port.
Figure 1、Application Environment
PMC modules are plug-n-play as they do not require software. For long range
connections, the modules offer up to 100/60 Mbps transition bandwidth for the distance of within
300 meters and 25/5 Mbps for 1.6 kilometers using existing telephone line at ultra-high
performance. Being a plug-n-play device, it provides minimum installation time as well as
minimum expense by allowing video streaming and data sharing with existing telephone
twisted-pair or coaxial cable without interference.
With its ultra-high performance, the PMC modules are capable of transmitting high
definition images; such as High Definition Television (HDTV). This makes the device most
suitable for hotel/motel rooms TV network application. PMC modules also support Ethernet
Bridge and switching functions and are compatible with optical fiber device.
In suppressing radio interference in tunnel or elevator, as well as in long distance
surveillance in farmlands or of bridges across bays, the PMC modules are capable of meeting
these challenges as long as telephone line or cable networks already exist in these locations.
Furthermore, the modules are also equipped with RS485 interfaces for Emergency/Security
Control application.
Lastly, PMC modules feature the Remote Power Feeding (RPF) capability that enables the
device to transmit and provide power over telephone lines. This is an ideal option for applying
surveillance network in remote areas where power source is not available.

3 Unique Features
1. No new wiring network required: Uses existing phone lines (Twisted pair) cables
2. Fast Upgrade: Upgrade analog camera to IP camera.
3. Long distance transmission: Up to 100/60 Mbps transition bandwidth within 300m
without interference.
4. Support multi-camera at the same time: Support Twenty-five cameras at the same
time within 200m in sufficient bandwidth.
5. Easy to Install: Plug-n-play device, no software installation required
6. Auto-detect & adapts itself with environment: Can readjust itself to adapt with
complicated wiring environment, such as elevator or tunnel.
7. Cost saving: Saves material and labor cost due no new wiring required. Hence no
wiring installation man-hour required.

4 Application Case Examples
4.1 Case 1: Remote Power Feeding Relay with PMC Module to
Extend Surveillance Distance from 2 Km to 4 Km (PMC 600)
Objective:
Using PMC 600 module to relay and supply power to remote PMC module in
order to extend surveillance distance from 2KM to 4 KM without the use of repeater.
Network Architecture:
A PMC 600 module is used to relay power to a remote PMC 100 module (located
2Km away at a location with no available power source) to enable the later to extend its
surveillance distance by another of 2Km without using any repeater.
Where:
PMC 600A is the PMC 600 module OT side terminal (set CPE), and has its own
power source of 90~240v AC.
PMC 600B is the remote PMC 600 module RT side terminal (set CO), without its
own power source. It derives its power from PMC 600A (located 2Km away) via
phone line (RJ11)，
PMC 100A is the PMC 100 module (set CPE) without its own power source. It
derives its required power (5v DC) from PMC 600B via phone line (RJ11). Hence
it is able to work with PMC 100B (located another 2Km away).
PMC 100B is the PMC 100 module (set CO), and its power source is DC (5v).
BEWARE!!
Be careful! High-voltage power supply (hvps) may be present in phone line.

6 Q&A
Q1. How to select CO side and CPE side mode PMC?
A1. Referring to the figure below, the PMC B module (nearest to IP camera) is the CO
side and PMC A module (nearest to control center) is the CPE side for valid
operation bandwidth.
Q2. How to identify fast and interleaved mode?
A2. Fast mode guarantees a minimum end to end latency of less than 1 ms.
Interleaved mode provides protection from any impulse noise with duration of less
than 250 μs. Interleaved mode has a maximum end to end latency of 10 ms.
Interleaved mode is the default mode.
Q3. How to select target data rate and target SNR margin:
A3. User can select fixed SNR margin (9 dB) or fixed target data rate. When fixed SNR
margin is selected, the systems will maintain the SNR margin at 9 dB across all
usable loop length. When fixed target data rate is selected, the system will lock the
data rate at 50Mbps/30Mbps whenever the calculated SNR margin is higher than
9 dB. This provides the best system stability and is the default mode.
Q4. Why PMC modules cannot link each other after training?
A4: 1) A pair of PMC modules should consist of a CO side mode module and a CPE
side mode module. They cannot be of the same mode modules.
2) RJ-11 jack and connector may have loose contact.
3) The distance between 2 PMCs modules should not exceed 2Km.
