1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 About This Manual
This User Manual provides information on operating and managing the DVS-1000VM IP Video Server
unit. The Manual includes installation, operation and configuration instructions.
1.2 Features
DVS-1000VM is a digital IP video and audio transmission system that provides surveillance and
control of remote analog Video cameras and remote audio devices, based on IP networks via WAN,
LAN, ADSL/VDSL, or Wireless LAN. DVS-1000VM operates in an Encoder mode compressing video
and audio to a data stream and transmitting it via LAN/WAN or Internet.
DVS-1000VM provides high performance picture quality with motion adaptive 3D de-interlace, 3D
noise reduction, cross color suppression, and video enhancement capabilities. DVS-1000VM also
supports analog stereo audio input / output, microphone input, RS-485, and GPIO port for sensor
input and alarm relay output.

1.5 System Modes and Connections
DVS-1000VM operates as an Encoder connecting an analog Video Input to an Ethernet network
supporting multiple up to 32 simultaneous connections dependant on available network bandwidth.
Following table displays status of video, audio and serial data when connected to the network.
System Mode Video Audio Serial Data
Encoder Transmit Transmit/Receive Transmit/Receive


Topology
Generally, the encoder and is connected in 1 to 1 mode. To support specific situation, 1-to-multiple
connection is also supported.
1:1 Connection (Unidirectional Transmission).
An encoder is installed at a site where video images can be transmitted from and a PC or NVR is
installed at a control center location to receive and view the video images on PC monitors. Audio and
serial data are also transmitted in either direction.
1 : N (32 max) Connection (Unidirectional Transmission).
Although up to 32 computers can be connected to an encoder, in a real network environment, maximum
connections would be limited by available network bandwidth. In addition a “CMS” (Central Monitoring
System) software can monitor multiple remote locations simultaneously.



Multicast Mode
In a network environment supporting multicast mode, if Multicast is setup as a system protocol, you can
use bandwidth efficiently regardless of the number of decoders. In 1 : N connection, a large number of
computers can receive audio and video data from an encoder by using a single streaming transmission.
CMS(Central Monitoring System)
CMS (Central Monitoring System) or LuxRiot is a
Windows based remote monitoring program
capable of accessing multiple DVS-1000VM
encoders (as well as a variety of IP cameras) in
real-time for monitoring or control of the encoders
and connected cameras or PTZ’s.
Please refer to the LuxRiot User Manual for more
information on CMS.

2. INSTALLATION
2.1 Connecting Video
Encoder System
•Connecting a D1 resolution Camera
Connect an analog camera or Video source to the Video Input port of DVS-1000VM.
You can also use the looping out Video connector to connect to an analog monitor or other device.
2.2 Connecting to the Network (LAN)
•Connect a CAT 5e or CAT6 LAN Cable to the LAN port of the DVS-1000VM accordingly.
•The Yellow LED on the RJ45 Port will turn ON indicating a Link to the network
NOTE: If you plan to power this device via POE (Power Over Ethernet) you will need to connect
the LAN port to a POE enabled Network Switch with 12Watts of available Power.
CAUTION: Use only one power source) POE or 12VDC input. DO NOT CONNECT both power
sources at the same time as you may damage the unit and void the warranty.
2.3 Connecting Audio
Audio is bi-directional in any configuration. If necessary, it can be configured to be in transmit-only,
receive only or bi-directional mode.
•Connect audio Input and Output ports to a Microphone or an audio input and speakers accordingly
using a standard 2.5mm mini plug (Mono or Stereo).
•Audio signal are line level, therefore, microphone or speaker with amplification is required.
•
2.4 Connecting the Serial Port
The RS-485 port on the CVRS1000T can be connected to external equipment such as PTZ receiver
or High Speed Dome. A PC client can send PTZ commands to external equipment via this serial port.
2.5 Connecting Sensor and Alarm
Connect sensor and alarm devices to corresponding terminals.
Alarm Input is TTL level (short to Ground to trigger) and alarm output is a NC dry relay contact rated at
500mA at 12VDC. When power is applied to the encoder the relay contact is open (NO). The relay can
be configured as NO or NC following an event trigger.
The following describes the the I/O functions.
GPIO_IN_x and GPIO_OUT_x;
- GPIO_IN_x is input from external device.
- Event trigger can be set by motion, GPIO_IN_1, or GPIO_IN_2.
- GPIO_OUT_x output can be determined by motion, GPIO_IN_1, or GPIO_IN_2.
It has no direct relation to Event trigger setting. Even if GPIO1 item is not set(checked),
- GPIO_OUT_x will bypass GPIO_IN_1 input level when there is a transition in GPIO_IN_1 if
GPIO_OUT1 is set to GPIO1.

DVS-1000VM
Product Launch Group, LLC. 10
Event trigger by GPIO_IN_1;
- If GPIO1 is set to "On," then an event trigger is made when GPIO_IN_1 is changed from Low to High.
- If GPIO1 is set to "Off," then an event trigger is made when GPIO_IN_1 is changed from High to Low.
- If GPIO1 is set to "Change," then an event trigger is made when GPIO_IN_1 is changed from Low to
High or High to Low.
2.6 Connecting Power
After confirming the power source (POE or 12VDC via supplied Plug in Transformer) connect power
adaptor and connect the power plug to the unit. The red LED will come on indicating power supplied to
the unit. It takes approximately 1 minute for the system to boot and become operational.
2.7 Verify Connectivity
Once power is supplied to the encoder, it will start booting. The system will become operational
(accessible) after approximately 40-60 seconds. The green LED on the Ethernet port will flash
indicating the system is ready. The default URL is: http://192.168.10.2
Software provided on the included CD-ROM called PL-CAM Manager allows you to check the IP
address and other network details of the camera. Please refer to the Appendix at the end of this
document for instructions on how to find the IP address of the camera and change it as required to
match your network environment.
Encoder Network Port LED Display and Power LED
Once Power is applied to the unit either via the POE switch or the external 12VDC power supply, the Red
Power LED (8) will turn ON. The LED indicators on either side of the RJ45 Network port will indicate the
encoder status.
Once the encoder is connected to a network the Orange “LINK” LED will turn ON and the Green LED
“ DATA” will blink as video or audio transmissions occur.

3. System Operation- Web Confi uration
3.1. Remote Video Monitoring
There are two ways to view video when the connections are completed between a site and a control center.
For proper operation, an IP address must be set to match your network. Please refer to Prolific PL-CAM
Manager at the end of this document for further details.
Default ID : admin Default Password : admin
Video Monitoring using Internet Explorer
