System Connections
Video server operates as one mode; Encoder. Video server systems can be connected in either 1-to-1 fashion
where one encoder is connected one decoder or 1-to-many fashion where one encoder connected to many
decoders.

Transmit/Receive
The system mode is defined by the video communication and the system mode is capable of single directional
transmission of audio and bi-directional of serial data.
Topology
Generally, the encoder and a decoder are connected in 1-to-1 mode. To support specific situation, 1-to-
multiple connection is also supported.
1:1 Connection (Unidirectional Transmission).
The most commonly used configuration is 1 to 1 connection. An encoder is installed at a site where video
images 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).

In this configuration, a site can be monitored from many remote center locations. Maximum connections would
be limited by the network bandwidth.
Functionally, the VMS (Video Management 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 bandwidth
efficiently regardless of the number of decoders. In 1:N connection, a large number 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.
VMS(Video Management System)
VMS (Video Management System) is a Windows based remote monitoring program to access multiple
encoders for real-time monitoring or control of the encoders and connected cameras. Please refer to VMS
User Manual for more information on VMS.

2. Installation
Connecting Video
- Encoder System
Connect camera video output line to the encoder (video server) video input port.
- Connecting with Megapixel Camera
Connect a camera which supports HDMI or 3G/HD-SDI output to the HDMI or 3G/HD-SDI Input port of
video server accordingly.
- Connecting with D1 resolution Camera
Connect a camera to the Video Input port of video server accordingly.
Connecting Audio
It is possible to set the mode as Tx-only or audio off.
- Connect audio input and output ports to audio devices accordingly.
- The Audio signal required is line level, so audio equipment with an amp, mixer or other amplifier should
be used.
Connecting Serial Ports
For camera control, PTZ controller (keyboard) and receiver can be connected to serial ports. Two
corresponding serial ports in encoder and decoder which are connected in connected in 1-to-1 fashion works
in 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 accordingly.
Connecting Power
After confirming the power source, connect power adaptor and connect the 12VDC connector to the system.
Check if it Works
Once the power is supplied to the camera, it will start booting. The system will boot up to an operating mode
after approximately 40-60 seconds. The green LED on the Ethernet port will flash indicating the system is
ready.
Software provided on the disc called True Manager allows you to check the IP address and other network
details of the camera. Please refer to the True Manager manual for instructions on how to find the IP address

- Resolution
Select video encoding solution.
Scaling option is used when encoding resolution is different from input resolution. Without Scaling
option, input video will be cut according to encoding resolution. On the other hand, if Scaling is
selected, input video will be adjusted according to encoding resolution.
- Framerate
Determine the maximum number of frames per second for the video stream.
1,2,3,4,5,6,8,10,15,20,25,30 and 60 frame rate can be selected. The actual frame rate of video can
be less than the maximum frame rate set due to the network bandwidth limitation
- Preference
Select encoding mode to control video quality or bitrate: Quality(VBR) or Bit rate(CBR). If ‘Bitrate’
selected, the video encoding will be effected by the ‘Bitrate’ value entered. Therefore, “Bitrate” mode
corresponds to CBR (Constant Bit rate) encoding. If ‘Quality’ selected, the video encoding will be
effected by the quality of image selected. Therefore, “Quality” mode corresponds to VBR (Variable Bit
Rate) encoding.
- Quality
Select Video quality. 7 levels of quality are available.
Quality mode (VBR encoding) tries to encode every frame in a constant quality. Therefore, resulting
bitrate may vary a lot depending on the complexity or activity changes in the input video. It is
preferred when constant video quality is required and network bandwidth is enough for delivering the
stream of highly varying bitrate.
- Bitrate
Determine bitrate value between 32 ~ 16Mbps.
Bitrate mode (CBR encoding) allows you to set a fixed target bitrate that consumes a predictable
amount of bandwidth. In order to keep the bitrate limit, video quality is controlled dynamically
according to the complexity or activity changes in the input video.
- I-Frame Interval
Determine I-frame Interval between 1 and 255.
- H.264 Profile
Select H.264 Profile : High Profile or Baseline Profile
The standard defines various sets of capabilities which are referred to as profiles,
targeting specific classes of application.
