Status Page
Picture 10.
Commander’s “Status” page view.
The Status Page lists information messages about the unit’s
present status. The EASITM Configurer divides these messages
into three different categories according to severity and uses
Status Flags to make them more noticeable:
- Alarm messages are indicated with red flag.
- Warning messages are indicated with yellow flag.
- Notifications are indicated with green flag.
Status Flags and the corresponding text labels appears in the
Status field. A short description of the event can be read in the
Description field. You can also hide warnings and/or
notifications by ticking the corresponding checkboxes. Alarms
cannot be hidden. The “Apply” command is not needed to
verify these commands.
12 INE1x1 Series User Manual rev001

Messages are divided into four groups:
- Alarms concerning BIOS.
- Alarms concerning application.
- Warnings concerning application.
- Notifications concerning application.
Alarm
In case the unit senses an alarm a red Alarm flag appears in
the Commander’s Element Directory Window. The
description of this alarm can be read from the Commander’s
Status Page. At the same time a green “M” led indicator in the
unit’s front panel turns to yellow.
Warning
Usually a yellow Warning flag in the Commander’s Element
Directory Window indicates that there is something wrong
with the configuration.
Notification
A Notification flags in the Commander’s Status Page indicates
informative value only.

Commander’s “Video” page view.
On the Video page you can configure the physical
camera interface.
Video Format
The Encoder has support PAL and NTSC video standards. This
setting should match with the video connected to the input of
the Encoder.
Video Source
The Encoder has two alternate video inputs:
- Composite sets the BNC connector as an input source.
- S-Video sets the the mini-DIN connector as an input source.
Video Signal - indicator
Text ‘OK’ on a green background indicates that the Video
Format and Video Source are set correctly and that the
Encoder receives a correct video signal. Text ‘FAILED’ on a red
background indicates a failure in video reception. In this case
check the video source and all connections and match the
above ‘Source’ & ‘Format’ selections according to the
incoming video. Also the Encoder’s front panel led marked “V”
indicates the status of the video signal. Green indicates “OK”
and yellow for failure.
All changes in settings should be confirmed by
pressing Apply .
16 INE1x1 Series User Manual rev001

MPEG Page
Picture 14.
Commander’s “MPEG” page view.
The MPEG page is used for configuring MPEG compression
parameters. In MPEG compression PID stands for Program
Identifier and PMT is Program Map Table. PID is an individual
identifier for separate MPEG data streams and therefore the
audio,video and PMT. PIDs should always have different
values. PMT is a table containing a list of streams and
appropriate PIDs.
PID settings frame
PIDs can be set between 1…255. It is recommended to
include the PCR into video stream by selecting the same value
for both PCR PID and video PID.
GOP Structure frame
GOP (Group of Pictures) structure is a sequence of different
picture types sent in specified order by the Encoder. This
selection has an effect on both latency and bandwidth. Lowest
latency combined with largest bandwidth is achieved by IIIII
frames. Smallest bandwidth and longest latency come with
IBBPBBPBBP selection. IPPPPPPPP represents not so large
bandwith with quite small latency and IBPBPBPBP represents
not so long latency and quite small bandwidth.
INE1x1 Series User Manual rev001 17

Stream Speed frame
This selection allows you to limit the maximum encoded
bitrate. It becomes worthy when designing and managing large
networks with limited bandwidth. This value is a tradeoff
between bandwidth and sharpness of the moving objects in
the video. The higher the value, the sharper are moving details.
In surveillance applications setting 6.75 Mbps gives an
excellent picture in most cases. This value together with
enabled RS -data channels determines the ATM bandwidth
required by one Encoder unit.
Enable MPEG Encoding checkbox
When this box is ticked the Encoder is enabled and functional.
By disabling the Encoder you can shut down the video
bitstream. This selection stops only the video/audio bitstream.
All data channels and return audio are still in normal use.
All changes in settings should be confirmed by
pressing Apply .
