Welcome, and thank you for purchasing Teleste’s
EASI™ Products.
General
EASI™ BLUEbox is a stand-alone video, audio & data
Encoder/Decoder device for business television
type applications.
The permitted supply voltage range is 10.5...18 V DC.
The power consumption is 6 W. The permitted operational
temperature range is -10...+55 °C.
These devices provides not only a transparent link of
PAL or NTSC video signal, but also two uni-directional
audio channels and three independent separately
configurable general-purpose asynchronous data
channels in both directions.
BLUEbox MPEG-2 Encoder (BBE) makes up pair with
BLUEbox MPEG-2 Decoder (BBD).
The transmission is accomplished over 10/100Base-Tx
network utilizing TCP/UDP/IP streaming.
These devices are equipped with an MPEG-2 video
compression engine compliant with the ISO/IEC 13818-2
standard. Audio is compressed in the same direction with
video, as described in ISO / IEC 11172-3 MPEG-1 audio
compression standard.
General-purpose asynchronous data channels are
transferred separately from encoded video and audio signals.
Software version
Device functional and operational suitability described in this
manual is for software version BBE 2.4.1 and BBD 2.4.23.
Features
• Selectable CVBS and Y/C video input and output
• Frame rate 25 (PAL), 30 (NTSC)
• Video bit rate scalable up to 3000...10000 kbps
• GOP structure selectable
• Balanced audio input and output
• Bi-directional data interface (EIA232/422/485), user
data rate up to 115kbps / Channel
• Web User Interface / Command Line Interface
• Low latency mode

BLUEbox series user manual rev002 1

Quick Instructions
Install the stand-alone BLUEbox device to the installation place.
A 12 V supply voltage is provided by a CPS22x mains adapter.
Switch on the system power and see that the “module”, “link”
and “video” -indicators on the front panel of the device are lit.
The “module” should lit green to show that hardware is
operating properly.
Connect all needed audio/data signals to their respective
connectors on the device’s rear panel.
Connect either a CVBS video signal to the BNC connector or a
S-VIDEO signal to the mini-DIN connector of the device.
Connect the Ethernet 100Base network to port “10/100Base-Tx”
in the rear panel.
Note! You can create a local WebUI connection by this
connector using an Ethernet cable (e.g. OPUS1CCC0050X
cross-connection cable).
Create management connection to the device either by over an
Ethernet network or by a Mgmt port and then set all necessary
settings in the device.
Default network addresses for the devices are are the following:
BBE: 10.9.96.10 (IP address)
BBD: 10.9.96.20 (IP address)
BBE/BBD: 255.255.255.0 (Netmask address)
Make sure that the device is not indicating any alarms or
warnings. The “module”, “link” and “video” -indicators on the
front panel should now lit green. If the “module” indicator is red,
the device in question has a module error and is giving an alarm.

General
All products in EASI™ IP family have the same connection scheme in
their connectors. Depending on the model, there are Video, S-Video,
Audio, Data, Mgmt & Ethernet 100Base-TX connections. Video,
audio, data and Ethernet port settings can be configured from web
user interface (WebUI) or command line interface (CLI).
Video Connection
The video connection provides one uni-directional video channel line
(BBE -- > BBD). The video connector is either type BNC female
(CVBS) or a 4 pin min-DIN female (S-video, see picture 3).
The impedance of the video (input/output is) 75 Ω. The nominal
input/output level is 1 Vpp.
When the Video connection status is OK, the “video” led on the front
panel is green. If the video signal is missing or it’s level is too low, the
“video” led is yellow.
Audio Connections
The audio connectors (1 & 2) provide one uni-directional audio
channel line (BBE -- > BBD). The audio impedance is constant and
cannot be adjusted. The audio input impedance is >10 kΩand the
output impedance is <10 Ω. The connector is type RJ-45 female
(see picture 4 and table 1 for detailed description).

Data Connections
The data connectors (1, 2 & 3) provide one bi-directional data
channel (BBE <--> BBD). The data type can be set to RS232,
RS422, RS485-2w or RS485-4w. You can configure data settings
by help of WebUI or CLI. The connector is type RJ-45 female
(see picture 5 and table 2 for detailed description).

Management Connection
The Mgmt (Management) connector provides one bi-directional data
channel (RS232). The Mgmt connection is meant for configuration
and controlling of BLUEbox devices locally by CLI. Management
connection between BLUEbox devices and e.g. laptop is based on a
serial data communication by means of any terminal type program
(e.g Windows Hyper Terminal). Management software for BLUEbox
devices is a Command Line Interface (see page 21 for detailed
description). The Mgmt connector is type RJ-45 female (see picture
6 and table 3 for detailed description). The management cable is
type CIC504 (see table 7 on page 8 for pinouts).

Ethernet Connection
The Ethernet connector provides 10/100Base-TX Ethernet network
interface. The connector is type RJ-45 female (CAT5, see picture 7
and table 4 for detailed description).
When the Ethernet connection status is OK, the “link” led on the
front panel is green. If the Ethernet signal is missing or it’s level is too
low, the “link” led is yellow.
Note! It is also possible to create Web User Interface (WebUI)
connection locally into the device via this Ethernet connector.

How to change the settings
General
This chapter tells how you can configure and check the settings of
BLUEbox device with help of web user interface (WebUI) or
command line interface (CLI).
Web User Interface (WebUI)
Teleste’s WebUI provides an user friendly way to configure and
manage BLUEbox device. WebUI session can be accessed using
Internet browser such as Internet Explorer. See next page for
detailed description.
Command line interface (CLI)
Teleste’s BLUEbox device includes also a text-based user interface
(CLI) for configuration purposes.
System Requirements:
* PC equipped terminal emulation program e.g. Hyper Terminal
(supporting VT100 / 102 or ANSI protocols).
* RS232-cable (type Teleste CIC504), see table 7 for cable pinout
* Cross-connected Ethernet cable (e.g. Teleste OPUS1CCC0050X
when using TCP/IP connection).
CLI is accessed Locally via Mgmt connector with a serial connection
cable (CIC504) and any terminal emulation type program (e.g. Hyper
Terminal) or Remotely via TCP/IP connection (e.g. Telnet).
The command structure is the same for both session types.
See page 21 for detailed description.

Web User Interface (WebUI)
Introduction
This chapter tells how to configure the settings using web
user interface.
General
The BLUEbox Encoders (BBE) and the BLUEbox Decoders
(BBD) are fully controllable with the Web User Interface (WebUI).
System Requirements:
* The PC equipped with an Ethernet Network card and an
Internet browser installed.
* Cross-connected Ethernet cable
(e.g. type OPUS1CCC0050X).
You can access the Web User Interface locally via Ethernet
connector or remotely over an TCP/IP Ethernet connection.
Operation
Web User Interface window consists of several pages. Only one
page is completely visible at one time. You can activate a page
simply by clicking the page’s heading (see picture 10).
The Web User Interface has the following configuration display
pages that are introduced in this document:
- General Information
- Network Config
- Configuration
- Video Management
- SAP Management
- Statistics (video statistics, only in BLUEbox Decoder)
- Change Password
- User Management
- Services
- Data Channel 1
- Data Channel 2
- Data Channel 3
- Statistics (data channel statistics)
The information on configuration sheets is shown in data fields
or boxes. You can change settings in data fields or boxes whose
background is white. Place your cursor in the desired data field or
box and enter the new setting. Some settings are entered by
ticking a checkbox or clicking on a radio button, by selecting from
a pull-down list or by scrolling digits with the help of spin buttons.
Information without datafield or box is read only parameter and
can not be change.
