1MPH200 series video encoders user manual
General
MPH series encoders are ONVIF (Open Network Video Interface Forum)
compliant products. This provides wide interoperability with any ONVIF
compliant device or system.
Many similarities exist between the MPH series video encoders; the main
difference being the number of video channels available and the mechan-
ics. MPH series video encoders are high performance video processing
products encoding real time video in mission critical applications for
customers in Transportation, City Center Monitoring, and Corporate
Security. MPH200 series encoders are temperature-hardened compact
size stand-alone video processing products in the MPX platform.
MPH200 series video encoders provides in addition to transparent link
of CVBS or HD-SDI video signal up to 1080p resolution (SMTP292M),
independently congurable general-purpose bi-directional asynchronous
data, bi-directional audio channels and bi-directional contact closure
channels. Additionally a layer 2 manageable Ethernet switch is inte-
grated into the encoder. The Ethernet switch comes with four gigabit
ports and full-feature layer 2 switching functions such as RSTP, IGMP,
QoS and VLAN.
The encoded signal from MPH series encoder can be decoded with MPC/
MPX (except H.264) or VMX series HW and/or SW, as well as with industry
standard SW players such as Quicktime and VLC. The transmission is
accomplished over 10/100/1000BASE-T or 100BASE-FX (SFP) or
1000BASE-X (SFP) network utilizing IP/Ethernet streaming.
MPH series video encoders are equipped with the H.264, MPEG-4,
MJPEG and MPEG-2 video encoding engine. The default encoding
combination is H.264, MPEG-4 and MJPEG. MPEG-2 is an add-on
option, and it should be ordered separately.
The H.264 video encoding engine is compliant with the ISO/IEC 14496-10
(H.264@MP, BP, CBP) standard. The MPEG-4 video encoding engine is
compliant with the ISO/IEC14496-2 (MPEG-4@SP/ASP L5) simple prole
standard. The MJPEG video encoding engine is compliant with the ISO/
IEC 13818-2 (RFC 2435) standard. The MPEG-2 video encoding engine is
compliant with the ISO/IEC13818 (MPEG-2 MP@ML) standard.
General-purpose asynchronous data channels are transferred sepa-
rately from the encoded video signals.

Getting started Quick instructions
Install the temperature hardened stand-alone MPH200 series encoder to
the installation location. A +12 VDC supply voltage is provided by a CPS25x
series power supply (see example picture beside), or alternately through the
LAN cable (CAT5) when using Power over Ethernet (PoE+) technology.
Connect all needed signals to their respective connectors on the
device’s front panel:
• HD-SDI / CVBS video signals to the BNC female connector(s).
• Data and contact closure signals to the screw terminal connector.
• Audio signal(s) to the screw terminal connector.
• Ethernet network to Ethernet connectors.
Switch on the power and wait until the power led “M” lits green (start-up
time approx. 100 secs). This indicates that the device hardware is
operating properly and ready for usage.
Note! If led doesn’t lit green, refer to “M- LED indicator” section to
know the status of the device.
Log on to the device using the IP address assigned by DHCP server,
or locally from a Mgmt port (CLI) and then set all necessary settings in
the device.
Note! Device uses always two IP-addresses, one for encoder and an
another for internal switch management. By default device will
automatically assign IP addresses via DHCP. If network doesn’t
contain DHCP server, then the MPH encoder shall use Zeroconf
(link-local) as DHCP fallback (see section below).
Device’s IP address
There are two ways of assigning IP address to the MPH device. The IP
address can be automatically assigned via DHCP, or you can set it
manually as a static IP address. Factory default IP settings for the
device is DHCP enabled.
By default when you have DHCP server in the network, DHCP server
assigns an IP address automatically to the MPH encoder. The DHCP server
offers an IP address from its address pool when a device is starting up.
If DHCP server is not available device uses zero conguration (link-local
address) as DHCP fallback. With Zeroconf protocol MPH chooses an IP
address randomly in the IP range from 169.254.0.1 to 169.254.255.254.
Alternatively you can manually assign the IP address, subnet mask and
gateway address to the unit.
If there is no DHCP address in the network, the unit chooses randomly
an IP address from the private IP range 169.254.0.1 - 169.254.255.254.
In this case in order to nd the chosen IP address you have two options.
You can use Teleste MPH Discovery Tool to browse all the available
ONVIF compliment devices in the network, note that your PC IP address
should be in the same IP range. Second option is, connecting to the
MPH device locally via the serial port and use the CLI (Command Line
Interface) to see device IP address.
See section Network command to see how to change IP address via CLI.

Ethernet connections
The unit has a built-in 4-port managed Ethernet switch and supports both
Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet connection speeds. Ethernet
interface type is either a xed electrical (copper), or has support for a
small form-factor pluggable transceiver (SFP) module. Supported SFP
transceivers are specied by Teleste. Please see the latest list of available
SFP products.
Local ports, electrical interfaces
Device include two (2) xed electrical Ethernet connectors. The electrical
Ethernet connector type is a RJ-45 female. The interfaces are supporting
10/100/1000Base-T operation (Gigabit Ethernet).
Power over Ethernet (PoE+) option
MPH200 series encoders supports PoE standard (PoE+ 802.3at class 4).
This means that the encoders can be powered through the LAN cable
without the need of individual power supplies. PoE is available from port
number three (3).
Requirements for the use of PoE:
• A Power over Ethernet (PoE) compliant switch or hub.
• MLH251 license activation.
Note! MPH200 series device PoE port is only used to powered
device itself, it not provide output power to other devices.
Up-link ports, optical interfaces (SFP)
SFP modules for optical Ethernet operation are available with a variety of
different types (see the latest list of available SFP products), allowing users
to select the suitable module for to provide the required optical reach over
the available optical bre type. The optical connector type is LC/PC (single
or dual). Ethernet interface speed is 1000BASE-X (Gigabit Ethernet).
When installing the bre optic cable, do not exceed the minimum
bending radius when connecting cable to the system.
Optical Ethernet connection meets class 1 laser safety requirements of
IEC 60825-2: 2004 and US department of health services 21 CFR
1040.10 and 1040.11 (1990) when operated within the specied tempera-
ture, power supply and duty cycle ranges.

How to unplug or plug-in the SFP transceiver module
If your up-link port requirements change, simply unplug the existing SFP
module, and plug-in the new module. The SFP transceiver modules
must be installed before the encoder is powered on. Installing SFP:
1. Switch off the unit supply voltage.
2. Mount the SFP transceiver to the unit (see bottom instructions).
3. Connect the bre optic cable(s).
4. Ensure that the remote end of the bre is already connected to an
active switch.
5. Switch on the unit supply voltage.
The SFP transceiver module has a bale-clasp latch that makes easier to
install or remove the module. Protect the SFP module by inserting a
clean dustplug into the module after you remove the ber cable. Be sure
to clean the optic surfaces of the ber cable before you plug the cable
into another module. When using 2 bre version SFP, select carefully
the correct optical port for TX and RX operation.
To unplug and plug-in the SFP module, follow these steps
1. Open the bale clasp on the SFP module by pressing the clasp
downward until it is in a horizontal position.
2. Use a small at-blade screwdriver or other long, narrow instrument to
push on the hinge pin to unlock the SFP cage latch.
3. Grasp the SFP module by the bale clasp and gently pull it out of the
SFP cage .
To plug-in the module:
1. Orient the transceiver with the bale clasp on the bottom, close the
bale clasp by pushing it up over the transceiver, then gently insert
the transceiver into the port until it clicks into place.
Note! Reboot the device when the SFP is changed.
Some generic notes for successful optical connections:
• Ensure that the ber patch cord is damage-free (ber condition can
be easily checked by a visible laser tester)
• Do not exceed the minimum bending radius of the bre
• Avoid sharp corners on cable shelves and in cable management
in overall
• Make sure that correct optical connectors are used
• Open connectors are always secured by dustcaps during maintenance
• Always before mating clean all connectors (wet cleaning by high
purity alcohol & drying, or dry cleaning with reel-based lint-free wipes,
ber adapters may require special ferrule end-face cleaning tools)
• Before making any visual inspections ensure that system has been
shutdown or no optical power is present
• For fault nding at least a optical power meter is required, a complex
ber cable environment may require use of an OTDR equipment.

CLI – command line interface
MPH series video encoder include a command line interface (CLI) for
conguration purposes. The CLI is a text-based interface that allows the
user to interact with the operating system by entering commands and
optional arguments. CLI is accessible through any terminal emulator
application (e.g. Hyper Terminal or PuTTY). The command structure is
the same for all session types. A typical CLI usage is to access the
device IP address settings. By default the data channel 2 is set for CLI
usage. The data channel 2 can be set to normal RS232 data mode with
WebUI when needed.
Note! Data 2 channel can be set either general RS232 data
transport mode or CLI mode (not simultaneously). The default
factory setting is CLI mode (Hard and soft factory reset restores
the data channel 2 to the CLI mode).
Local CLI connection
The local CLI session can be establish via data channel 2 by using a
serial data connection (RS232) cable (type Teleste CIC506).
Note! Data 2 port must be set to CLI mode .
Remote CLI connection
Over the IP network you can make Telnet or SSH connection to open the
command line interface remotely. SSH protocol secures your data session.
Note! Remote CLI is always available through network, even

Event management system
MPH event management system
MPH encoders internally controls events as specied by ONVIF. Events
are generated from Digital IO inputs, motion detection, tampering
detection and video signal loss and each of those generate event with
different Topic. In addition to event topics, events contain data describ-
ing the event such as the video interface related, amount of motion and
threshold, etc.
The event data is available in the “Message Content lter” box, which is
XPath format for matching XML content. Triggering occurs when dened
“Topic expression” and “message content lter” matches the internal event.
MPH encoder can trigger actions for video, audio (only MPH200 series)
and contact closers (Digital I/O) output. These events are also avail-
able for video management system to trigger congurable alarms. You
can add multiple event at the same time and each one triggers action.

Video channel conguration
MPH is an ONVIF compliant encoder and video channel conguration is
designed according to ONVIF standard.
Note! Before modifying the conguration of a video prole, make
sure that video stream is stopped on the MAIN page (changing
only encoding parameters don’t require stopping of the stream).

Video streaming methods
Video input is the physical video connector (BCN female) available for
video signal. Naturally each video input can be connected to a camera or
any other standard video source. The default video input mode is set to
PAL/NTSC format (CVBS). MPH241 model has also support fot HD-SDI.
High-denition serial digital interface (HD-SDI)
MPH241 encoder supports HD-SDI digital video interface. HD-SDI inter-
face is dened by SMPTE 292M standard and allows bitrates up to 1.485
Gbit/s. Progressive input signals are recommended to provide the best
picture quality. The HD-SDI support can be enabled with MLH213 license.
When changing the video format from CVBS to HD-SDI, the device must
reboot. The loop-through port is not available in HD-SDI mode.

Media prole (video)
MPH series encoders has a total of six (6) media proles. Each media
prole can be set separately for individual resolution, frame rate, GOP
structure and bitrate, within the processing power of the device.
Click “Media Proles” under the Media Conguration menu. Media
Prole Congurations page appears on the screen. On this page you
can associate virtual video sources with physical video inputs and
encoding proles.
By default this page contains six different media proles.
Notes! It is not possible to change encoding format /resolution
and video input settings on this page. Before modifying the proles
the video stream must be stopped on the MAIN page.

Video interfaces
Click “Video Interfaces” under the Interface Conguration menu. Video
Interfaces page appears on the screen. In this page you can see the
number of physical video inputs available and adjust the brightness,
contrast and saturation values for them.
When monitoring an area for security,
there may be certain parts within the
camera’s eld of view that need to be
kept private. Masking is a feature that
enables these areas to be concealed
from view.
Video status. The colour bar reect
the status of the video. Green colour
bar means that there is video signal.
Yellow colour bar with text tells that
there is no video.

User can congure the encoder to
automatically hide certain areas with
a mask, which can be adjusted in
terms of its colour .
Mask editor shows a screenshot from
camera view and overlays a
translucent mask on the image.
Draw mode: Masked (highlighted)
areas are private areas that are
removed (concealed) from
camera’s view.
Brush size: Select brush size
for masking.
Mask color: Depending on the
brightness of the image snapshot,
appropriate mask preview color can
be chosen. This color affects the

JPEG snapshot conguration
Additionally there is a JPEG image capture feature that allows taking
JPEG snapshots from the video and storing them into a ftp server. It is
also possible view JPEG captures with http.
Continuous:Device generates a
snapsthot at specied interval (period)
and sends the images to congured
FTP server.
Triggered:Snapshots are generated
when internal event triggers it. Trigger-
ing event can be motion detection,
tampering or digital IO event.
%d: The day of the month as a decimal
number (range 01...31).
%H: The hour as a decimal number using a
24-hour clock (range 00...23).
%I: The hour as a decimal number using a
12-hour clock (range 01...12).
%m:The month as a decimal number
(range 01...12).
%M: The minute as a decimal number
(range 00...59).
%S: The second as a decimal number
(range 00...60).
%4: The milliseconds as a decimal number
(range 0000...9999).
%p: Either “AM” or “PM” according to the
given time value, or the corresponding
strings for the current locale. Noon is
treated as “PM” and midnight as “AM”.
%y: The year as a decimal number without
a century (range 00...99).
%Y: The year as a decimal number
including the century.
%1: Device hostname (manually conf. or
received from DHCP-server).
_________________________________________________________
Snapshot generation can operate in two separate modes: Continous
and triggered mode.
Keeps the event state unchanged for the dened period for instance if an
Specied interval when device generates a snapsthot.
After event has occured, device sends rst congured number of images
before the event and then continues sending images until dened timeout
[ms] elapses.
Denes the remote FTP server address. URI can contain arbitrary
directory path and device shall create the directory if it does not yet exist.
Set username for server.
Set password for server.
Note! Hard Factory reset restores admin password to defaults.
