Encoder 1100
Revised: OL-17934-01, November 10, 2008
There are four requirements for setting up Cisco Digital Media Encoder 1100 for streaming or capturing
video, as follows:
• AC power source (100~240v)
• Audio/Video source (camera, video player, or other A/V output device)
• IP network and/or Internet connection
• First Start setup
Most of the basic operations you will routinely use are performed from the front panel of the encoder,
shown in Figure 1.

Connecting to an Electrical Power Source
Note There are advanced setup options of the encoder that you will need to modify before running an encoder
session. You will use the Niagara SCX® Web Interface to access these options. Refer to the User Guide
for Cisco Digital Media Encoder 1100 for detailed instructions.

Connecting Audio and Video Sources
Tabl e 2 show the audio and video sources on the rear panel of the encoder.
Note Three BNC-to-RCA adapters are included with your encoder. This will convert the Component and
Composite BNC connectors to a common RCA connector found on most consumer video cameras and
video players.

Connection Description
Analog Inputs—Video
Component BNC Input The encoder includes inputs for Component video input and
includes BNC-to-RCA adapter.
Connecting Audio and Video Sources
Composite BNC Input The encoder includes a BNC-to-RCA adapter so that you
can connect a composite RCA video cable to this BNC
connector. Composite RCA connectors are found on most
video playback equipment, such as video players and video
cameras. Composite BNC connectors are found on
professional video playback equipment.
S-Video Input This is a standard consumer video connector found on most
video players and video cameras.
