Quick Start Guide for Cisco Digital Media 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 Audio and Video Sources
Table 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.

Component BNC Input |
The encoder includes inputs for Component video input and |
|
includes BNC-to-RCA adapter. |
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. |
