1 Product Overview

1.1 Introduction

The Video Matrix Platform is designed by referring to ATCA (Advanced Telecommunications
Computing Architecture) as the modern telecommunication-level device which supersede DVR,
decoder, analog matrix, video wall controller and is compatible with past and current network
monitoring environments.
Main Application: flexible equipping of Function Card; supporting analog camera, HD-SDI
camera, input of various IPCs; outputs of BNC, VGA, HDMI, DVI. It achieves matrix switch,
encoding, decoding and etc. with these abundant interfaces. It supports analysis of video by
video intelligent analysis card, and network storage that leads to centralized storage
management. It also supports online real-time preview and optical cascading function of multiple
matrixes.

Figure 1- 1

1.2 Features

This product is a digital video matrix system with functions of digital video switch, multiple
operation insertion, centralized management, and distributed deployment. It achieves switches
among analog signal, digital signal, HD network signal and HD digital video signal and making
HD image available on video walls. It is a platform product integrating video signal
encoding/decoding, centralized data storage, online real-time preview and various networks, pre­plan, log, user authority management, device maintenance functions and etc., which allows HD
video command/dispatch and video conference.

1.2.1 Structure

 19 inch 4U standard rack case for universal uses.
 Card-type large scale ATCA structure for simple extension and flexibility.
 2 groups of fans for intelligent temperature controlling, contributing to stabilized air passage

with the case structure to balance internal temperature.

 Dual-channel redundant power supply for continuous working of device and security of data.
 Double blade Function Card.

1.2.2 Hardware

2

 Intel x 86 Platforms for device expandability and fluency when system is in full load.
 High speed connector on compression card, x4 PCI-E gen2，12V DC power supply, for

fluency of high speed data flow.

 Compression card’s hot swap button and indicator for users’ flexible extension on the

application and knowledge of compression card status.

 Various interfaces of compression card, such as USB, serial, Internet port, HDMI, BNC, DVI

and etc. which guarantee device functions and simplify operation and adjustment done by
users and technical staffs.

 Each Function Card works independently to balance system’s work load and ensure fluency.

 Duel-high-speed non blocking design for rear panel to meet demand of large volume A/V

data transmission.

1.2.3 Software

 Embedded LINUX OS: safe, stable, efficient, and easy for development and maintenance.

Video Encoding/Decoding

 Each A/V encode card can support 32-ch of BNC or 8-ch of HD-SDI, 4-ch of DVI (supports

DVI, VGA, HDMI signal) and 8-ch of HDCVI.

 Each A/V decode card can support 64-ch of D1 or 16-ch HD1080P decoding output.

Network Function

 2 RJ45 interfaces, supporting 1000M network.
 Support TCP/IP protocol including TCP，UDP，RTP，RTSP, PPPoE，DHCP，DNS，

DDNS，NTP，SADP，SMTP，ISCSI and etc.

 Support NAS, IP SAN network centralized storage, and support receiving system log

remotely.

 Support management software to achieve remotely switching between analog and digital

videos on video wall and control with keyboard.

 Support remotely receiving and configuring parameter, remotely rebooting and remotely

inputting/outputting parameters.

Video Management

 Support HD, SD digital matrix, and direct switch as non-compression bit stream which

eliminate image quality reduction after multiple switches of video signal.

 Support HD, SD network IPC matrix.
 Support digital video full crossing switch matrix, based on different applied compression card

combination, forming different digital video full crossing switch matrix with different
specifications.

 A/V decode card supports HDMI, DVI, VGA and BNC interfaces support up to

1080P(1920*1080P) resolution output.

 Allow operator to loop display different images on same screen, pre-set and switch as group.

3

 Splicing image favorites, simplified operations on multiple video channels.

Other

 Complete set of operation, alarm, abnormality and log recording, simplifying user and

technical staff’s maintenance.

 Complete user authority management and storage management, while the authority can be

subdivided into a channel and a single HDD, making the device more user-friendly.

 Support local and remote update, guaranteeing update to catch changing market demand.
 Support network storage to accommodate demand from medium to large monitoring

systems.

 Multiple users and clients login, convenient for users to preview and manage monitoring

whenever and wherever possible.

3.1 Software Interface Basic Operation

3.1.1 Boot Up Device

Plug in power line, and press power switch on front panel. Power indicator turns on and device
boots up followed by boot interface which lasts for 90s.

When you boot up device, please keep the following in mind:

1) Make sure whether the supplied voltage is within 100~240V 47~63Hz. Turn on the device
after you check power line connection.

2) We recommend you to use power supply with stable voltage and little interference (refer to
international standard), which benefit the device to work stably and last longer. This will also
benefit external devices such as camera. UPS is the best choice if possible.

3.1.2 Shut Down Device

1. Enter main menu  in shutdown system select shutdown device.

2. Press ON button on panel for 5s to shutdown.
Note:

 Method 1 is recommended.
 Stop all performance of the device, and then you may unplug the device from power

supply.

3.1.2.1 Outage Recovery

When the device is under working status, and there is an outage or forced shutdown, the
system can automatically save and resume previous working status after power recovery.

3.1.2.2 Replace Button Battery

Please make sure to use the same battery model if possible.
We recommend replace battery regularly (such as one-year) to guarantee system time
accuracy.

Note: Before replacement, please save the system setting, otherwise, you may lose the

data completely!

3.1.2.3

3.1.3 Enter System Menu

After you properly turn on the device, system pops up the startup wizard. Click the Cancel button;
you can go to the system login interface. Click the Next Step button; you can go to the startup
wizard interface. Here you can set general, encode, schedule, record control, and network.
Please see Figure 3- 1.

Figure 3- 1

The system login interface is shown as in Figure 3- 2.
System consists of four accounts (defaulted):

 Username: admin. Password: admin. (administrator, local and network)
 Username: 888888. Password: 888888. (administrator, local only)
 Username: 666666. Passwords: 666666(Lower authority user who can only monitor, playback,

backup and etc.)

 Username: default. Password: default(hidden user)

You can use USB mouse, front panel, remote control or keyboard to input. About input method:

Click to switch between numeral, English character (small/capitalized) and denotation
and click designated buttons on soft keyboard with the mouse.

Note:
For security reason, please modify password after you first login. To add user group, user

When someone viciously masks the lens, or the output video is in one-color due to the
environments light change, the system can alert you to guarantee video continuity. You may
enable alarm upload, show message and send email function for alert.

Note: You can refer to setting in motion detect .

Explanation

1) In Detect interface, copy/paste function is only valid for the same type, which means you
cannot copy a channel setting in video loss mode to camera masking mode. (i.e. Camera
masking setting of channel 1 can be pasted to camera masking of other channels, but
cannot be pasted to other settings

2) You can only perform default operation for detection type in your current channel. (i.e.
When you operate in camera masking interface, your default operation will not affect
detection settings other than camera masking.)

Note: In motion detect settings, copy/paste function is not valid for area

parameters since video content in each channel are different.
