DV-IP DECODER
Introduction
What is the…
DV-IP Decoder ?
As an integral part of Dedicated Micros Video Management System, the DV-IP Decoder is a
viewing and control client for multiple video images transmitted from the range of NetVu Connected
products.
Using an attached control solution such as the Pick-a-Point Digital Matrix System, the DV-IP
Decoder can view and control cameras attached to DVRs and servers from across the system,
regardless of geography – displaying the selected cameras on its monitor wall. A range of DV-IP
Decoder models are available with composite and Composite/HD outputs, allowing you to build
exible video walls combining any combination of analogue or digital screens.
The DV-IP Decoder, using its powerful codec architecture, is the ideal product to deliver and view,
high denition footage, live in real-time, all streamed seamlessly across a network
Part of a growing number of Dedicated Micros products with high denition capabilities, the DV-IP
Decoder is available with HDMI monitor outputs to provide greater denition and image quality. The
addition of composite outputs also allows scalable video walls that combine any combination of
analogue or digital screens.
With various composite and high denition models available the DV-IP Decoder can offer scalable
video wall solutions that suit any requirement, allowing analogue, IP and Megapixel images to be
viewed together seamlessly irrespective of the source devices location.
The DV-IP Decoder is equipped with a sophisticated digital matrix Video Management System that
enables cameras connected to any NetVu Connected device on the same network to be viewed and
controlled as if they were connected directly to the DV-IP Decoder.
The DV-IP Decoder includes both Gigabit and 10/100 Ethernet connections. By utilising the Gigabit
port to connect NetVu Connected video servers, encoders and cameras, including megapixel
cameras, the user is able to view and control images without having to transfer data across the
company network.
As part of Dedicated Micros range of next generation CCTV products, the DV-IP Decoder can offer
users remote access to the advanced viewing functions already within products such as DV-IP
Server, DV-IP RT, DV-IP Express, DV-IP HD and SD Advanced. Users can take advantage of
features to view, review and control cameras that are connected to remote DVRs and Video Servers.

DV-IP DECODER
This procedure shows the eight output version.
Step 1 Connecting Monitors
The DV-IP Decoder supports up to 4 or 8 connected Monitors (dependant on model) via the 75Ω
BNC connectors. Connect monitors to the outputs, starting from ‘Mon 1’.
5.12
Step 2 Monitor
The DV-IP Decoder also supports 2 High Dention monitor outputs via ports ‘HDMI 1’
and ‘HDMI 2 (High Denition 8 Output model only).
Page 11

DV-IP DECODER
Step 3 Connecting to the Network
The DV-IP Decoder has both 10/100/1000Mbps (labelled NET 1) and 10/100Mbps (labelled NET 2)
auto-detecting network ports.
The Network port labelled ‘NET 1’ should be used for 1Gb Network Connections. If utilising this port,
network conguration should be undertaken via the Conguration Menu pages:GbNetwork.
For other Network connections, utilise Network port labelled ‘NET 2’. If using this port, network
conguration should be undertaken via the Conguration Menu pages:Network Settings->Network.
IMPORTANT: If utilising both Network ports, different IP addresses must be assigned to
both connections. These IP addresses must not be in the same subnet.
It is possible to utilise only one network port; however this will limit the performance of the unit and
should be avoided if possible.
Note: The unit will not act as a router between the subnets on NET 1 and NET 2. A 3rd party
router would need to be congured for this purpose
Use a CAT5 cable to connect the unit to the network.
By default the unit is congured for DHCP i.e. the unit is automatically allocated an IP address from
a network DHCP server.
DHCP works by assigning an IP address at initial connection to the network. It is possible however
that this IP address can change without notication i.e. following power failure. It is therefore
recommended that the DV-IP Decoder be allocated a xed IP address. A xed IP address can be
assigned via the Conguration Menu pages:Network Settings->Network->IP Address or Network
Settings->GbNetwork->IP Address.
Use the ‘GbNetwork’ menu for 1Gb Network connections (using network port ‘NET1’) and the
‘Network’ menu for other network connections (using network port ‘NET2’).
When the unit is powered up, the network address can be found by viewing on a local monitor and
navigating to Conguration Menu pages:System->IP Address.
Refer to ‘Conguring The Unit’ for further guidance on locating the unit’s IP address and for details of
the default DNS (Domain Name Server) address.

Step 4 Connecting Serial Ports
RS232
RS485
Refer to Appendix B for guidance on locating the unit’s IP address via a serial port connection.

DV-IP DECODER
Step 5 Connecting IR Remote Control Extender
Connect the IR Remote Control Extender to the IR Input socket. This must be connected to
successfully use the IR Remote Control.
Step 6 Connecting Power
The DV-IP Decoder has an internal power supply unit. Connect the mains lead to the unit and then
to the wall socket, or to a fused spur connection. Check local regulations before installation. Some
countries require an Alarm/Security device be connected to a fused spur and not a wall outlet
socket.

Conguring the Unit
The unit can be congured either on a local monitor or over the network using a PC with Internet
Explorer or similar browser. Both have near identical menu interfaces.
Accessing the menus on a local monitor
The Conguration pages can be displayed on a local monitor connected to BNC Connector ‘Mon
1’ or via the HDMI port on the 8 Output High Denition model). When connected, press the MENU
button on the IR Remote Control.
Note: If the IR Remote Control does not open the conguration menus, press the DVR button to
make sure it is in DVR mode, then press the MENU button again.
Accessing the menus on a PC web browser
Locating the Unit IP address
The IP address of the unit is required to access the webpages. It can be identied from the
conguration menu pages using the local monitor, press the MENU button on the IR Remote Control
and navigate to the System Settings->System menu to nd the DHCP assigned IP address.
Note: The unit can be installed in a DHCP network environment where an IP address, subnet
mask and default gateway will automatically be allocated from the network DHCP Server
(DHCP is enabled by default).
Note: If a DNS (Domain Name Server) address is not to be used, it is strongly advised that a xed
IP address be assigned (a DHCP assigned address can change without notication i.e.
following power failure).
If using the 1Gb network capability (network connection via Network port ‘Net 1’) a xed IP
address can be assigned via the Network Settings->1Gb Network menu.
If connected via Network port ‘Net 2’, a xed IP address can be assigned via the Network
Settings->Network menu.
For information on locating the unit’s IP address via a PC and serial port connection, refer to
Appendix A.
Default DNS Address
It is recommended that a DNS (Domain Name Server) address be congured. Assigning a
recognisable name can help a remote user to locate the unit.
If no System name is allocated to the DV-IP Decoder, the default DNS address will be:
machine serial number.yourdomain.com
• <machine serial number> is displayed in the System menu page
and also on the underside of the unit.
• <yourdomain> is the name assigned to your DNS
network.
The default DNS address can be renamed via the Network Settings->Network menu. Following
renaming, the DNS address will be:
yourname.yourdomain.com
• ’ yourname‘ is the name assigned via the Network
menu.
Note: To activate an assigned DNS address, it will be necessary to reboot the unit. The DV-IP
Decoder can be rebooted via System Settings:Maintain-> Reset.

unit via ‘Network Settings->Server Name’ is unique within the
workgroup being used.
To access the unit via a PC running SMB (and has access to the
same Workgroup); open My Network Places->Entire Network-
