5. System Modes and Connections

The STREAMERH264 system operates in one of three modes: Encoder, Decoder,
Duplex. STREAMERH264 systems can be connected in either 1-to-1 fashion where one
encoder is connected one decoder or 1-to-many fashion where one enc oder connected
to many decoders. Also, it is possible to connect in duplex mode on both sides to have
bi-directional transmission of video images.
Following chart shows possible combinations of video, audio and serial data
transmission.

System Mode Video Audio Serial Data

Encoder Transmit Transmit/Receive Transmit/Receive
Decoder Receive Transmit/Receive Transmit/Receive

Duplex Transmit/Receive Transmit/Receive Transmit/Receive

Therefore, the system modes are defined by the video communication and all s ystem
modes are capable of bi-directional transmission of audio or serial data.

 Topology

Generally, the encoder and the decoder are connected in 1-to-1 mode. To support
specific situations, 1-to-many connection is also supported.

 1:1 Connection (Unidirection)

Mostly used configuration is 1 to 1 connection. An encoder is installed at a site where
video images can be transmitted and a decoder is installed at a center location to
receive and view the video images on analog monitor. Audio and serial data are
transferred in either direction.

It is another way to use 1 to 1 connection. In this type of connection, not only aud io but
also video is transferred bi-directionally. The video capability
(resolution/framerate/bitrate) in duplex mode connection is restricted than that in
unidirectional connection.

 1:N Connection (Unidirection)

In this configuration, a site can be monitored from many remote center locations.
Although up to 64 decoders can be connected to on encoder, in the real network
environment, network bandwidth can limit the maximum connections.

Functionally, the central monitoring system software can replace the decoder.

Multicast Mode

Within the network that supports multicasting, a large number of decoders can be used
to receive video effectively from an encoder using a single streaming of vi deo and au dio.

 Relaying

In this arrangement, video and audio can be retransmitted from a center to another
center. The arrangement is useful when the network bandwidth to the site is limited
while there are more than one center wanting to monitor the site.

 Central Monitoring System

CMS (Central Monitoring System) is a Windows based remote monitoring program to
access multiple encoders for real-time monitoring or control of the encoders and
connected cameras. Please refer to CMS User Manual for more information on CMS.

2. Installation

1. Connecting Video

 Encoder System

- Connect camera video output line to the encoder (STREAMERH264) video
input port.

 Decoder System

- Connect monitor video input line to the decoder (STREAMERH264) video
output port.

 Duplex System

- Connect camera video output line to the encoder (STREAMERH264) video
input port and connect monitor video input line to the decoder

(STREAMERH264) video output port.

2. Connecting Audio

Audio is bi-directional in any configuration regardless of the system mode. If necessary,
it can be configured to be in transmit-only, receive -only or bi-directional mode.

- Connect audio input and output ports to audio devices accordingly.

- Audio signal is in line level, therefore, microphone or speaker with amplification

function should be used.

3. Connecting Serial Ports

For camera control, PTZ controller(keypboard) and receiver can be connected to serial

ports. Two corresponding serial ports in encoder and decoder which are connected in
connected in 1-to-1 fashion works in pass-through mode. This means that commands
at a local system’s COM1 port will be transparently passed to the remote system’s
COM1 port. Also, a command at a local system COM2 port will pass to the remote
system’s COM2 port.

4. Connecting Sensor and Alarm

Connect sensor and alarm devices to corresponding terminals accordingly.

5. Connecting Power

After confirming the power source, connect power adaptor and connect the 12VDC
connector to the system. Soon the system will boot up to an operating mode.

6. Check if It Works

As soon as the power is supplied to the system, it will boot and, after about 30 seconds,
the system will be ready for operation. Depending on the model of the system, the LED
display may be different as the system is running.

There are two ways to view the video once connections are made between the site and
center system. In order for a proper operation, an IP address must be set accordingly
and please refer to True Manager in Chapter 4 or Remote Setting in Chapter 5 for a
further details.

 Video Monitoring with Decoder System

Once the encoder IP address is set in the remote IP address section of the decoder, the
decoder system will connect to the encoder system and start receiving the video images.
Normally, a monitor connected to the decoder will display video images.

 Video Monitoring using Internet Explorer

If an encoder’s IP address in entered on the Internet Explorer, the system will ask for
confirmation to install Active-X control. Once authorized, the Internet Explorer will start
to display video images from the encoder as shown below.
