Chapter
1. Introduction
EverFocus EPHD16+U, an embedded Linux-based universal DVR, comes with 16-channel HD-SDI
and analog video inputs. This product supports video signals from D1, 960H, 720P to 1080P in one
single DVR and also features triple streams for live view, playback and recording. The EPHD16+U
supports recording 480 (NTSP) / 400 (PAL) frames per second at 1080P, and can be played back 16
channels of HD-SDI recordings simultaneously.
This DVR supports the pentaplex operation, allowing simultaneously live, recording, playback,
archiving, and remote viewing functions, and can be easily operated through local monitor display
or the remote web page. Its OSD/UI is designed with the user-friendly Graphical User Interface
(GUI) so that operating the DVR becomes more simple and intuitive.
EPHD16+U is equipped with three video outputs (HDMI, CVBS, and VGA) which share the same
functions and can be separately configured. The model also supports RS-485 serial interface, 2
USB interfaces and 1 RJ45 (10/100/1000) Base-T Ethernet interface. Other than that, the
EPHD16+U can be expanded up to 7 SATA devices (6 SATA HDDs and 1 eSATA), ensure the large
capacity of the HD-SDI video recordings.
The EPHD16+U is not only integrated with EverFocus PowerVideo Plus, a central management
system (CMS) but also with our newly released Genie XMS, the powerful and flexible surveillance
management system. Moreover, while on the go, you can also use EverFocus mobile application,
MobileFocus(Plus) with a smartphone, for a continuous surveillance from anywhere at any time.

2. Installation
2.1 Coaxial Cable Preparation
EverFocus HD-SDI technology is mostly based on the SMPTE-292M standard, which defines
HD-SDI (High Definition – Serial Digital Interface) video transmission. The HD-SDI technology
requires higher frequency than traditional CCTV technology. The table below listed the
supported coaxial cable types for EverFocus’ HD-SDI DVR.
Coaxial Cable Requirement
Attenuation at 1 GHz: < 32 dB per 100 m (328 ft)
Return Loss attenuation: > 20 dB
Impedance: 75 Ω
Coaxial Cable Type
RG-59 24 ~ 40 dB 70 ~ 160 m / 230 ~ 520 ft
RG-6 15 ~ 35 dB 100 ~ 190 m / 330 ~ 620 ft
RG-11,
CATV-Lowloss Cables
Note: Low quality cable may produce higher attenuation.
The standard RG-59 cables are originally designed for lower frequencies. However, with
EverFocus’ HD-SDI technology, you can still use the standard RG-59 cable for distances over 100
m / 330 ft. The RG-59 cables with high quality and low loss allow distances up to 160 m / 520 ft.
The RG-6 or RG-11 cables are the best use for longer distance connection.
