2 HARDWARE DESCRIPTION
This chapter details the Dual Channel Encoder, its connections, and its weights and
dimensions.
Overview
The IndigoVision Dual Channel Encoder is a standalone encoder designed to be used with
the company’s complete end-to- end IP Video solution. It provides class- leading H.264
compression technology, and is ONVIF conformant, providing an open standards solution
while retaining the resilience of IndigoVision’s distributed architecture, with no bottle necks
and no single-point-of-failure.
The device encodes video, audio, and binary events allowing traditional analog CCTV
cameras (PALand NTSC) to be integrated into an IP network.
The Dual Channel Encoder is available in the following variants:
• Standard Temperature
Operating temperature: 0°C to +45°C (32°F to 113°F)
• Extended Temperature
Operating temperature: -30°C to +55°C (-22°F to 131°F)
Includes heater and fan
When operating as a single channel encoder, the maximum operating temperature of the
Extended Temperature model is increased to 65°C.

Composite video input
The video connectors of the device are standard 75 Ohm terminated BNC connectors. The
input format is composite video on these connectors.
Use input 1 for the primary channel and input 2 for the secondary channel.
When using the S-Video input, Composite Video input 1 is not available.
S-Video input
For sources which support S-Video, IndigoVision recommends that you use the S-Video input
to achieve high quality video at lower bitrates.
S-Video is only available on the primary channel.
Table 1: S- Video connector pin numbering
1 Y GND
2 C GND
3 Y (LUMA)
4 C (CHROMA)
When using the S-Video input, Composite Video input 1 is not available.
Audio In
The Audio In is a mono input, 3.5mm jack (stereo type) and supports an input signal
amplitude of up to 1V p-p. The audio input gain of the device can be adjusted from the audio
web page to cater for lower input signal amplitudes.
The audio input for the primary channel (channel 1) is delivered on the tip, and the audio input
for the secondary channel (channel 2) is delivered on the ring. The ground (GND) connection
for both channels is on the sleeve.
Audio Out
The Audio Out is a 3.5mm jack and provides an output signal amplitude of up to 1V p-p. This
output is not capable of driving a speaker directly. It should be connected to a suitable

amplifier, powered speakers or headphones. The minimum load impedance rating of this
output is 16 Ohms.
The audio output for the primary channel (channel 1) is delivered on the tip, and the audio
output for the secondary channel (channel 2) is delivered on the ring. The ground (GND)
connection for both channels is on the sleeve.
Network
The network connector is an RJ45 connector. It is auto-sensing 10/100 Base-T Ethernet
• Maximum length: 100m
• CAT5 cables or higher
Console port
The Console port is a standard RS232 serial connection with a 9-pin DSub connector.
► For more information about configuring the device using this port, see "Using the serial
port connection" on page 20.
This port can also be used as a secondary data port.
► For more information, see "Using the serial port as an RS232 data port" on page 25

Binary input
The binary inputs allow you to connect external trigger sources to the device. The pins
provide pull-up inputs that are normally in the high state. To change the state, ground the input
pin as shown in Figure 3: on page 11.

Input voltages above 50Vpk at Vin will irrevocably damage the device.
Binary output
Binary output pins are controlled by your software applications. These pins are electronically
switched and are either open-circuit or closed.
When closed, the effective resistance between Rx 1 and Rx 2 is not greater than 4Ω.
