1.4 System Connections
Video Encoder operates as one mode; Encoder. Video Encoder Systems can be
connected in either 1-to-1 where one encoder is connected to one decoder or 1-to-multiple where one encoder connected to many decoders.
The following chart shows status of video, audio and serial data on each mode:
The system mode is defined by the video communication and this system mode is
capable of single directional transmission of audio and/or bi-directional serial data.
Topology
Generally, the Encoder and Decoder are connected in 1-to-1 mode. To support this
specific situation, 1-to-multiple connection is also supported.
1:1 Connection (Unidirectional Transmission)
The most commonly 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 monitors. Audio and Serial data are
transferred in either direction. An Encoder and Decoder can be connected by setting
the Encoder’s Address for the Decoder’s Remote IP.
User Manual VS-104-3GSDI – V1.0Page 8 of 67 3/2016

1. Introduction
1:N Connection (Uni-Directional Transmission)
In this configuration, a site can be monitored from many remote center locations.
Maximum connections would be limited by the network bandwidth.
Functionally, the VMS (Video Management System) software can replace the
decoder.
Multicast Mode
In the Network Supporting Multicast Mode, if Multicast is setup as a system protocol,
you can use bandwidth efficiently regardless of the number of decoders. In the 1:N
connection, a large number of decoders can receive audio and video data from an
encoder by using a single streaming transmission.
Relaying
In this arrangement, video and audio can be re-transmitted from one center to another
center. The arrangement is useful when the network bandwidth at the site is limited
while there is more than one center wanting to monitor the site.

- Framerate
Determine the maximum number of frames per second for the video stream.
1,2,3,4,5,6,8,10,15,20,25,30 and 60 frame rate can be selected. The actual frame
rate of the video can be less than the maximum frame rate set due to the network
bandwidth limitation.
- Preference
Select Encoding Mode to control the video quality or bitrate: Quality (VBR) or Bit Rate (CBR and Hybrid). If Bitrate is selected, the video encoding will be prompted
by the Bitrate value entered. Therefore, the Bitrate mode corresponds to CBR
(Constant Bit Rate) or Hybrid (Hybrid Constant Bit Rate) encoding. If Quality is
selected, the video encoding will be prompted by the quality of image selected.
Therefore, Quality mode corresponds to VBR (Variable Bit Rate) encoding.
- Quality
Select Quality Level: 7 Levels of Quality are available. Quality Mode (VBR Encoding) encodes every frame in a constant quality. Therefore, resulting bitrate
may vary a lot depending on the complexity or activity changes in the input video.
Quality Mode is preferred when constant video quality is required and the network
bandwidth is enough for delivering the stream of highly varying bitrate.
- Bitrate
- Bitrate value ranges between 32 and 16Mbps. Bitrate Mode (CBR Encoding)
allows you to set a fixed target bitrate that consumes a predictable amount of
bandwidth. In order to stay within the bitrate limit, video quality is controlled
dynamically according to the complexity or activity changes in the input video.
Bitrate Mode (Hybrid Encoding) allows you to set a maximum bitrate. Bitrate does
not exceed the set bitrate but it can be decreased automatically when the scene
complexity is decreased. This mode allows you to control the bandwidth efficiently.
- I-Frame Interval
I-Frame Interval ranges between 1 and 255.
- H.264 Profile
Select the H.264 Profile: High Profile or Baseline Profile
1. High Profile
High Profile is the primary profile for broadcast and disc storage applications;
particularly for high-definition television application.
2. Baseline Profile
Baseline Profile is for low-cost applications that require additional data loss
robustness used in some videoconferencing and mobile application. This
profile includes all the features that are supported in the constrained baseline
profile, plus three additional features that can be used for loss robustness.

Domain Name System (DNS) is a database system that translates a computer's fully qualified
domain name into an IP address. Networked computers use IP addresses to locate and connect to
each other, but IP addresses can be difficult for people to remember. For example, on the web, it's
much easier to remember the domain name www.amazon.com than it is to remember its
corresponding IP address (207.171.166.48). Each organization that maintains a computer network
will have at least one server handling DNS queries. That server, called a name server, will hold a
list of all the IP addresses within its network, plus a cache of IP addresses for recently accessed
computers outside the network.

One-Way
This IP Video Encoder provides two kinds of one-way (unidirectional) streaming
based on UTP to clients: RTSP and MPEG-TS. Both are types of broadcasting
where traffic from clients to an encoder is not generated at all.
RTP (Real-Time Transport Protocol) is an Internet Protocol used for transmitting
single real-time multimedia data such as audio and video to a select group of
connected clients. Normally RTSP uses RTP to format packets of multimedia
content. The RTP menu is used when the RTP only is streaming without an RTSP
connection. RTP stream will be transmitted to the destination set. The SDP
(Session Description Protocol) file can be found in the encoder and a client can
retrieve it using the http connection.
Destination IP: Set the IP Address of the destination system receiving the RTP
Stream. If the system is a decoder, RTSP authentication information can be found in the
middle of the RTSP URL: rtsp://admin:1234@192.168.10.100:554/video1
Destination Port: Set the port of the destination system receiving the TRP stream.
User Name: Enter the user name that will be used as a session name in the SDP file.
File Name: Enter the file name that will be used as the name of the SDP file. When this

MPEG-TS is the standard format for the transmission and storage of audio, video,
and data, and is used in broadcast systems such as DVB and ATSC. Transport Stream is specified in MPEG-2 Part 1 Systems (formally known as ISO/IEC
standard 13818-1 or ITU-T Rec. H.222.0). Transport Stream specifies a container
format encapsulating packetized elementary streams with error correction and
stream synchronization features for maintaining transmission integrity when the
signal is degraded. Although MPEG-TS supports AAC as the audio algorithm, only
video is streamed when audio algorithm is set to G.711.
Destination IP: Set the IP Address of the Destination System which will receive MPEG-
TS stream.
Destination Port: Set the Port of the Destination System which will receive MPEG-TS
stream.
SNMP
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is compatible with both SNMPv1 and
SNMPvec. Settings for using SNMP are as follows:

4.Remote Configuration
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is used by Network Management
Systems to communicate with network elements. SNMP lets TCP/IP-Based Network
Management clients use a TCP/IP-Based internetwork to exchange information about the
configuration and status of nodes. SNMP can also generate trap messages used to report
significant TCP/IP events asynchronously to interested clients. For Example: a router
could send a message if one of its redundant power supplies fails or a printer could send
an SNMP trap when it is out of paper.
SNMP Listen Port (0, 161, 1025 - 65535)
This port is for connecting an external device as an SNMP client. SNMP is not
used when the value is 0.

4.Remote Configuration
Dynamic DNS is a method, protocol, or network service that provides the capability for a networked
device, such as a router or computer system using the Internet Protocol Suite, to notify a domain
name server to change, in real time (ad-hoc) the active DNS configuration of its configured
hostnames, addresses or other information stored in DNS.
Vdyn
Vdyn is a DDNS service provided by Visionica (http://visionica.com). No further
configuration is required for using this service. It internally uses the MAC address for
the registration. When it succeeds, the domain name of the form
001C63A607EC.visionica.info is displayed on Current Domain entry of the Network
page. Email setting is not mandatory.
Check IP Disable
If “Check IP Disable” is selected, it will skip to check it’s own IP. In Fixed IP Mode,
the set IP will be registered on the DDNS Encoder. In DHCP Mode, a dynamically
assigned IP will be registered on the DDNS Encoder. Normally Check IP Disable
should be unchecked in order to obtain the public IP in the network.
IP Filtering
IP Filtering is simply a mechanism that decides which types of IP datagrams will be
processed normally and which will be discarded.

4.5 Event Configuration
Local
When a Decoder is connected to a Video Encoder, one system becomes a Local
System and the other a Remote System (generally a system which is being used by the
user is called as Local System). Event Actions can be configured from the Remote
System as well as the Local System. For Example: it is possible to turn on an alarm
device in the Local (center) Decoder System when a sensor device in Remote (site)
Video Encoder is triggered. The Local section configures the actions for the events from
the Local (self) System and the configuration activates the local devices and the
Remote sections configure the actions for events from Remote (peer) System.
The following table lists the possible actions for the events:
- Sensor1 / Sensor2
Configure the actions when the sensor is activated. Multiple actions can be set for a
single event.
- On Video Loss
Configure the actions when video input signal is lost. Multiple actions can be set for a
single event.

4. Remote Configuration
- On Motion
Configure the actions when motion is detected. Multiple actions can be set for a single
event.
- On Disconnect
Configure the actions when the link (connection) with peer system is disconnected.
Multiple actions can be set for a single event. This event happens when the last client
which has been receiving video from the video encoder loses the connection.
Motion Detection
- Select the Use Motion Detection function

Disk Information
When SD Memory is used, at least 1GB is recommended. An EXT3 or FAT32 File
System can be used. EXT3 or FAT32 can be read in Linux PC. However, only disks
with FAT32 file system can be read in Windows PC. Less than 4Mbps of video bit rate
is recommended when you record and monitor video simultaneously since frame
dropping may occur due to performance limitation.
Restart the system after connecting an SD card. The system reads the disk status and
initializes during reboot. Once the disk initialization is finished, the disk status is shown

A Time Zone is a region of the earth that has uniform standard time, usually referred to as
the Local Time. By convention, time zones compute their local time as an offset from UTC
(Coordinated Universal Time). In casual use, GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) can be
considered equivalent to UTC. Local time is UTC plus the current time zone offset for the
considered location
The Network Time Protocol (NTP) is a protocol for synchronizing the clocks of computer
systems over packet-switched, variable-latency data networks. It is designed particularly to
resist the effects of variable latency by using a jitter buffer.
