Product Introduction
1. 1.
1) What is DX-VS1UE?
Video server box DX-VS1UE offers the solution of the network type remote surveillance server
having many features, such as an internet server, a image compression device, and serial device control. You can operate Mitsubishi digital recorder DX-TL800E or several pan/tilt/zoom cameras
through DX-VS1UE remotely.
DX-VS1UE utilizes Wavelet image compression and Linux operating system. Wavelet and Linux
enable DX-VS1UE to transfer high quality images faster and with a greater degree of reliability.
2) Features
•
Ease of Use - DX-VS1UE requires Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 (or later) for use. Connect
DX-VS1UE to the Internet and it is ready for use.
•
Wave let Im age Format - Since DX-VS1UE has adopted the WAVELET compression system
which can compress a picture at the high rate of compression, without spoiling quality of image,
DX-VS1UE makes it possible to monitor image at maximum 30 frames per second.
(The number of frames of a monitoring image receives influence from state and bandwidth of network or the performance of client PC)
•
Maximum 720x486 Picture resolution - Monitoring image resolution can be chosen from
720x486, 720x243, 360x243, 180x121(x2) and 90x60(x4).
•
MultiClient - DX-VS1UE can be monitored from arbitrary PC linked to the network. The num-
ber of users which can monitor simultaneously is 100 users maximum.
•
External Device Connection - External devices such as IR-sensor, digital recorder or
pan/tilt/zoom camera can be connected to DX-VS1UE
•
Access restrictions using password - Password can be set at each levels(Simple Viewer Level,
DVR Configuration Level, DVR/PTZ Control Level, Server Configuration Level) and unauthor-
ized access can be rejected.
•
Simple Administration - DX-VS1UE can be configured and managed directly from its own
web page.

3) LEDs of Ethernet port Yellow LED: This LED indicates the status of data transmission.
After power is supplied, it is on for the fi rst 4-5 seconds and then
it goes off. And it blinks continuously when a user access DXVS1UE and DX-VS1UE transmits data.
Green LED: This LED indicates the status of networking. After
power is supplied, it is on for the first 1-2 seconds, and then it
blinks once at every one second as long as the network is connected.
Diagnostic information on failure using LED
Problem on Network
•
Green LED blinks once every 4 seconds.
Check that ethernet cable is connected properly and network has no problem.
Problem on Hardware
•
Neither Yellow LED nor Green LED light up at all.
Since DX-VS1UE is in unstable operation, restart DX-VS1 by supplying power again.
If DX-VS1UE would not restore regardless of restarting, stop using and contact with store.
4) Description of DIP Switches
This is used to designate video signal termination. If you want to monitor real time image through a
CCTV monitor as well as DX-VS1UE, connect a digital recorder to ‘Video Input’ connector and a
CCTV monitor to ‘Video Output’ connector. In this case, the terminal of video signal need setting
properly.
If you connect a digital recorder to ‘Video Input’ and monitor real time
video only through a PC, place the left-hand side DIP switch at upper position ‘ON’ (the side of ‘75ohm’).

・Connecting DX-VS1UE with PC
・・
You may use crossover cable (red colored one) to directly connect DX-VS1UE to a PC.
Crossover Cable
Connect DX-VS1UE directly
to PC through LAN ports.
*If you use the crossover cable (red colored one) enclosed and follow the method illustrated in the
above diagram, but you cannot access, try to connect through HUB using direct cable. Otherwise,
set 10Mbps to the communcation speed in terms of network interface configuration of your PC, if
it’s possible. In case you cannot access even though you tried the above mentioned method, something can be wrong with PC(including OS setting). Please contact with makers which pr ovide your
PC or OS.
Note in connecting cable to terminal block
When you connect cable to terminal block, you should peel off the cover of cable by 1.5cm and
insert the cable by 2cm into the terminal block.(communication., sensor input, alarm and etc).
The white line on cover of power cable indicates “+”.
