FEATURES
The MPEG2 Image Delivery System delivers image data as streaming data to a network such as a LAN. This system
consists of the encoder that converts an analog video signal (NTSC) to the digital data (MPEG2), and the decoder that
converts the digital data (MPEG2) to the analog video signal (NTSC).
• This system features the MPEG2 compression scheme. It is possible to send and receive motion pictures at
30 fps, up to 9 Mbps.
• This system can be connected with a network that supports TCP/IP and UDP/IP protocols.
• It is possible to send and receive image, audio and other packets through the Ethernet (MPEG2 encoder: 100BASETX, MPEG2 decoder: 100BASE-TX, 1000BASE-T).
• It is possible to control cameras and adjust the bit rate when an alarm is detected by an alarm device (a sensor)
connected to the ALARM IN connector on the rear panel of the MPEG2 encoder.
• Up to 4 cameras can be connected to the MPEG2 encoder. It is possible to operate cameras (such as panning,
tilting zooming and focusing) remotely.
• The MPEG2 encoder loops through an analog video signal connected to the VIDEO IN connectors to the VIDEO
OUT connectors. It is possible to record images by connecting recording devices such as a digital disk recorder
(optional cable WV-CA64 is required.).
• It is possible to display 4 camera images in a single screen (quad picture) by connecting a monitor to the QUAD
VIDEO OUT connector on the rear panel of the MPEG2 decoder. Pictures of up to 4 cameras connected to the
VIDEO OUT 1 - 4 connectors can be observed on a monitor.
• The RS-485 data port on the rear panel of the MPEG2 encoder is the data port for the serial data. It is possible to
send and receive the serial data between the MPEG2 encoder and a network using this port. The data part of the
received UDP/IP packet will be converted to the serial data, or the serial data received from the RS-485 connector
will be converted to the UDP/IP packet and will be sent to the network.

Required Settings for RS-485
Perform the following settings to receive and send serial data.
• Enter the desired size of the packet to be sent in the "WAITING DATA SIZE TO SEND PACKET (1 - 1024 byte)"
input box on the RS-485 DATA PORT page.
The packet will be sent when its size reaches the entered size.
• Enter the desired waiting time to send in the "WAITING TIMER TO SEND PACKET (10 - 1000 ms)" input box on the
RS-485 DATA PORT. The packet will be sent when the entered time has passed.
• Enter the desired port number to be used for receiving UDP packets from the network in the "RECEIVING PORT
No." input box on the RS-485 DATA PORT page.
When the receiving serial data size reaches the entered size in the "WAITING DATA SIZE TO SEND PACKET" input
box on the RS-485 DATA PORT page or when it has reached a waiting time for receiving data longer than the entered
time in the "WAITING TIMER TO SEND PACKET" input box on the RS-485 DATA PORT page, the encoder will attach
MAC, IP and UDP to the packet and send it to the network.
The received packet from the network will be converted to serial data by deleting MAC, IP and UDP, and then it will be
sent to an RS-485 device from the RS-485 data port of the encoder.

Installing in a container box (Only for the Encoder)
The encoder can be installed in a container box.
When required to install the encoder in a container box, install as below.
How to install
1. Place the supplied simple mounting brackets with the
supplied fixing screws on the bottom of the encoder.
2. Fix the encoder in the container box by fixing the attached
simple mounting brackets to the box with fixing screws.
(Procure fixing screws locally to fix the encoder in the
container box according to the material of the box.)
Warning when installing the encoder in a container box
To reduce the risk of fire or malfunction, observe the following instructions.
1. Ensure the following when installing the encoder in the box.
• Do not block the ventilation openings at the rear, on the bottom of the encoder with cables or clothes etc.
• Keep more than 10 cm distance between the rear panel of the encoder and the internal side surface of the box.
• Keep more than 1 cm between the bottom of the encoder and the internal bottom surface of the box.
2. Keep the temperature inside the box below +45 °C (113 °F) and the humidity less than 90% while the encoder is in
operation. Recommended temperature is less than 40 °C (104 °F).
If temperature and humidity are beyond the value above, it may affect parts inside of the encoder and cause
malfunction.
In case of installing the container box outdoor, consider influences on temperature and humidity from seasonal
change, sunlight and weather.
According to needs, fabricate sun shields, cooling devices, heating devices, drain holes, etc.
3. Do not install the box in places where discharging of corrosive liquids and gases occurs such as locations close to
seawater, hot springs, exhaust gas, etc.
This may cause corrosion of internal parts inside of the encoder.
4. In case of installing the box in place exposed to rain, use the waterproof box equivalent to the IP45 or better.
Waterproof also around the cable hole and the cables as sufficiently as possible.
5. Depending on the material of the box, it may cause noise as the result of the vibration of the cooling fan of the
encoder with the box.
6. Make enough space around the rear panel and fix the cables firmly but so as not to bend the cables or place too
much force on the connectors.
7. Do not install the box in places such as in a car which is subject to having strong vibrations
