Video Quality Caution
FRAME RATE NOTICE REGARDING USER-SELECTED OPTIONS
Pelco systems are capable of providing high quality video for both live viewing and playback. However, the systems can be used in lower quality
modes, which can degrade picture quality, to allow for a slower rate of data transfer and to reduce the amount of video data stored. The picture
quality can be degraded by either lowering the resolution, reducing the picture rate, or both. A picture degraded by having a reduced resolution
may result in an image that is less clear or even indiscernible. A picture degraded by reducing the picture rate has fewer frames per second,
which can result in images that appear to jump or move more quickly than normal during playback. Lower frame rates may result in a key event
not being recorded by the system.
Judgment as to the suitability of the products for users’ purposes is solely the users’ responsibility. Users shall determine the suitability of the
products for their own intended application, picture rate and picture quality. In the event users intend to use the video for evidentiary purposes
in a judicial proceeding or otherwise, users should consult with their attorney regarding any particular requirements for such use.

Description
The NET5308T-EXP multichannel dual stream video encoder is an enterprise-class, 8-input video encoding unit that is used exclusively with the
NET5300B base module. Designed to accommodate the stringent requirements of high-performance video monitoring applications, each
NET5308T-EXP converts eight channels of live analog video into dual MPEG-4 video streams at up to 4CIF resolution and 30 images per second
(ips) per stream.
The NET5308T-EXP captures up to eight audio inputs simultaneously. It provides this powerful video and audio encoding capability in an
extremely small footprint, thus optimizing the physical space required for video monitoring and recording operations. Once converted to MPEG-4,
the unit transmits these streams over a USB 2.0 interface through its NET5300B to an NVR5100 Series network video recorder or other Endura
video recorder. These streams can be decoded by the following Endura components:
•NET5301R video decoder: Converts up to 4 video streams for display or recording on an analog device.
•Endura workstation: Converts up to 16 video streams for display on a computer monitor.
•VCD5000 video console display: Converts up to 64 video streams (depending on model) for display or recording on an analog device.
•CM9700MDD-EVS matrix video decoder: Converts 1 video stream for display on matrix monitors.
•GW5000 Endura gateway: Delivers up to 4 simultaneous video streams from the Endura network to users communicating through a
public network with limited bandwidth, such as a Local Area Network (LAN), Wide Area Network (WAN), or the Internet.
The NET5308T-EXP can be configured for eight alarm inputs and four relay outputs. When an alarm event is triggered, the Endura system can
send a message to an operator, trigger a relay, and implement video recording.
The unit also supports activity detection. You can configure up to four activity zones per video input. When the NET5308T-EXP detects activity in
any of these areas, it can trigger an alarm event.
The NET5308T-EXP supports one audio input for each video input, and associates the audio with the primary video stream. The system operators
(security personnel) can hear activity at the associated camera site over the network.
The NET5308T-EXP with its NET5300B supports control of pan/tilt/zoom (PTZ) cameras. It supports Pelco D, Pelco P, and Coaxitron
With Coaxitron, the NET5300B receives commands from a Pelco controller and transmits those commands to the PTZ device through the
NET5308T-EXP. With Pelco D/Pelco P, the NET5300B transmits those commands directly to the PTZ device over a serial connection.
®
protocols.
®
With its modular design, you can connect up to two NET5308T-EXP units to each NET5300B for a maximum of 16 analog video inputs per
NET5300B.
Video can be monitored and played from the CM9700 Series (CM9760/9770/9780) matrix, an Endura workstation, or a VCD5000 video console
display.
6C2655M-A (10/08)

CONNECTING VIDEO INPUT
The NET5308T-EXP automatically detects the video standard (PAL or NTSC) when you connect a video input. It accepts both color and black-white
analog video. Use the Endura workstation to enable or disable video termination for each video input. Video termination is enabled by default.
NOTES:
•Enabling line lock on cameras may cause video distortion. There may be noise in the camera’s power source. If video from one or more
cameras is distorted, Pelco recommends disabling line lock on the camera as your first troubleshooting step.
•If a video distribution amplifier, such as a CM9760-MDA, is installed between the video source and the NET5308T-EXP, do not set the
output video level above 1 Vp-p.
To connect each video input:
1. Connect a coaxial cable to the camera or other analog video source.
2. Connect the coaxial cable to the video in connector on the rear panel.
NOTE: You may have to use a BNC installation tool to connect coaxial cables to the rear panel.
After connecting the coaxial cables to the NET5308T-EXP, use the SEQ video output to verify each video source (refer to Connecting Sequence Monitor on page 24).
CAMERA CONTROL: COAXITRON
Coaxitron is Pelco’s up-the-coax technology. It requires only a coaxial cable and no other wiring or equipment. When the NET5308T-EXP receives
a camera control command, it transmits that command up the coaxial cable to the PTZ device. Coaxitron is a single-direction protocol; the PTZ
device cannot return any data to the unit.
To enable Coaxitron operation, connect the PTZ device to the video input on the NET5308T-EXP. Since Coaxitron is disabled by default for each
camera, use the Endura workstation to enable it on the specific video inputs.
CAMERA CONTROL: PELCO D/PELCO P PROTOCOL
The NET5300B and NET5308T-EXP together support Pelco D (4-wire) and Pelco P (2-wire) protocols. These protocols use a serial interface to
transmit commands to the PTZ device over separate control wires. Refer to Connecting Serial PTZ Devices in the Endura NET5300B Multichannel
Video Encoder Base Module Installation manual (C2614M) for more information.
18C2655M-A (10/08)
CONNECTING LOOPING VIDEO
The NET5308T-EXP supports looping video. It passes the video input to a monitor or other analog video device.
To use looping video:
1. Connect a coaxial cable to the video out connector on the rear panel.
NOTE: You may have to use a BNC installation tool to connect coaxial cables to the rear panel.
2. Connect the other end of the coaxial cable to the analog device.
3. After installation, use the Endura workstation to disable video termination for the video channel.
4. If looping video to additional devices, disable video termination (Hi-Z) on each device. Enable termination (75 ohms) on the last device.
NOTES:
•If you do not terminate the video signal at the last device in the series, ghosting or other imperfections may appear in the video signal.
•During a power loss, the video termination settings may be lost. As a result, video imperfections may appear on devices that receive
looping video from the NET5308T-EXP. If this is not acceptable in your installation, use alternate looping methods.
CONNECTING AUDIO
The NET5308T-EXP supports eight audio inputs, each associated with the main video stream for its corresponding video input. The unit encodes
audio and video signals simultaneously. This lets you control audio at the monitored location.
The unit supports line level inputs. Microphones must be amplified for best results.

CONNECTING RELAY DEVICES
The NET5308T-EXP supports up to four relay devices. Use them to trigger external devices. The unit supports both momentary and continuous
relay operation, either normally open or normally closed.
You can operate the relay interactively, during an active connection, or automatically to coincide with certain events. Typical applications include
activating a door, gate, or lock, or switching on lights or other electrical devices.
WARNING: Do not exceed the maximum ratings: 30 VDC, 2 A; 125 VAC, 0.5 A.
When wiring the connector:
•Use 16 to 26 AWG (0.14 to 1.5 mm
electrostatic discharge (ESD).
•Strip the relay control wire to 0.3 inches (7.6 mm).
•Insert the wire far enough into the connector so that the metal is not exposed.
•When using a relay with a higher load, install an external, more powerful relay.
The unit includes two 6-pin relay control terminal blocks. These blocks have tension clamps. Use a small screwdriver to open the clamp for a
particular lead. Figure 16 shows how to wire the relay control terminal block and connect it to the NET5308T-EXP.
NOTE: The terminal block is keyed. It attaches only one way to the NET5308T-EXP.

CONNECTING ALARMS
The NET5308T-EXP offers eight alarm inputs for external signaling devices, such as door contacts or motion detectors. Each alarm input can be
either normally open or normally closed, either supervised or unsupervised.
Once configured, an alarm input can invoke many different activities, including triggering a relay device, sending an alert to a security office,
changing the video recording settings, and storing pre-alarm video to an NVR5100 Series network video recorder or other Endura video recorder.
You can connect switches or contacts directly to the unit without a separate power supply.

SUPERVISED ALARMS
When an alarm is configured as a supervised alarm, the NET5308T-EXP maintains a constant electrical current through the alarm circuit (5.0 VDC,
10 kohms), including a 10-kohm resistor. If the resistance changes, due to an electrical short or a bypass, the voltage fluctuates from its normal
state. Therefore, the unit triggers an alarm.
Figure 18 illustrates the alarm and no alarm conditions of a supervised alarm input. Whether the alarm is normally closed or normally open,
neither a cut nor a bypass can defeat these alarms.

UNSUPERVISED ALARMS
When an alarm is configured as an unsupervised alarm, the NET5308T-EXP triggers an alarm only when the normal alarm state (open or closed)
changes.
Figure 20 illustrates the alarm and no alarm conditions of an unsupervised alarm input. A normally closed alarm input can be defeated with a
bypass. A normally open input can be defeated with a cut.

ALARM CONNECTIONS
The unit includes two 8-pin alarm terminal blocks. These blocks have tension clamps. Use a small screwdriver to open the clamp for a particular
lead. Figure 22 shows how to wire the alarm terminal block and connect it to the NET5308T-EXP.
When wiring the connector:
•Use 20 to 28 AWG (0.08 to 0.5 mm2) wire that is rated for 250 V or higher. The insulation must be thick enough to protect against
electrostatic discharge (ESD).
•Strip the alarm wire to 0.31 inches (8 mm).
•Insert the wire far enough into the connector so that the metal is not exposed.
The terminal block is keyed. It attaches only one way to the NET5308T-EXP.

Figure 22. Alarm Terminal Block
Table D identifies the pin assignments for the terminal block. On the terminal block, pin 1 is on the left (refer to Figure 22).

These pins, labels, and leads also correspond to alarms 5–8 on the other alarm terminal block.
To prevent false alarms on unused alarm inputs, configure or connect (jumper) unused alarm inputs using one of the following options:
•Configure the alarm input as unsupervised and normally open on the Endura workstation. You do not have to connect the alarm input. This
is the default.
•Configure the alarm input as unsupervised and normally closed on the Endura workstation. Then connect the alarm input directly to its
ground. For example, connect pin 1 (Alarm 1) to pin 2 (Ground) if not using Alarm 1.
•Configure the alarm input as supervised and either normally open or normally closed. Then connect the alarm input directly to its ground
through a 10-kohm resistor. For example, if not using Alarm 1, connect pin 1 (Alarm 1) to a 10-kohm resistor; then connect the resistor to
pin 2 (Ground).
Figure 23 shows how to wire an alarm device to the Alarm 5 input (refer to Table D on page 23 for the specific connector pin assignments).
C2655M-A (10/08)23
CONNECTING POWER
The power supply incorporated into the NET5308T-EXP is tested and certified for high reliability applications. The unit has an autoranging power
supply that adapts automatically to voltages between 100 VAC and 240 VAC (50/60 Hz).
For greater reliability, you can also install an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) (not supplied). UPS devices maintain a limited amount of backup
battery power in case the main power fails. The UPS should have a minimum rating of 200 VA for one NET5300B and two NET5308T-EXP units.
To connect power:
1. Connect one of the supplied US, European, or UK standard power cords to rear of the unit.
2. Connect the cord to the appropriate power source.
Refer to Unit Startup on page 26 to power up the unit.
