System Connections
MCC101 operates as one of the two modes; as Encoder or Decoder. MCC101 units can be connected in
either 1-to-1 fashion where one encoder is connected one decoder or 1-to-many fashion where one encoder is
connected to many decoders.
Following chart shows data status of video, audio and serial data on each mode.
Therefore, the system modes are defined by the video communication and all system modes are capable of
bi-directional transmission of audio or serial data.
Topology
Typically, the encoder and a decoder are connected in 1-to-1 mode. To support specific situation,
1-to-multiple connection is also supported.
1:1 Connection (Unidirectional Transmission).
Remote Center
Encoder Decoder
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.

In this configuration, a site can be monitored by many remote center locations. Number of maximum
connections are limited by the network bandwidth.
Functionally, a VMS (Video Management System) software can replace the HW decoder.
Multicast Mode
In a network supporting multicast mode, the products can be configured to Multicast mode which enables to
use the network bandwidth efficiently regardless of the number of decoders. In 1:N connection, a large
number of decoders can receive audio and video data from an encoder by using a single streaming
transmission.
Relaying
IP-
In this arrangement, video and audio can be retransmitted from a 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.

Note!: some of the features are not available until the unit is connected to video signal.
Enable Preview
1. Select ON to enable to display video on the monitor that is connected to the composite video port.
2. Select the Output format accordingly in the end of the Video page.
Note! That when Enable Preview is ON, dual streaming is not available.
When the video is transmitted directly to the monitor through BNC cable, the video does not go thorough
network and encoding. Therefore, there is less delay and no an effect from network limitation.
Input Format
Choose video type to be used between composite NTSC or composite.
Input Deinterlace
Deinterlace function is activated If selected ON.
Resolution
Select video encoding resolution.
Framerate
Determine the maximum number of frames per second for the video stream.
1,2,3,4,5,6,8,10,15,20,25 and 30 frame rate can be selected. The actual frame rate of video can be
less than the maximum frame rate set due to the network bandwidth limitation
Preference
Select encoding mode to control video quality or bitrate: Quality (VBR) or Bit rate (CBR).
If ‘Bitrate’ selected, the video encoding will be effected by the ‘Bitrate’ value entered. Therefore,
“Bitrate” mode corresponds to CBR (Constant Bit rate) encoding.
If ‘Quality’ selected, the video encoding will be effected by the quality of image selected.
Therefore, “Quality” mode corresponds to VBR (Variable Bit Rate) encoding.
Quality
Select Video quality. 7 levels of quality are available.
Quality mode (VBR encoding) tries to encode every frame in a constant quality. Therefore, resulting
bitrate may vary a lot depending on the complexity or activity changes in the input video. It is preferred
when constant video quality is required and network bandwidth is enough for delivering the stream of
highly varying bitrate.
Page 27
MCC101 User manual
4. Remote Configuration • 23
Bit rate
Determine bitrate value between 32 ~ 10240kbps.
Bitrate mode (CBR encoding) allows you to set a fixed target bitrate that consumes a predictable
amount of bandwidth. In order to keep the bitrate limit, video quality is controlled dynamically according to
the complexity or activity changes in the input video.
I-Frame Interval
Determine I-frame Interval between 1 and 255.
H.264 Profile
Select H.264 Profile: High Profile or Baseline Profile
The standard defines various sets of capabilities, which are referred to as profiles, targeting specific
classes of applications.
- High Profile (HiP)
The primary profile for broadcast and disc storage applications, particularly for high-definition television
applications (for example, this is the profile adopted by the Blu-ray Disc storage format and the DVB
HDTV broadcast service).
- Baseline Profile (BP)
Primarily for low-cost applications that require additional data loss robustness, this profile is used in
some videoconferencing and mobile applications. This profile includes all features that are supported in
the Constrained Baseline Profile, plus three additional features that can be used for loss robustness
(or for other purposes such as low-delay multi-point video stream compositing).

One-way Streaming
This unit provides two kind of one-way (unidirectional) streaming based on UDP to clients: RTP and
MPEG-TS. Both are a kind of broadcasting where traffic from client to server 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. RTP menu is used when the RTP only streaming without
RTSP connection. RTP stream will be transmitted to the destination set. The SDP (Session Description
Protocol) file can be found in the server, and a client can retrieve it using http connection.
Related settings are as follows:
- Destination IP: Set the IP Address of the destination system which will receive RTP stream.
If the system is decoder, RTSP authentication information can be entered in the middle of RTSP URL
- Destination Port: Set the Port of the destination system which will receive RTP stream.

MPEG-TS is a standard format for transmission and storage of audio, video, and data, [7] 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.
As MPEG-TS itself supports only AAC as the audio algorithm, only video is streamed when audio
algorithm is set to G.711.
Related settings are as follows:
-
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.

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.

Multicast
Multicast IP
The Multicast menu is used for configuring the multicast IP address to which media stream is delivered
when a client such as a Decoder, VMS or NVR software is connected in multicast mode. The multicast IP
address selection range is between 224.0.0.0 and 239.255.255.255. The selection can be used only
when media protocol is set to Multicast.
DDNS
Recommended setting is none.
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.
Check IP Disable: If “Check IP Disable” is selected, it will skip to check its own IP. In Fixed IP mode, the
set IP will be registered on DDNS server. In DHCP mode, dynamically assigned IP will be registered on
DDNS server. Normally Check IP Disable should be unchecked in order to obtain public IP in the network.

Bitrate control
When there are more than one client connected to the camera, due to bandwidth difference among the clients
some of them do not have enough bandwidth to receive encoded stream completely. In this case, it is possible
to select the way to stream video to clients as following.
- Frame Drop Mode: Encoding is performed strictly according to video settings. When a client is
connected through a network with less bandwidth, it may not receive all the frames. That is, frames are
dropped on sending module if the network is bottlenecked.
- Suppression Mode: Encoding bitrate and frame rate are adjusted not to drop any frames when the
network bandwidths to some clients are limited. In this case, all clients can be affected by the averaged
bitrate and frame rate.
Address Information
Followed network information is displayed (Read only).
IP Address: The Camera own IP address. This information is useful when the camera’s IP mode
is set to DHCP.
Domain Name: In case the camera is registered at DDNS server, the registered domain name is
displayed.
MAC Address: Display the MAC address of the camera. In case the camera is registered at DDNS
server, the MAC address is used in DDNS registration.
Connecting: Client IP Addresses that are currently connected to system are listed. (1) Indicates.

This product has two sensor ports and two alarm ports.
When a decoder instead of a PC client is connected to encoder, one system becomes a Local system and
the other as a Remote system (in general a system which is being used by the user is called as Local
system). Then, actions for events can be configured for events from the remote system as well as for local
system. For example, it is possible to turn on an alarm device in local (center) decoder system when a
sensor device in remote end (site) encoder is triggered. Local section configures the actions for events
from local (self) system, and configuration activates local devices and Remote sections configure the
actions for events from remote (peer) system.
The following table lists the possible actions for events.
Action Description
Beep Triggers beep port.
Alarm out Triggers alarm (relay) port.
E-mail Sends E-mail to the specified address. AVI file can be attached.
FTP Upload AVI file to a specified FTP server.
Preset Move to the Preset position.
Local & Remote Event Configuration
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.
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 camera loses the connection.
Alarm and Beep activation duration
Set the duration of alarm or beep activation in case of an event. If it is set to continuous, it will be in
active state until the operator resets it manually.
