MPH series video encoders introduction
Stand-alone video encoder with 1 or 2 video inputs, bi-direc-
tional data, audio & contact closure channels + Ethernet switch
General
MPH series encoders are ONVIF (Open Network Video Interface Forum)
compliant products. This provides wide interoperability with any ONVIF
compliant device or system.
Many similarities exist between the MPH series video encoders; the main
difference being the number of video channels available and the mechanics. MPH series video encoders are high performance video processing
products encoding real time video in mission critical applications for
customers in Transportation, City Center Monitoring, and Corporate
Security. MPH200 series encoders are temperature-hardened compact
size stand-alone video processing products in the MPX platform.
MPH200 series video encoders provides in addition to transparent link
of CVBS or HD-SDI video signal up to 1080p resolution (SMTP292M),
independently congurable general-purpose bi-directional asynchronous
data, bi-directional audio channels and bi-directional contact closure
channels. Additionally a layer 2 manageable Ethernet switch is integrated into the encoder. The Ethernet switch comes with four gigabit
ports and full-feature layer 2 switching functions such as RSTP, IGMP,
QoS and VLAN.
The encoded signal from MPH series encoder can be decoded with MPC/
MPX (except H.264) or VMX series HW and/or SW, as well as with industry
standard SW players such as Quicktime and VLC. The transmission is
accomplished over 10/100/1000BASE-T or 100BASE-FX (SFP) or
1000BASE-X (SFP) network utilizing IP/Ethernet streaming.
MPH series video encoders are equipped with the H.264, MPEG-4,
MJPEG and MPEG-2 video encoding engine. The default encoding
combination is H.264, MPEG-4 and MJPEG. MPEG-2 is an add-on
option, and it should be ordered separately.
The H.264 video encoding engine is compliant with the ISO/IEC 14496-10
(H.264@MP, BP, CBP) standard. The MPEG-4 video encoding engine is
compliant with the ISO/IEC14496-2 (MPEG-4@SP/ASP L5) simple prole
standard. The MJPEG video encoding engine is compliant with the ISO/
IEC 13818-2 (RFC 2435) standard. The MPEG-2 video encoding engine is
compliant with the ISO/IEC13818 (MPEG-2 MP@ML) standard.
Note! This product is under
development and Teleste
reserves the rights to alter
specications, features,
manufacturing release dates and
even the general availability of
the product at any time.

Connect all needed signals to their respective connectors on the
device’s front panel:
• HD-SDI / CVBS video signals to the BNC female connector(s).
• Data and contact closure signals to the screw terminal connector.
• Audio signal(s) to the screw terminal connector.
• Ethernet network to Ethernet connectors.
Switch on the power and wait until the power led “M” lits green (start-up
time approx. 100 secs). This indicates that the device hardware is
operating properly and ready for usage.
Note! If led doesn’t lit green, refer to “M- LED indicator” section to
know the status of the device.
Log on to the device using the IP address assigned by DHCP server,
or locally from a Mgmt port (CLI) and then set all necessary settings in
the device.

Note! Device uses always two IP-addresses, one for encoder and an
another for internal switch management. By default device will
automatically assign IP addresses via DHCP.
contain DHCP server, then the MPH encoder shall use Zeroconf
(link-local) as DHCP fallback (see section below).
If network doesn’t
CPS25x series power
supply for MPH200 device.
Device’s IP address
There are two ways of assigning IP address to the MPH device. The IP
address can be automatically assigned via DHCP, or you can set it
manually as a static IP address. Factory default IP settings for the
device is DHCP enabled.
By default when you have DHCP server in the network, DHCP server
assigns an IP address automatically to the MPH encoder. The DHCP server
offers an IP address from its address pool when a device is starting up.
If DHCP server is not available device uses zero conguration (link-local
address) as DHCP fallback. With Zeroconf protocol MPH chooses an IP
address randomly in the IP range from 169.254.0.1 to 169.254.255.254.
Alternatively you can manually assign the IP address, subnet mask and
gateway address to the unit.
If there is no DHCP address in the network, the unit chooses randomly
an IP address from the private IP range 169.254.0.1 - 169.254.255.254.
In this case in order to nd the chosen IP address you have two options.
You can use Teleste MPH Discovery Tool to browse all the available
ONVIF compliment devices in the network, note that your PC IP address
should be in the same IP range. Second option is, connecting to the
MPH device locally via the serial port and use the CLI (Command Line
Interface) to see device IP address.
See section Network command to see how to change IP address via CLI.

How to unplug or plug-in the SFP transceiver module
If your up-link port requirements change, simply unplug the existing SFP
module, and plug-in the new module. The SFP transceiver modules
must be installed before the encoder is powered on. Installing SFP:
1. Switch off the unit supply voltage.
2. Mount the SFP transceiver to the unit (see bottom instructions).
3. Connect the bre optic cable(s).
4. Ensure that the remote end of the bre is already connected to an
active switch.
5. Switch on the unit supply voltage.
The SFP transceiver module has a bale-clasp latch that makes easier to
install or remove the module. Protect the SFP module by inserting a
clean dustplug into the module after you remove the ber cable. Be sure
to clean the optic surfaces of the ber cable before you plug the cable
into another module. When using 2 bre version SFP, select carefully
the correct optical port for TX and RX operation.
To unplug and plug-in the SFP module, follow these steps

Some generic notes for successful optical connections:
• Ensure that the ber patch cord is damage-free (ber condition can
be easily checked by a visible laser tester)
• Do not exceed the minimum bending radius of the bre
• Avoid sharp corners on cable shelves and in cable management
in overall
• Make sure that correct optical connectors are used
• Open connectors are always secured by dustcaps during maintenance
• Always before mating clean all connectors (wet cleaning by high
purity alcohol & drying, or dry cleaning with reel-based lint-free wipes,
ber adapters may require special ferrule end-face cleaning tools)
• Before making any visual inspections ensure that system has been
shutdown or no optical power is present
• For fault nding at least a optical power meter is required, a complex
ber cable environment may require use of an OTDR equipment.

CLI – command line interface
MPH series video encoder include a command line interface (CLI) for
conguration purposes. The CLI is a text-based interface that allows the
user to interact with the operating system by entering commands and
optional arguments. CLI is accessible through any terminal emulator
application (e.g. Hyper Terminal or PuTTY). The command structure is
the same for all session types. A typical CLI usage is to access the
device IP address settings. By default the data channel 2 is set for CLI
usage. The data channel 2 can be set to normal RS232 data mode with
WebUI when needed.
Note! Data 2 channel can be set either general RS232 data
transport mode or CLI mode (not simultaneously). The default
factory setting is CLI mode (Hard and soft factory reset restores
the data channel 2 to the CLI mode).
Local CLI connection
The local CLI session can be establish via data channel 2 by using a
serial data connection (RS232) cable (type Teleste CIC506).
Note! Data 2 port must be set to CLI mode .

Event management system
MPH event management system
MPH encoders internally controls events as specied by ONVIF. Events
are generated from Digital IO inputs, motion detection, tampering
detection and video signal loss and each of those generate event with
different Topic. In addition to event topics, events contain data describing the event such as the video interface related, amount of motion and
threshold, etc.
The event data is available in the “Message Content lter” box, which is
XPath format for matching XML content. Triggering occurs when dened
“Topic expression” and “message content lter” matches the internal event.
MPH encoder can trigger actions for video, audio (only MPH200 series)
and contact closers (Digital I/O) output. These events are also avail-
able for video management system to trigger congurable alarms. You
can add multiple event at the same time and each one triggers action.

Video channel conguration
MPH is an ONVIF compliant encoder and video channel conguration is
designed according to ONVIF standard.
Note! Before modifying the conguration of a video prole, make
sure that video stream is stopped on the MAIN page (changing
only encoding parameters don’t require stopping of the stream).

Video input is the physical video connector (BCN female) available for
video signal. Naturally each video input can be connected to a camera or
any other standard video source. The default video input mode is set to
PAL/NTSC format (CVBS). MPH241 model has also support fot HD-SDI.
High-denition serial digital interface (HD-SDI)
MPH241 encoder supports HD-SDI digital video interface. HD-SDI inter-
face is dened by SMPTE 292M standard and allows bitrates up to 1.485
Gbit/s. Progressive input signals are recommended to provide the best
picture quality. The HD-SDI support can be enabled with MLH213 license.
When changing the video format from CVBS to HD-SDI, the device must
reboot. The loop-through port is not available in HD-SDI mode.
MPH242 contains two video inputs.

VBR (Variable Bit Rate) video aims at
constant quality, but as the bit rate
uctuates over time.
CBR (Constant Bit Rate) video
uctuates in quality, while its multiplexing behaviour is easy to predict.
Because in unconstrained VBR video
the bit rate uctuation might be too
large, capped VBR video is proposed
as an alternative. Capped VBR video
aims at a constant quality, but when in
certain intervals this requires a too
high bit rate, the bit rate is limited
(i.e.,capped) in order to support more
video ows on the links, at the
expense of a quality reduction.

RTP (Real-time Transport Protocol), SRTP (Secure Real-time Transport
Protocol) or TS (MPEG transport stream).
Video stream multiplication
Each video encoding prole can be assigned with ve (5) different destination addresses (primary stream and additional streams). These addresses
can be freely set to unicast, multicast or a combination of these. In addi-
tion there is a tick box that enables to lter out P-frames from each output
stream for low frame rate applications. This approach provides for a very
cost efcient dual streaming in situations where the low frame rate stream
is a direct subset of the higher frame rate stream. In practise this means
that the number of I-frames is the common nominator. As an example, one
MPH241 unit can stream (unicast or multicast) 2 x D1@25fps for monitoring and 4 x 2CIF@3fps (unicast or multicast) for recording simultaneously.
The precondition is, the number of I-frames per second in the primary
stream should match to frame rate of the low frame rate stream. In the
example above the I-frame interval of the primary stream would need to be
8 (GOP = IPPPPPPPIPPPPPPPIPP…) generating 3 I-frames per second
thus resulting in 3fps stream when P-frames are ltered out. The use of
multiple destination addresses up to a certain degree doesn’t load the
MPU; however one should take into account that the aggregate bit rate of
all output streams does not exceed the capacity of the 100Mbps interface.
