Overview
Designed for video monitoring and surveillance over IP networks, the Nextiva
S1900e series is a highly compact, single-input or -output edge device.
On the transmitters, the following compression modes (also called codecs—coder/decoder)
are available to deliver video over 10/100Base-T networks: a proprietary MPEG-4-based
mode, the MPEG-4 ISO 14496-2 compliant mode, and MJPEG (Motion JPEG). The device
can easily be extended over local and wide area networks (LANs and WANs) or the Internet
using ISDN, PSTN, or xDSL routers. It is built on open standards to provide long-term
investment protection.

1: Overview
Video Analytics
The on-board video analytics capabilities of the S1900e-AS can be used inside a Nextiva
IntelliView solution. In the IntelliView Analytics Rule Builder, the S1900e-AS supports a
maximum of five active rules and six views. For more information, refer to the
documentation set of the Nextiva enterprise video management platform.
The analytics license is not included with the device. For details, refer to your Verint
representative.
Receiver Modes
The S1970e-R can display video streams coming from up to four transmitters on a single
analog monitor, to create a maximum of four different point-to-point connections; you
create these connections in SConfigurator (see page 15). You can choose between the
following video display modes: solo, quad, and guard tour (for more information, see
page 39).
Security
Every edge device comes with a unique SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) certificate for securing
its IP link. SSL is a commonly used protocol for managing the security of IP message
transmission. If enabled, the SSL protocol secures the following data: I/O, serial port, and
VSIP (a proprietary protocol) communication. It does not apply to audio and video
transmission.
Frame Rate and Performance
The available video frame rates of each encoder of the transmitter are:
NTSC—1 to 7, 10, 15, or 30 frames per second (fps)
PAL—1 to 6, 8, 12, or 25 fps
The composite signal of a video input is sent to two separate encoders. You can customize
each encoder to meet your system needs, for instance in terms of frame rate and
resolution. Here are typical scenarios regarding encoder use:
Scenario Encoder 1 Encoder 2
point-to-point point-to-point unused
unused point-to-point
point-to-point and web interface web viewing at rate A point-to-point at rate B
web viewing and

2: Configuring and Installing the Device
Installing the Device
The installation process varies depending on the power source, 12V DC or
power-over-Ethernet (PoE). Then you may connect the device to serial equipment.
Connecting Power
All devices can use 12V DC for power supply . Verint offers a universal 12V DC power supply
as part of your package. For any other power supply, refer to the manufacturer
documentation for the proper wiring scheme.
You can also use PoE to power the S1970e transmitter and establish its Ethernet
connection. The PoE kit sold by Verint contains two items: an injector and a power cord.
The connection procedure may vary if you use another PoE kit; refer to the PoE kit
documentation for more information.
Warning: Never use PoE and 12V DC at the same time; otherwise you may damage the
device.
To power the device using the universal 12V DC power supply:
1. If the electrical plug installed on the power supply is the right one for the country of
operation, go to step 4.
2. Remove the installed plug by pushin g the PU SH button and keeping it pushed while
turning the plug in the counterclockwise direction.
3. Insert the required plug on the power supply then turn it in the clockwise direction until
you hear a click.

Note: The combined length of the two Ethernet cables cannot exceed 328 feet
(100 meters). For example, if you used an 82-foot (25m) cable in step 1, the
maximum length of the second cable is 246 feet (75m).
2: Configuring and Installing the Device
Installing the S1900e
Install the S1900e device and connect it to its peripherals.
Note: The S1900e-AS may heat more than a device without analytics capabilities.
To install the device:
1. For a 12V DC device:
a. Establish its Ethernet connection by plugging a cable (straight-through or
crossover) between the network (RJ-45) connector on the back of the device and
an Ethernet device.
The crossover cable directly connects the IP camera to a computer; use a
straight-through cable to connect the IP camera to a hub or a switch for integration
with the network
b. Power the device; for the procedure, see page 9.
2. For an S1970e device with PoE, connect the injector to the device to provide power and
Ethernet connectivity; for the procedure, see page 10.
Warning: Never use PoE and 12V DC at the same time; otherwise you may damage the

3. On a transmitter, plug the video cable of the camera to the video BNC connector of the
device.
4. On a receiver, plug the video cable of the monitor to the video BNC connector of the
device.
5. If required, connect the serial port of the S1900e to the target device (see next).
Performing Serial Connections
The S1900e device supports only the RS-422 and RS-485 asynchronous protocols. For any
other protocol, you may need a converter.
Most target devices (keyboards, PTZ cameras, monitors) use the RS-422/485 protocol for
communication.
To use the RS-422/485 functionality, you need to:
1. Connect a twisted pair cable to the multipin connector on the front of the device. The
connector gives access to the Tx+, Tx-, Rx+, Rx-, and ground signals.
2. Select the right operating mode (RS-422 4 wires, RS-485 2 wires, or RS-485 4 wires)
using SConfigurator or a video management software.

Setting Network Parameters
c
The first step in configuring an S1900e device is to provide a typical initial configuration of
its network parameters (including its IP address) to ensure compatibility with an existing
network.
Note: To work properly, devices on the same network must have un ique IP addresses. The
device will not prevent you from entering a duplicate address. However, its system
status LED will turn to flashing red (1-second interval); then the device will use its
default address. You then need to configure it with a proper IP address.
After providing the network settings, you complete the configuration with SConfigurator,
the web interface, or your video management software.
To set the network parameters of a device:
1. Ensure that the S1900e is powered and connected to the network.
2. Start SConfigurator by double-clicking SConfigurator.exe on your hard disk. The

The S1900e initial configuration is now complete. You perform further configuration with
the web interface (see page 21), SConfigurator, or your video management software.
Performing a Point-to-Point Connection
A point-to-point connection is the association of a transmitter and a receiver to view video
coming from an analog camera on an analog monitor. The Nextiva receivers are the
S1970e-R and S1504e-R. You can connect each of these receivers to up to four
transmitters, to create a maximum of four different point-to-point connections. Here is a
single connection:
You can also use a point-to-point connection to transfer audio, input/output, or serial port
data, if the transmitter and receiver have these features.
15 Verint Video Intelligence Solutions
Nextiva S1900e Series User Guide
Typically, both devices sit on the same IP subnet as SConfigurator and have the same VSIP
port; to access other devices, refer to the device discovery section in the Verint
SConfigurator User Guide.
To associate a transmitter and a receiver in a point-to-point connection:
1. Start SConfigurator.
2. In the Units tab, discover the desired devices. The discovered devices appear in the
Units box.
3. Select the Connections tab, then click Add. The Connection Creator window appears.
4. Select a transmitter in the left column and a receiver in the right one.
In the Transmitters column, you have access to the two encoders of each input; the
video stream is the same for both. Encoder1 is always reserved for viewing live video
with the web interface, therefore you should use Encoder2 for point-to-point
connections; however, you can use the same encoder for both functions if you want the
same resolution and frame rate.
5. In the Video list, select the desired transmission mode for video data. The available
values are:
RTP/UDP—A video mode using RTP (Real Time Transport Protocol, RFC 3550) over
UDP. It is the preferred mode for LAN environments; however, it does not guarantee
proper reception of packets. (default)
VSIP/UDP—A legacy mode, using the proprietary VSIP video protocol over UDP. The
preferred UDP mode is RTP/UDP.
RTP/TCP—A video mode using RTP (Real Time Transport Protocol, RFC 3550) over
TCP. It can be useful over WANs, Internet, or LANs needing more robust or secure
connections. This mode guarantees proper reception of packets, but could slow
down the effective frame rate to a level which is not acceptable.
VSIP/TCP—A legacy mode, using the proprietary VSIP video protocol over TCP. The
preferred TCP mode is RTP/TCP.
6. If you are not transferring I/O data (typically alarms) between the two selected
devices, clear Forward I/O.
7. If you are not transferring serial port data (like PTZ commands), clear Forward Serial
Port Data.

8. T o enable audio between the devices, ensure that Enable Audio is checked, then select
the audio mode. The available modes are:
Full Duplex—Audio data is transferred in both directions simultaneously.
PTT/PTL—Push-to-talk/push-to-listen is a half-duplex mode that allows you to
control audio communication by using a button to switch from voice reception to
transmission mode. Audio data will be transmitted only if the PTT or PTL buttons
are pressed.
Note: On a receiver, you can activate audio on a single connection only. The active
audio connection is the last that was performed.
The audio connection will remain the same even if the S1970e-R is in guard tour
mode, that is, the receiver will not switch between the audio streams of its four
connected transmitters. For more information, see page 39.
9. Click Connect.
10. In the SConfigurator confirmation window, click OK.
You should now have video on the analog monitor connected to the receiver. Audio, I/O,
and serial port data can also be transferred.

The input/output features on the multipin connector on the back of the device are used for
alarms (or events) and audio control. The device includes one input contact and one output
relay. Their dedicated purpose is:
Input contact —Either transparent alarm link with the output relay or PTT (push -to-talk)
audio transmission mode
Output relay—Relay for the input signal of the remote device
You can program PTT and an alarm on the first input at the same time. The relay of the
remote device will be closed and PTT will be activated.
Since the S1900e devices are mostly used with a video management software, you will
perform most configuration and activation steps within it. Otherwise, in a point-to-point
context, use SConfigurator for setup.

Alarms
The S1900e devices can generate and receive alarms. In a typical configuration, you plug
an event sensor to the input and ground I/O pins on a transmitter, and your alarm system
to the two output relay pins of a receiver. For example:
With SConfigurator, you activate the alarm process by checking the Forward I/O box in the
Connection Creator window.
Audio
The audio connectors are the 3.5 mm jacks on the back of the device; Appendix C on
page 71 presents the jack pinouts.
To activate audio between a transmitter and a receiver, both devices must support audio.
Data Transmission
Two transmission modes for audio data are available:
Full duplex—Data is transferred in both directions simultaneously.
PTT—The push-to-talk mode allows you to control audio communication between two
devices by pushing a button to transmit.
When creating a point-to-point connection between a receiver and a transmitter in
SConfigurator, you set the transmission mode in the Connection Creator window.
To activate the audio transmission channel for PTT on the S1900e device, you must trigger
an activation switch (for example, a button) that is based on the shorting of the ground and
input pins.

Updating the Firmware
You may need to update the S1900e to have access to new firmware or new features.
Updating the firmware of a device retains its configuration. Many tools are available to
perform the update: the SConfigurator utility, the web interface (see page 59), or a video
management software like Verint Nextiva; for the detailed procedure, refer to the
documentation of the software.
The latest firmware files are available on the Verint Video Intellige n ce Solutions extranet
(Quick Links > Firmware and Applications > Nextiva Intelligent Edge Devices).
Note: Firmware downgrade is not supported on any device. If you perform a downgrade,
any problem encountered will not be covered by your product warranty.
Performing a Reset
Depending on the gravity of the situation, you can reboot the device, load its default
configuration, or perform both these actions if the device does not react the way is should:
1. Start by rebooting the device. The device will retain all its configuration.
2. If it continues to perform abnormally, load its default configuration. All user-defined
values will be lost.
3. If the problem persists, perform a hard reset that will assign the default factory settings
to the device and reboot it.
To reboot the device:
1. Perform one of the following operations:
Press and hold the Reset button on the back of the device for one second.
In SConfigurator, go to the Units tab, select the device to reboot, click Configure,
select the Unit entry in the parameter tree, then click Reboot Unit.
In the web interface, click Maintenance in the navigation pane, then click Reboot.
The device reboots, while retaining its configuration.
To load the default configuration:
1. Perform one of the following operations:
In SConfigurator, go to the Units tab, select the device to reboot, click Configure,
select the Unit entry in the parameter tree, then click Load Default Settings.
In the web interface, click Maintenance in the navigation pane. To keep the
network configuration, check Keep Network Settings. Click Load.
This operation assigns the factory default settings to the device (listed in Appendix A on
page 67). Following such a reset, you may need to reprogram the device (for instance, its
IP address and VSIP port) for proper operation within its network.
Verint Video Intelligence Solutions 62

Nextiva S1900e Series User Guide
Configuring Quality of Service
Quality of Service (QoS) is a set of low-level networking protocols giving higher priority to
more important data flows while ensuring that the less important ones do not fail. QoS is an
essential technology for organizations rolling out a new generation of network applications
such as real-time voice communications and high-quality video delivery.
In the Nextiva edge devices, the two available QoS flavors are Type of Service (ToS) and
Differentiated Service Code Points (DSCP).
For QoS to be taken into account, the network infrastructure equipment (switches and
routers) must support one of these protocols. If any of these devices does not support QoS,
the QoS data will simply be processed as traditional non-QoS data. Furthermore, all Nextiva
edge devices on a network must support the same QoS protocol (or no protocols at all).
You can set a priority flag to three data types coming out of an edge device: video, audio,
and control. A QoS-enabled switch (or router) uses this flag to determine how the current
data compares to what is currently going through it.
The QoS values are in the Advanced > Quality of Service menu.

DHCP Support and
APIPA
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) allows devices and computers connected to a
network to automatically get a valid IP configuration from a dedicated server.
The APIPA (Automatic Private IP Addressing) scheme, available on the Windows operating
systems, enables a device to assign itself a temporary IP address.
Verint Video Intelligence Solutions 69
Nextiva S1900e Series User Guide
At startup, an edge device searches for a valid IP network configuration. The device
requires this configuration prior to starting its functions. The network configuration for
Nextiva devices consists of:
An IP address
A subnet mask
A gateway
The device first looks in its local memory. If no configuration is found, it tries to contact a
DHCP server. If DHCP configuration fails—if the device does not find a server or if it cannot
get a configuration from it within one minute—the device assigns itself temporary network
parameters based on the APIPA addressing scheme. This scheme allows a device to find a
unique IP address until it receives a complete network configuration, either manually or
from a DHCP server.
A device in APIPA mode does not reside on the same subnet as the other devices on the IP
network; therefore, it may not be able to see or be visible by the other devices. Devices use
the following temporary APIPA configuration:
IP address: 169.254.X.Y (where X and Y are based on the last two digits of the MAC
address of the device)
Subnet mask: 255.255.0.0
Gateway: 169.254. *. *
A device is in APIPA mode:
The first time it boots up
After receiving a duplicate IP address
After a hardware reset
When the DHCP server does not have any available IP addresses
After loading the default parameters
DHCP configuration is automatically disabled after a factory reset.
