Overview Front View Video Inputs Audio Inputs/ Outputs Video Input Status LEDs Feature Description Video Inputs Four BNC inputs for connecting analog video devices. Video Input Status LEDs Provides information about the status of the analog video signal. The LED turns on when a video signal has been detected. Audio Inputs/ Outputs Four audio I/O mini-jack (3.5 mm) connections.
Rear View I/O Terminals Connection Status LED Ethernet Port Power Connector Block Feature Description Connection Status LED Provides information about device operation. See the section about LED indicators for more information. Ethernet Port Accepts an Ethernet connection to a network. Server communication and image data transmission occurs over this connection. Also receives power when it is connected to a network that provides Power over Ethernet.
Installation Required Tools and Materials • Small slotted screwdriver with 5/64” or 2 mm blade width — for connecting power when not using Power over Ethernet. Package Contents Ensure the package contains the following: • • Clearpix H.264 Video Encoder Terminal Block Installation Steps Complete the following procedures to install the encoder. 1. 2. 3. 4.
The encoder can be attached to the bracket by lining up the four holes on the bottom of the encoder with the hole pattern on the bracket and screwing them together with the screws provided with the bracket. Warning — • If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient. Ensure that the ambient temperature inside the rack does not exceed the maximum operating temperature of the encoder.
• Power over Ethernet (PoE) Class 3 — If PoE is available, the encoder is automatically detected when the network cable is connected. • External Power — Connect an external 12 VDC or 24 VAC power source to the power connector block. For more information, see Connecting Power. 5. Connect analog video cameras to the encoder. Use the coax/BNC connector video inputs on the front of the encoder.
• ARP/Ping method. For more information, see Setting the IP Address through the ARP/Ping Method. • Network Video Management software application (for example, Clearpix Video Management). NOTE: The default encoder username is admin and the default password is admin. Accessing the Live Video Stream Live video stream can be viewed using one of the following methods: • (Recommended) Clearpix Camera Installation Tool software application. • Encoder's web browser interface: http:///.
Cable Connections Connecting Power NOTE: Do not perform this procedure if Power over Ethernet (POE) is used. If PoE is not available, the encoder needs to be powered through the removable power connector block. Refer to the diagrams in this guide for the location of the power connector block. The device can be powered from 12 VDC or 24 VAC. The power consumption information is listed in the product specifications. To connect power to the power connector block, complete the following steps: 1. 2.
Connecting to External Devices External devices are connected to the encoder through the I/O terminal. The pinout for the I/O terminal is shown in the following table and diagram. Table:External I/O Terminals Pin Function Description 1 3.3 VDC @200 mA max 3.3 VDC output. May be used to power small relays in conjunction with the relay outputs. 2 Ground Ground. 3 Input 1 4 Input 2 To activate, connect the Input to the Ground pin. To deactivate, leave disconnected or apply between 3-15 V.
Connecting Microphones and Speakers The encoder can be connected to up to four external microphones and speakers through the audio connectors. The audio connectors support input and output for line-level audio signals. The connector is a minijack (3.5mm). The pinout is shown in the following diagram. Audio input and output use the left and right audio connections normally used on a stereo audio device. Audio IN Audio OUT GND Figure: TRS mini-jack audio connector.
LED Indicators Once the encoder is connected to the network, the connection status LEDs will display the encoder’s progress in connecting to the Network Video Management software. The following table describes what the LEDs indicate: Table:LED Indicators Connection State No Link Connection Status LED Off Description Not physically connected to any network device.

Reset to Factory Default Settings If the encoder no longer functions as expected, you can choose to restore the encoder to its factory default settings. Use the firmware revert button to reset the encoder. Firmware Revert Button Figure: Firmware revert microswitch location on the rear of the encoder 1. Disconnect power from the encoder. 2. Using a straightened paperclip or similar tool, gently press and hold the firmware revert microswitch. While continuing to hold the microswitch, power the device.
Setting the IP Address Through the ARP/Ping Method Complete the following steps to configure the encoder to use a specific IP address: 1. 2. 3. Locate and copy down the MAC Address (MAC) listed on the Serial Number Tag for reference. Open Command Prompt. From the Windows Start menu, select Run... then enter cmd in the Run dialog box and click OK. In Command Prompt, enter the following commands: a. arp -s For example: arp -s 192.168.1.10 00-1885-12-45-78 b.
