Introduction The TruVision TVE H.264 IP video decoder converts compressed IP video streams to analog video output for display. Based on a powerful DSP and a stable embedded system design, the TVE-DEC10 decoder provides a high resolution decoding function for both live view and playback streams from Interlogix IP cameras, digital video recorders and network video recorders This user manual provides basic information on setting up and using the TVEDEC10 model.

Connections See Figure 2 on page 2 for information on connecting the power, camera, audio and network cables. Alarm connections The TVE decoder supports the open/close relay input as the alarm input mode.
Figure 4: Alarm output connections Note: Please note the different connections of JJ1 shown above. For a DC load, JJ1can be safely used both in NC and NO methods. It is recommended to use 12 V / 1 A. For an external AC input, JJ1 must be open. The motherboard has two jumpers, each corresponding to one alarm output. Both jumpers are factory set to be connected.
Network settings This chapter explains how to use TruVision Device Finder to find and configure the IP address and other parameters of the device. Note: The default user name of TVE is admin and the password is 1234. The default IP address is 192.168.1.70 TruVision Device Finder The TruVision Device Finder tool can be found on the CD shipped with that product. This tool automatically identifies TruVision devices that support “auto-discovery” anywhere on the network, even in different subnets.

Click Modify to change the IP address.
Using a web browser You can configure the decoder over the network with a web browser. The supported web browsers include: Internet Explorer 6/7/8/9 Firefox 3.5 and above Chrome 8 and above Safari 5.0.2 and above Windows XP SP1 and above (32-bit) Before you start Before accessing the browser, you need to configure the network settings of the decoder. Connect the decoder to the LAN, and connect a computer to the same LAN as the decoder.
To access the web browser: 1. Open the web browser and enter the IP address of TVE decoder (for example, http://192.168.1.70). Press the Enter key on the computer. The system displays the login window. 2. Enter the user name (default: admin) and password (default: 1234) to log into the system. The main page of the TVE decoder appears. 3. If you need to install the TruVision Device Finder plug-in, click the center of the screen to start downloading it.
Decoder operation Use these menus to define how the decoder operates. There are four main submenus in the decoder menu tree. See Figure 7 below. Figure 7: Menu tree of Decoding Operation Table 1: Function Description Decode mode Defines the parameters for: The channels to be decoded and their sequencing mode. The encoder to be accessed to playback recorded files as well as the name and playback time of the recorded file.
To set up dynamic decoding: 1. Click Decoding Operation > Decoding Mode > Dynamic Decoding. The Dynamic Decoding window appears. 2. Enter the channel parameters: Decoding channel: Select the decode channel Remote host IP address: Enter the IP address of the encoding device. Remote host port: Enter the port of the encoding device. Remote host channel: Enter the channel number of the encoding device to be decoded. User ID/password: Enter the user name and password used to log into the encoding device.
2. Select the channel to be decoded from the Decoding Channel drop-down list. 3. Enter a dwell time in the Dwell Time box. This is the time in seconds that the image is displayed before moving on to the next one. 4. Click Modify to define the channel parameters. In the window enter the channel parameters: Remote host IP address: Enter the IP address of the encoding device. Remote host port: Enter the port of the encoding device. Remote host port: Enter the port of the encoding device.
2. Select the channel for playback from the Decoding Channel drop-down list. 3. Under Device Properties, enter the channel parameters: Remote host IP address: Enter the IP address of the encoding device. Remote host port: Enter the port of the encoding device. Remote host port: Enter the port of the encoding device. Remote host channel: Enter the channel number of the encoding device to be decoded. User ID/password: Enter the user name and password used to log into the encoding device.
Display settings Use this window to configure the display channel, video format, output resolution and display mode. There are 3 display modes formats; full screen, 2-screen and 4-screen. The decoder auto detects the video mode (PAL/NTSC). To set up the display settings: 1. Click Decoding operation > Decode Mode > Display Settings. The Display Settings window appears. 2. Click a button to select the output display required: VGA, BNC, HDMI or DVI.
2. Select the desired decoding channel from the drop-down list. 3. In the Switch box, enable or disable the selected channel. 4. Click Save to save the settings. Image scaling Use this function to scale the video output image in display mode. This can avoid some parts of the video image being hidden by the monitor screen. “Stretching” is full screen mode; the image is stretched to fill the whole screen regardless of the selected resolution.
2. Select the desired decoding channel from the drop-down list. 3. In the Image Scaling box, browse the desired picture and click Upload. 4. Enter the X and Y co-ordinates to position the picture on screen. 5. Select how you want the picture displayed. Check Flashing or Transparent. 6. Click Save to save the settings. Connection status Use this menu to configure the channel used by the decoder for decoding and live view. The information is regularly updated automatically.
Connection status: Check the status of the decoding channel that is streaming video from an encoding device. Stream bit rate: View the bit rate of the stream being decoded. Get stream properties: The TruVision decoder can only support active mode. It actively tries to get video streams from an encoder or NVR. 3. Click Save to save the settings.
Transparent channel Use this menu to set up to transmit transparent data between the encoder and decoder. The decoder uses the RS-232 or RS-485 serial port to send transparent data over the network. Up to 64 encoders can be used to address a decoder. Note: If RS-232 is selected as the local serial port, you must set up the operation mode as transparent under Configuration > Serial Port Parameters > RS-232. To set up the transparent channel: 1.
