What is the Pelconet NET300 Transmission System? The PelcoNet™ NET300 transmission system is technology that lets you view video in real time across a LAN (local area network) and even WANs (wide area networks). This technology is based on the TCP/IP protocol suite and Ethernet technology, providing compatibility with today’s networking standards.
Instructions for the Network Administrator The PelcoNet NET300 transmission system allows live video transmission to be viewed over TCP/IP-based networks. This section is intended to help the network administrator know what is involved with installing this product and how it will affect the network. The person installing the product will need the following information about the network to make the network function properly.
MINIMUM PC REQUIREMENTS (AS NEEDED) • PC (Pentium® 4 microprocessor, 1.6 GHz) with Windows 98/2000/XP operating system • Network card • Internet Explorer 6.0 (or higher) or free serial interface and terminal program • Screen resolution of 1024 x 768 or higher, 16- or 32-bit pixel color resolution NOTE: Old video cards that do not support YUV encoding require 16-bit color resolution.
Overview NOTE: This manual refers to the PelcoNet NET300 transmission system unit when discussing features, functions, or specifications that apply to both transmitter and receiver models. “Receiver,” as used in this manual, refers to a PelcoNet NET300 transmission system receiver unless otherwise noted.
FRONT PANEL COMPONENTS The PelcoNet NET300 transmission system uses a compact design. For that reason connectors are placed on both the front and rear panels. Key: 1 = 2 3 4 5 6 = = = = = Terminals for alarm input and relay output • Two alarm input terminals (LN1/LN2) • Two relay terminals (R) (for one relay) • Two ground terminals (GND) • (The two unmarked terminals are not supported.
Typical Applications There are two ways to make a high performance multimedia transmission system for Ethernet networks: • One way is to use just the transmitter and connect it through the Ethernet network to a PC with a web browser at the receiving end. • Another way is to connect the transmitter through the Ethernet network to a receiver. This is often called a box-to-box connection because it uses two PelcoNet NET300 transmission system units.

Appendix B — Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) 1. What Pelco devices can I control from my computer with PelcoNet? PelcoNet can control the following from Internet Explorer: • • • • • Spectra and Esprit Genex multiplexer CM9700 matrix (older CM9760s require CM9760 data translator) CM6700 matrix (through integrated ASCII port) CM6800 matrix 2. Can I view PelcoNet over the Internet? Yes. You will need a static IP address and enough bandwidth to view live video.
PelcoNet uses the MPEG-4 industry standard for video teleconferencing over the Internet. It provides the most effective use of bandwidth with excellent video quality. 13. I do not get live video in the browser but server push is working. What could be wrong? Verify that the ActiveX plug-in is installed and that your video is set to 16-bit color. Also check with your network administrator to verify that the TCP/IP ports PelcoNet uses are not being filtered and that you have enough bandwidth. 14.
