GETTING STARTED

Overview
IndigoVisions 1 Input transmitter/receiver 8000 and 9000 units
are a single source solution for transmitting, receiving, encoding
and decoding video, audio and binary events over IP networks.
They have the following key features:

As a transmitter, they digitize, encode and transmit video over

the network from a PAL or NTSC video source.

As a receiver, they receive the encoded video data from the

network, decompress the video signal and output either
NTSC or PAL composite video to an analog monitor.

They can be located at a camera location or remote

monitoring site.

IndigoVisions modular software products such as Control Center

and the Network Video Recorder (NVR) can be added at any
stage during the systems lifetime.

Powering the Unit

The standard temperature IndigoVision 8000 and 9000 units are
Power Over Ethernet (PoE) powered devices compliant with the
IEEE802.3af standard.
There are two extended temperature options: Option A units
operate from 0C to +65C. Option B units operate from -30C to
+65C and require an additional power supply to power an
internal heater.

Standard Temperature Range Units

There are four methods of powering the standard units:

Power over Ethernet (PoE) switch

PoE injector

PoE midspan

Auxiliary power

24V AC

14V-35V DC

Power over Ethernet (PoE) Switch

To power up the unit using a PoE-compliant switch, attach a
CAT5 cable between the unit and a PoE switch.

PoE Injector or Midspan

If a PoE switch is not available, the unit can be powered using a
PoE injector, such as Phihong PSA1GU-480, or midspan.

Auxiliary Power
If power from a PoE Ethernet switch, PoE midspan or PoE
injector is not available, the unit can be powered using the
auxiliary power input. These are the two AUX pins of the 16-way
I/O connector on the rear of the unit.

Auxiliary power requirements are 24V AC or 14-35V DC

(7W max power). Figure 2 shows the signals on the I/O
connector.

Ra.1 Ra.2 AUX +5V

D3.A D3.K D4.A D4.K

Rb.1 Rb.2 AUX GND

Figure 2 Binary I/O connector

Use 18AWG (1mm2) figure of eight or twisted pair cable to
connect an auxiliary power supply to the camera.
The auxiliary power input to the camera is not polarity sensitive;
therefore a DC power supply can be connected in either polarity
to the auxiliary pins.
NOTICE

The auxiliary power must be connected to the AUX pins only. The +5V
and GND pins must not be used for auxiliary power as this will
irrevocably damage the unit.

A 24V DC, 500mA PSU with mains power lead can be ordered
from IndigoVision. The order codes are 110004-1 (UK), 110004-2
(US), 110004-3 (EU).
For information on auxiliary power for extended temperature
units, see Auxiliary Power Supply on page 11

10

Extended Temperature Units

The extended temperature Option B units require additional 24V
DC power input for heater power to ensure operation down to
-30C.
The IndigoVision 8000 extended temperature units have a 5V DC
input for unit power.
For more information, see Connector Specification Rear
View on page 30

CAUTION

The power supply units provided with the unit are extended temperature
rated, however, they are not weather proof. You may need to mount the
power supply unit in a suitably IP rated enclosure.

supply. See Powering the Unit on page 7

15

Step 2 Preparing PC for Initial Device Configuration

All devices are supplied with their IP address and subnet mask
set to 10.5.1.10 and 255.0.0.0 respectively.
You cannot connect the devices to your network until you have changed
the IP settings to suit your network.

To change the factory defaults of your transmitter or receiver, you

must first (temporarily) modify your PCs network settings.
Record the original value of all settings that are to be changed so that
you can re-enter them when you have completed the initial device
configuration.

To change your PCs IP settings:

Use the Windows XP Network Settings configuration application
to set the PCs IP address and subnet mask, as follows:
1

In Windows Explorer, right-click Network Neighborhood and

select Properties.

Right-click Local Area Network and select Properties.

Figure 7 LAN Properties

16

Right-click Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and select Properties.

Figure 8 IP Properties

Set the IP address to a unique address close to the factory IP

address, for example, 10.5.1.2 and change the PCs subnet
mask to 255.0.0.0 (the same as the factory default).

Click OK, then OK again.

17

Step 3 Configuring your Transmitters/Receiver

Once you have changed your PCs network settings, you can
change the IP values of your transmitter and receiver from the
factory defaults.
To configure a device using the Web Configuration pages:
1

Open Windows XPs Internet Explorer application. From the

File menu, select Open, and enter 10.5.1.10 (the factory
default IP address), then click OK.

The Web Configuration home page opens.

Figure 9 Web Configuration Home web page (9000 unit)

18

Click Network in the menu on the left of the page. The

Network web configuration page opens.

The fields are as follows:

Use DHCP Select this check box if you wish to assign the
following Network parameters via a DHCP Server:

Host Name

IP Address

Subnet Mask

Gateway

Network Time Server

If the unit does not receive any response from the DHCP server it
will default to using the network parameters supplied by the last
completed DHCP request.
IndigoVision recommends that if you are using DHCP, you should
configure the DHCP server to assign a given IP address based on the
units MAC address.

19

NOTICE

NOTICE

Control Center requires that the IP address for a unit in a site remains
fixed. If the DHCP Server has been configured to lease addresses from
an address pool, rather than based on MAC address, the device will not
work correctly with Control Center.

Host Name Enter a name for the transmitter or receiver to

identify the device.

Location Enter a location to identify the device.

IP Address Enter the IP address of the unit.

Subnet Mask Enter the IP network subnet mask.

Ensure that you enter the correct values. Once you change from the
defaults, the device is no longer configurable by the PC with its current
network settings.

Gateway Appropriate default gateway for remote network

access: this is only required if the devices are to be accessed
from a different subnet.

Broadcast Address Broadcast addresses are calculated

automatically using your IP address and subnet mask to
locate and access IndigoVision devices within a given range
of network IP addresses. This value is read-only.

NTP Server Address The IP address of a Network Time

Server, if used. If this is not automatically assigned using
DHCP, you can configure it manually on the Date/Time web
page.

Ethernet Interface Enter a link type. The options are as

follows:

10Mbps Half-Duplex

10Mbps Full-Duplex

100Mbps Half-Duplex

100Mbps Full-Duplex

Auto-negotiate

20

You may need to change the Ethernet link type default value
from Auto-negotiate for some network devices. If you have
problems maintaining a network link, contact your system
administrator to determine the appropriate setting.
When you have configured the device as required, click
Submit to apply the changes to the device.
4

To configure another device, disconnect the network cable

from the device. Leave the network cable connected to the
PC.

You may want to make a note of the devices new IP address and
subnet mask, or label the device with its new details.

Connect the network cable to the next device you want to

configure.
Before you can access the next unit for configuration, you
must type the following command from a Command Window:
C:> arp -d 10.5.1.10

NOTICE

Repeat these steps for each device, using different IP

addresses for each device.

Ensure that no two devices share the same IP address (or that of the
PC).

When you have configured all your devices, return the PC to

its original settings, or change them as appropriate for your
network.

You are now ready to take your device(s) off the isolated
network and connect them to the main network. See
Attaching the Devices to the Network on page 24.

21

Using the Serial Port Connection

To configure the unit using the serial port, you require an RS232
null modem serial cable.

Composite Video Input/Output

The video connectors of the unit are standard 75 Ohm terminated
BNC connectors. The input/output format is composite video on
these connectors.

S-Video Input
For sources which support S-video, IndigoVision recommends
that you use this S-Video input to achieve high quality video at
lower bitrates.

Mic In
The units support both dynamic and condenser microphone
inputs, which are configurable from the audio web page. The
microphone input is a mono input.
The Mic In connector is a 3.5mm jack (stereo type), left channel
encoded only, that is, the audio input is on the Tip, and GND is
on the Common.

When using a condenser microphone, the microphone

power is provided on the centre connection of the jack.
If you are using a microphone source, ensure that you select the correct
type in the web page.

Line Input
The Line Input is a stereo input, 3.5mm jack (stereo type) and
supports an input signal amplitude of up to 1V p-p. The audio
input gain of the unit can be adjusted from the audio web page to
cater for lower input signal amplitudes.
Line in is set to mono by default. To switch to stereo, log in to the unit
via telnet, enter the command stereo on, then reboot the unit.

Line Output
The Line Output is a 3.5mm jack (stereo type) and provides an
output signal amplitude of up to 1V p-p. This output is not
capable of driving a speaker directly. It should be connected to a
suitable amplifier, powered speakers or headphones. The
minimum load impedance rating of this output is 32 Ohms.

976880

Description:

9-way D-type femalefemale serial cable

Off-the-shelf null modem cables are not compatible with IndigoVision

devices when using RS422.

S-Video Connector Pinout

The pinout for the S-Video connector is as follows:

Y GND

C GND

Y (LUMA)

C (CHROMA)

Binary I/O Voltages Less Than 24 Volts

The binary inputs on the units allow you to connect external
trigger sources to the device. There are four binary inputs, and
two binary outputs.
For information on configuring alarms from binary inputs, please
see the IndigoVision Web Configuration Guide.
For supply voltages less than 24V DC, no external resistor is
required as the unit has an internal resistor fitted. The input
voltage (Vin) must be less than 1V DC, or open circuit, for a logic
low, and greater than 4V DC for a logic high.

Binary I/O Input Voltages Greater Than 24 Volts

For input voltages greater than 24V DC, an external resistor is
required in series with the input pin. The value of this resistor can
be calculated as:
R = [ 100 * (VON - 1) - 1500 ] ohms rounded down to the nearest
preferred resistor value, where VON is the desired voltage for a
logic high.
eg. for VON = 48V DC
R = [ 100 *( 48 - 1 ) - 1500 ]

4700 - 1500 = 3200

3K

Input voltages above 50Vpk at Vin will irrevocably damage the unit.
