RJ-11 to Serial Interface Adaptor Pinout ................36 Introduction The model VCX-4402-E is the stand-alone Dual MPEG-4 version of the VCX family and is housed in a 19-inch 1U rack mount case with a display, control port and a universal AC power supply.
Familiarization with the VCX4402-E The VCX-4402-E Video Encoder accepts two BNC video input and two data sub- channels. The output from the encoder is a stream of IP-packets. The Full Width (19”) Encoder also contains a fluorescent LED display to allow monitoring of unit performance and to facilitate troubleshooting.
It then moves to the top line while the next parameter is displayed on the bottom line. The parameters displayed are as follows: Name of unit Software version VCX-4402-E Installation and Operating Instructions Page 5...
The VCX-4402-E Encoder is a 19-inch wide 1U unit and is furnished with mounting ears allowing installation in a 19” rack frame. The VCX-4402-E-H is a desktop like unit that is 8.5 inches wide and designed to be a shelf model without the need for mounting. However if you choose to mount the half size model, extended mounting ears are available.
