  • Page 8: Enc-100 Overview

    21 ENC-100 encoder cards. A perfect fit, where there is little space, yet many encoding channels are required Teracue offers 2 models of the high density frame rack. The FR-1000 is supplied with a single power supply; the FR-2000 is fitted with a dual, redundant power supply.
  • Page 9 The ENC-100 supports output processing and streaming of both NTSC and PAL composite video signals and full stereo audio. Encoder bitrates can be set according to your needs from 800Kb/s - 15Mb/s. MPEG-2 Streams are encoded at ML@MP 4:2:0 and can be streamed by means of unicast or multicast traffic into your network.

  • Page 10: Unpacking The Encoder

    1.1 Unpacking the encoder When you unpack the ordered equipment please make sure all the equipment is complete. Normally the ENC-100 blades are pre-fit into the according chassis that the encoders have been ordered with. If ENC-100 blades are ordered and shipped separately, please be careful when handling the blades.

    1.3.1 Audio input/output The following picture displays the connector assignment for the mini jack audio input and output of the ENC-100. It follows the standardized mini jack pin assignment. The Line-In level for Audio-In is 1VRms on 10KOhm. The level cannot be decreased by using the Audio Codec (AC97 standard). Some manufacturers have 2VRms as input level and use an external attenuator.

  • Page 16: Audio Output

    1.3.4 Audio output The audio output acts like an audio decoder. It enables operating the ENC-100 with Full Duplex Audio. For example an encoder can be set up to encode video and audio from a camera that is installed at an entrance (security application). The person who wants to enter is able to speak into a microphone to state his/her name, etc.
