BOUT UIDE This Hardware Guide is written for users of the 10-Channel Rack. It details how to configure the cards installed in the 10-Channel Rack, and install the 10-Channel Rack into a cabinet. It also provides specification and LED details for the 10-Channel Rack and interface cards.
Switch Card Video cards Figure 1 Fully populated 10-Channel Rack The 10-Channel Rack allows up to ten analog cameras or analog monitors to be connected and accessed by other products in the IndigoVision range. These include Control Center and Networked Video Recorders (NVR).
The Ethernet link type of the Transmitter and/or Receiver cards must be configured to Full-Duplex. Failure to do this will result in poor quality video and audio. The 10-Channel Rack must be powered down before the Network Switch Card is inserted or removed. Caution...
Transmitter Cards are hot swappable - they can be inserted or removed while the 10-Channel Rack is powered. Receiver Card Overview These cards can receive, decode and render an MPEG-4 or H.264 video stream from a corresponding Transmitter card. The output analog signal is composite video (either PAL or NTSC dependent on the format of the stream being received) which can be output directly to a suitable analog monitor or VCR.
• A 19” cabinet and four screws to attach the 10-Channel Rackto the cabinet The power supply connector for the 10-Channel Rack is of the same type as that for the IndigoVision NVR, however the voltages are different. Warning Using the wrong power supply to power either the Rack or NVR may result in damage to the unit and or power supply.
4. Attaching a video source and connecting alarms and audio (if required). 5. Installing the 10-Channel Rack into a 19” cabinet (if required). Step 1: Inserting the Network Switch Card The network switch card is an integral part of the Rack.
All transmitter or receiver cards are supplied with their IP address and subnet mask set to 10.5.1.10 and 255.0.0.0 respectively. If you have been shipped a fully populated 10-Channel Rack, the transmitter or receiver cards are supplied with their IP addresses set to 10.5.1.10, 10.5.1.11, 10.5.1.12, 10.5.1.13 etc, for cards in...
Use the Windows Network Settings configuration application to set the PC’s IP address and subnet mask, as follows: 1. In Windows Explorer, right-click Network Neighborhood and select Properties. 2. Right-click Local Area Network and select Properties. 3. Right-click Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and select Properties. 4.

Network Time Server Address Notice IndigoVision recommends that if you are using DHCP, you should configure the DHCP server to assign a given IP address based on the unit’s MAC address. Also, 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.

When you have entered the configuration data, click Submit to apply the changes. Notice IndigoVision recommends that you make a note of the new IP address and subnet mask, or label the card with its new details. 5. To configure another card, repeat steps 2-5, using a different IP address for each card.

1 stop bit • Flow Control: None 4. Power up the 10-Channel Rack. Wait for 1 minute to allow the card to complete the boot sequence. 5. Connect to the unit and press Enter. You should see a login prompt.
You are now ready to attach the 10-Channel Rack. Step 4: Attaching a Video Source and Connecting Alarms and Audio Transmitter Cards 1. Connect a video source to the Video In BNC connector on the back plane (Figure 4 on page 18).

3. Connect the power supply to the backplane (see Figure 4 on page 18). Notice The 10-Channel Rack does not have a power switch. When power is connected, the system is on. To turn the unit off, disconnect the power. You have now completed configuration of the 10-Channel Rack.

Power Supply Redundancy The 10-Channel Rack has two power supply connectors, which enable it to accept dual redundant power supplies. Power Connector LEDs...
Power Connector LEDs are lit. Generate a PSU Failure Event in Control Center If you are using IndigoVision’s Control Center application, you can specify that an alarm is generated if one of the power supplies to the 10 Channel Rack fails.

8. Click OK. 9. The Properties dialog for the new alarm source is displayed. 10. To activate the alarm source, check the Enable Alarms box and choose the time period during which the alarm source is armed. 11. Click OK. The alarm source is now activated. If one of the power supplies fails on the 10 Channel Rack, an alarm will be generated and sent to Control Center.

Notice For information on configuring alarms from binary inputs, please see the IndigoVision Web Configuration Guide. For supply voltages less than 24Vdc, no external resistor is required as the unit has an internal resistor fitted. The input voltage (Vin) must be less than 1Vdc, or open circuit, for a logic low, and greater than 4Vdc for a logic high.
In Figure 12 on page 33 , when the switch is pushed, the binary input changes from high to low. When the switch is released, the binary input changes from low to high. Example 2 — Normally Open Contact 4 - 24V DX.+ Internal resistor already fitted...
Input voltages above 50Vpk at Vin will irrevocably damage the unit. Caution Example 3 — Normally Closed Contact (48V input) External DX.+ resistor Internal resistor already fitted Normally closed contact DX.- Figure 14 Normally closed contact In Figure 14 on page 35 , when the switch is pushed, the binary input changes from high to low.
