Therefore, the system modes are defined by the video communication and all system modes are capable of bi-directional transmission of audio or serial data.
Topology
Generally, the encoder and the decoder are connected in a 1-to-1 mode. To support specific situations,
1-to-many connection is also supported.
1:1 Connection (Unidirection)
Site Remote Center
Encoder Decoder
The most commonly used configuration is the 1 to 1 connection. An encoder is installed at a site where video images can be transmitted and a decoder is installed at a center location to receive and view the video images on analog monitor. Audio and serial data are transferred in either direction.

PAL: 720 x 576, 720 x 288, 352 x 576, 352 x 288
Frame Rate
Select video frame rate (the maximum number of frames of video images to compress).
The frame rate transmitted can be affected by the network bandwidth limitations.
Preference
Preference in video compression and transmission: With ‘Bitrate’ selected, the video compression will be effected by the ‘Bitrate’ value entered. With ‘Quality’ selected, the video compression will be effected by the quality of image selected. Therefore, ‘Bitrate’ and ‘Quality’ corresponds to CBR (Constant Bitrate) and VBR (Variable Bitrate) respectively.
Quality
VBR (Variable Bit Rate) adjusts the bit rate according to the image complexity, using up bandwidth for increased activity in the image and less for lower activity in the monitored area.
Bitrate
CBR (Constant Bit Rate) allows you to set a fixed target bit rate that consumes a predictable amount of bandwidth. As the bit rate would usually need to be increased for increased image activity (in this case it is constrained) the frame rate and image quality are affected negatively.
I-Frame Interval
Setting numbers of P frames to each I frame between 0 and 255.
There will be no P-frame if 0 is set.

It is possible to change the IP address of a server which has an IP address of a different subnet.
Grouping of servers
When there are a large number of servers, it is convenient to manage servers in several groups.
Server groups can be created and deleted by using Add Group and Remove Group on the Group menu. The Modify Group menu is used to add servers to a group or to remove servers from a group.
3. Server Connection Management
Server connection
If the box is checked in the first column in the Servers (or Channels/Peripheral) tab, the ENVI VMS will try to connect to the server. If the server is running and the network to the server is normal, it will be connected immediately and State will be changed to Connected.
Check box to connect or disconnect server
If it fails to connect to the server due to server or network failure, State displays Trying connection.
As soon as the server or network is recovered, it will be connected automatically. ENVI VMS periodically retries the connection to servers when the check box is checked.
Server disconnection
If the check box is unchecked, the connection to the server is released and State displays
Disconnected.

5. Network and System Diagnostics
ENVI VMS provides various diagnostic features with which the reason for the following situations can be found.
- Connection between two systems or between the system and VMS (Video Management
System) is not established.
- Video, audio or serial data are not delivered as configured.
- Video and/or audio outputs don’t come on output port.
Ping test

VT-IPSD102H Manual
Ping test is useful for checking if one or more remote systems are reachable from a server. Up to 4 systems can be registered as the targets of a Ping test, which makes it possible to identify the hop
(segment of network) where network failure may happen. For example, local router, remote router and remote Encoder can be pinged from a Decoder simultaneously.
Network test
Network Test dialog is invoked by selecting Network Test on the Tools menu.
VT-IPSD102H
Network test can be used for measuring effective bandwidth and/or packet loss rates between a server and a PC running the ENVI VMS by generating test traffic of constant bitrate. This feature is useful for identifying the reason why video quality comes poorer than expected. TCP protocol can be selected for measuring effective bandwidth, while UDP protocol is appropriate for checking if the network is not reliable.
System test
Selecting System Test on the Tools menu invokes a dialog box on which system H/W status, video/audio output function and serial ports can be diagnosed.

Video Out Check / Display Color Bar
It displays color bar on video output port. This function works for Decoder or Duplex mode, and is useful for checking if video output port or external display device is normal.
Audio Out Check / Play Audio Clip
It plays audio clip and outputs to audio output port. This function is useful for checking if the audio output function of a server or external audio output devices such as amplifier and speaker are normal.
Serial Loopback Test
Using this function, it is possible to check if a serial port is alive. When this function is started after forming the loopback in a serial port (i.e. connecting pin 2 and 3 together in case of RS-232C port), numbers of bytes sent and received are displayed. The port is normal if number of sent bytes and number of received bytes are equal.
