Product Description

Moxa VPort D361 Industrial Video Decoder Introduction

Overview

The VPort D361 is a 1-channel video decoder for decoding H.264/MJPEG video streams from VPort series video encoders and VPort IP cameras back to analog video signals. The analog video signal can be sent to legacy

CCTV devices, such as monitors, multiplexers, and matrix switches, which can be used as originally intended as part of CCTV systems. In addition, bi-directional audio enables ready-to-use voice-over-IP communications between the video encoder and decoder.

Monitoring your cameras as part of a large CCTV system is easy with the VPort D361, which can be set up to switch between different video sources manually or automatically within a given time interval. Up to 64 video sources can be included in the list. In addition, the two DIs located on the top panel of the VPort D361 can be used to create two control buttons for up and down video source selection.

Decodes the VPort’s MJPEG/H.264 video streams automatically

The VPort D361 can decode digital video streams that are generated from some VPort series video encoders and IP cameras back to analog video signals for use with legacy CCTV equipment, such as CCTV monitors, making the VPort D361 an important tool for protecting your investment in CCTV equipment.

2-way audio support for a complete surveillance solution

The VPort D361 supports both audio input and audio output for voice over IP communication between field sites and a central site. The 2-way audio function not only saves time, but also saves the cost of needing to add additional communication devices, such as a telephone.

Up to 64 video source channels supported for manual or auto-scan selection

The VPort D361 supports up to 64 video source channels in one unit, providing users with the convenience of conducting wide-scale video surveillance with just one monitor. Users can manually select the video sources from the web browser or 2 DIs (DI1 is up and DI2 is down). An auto-scan mode is also provided for changing the video source automatically in a given time interval.

Automatically switch to the video source upon alarm activation

The VPort D361 can be configured to switch the active video source automatically to the source of the alarm.

This function allows users to check the cause of the alarm immediately without missing any video. Once the alarm passes, you can manually switch the video source and resume normal operation.

Transparent PTZ control through the PTZ COM port

A “Transparent PTZ Control” is available to control cameras with a legacy PTZ control panel or keyboard, which means that many brands and models of PTZ camera can be controlled without the need to install PTZ drivers.

Just connect your legacy PTZ control panel or keyboard to the PTZ port of the VPort D361 to control the PTZ camera connected to the VPort video decoder directly.

Convenient OSD (on-screen display) setup for customized information

Since analog video systems are not very convenient for bundling or checking more detailed information, an

OSD (on-screen display) is an important tool that can be used to keep track of which video source is active. The

VPort D361 provides convenient OSD functions, including a video source index, video source IP, and customized information defined by the users. In addition, users can also set up the coordinates of the OSD information for good display.

Easy web access with standard browsers

There is no need to install new software to access the video decoder, since the embedded web server allows users to use any popular web browser to access the video decoder from anywhere over the Internet. As long as you are connected to the network, you will be able to set up the video encoder easily.

Flexible I/O control for switching the video source, or connecting the external I/O devices

Two opto-isolated sensor inputs (DI) and 2 relay outputs (Relay or DO) are provided to control external devices, giving system integrators the option of turning an analog system into an advanced security system. In addition,

1-2

Moxa VPort D361 Industrial Video Decoder Introduction

the 2 DIs also can be used for selecting the video source. DI1 can function as a UP selection (for example, from video source 1 to 2), and DI2 can function as a DOWN selection (for example, from video source 2 to 1).

Support for SNMP V1, V2c, and V3 for easy network management

More and more IP devices are networked for use on one TCP/IP network. To make management and maintenance easier, SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) can be used to monitor all of these IP devices.

CGI command support for 3rd -party developers

The VPort D361 also supports CGI commands for 3 rd

party developers who would like to integrate the control of a video decoder into their system. The CGI commands can be downloaded from Moxa’s website free of charge.

The Meaning of “User” and “Administrator”

In what follows, “user” refers to those who can access the Video Server, and “Administrator” refers to the person who knows the root password that allows changes to the Video Encoder’s configuration. The

Administrator also has general access. The Administrator should read this part of the manual carefully, especially during installation.

First-Time Installation and Configuration

Before installing the VPort D361, check to make sure that all items in the Package Checklist are present. In addition, you will need access to a notebook computer or PC equipped with an Ethernet port.

Step 1: Select the Power Source

The VPort D361 can be powered by a 12 to 32 VDC power input, or an 18 to 30 VAC power input. Users can check the LED status located on the front panel to see if the power input is connected appropriately.

NOTE

The VPort D361 supports 12 to 32 VDC for a 12/24 VDC power input, or 18 to 30 VAC for a 24 VAC power input.

This differs from the 12 to 45 VDC power input supported by Moxa’s EDS series of Ethernet switches.

Step 2: Connect the VPort D361 to a Network

The VPort D361 has an auto-sensing 10/100 Mbps RJ45 Ethernet port for network connectivity. The RJ45 port has LEDs for indicating 10 Mpbs or 100 Mpbs data transmission.

Step 3: Connect the VPort D361 to an audio source (if required)

The VPort D361 supports 1 AUDIO INPUT and 1 AUDIO OUTPUT. A microphone or an amplifier can be plugged directly into the AUDIO INPUT port; a speaker can be plugged into the AUDIO OUTPUT port.

Step 4: Connect the VPort D361 to a video output source

The VPort D361 supports 1 VIDIO OUTPUT for transmitting analog videos. Connect the video output source, such as CCTV monitor or switch, to the BNC connector to use the analog video signal.

Step 5: Connect the VPort D361 to a control panel or keyboard to control the motorized PTZ camera or device (if required)

If a motorized PTZ camera or device is used at the VPort encoder site, users can connect the PTZ control panel or keyboard to the VPort D361’s PTZ port to control the motorized PTZ camera or device directly once the connection between the VPort D361 and the VPort encoder is ready.

NOTE

Currently, VPort series video encoders support PTZ control protocol drivers for:

1. Pelco D

2. Pelco P

3. DynaColor DynaDome

4. Cohu

In addition, the camera driver list has an item named “Transparent PTZ Control.” This is used to transmit the

PTZ control signal over the TCP/IP network to the VPort D361 video decoder, so that the PTZ control panel or keyboard can directly control the PTZ camera or device. Using this method eliminates the need for a PTZ camera driver. In addition, you will be able to use any PTZ camera with your VPort series video encoders.

Step 6: Configure the VPort D361’s IP address

After powering on the VPort D361, wait a few seconds for the POST (Power On Self Test) to run. The POST process is complete once the STAT LED turns green. The IP address will be assigned when the 10 or 100 Mbps

NETWORK LED blinks. The value of the IP address that is assigned is based on the network environment.

Network Environment with DHCP Server

When a DHCP server is present, the IP address of the VPort D361 is assigned by the DHCP server. Use the DHCP server’s IP address table, or use the Moxa VPort and EtherDevice Configurator utility to determine the IP address that was assigned by the DHCP server.

NOTE

NOTE

After powering on the VPort D361, wait a few seconds for the POST (Power On Self Test) to run. The IP address will be assigned when the 10 or 100 Mbps NETWORK LED blinks.

Mounting the VPort D361

Mounting Dimensions (unit= mm)

Getting Started

DIN-Rail Mounting

The aluminum DIN-Rail attachment plate should already be attached to the rear panel of the VPort D361 when you take it out of the box. If you need to reattach the DIN-Rail attachment plate to the VPort D361, make sure the stiff metal spring is situated towards the top, as shown in the figures below.

STEP 1:

Insert the top of the DIN-Rail into the slot just below The DIN-Rail attachment unit will snap into place as the stiff metal spring.

STEP 2:

shown below.

To remove the VPort D361 from the DIN-Rail, simply reverse Steps 1 and 2 above.

2-10

Moxa VPort D361 Industrial Video Decoder Getting Started

Wall Mounting (Optional)

For some applications, you will find it convenient to mount the VPort D361 on the wall, as shown in the diagrams below.

STEP 1:

Remove the aluminum DIN-Rail attachment plate from the VPort 351, and then attach the wall mounting plates, as shown in the diagrams below.

STEP 2:

Mounting the VPort D361 on the wall requires 4 screws. Use the VPort D361, with wall mount plates attached, as a guide to mark the correct locations of the 4 screws. The heads of the screws should be less than 6.0 mm in diameter, and the shafts should be less than 3.5 mm in diameter, as shown in the figure at the right.

Do not screw the screws in all the way—leave a space of about 2 mm to allow room for sliding the wall mount panel between the wall and the screws.

NOTE

Test the screw head and shank size by inserting the screw into one of the keyhole shaped apertures of the wall mounting plates before it is screwed into the wall.

STEP 3:

Once the screws are fixed in the wall, insert the four screw heads through the large parts of the keyhole-shaped apertures, and then slide the VPort D361 downwards, as indicated in the figure.

Tighten the four screws for added stability.

Wiring Requirements

ATTENTION

Safety First!

Be sure to disconnect the power cord before installing and/or wiring your Moxa VPort D361.

Calculate the maximum possible current in each power wire and common wire. Observe all electrical codes dictating the maximum current allowable for each wire size.

If the current goes above the maximum ratings, the wiring could overheat, causing serious damage to your equipment.

You should also pay attention to the following:

• Use separate paths to route wiring for power and devices. If power wiring and device wiring paths must cross, make sure the wires are perpendicular at the intersection point.

2-11

Moxa VPort D361 Industrial Video Decoder Getting Started

NOTE: Do not run signal or communications wiring and power wiring in the same wire conduit. To avoid interference, wires with different signal characteristics should be routed separately.

• You can use the type of signal transmitted through a wire to determine which wires should be kept separate.

The rule of thumb is that wiring that shares similar electrical characteristics can be bundled together.

• Keep input wiring and output wiring separated.

• We strongly advised that you label the wires to all devices in the system when necessary.

Grounding the VPort D361

Grounding and wire routing help limit the effects of noise caused by electromagnetic interference (EMI). Run the ground connection from the ground screw to the grounding surface prior to connecting devices.

ATTENTION

This product is intended to be mounted to a well-grounded mounting surface such as a metal panel.

Wiring the Relay Output

The VPort D361 has two sets of relay output—relay 1 and relay 2—located on the 8-pin terminal block connector. Each relay output consists of the 3 contacts of the terminal block on the VPort D361’s top panel.

The Relay Output can be set up for:

System alarm: In this case, network disconnected.

Event alarm: Digital inputs.

ATTENTION

The current and power capacity of the relay output is a maximum of 24 VDC @ 1A. You should be careful not to exceed this power specification.

ATTENTION

Before connecting the VPort to the DC/AC power inputs, make sure the voltage from the DC power source is stable.

Wiring the Power Input

The VPort D361 has one power input located on the 8-pin terminal block connector. The top and the front views of the terminal block connectors are shown here.

2-12

Moxa VPort D361 Industrial Video Decoder Getting Started

STEP 1: Insert the negative/positive DC or AC wires into the V-/V+ terminals.

STEP 2: To keep the DC or AC wires from pulling loose, use a small flat-blade screwdriver to tighten the wire-clamp screws on the front of the terminal block connector.

STEP 3: Insert the plastic terminal block connector prongs into the terminal block receptor, which is located on VPort D361’s top panel.

ATTENTION

The power for this product is intended to be supplied by a Listed Power Unit, with output marked LPS, and rated to deliver 12 to 32 VDC at a maximum of 540 mA, or 18 to 30 VAC at a maximum of 360 mA.

Wiring the Digital Inputs

The VPort D361 has two sets of digital inputs—DI 1 and DI 2. Each DI consists of two contacts of the 6-pin terminal block connector on the VPort’s top panel. Top and front views of one of the terminal block connectors are shown here.

STEP 1: Insert the negative (ground)/positive DI wires into the ┴/I1 terminals.

STEP 2: To keep the DI wires from pulling loose, use a small flat-blade screwdriver to tighten the wire-clamp screws on the front of the terminal block connector.

STEP 3: Insert the plastic terminal block connector prongs into the terminal block receptor, which is located on the VPort D361’s top panel.

The VPort D361’s DI 1 and DI 2 can also be used for controlling the selection of the video source. The

Administrator can set up this function by checking the Enable DI Change checkbox under System

Configuration/Video Source/Video Source List. The DI 1 can then do backward video source selection

(e.g., from video source 2 to video source 1), and DI 2 can do forward video source selection (e.g., from video source 1 to video source 2).

Communication Connections

10/100BaseT(X) Ethernet Port Connection

The 10/100BaseT(X) port located on the VPort D361’s front panel is used to connect to Ethernet-enabled devices.

Below we show pinouts for both the MDI (NIC-type) port and MDI-X (HUB/Switch-type) port, and we also show cable wiring diagrams for straight-through and cross-over Ethernet cables.

SNMP

The VPort supports three SNMP protocols. The available protocols are SNMP V1, SNMP V2c, and SNMP V3. The

SNMP V1 and SNMP V2c protocols use a community string match for authentication, which means that SNMP servers access all objects with read-only or read/write permissions using the community string public/private

(default value). The SNMP V3 protocol, which requires you to select an authentication level of MD5 or SHA, is the most secure protocol. You can also enable data encryption to enhance data security. SNMP security modes and security levels supported by the VPort are shown in the following table. Select one of these options to communicate between the SNMP agent and manager.

How to Set Up

the Alarm Trigger Function

The VPort D361 supports an alarm trigger function that allows the video source to be switched to a video source, based on an alarm trigger condition. For this function to work, the video source must be set up to send alarm messages to the VPort D361 with the sendalarm.cgi command. Users can implement the sendalarm.cgi command with the HTTP Event function supported by the VPort series products, or customized software.

HTTP Event Function

The following example uses the VPort 461.

Step 1: Set up the HTTP Event Server.

Hostname

If the VPort D361 uses a domain name instead of an IP address, then type the domain name in the Hostname input box. If a domain name is not being used, then leave the Hostname field blank.

Server 1, 2, 3, 4

Input the sendalarm.cgi command, video source’s user name, and password.

The sendalarm.cgi command should have the form http://IP address or domain name/ moxa-cgi/sendalarm.cgi.

Moxa VPort D361 Industrial Video Decoder How to Set Up the Alarm Trigger Function

Step 2: Set up the alarm to Send message via HTTP Event Servers.

Enable the Alarm Condition

The VPort 461 supports video motion detection, digital input, and video loss alarm conditions.

Trigger Condition

Select the condition for triggering the alarm.

Trigger Action

Choose Send message via HTTP Event Servers for sending the alarm message to the VPort D361.

HTTP Action Settings

In this section, select Server 1, 2, 3, or 4 for the target HTTP Event Server, and then input the alarm message being sent. Two messages should be listed.

1. Cameraidx=xxxx or Idx=xxxx is for identifying the video source.

• Cameraidx is the camera channel number of the video source. Since the VPort 351 is a 1-channel video encoder, Cameraidx = 1.

• Idx is the channel index of this video source in the VPort D361’s video source list. For example, if this VPort

461 is indexed in number 5 of the VPort D361’s video source list, then Idx = 5.

2. Message=xxxx is for the description of this alarm. Users can customize some information to describe this alarm. For example, if the DI1 alarm is triggered in low status, the user can use Message=DI1Low to get the DI1Low information from the video source log.

Customized software

Users also can program customized software to send the alarm message to the VPort D361 for the alarm trigger function. Users will need to program the sendalarm.cgi command into the software.

Syntax:

http://<server>/moxa-cgi/sendalarm.cgi?address=xxxx&cameraidx=xxxx&message=xxxx

Example:

http://192.168.127.100/moxa-cgi/sendalarm.cgi address=192.168.127.100&cameraidx=1&message=DI1low
