When the video loss alarm is detected, the following
actions will be performed at the same time.
•Notification of an alarm occurrence to the
destination set on the ALARM page
•Camera is controlled by a preset number
•Changing of the bit rate
Note:Control by preset number and changing the bit
rate will not be performed for a camera connected
to the VIDEO IN connector from which the alarm
is detected.
OFF
The encoder does not detect any video loss alarm.
No alarm notification is sent.
The default setting is "ON" for all ports.
VIDEO INPUT CH
The numbers of the VIDEO IN connectors 
CAMERA PRESET No. (1 - 16)
When the encoder detects an alarm from a camera
with preset functions connected to the VIDEO IN
connector, the encoder performs the preset control
on the camera. In this case, the preset function
settings for the camera to be controlled should be
performed in advance.
This setting is invalid when a camera without the
preset functions is connected.
There is no default setting.
BIT RATE
When the encoder detects an alarm, the encoder
changes the bit rate of the streaming video data
temporarily. The bit rate of up to 3 streams can be
changed simultaneously when an alarm is detected.
The default setting is "6.14 Mbps (150 ms)" for all
channels.

of "WAITING DATA SIZE TO SEND PACKET" or
"WAITING TIMER TO SEND PACKET" is fulfilled.
•When "PREFERENCE SETUP" is selected for
"DESTINATION SETUP", packets will be set to only
one destination.
•The encoder cannot receive fragmented UDP
packets correctly.

Otherwise, the changed settings will not be saved.
■Item Descriptions
RS-485 DATA PORT SETUP
Perform the transmission settings of the encoder with
a device connected to the RS-485 data port of the
encoder.
These settings should be the same for both the
encoder and the device connected to the encoder.
BAUD RATE
Select a transmission speed for the RS-485 data port
from the following.
4 800 bps, 9 600 bps, 19 200 bps
The default setting is "9 600 bps".
DATA
Select "7 BIT" or "8 BIT".
The default setting is "8 BIT".
STOP BIT
Select "1 BIT" or "2 BIT".
The default setting is "1 BIT".
PARITY
Select from "NONE", "ODD" or "EVEN".
The default setting is "NONE".
WAITING DATA SIZE TO SEND PACKET (1 - 1024
byte)
Enter a desired data length of serial data the RS-485
data port can receive at one time. The entered size
will be the maximum size of the packet to be sent to
the network. When the received serial data is bigger
than the entered size, the received data will be
divided into two or more packets and then sent to the
network.
1 to 1024 are available for "WAITING DATA SIZE TO
SEND PACKET" (1 byte step).
The default setting is "200".
WAITING TIMER TO SEND PACKET (10 - 1000ms)
Enter a desired waiting time (time from when the RS-
485 data port receives serial data to when it sends a
packet to the network).
1 to 1 000 (ms) are available for "WAITING TIMER
TO SEND PACKET" (10 ms intervals).
The default setting is "100".

NETWORK PORT SETUP
DESTINATION SETUP
Perform the settings for the destination which
receives the packets.
Select "DESTINATION IP ADDRESS IN RECEIVING
PACKET" or "REFERENCE SETUP
(FOLLOWINGS)".
DESTINATION IP ADDRESS IN RECEIVING
PACKET
Serial data will be sent to the IP address contained in
the received packet. Therefore, the destination IP
address will not be decided until receiving the
packet, and it is impossible to send the received
serial data from the RS-485 data port to the network.
It is useful to select this when receiving packets from
several sources and you are required to respond to
them. When receiving packets from several sources,
the source IP address of the newest packet will be
the destination IP address.
REFERENCE SETUP (FOLLOWINGS)
When selecting this, enter an IP address and a port
number for "DESTINATION IP ADDRESS" and
"DESTINATION PORT No." respectively.
Serial data will be sent using the entered port
number for "DESTINATION PORT No." to the
entered IP address for "DESTINATION IP
ADDRESS".
DESTINATION IP ADDRESS
When "REFERENCE SETUP (FOLLOWINGS)" is
selected, enter the IP address of the device on the
network to which packets are to be sent. This setting
is valid only when "REFERENCE SETUP
(FOLLOWINGS)" is selected
The default setting is "0.0.0.0".
DESTINATION PORT No.
When "REFERENCE SETUP (FOLLOWINGS)" is
selected, enter the port number of the device on the
network to which packets are to be sent.
The default setting is "0".
RECEIVING PORT No.
When "REFERENCE SETUP (FOLLOWINGS)" is
selected, enter the port number which receives
packets from the network. The default setting is
"52000".
The default setting is "DESTINATION IP ADDRESS IN
RECEIVING PACKET".
