INTRODUCTION
This manual provides information on installation and operation of the DVN 100-NET video
codec. The DVN 100-NET is a standalone, non-PC based, fully embedded video codec
capable of encoding and decoding video and audio from an analog video/audio source in real
time. It is compatible with any analog camera and incorporates a fully integrated, stereo
audio channel and pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) control (RS 485). The DVN 100-NET can also be
combined with the powerful DVN 5000 Series platform for video/audio recording and
playback, alarm and auxiliary handling, and intelligent motion detection.
The DVN 100-NET uses MPEG4 compression technology implemented in the hardware to
provide up to 30 IPS (images per second) for the ultimate in crisp, clear, high resolution,
full-frame images. Image resolution consists of 720x576 pixels (PAL) or 720x480 pixels
(NTSC), and both image compression and image resolution can be adjusted.
PTZ controls, fully-integrated in DVN 100-NET, are exceptionally responsive with virtually
no latency, regardless of the available bandwidth. PTZ-capable cameras can be controlled
from any network-connected workstation. Easy, intuitive control of movement is available
with the PTZ graphic control panel.
The DVN 100-NET also includes an alarm input and auxiliary relay output. The alarm input
can be connected to an input device such as a motion detector or passive infrared detector
(PIR), and can be monitored using the VisionPocket and SiteManager client software
applications. When the input device triggers an alarm, VisionPocket and SiteManager can
detect it in real-time, notify the user, and respond accordingly (trigger an auxiliary relay
output, such as sounding an alarm or turning on a light).
NOTE
The faceplate of some DVN 100-NET units may display AUDIO ports labeling
that is different from the one described in this manual. However, regardless of
the labeling, functionality of those ports is as specified in this document.

Algorithm Hardware compression of video footage for the selected
camera – affects the relative image quality and bandwidth.
Video/audio compression codec reference:
 MPEG4 CBR (Constant Bit Rate) – Encoder uses a
constant amount of bandwidth, according to the
bandwidth setting.
 MPEG4 ABR (Adaptive/Available Bit Rate) – The
encoder will dynamically adjust bandwidth to maintain
video quality, but will only use the amount of bandwidth
necessary for current motion level. However, it will not
exceed the maximum bit rate specified. When the
maximum is reached, it will sacrifice quality to avoid
exceeding the maximum.
 MPEG4 VBR (Variable Bit Rate) – Same as ABR, but
with no limit. Will adjust to use all available bandwidth, if
necessary, to achieve quality and current motion levels.
The Quality, IPS and Resolution settings will change
according to the compression method you select. However,
you may change these settings, if desired. The default
settings are:
MPEG4 CBR and MPEG4 ABR
 Quality: 4096 kbps
 IPS: 30
 Resolution: Full D1
MPEG4 VBR
 Quality: Lowest
 IPS: 30
 Resolution: Full D1
MPEG4 Adaptive
 Quality: Lowest
 IPS: 30
 Resolution: QCIF
Quality The highest quality and therefore the highest amount of
required bandwidth occurs with MPEG4 VBR. The lowest
quality and therefore the lowest amount of required
bandwidth occurs with MPEG4 CBR.
IPS Number of images processed per second. The smoothness
of video footage is directly related to the number of images
per second. Images will be smoother at higher IPS rates.

DVN 100-NET Quad View Spot Monitor Feature

The DVN 100-NET Quad View feature enables any DVN 100-NET in decoder
mode to display a view of up to four MPEG4 cameras from a DVN 5000 or other
DVN 100-NET server (in encoder mode) on a single spot monitor.
A spot monitor configured for quad view mode displays four equal quadrants, with
each quadrant displaying a particular camera view. See Figure 3-2.
Figure 3-2: Quad View Architecture with DVN 100-NET Decoder
NOTES
 Video sources are not limited to cameras connected to a DVN 5000, as
shown in Figure 3-2. A DVN 100-NET in encoder mode can also be used as a
video source.
 The Quad View feature can also be configured using the SiteManager client
software. Refer to the VisionPocket and SiteManager Software User Manual
for more information.
 The Quad View feature does not support audio, on screen display text, and
camera cycling on a spot monitor. However, these features are supported in
single view mode.
3-22 24-10216-13 Rev. –

 When using the Quad View feature, we strongly recommend limiting each
camera to CIF resolution at 30 Frames Per Second (FPS) (or 4CIF resolution
at a maximum of 10 FPS). Increasing the resolution and/or FPS will overload
the DVN 100-NET CPU, which will delay the time it takes to display the video.
When viewing a single video stream, you may use 4CIF at a higher FPS.
 Camera video compressed with Wavelet or Enpacta codecs are not
supported in quad view mode – only video compressed with the MPEG4
codec can be viewed in this mode. If you add a video source that uses
Wavelet or Enpacta compression to a quad view quadrant, the spot monitor
will display only a black background.
 To configure the DVN 100-NET Quad View feature:

1. Access the Client Setup page. See “Client (Decoder Mode)” on page 3-17.
2. In the Decoders drop-down list, select 4 and click Apply.
3. Configure each AutoConnect Setup page for each camera that will be
displayed on the spot monitor connected to the DVN 100-NET decoder. See
“Autoconnection” on page 3-18.
4. Click Apply to save your changes on each AutoConnect Setup page you
configure.
The Autoconnection list (from top to bottom) determines the quadrants to
which the cameras will be assigned. On the spot monitor, quadrants are
numbered as follows:
1 2
3 4
For example, the camera assigned to the first Autoconnection configuration

item in the list will be assigned to quadrant 1, the camera assigned to the
second Autoconnection configuration item in the list will be assigned to
quadrant 2, and so on.
5. Click Save and apply to save your changes.
Date and Time

The Date and Time configuration settings allow you to:
 Manually set the current date and time of the DVN 100-NET
