GETTING STARTED
Overview
IndigoVision s 1 Input transmitter/receiver 8000 and 9000 units
are a single source solution for transmitting, receiving, encoding
and decoding video, audio and binary events over IP networks.
They have the following key features:

As a transmitter, they digitize, encode and transmit video over

the network from a PAL or NTSC video source.
As a receiver, they receive the encoded video data from the
network, decompress the video signal and output either
NTSC or PAL composite video to an analog monitor.
They can be located at a camera location or remote
monitoring site.
IndigoVision s modular software products such as Control Center
and the Network Video Recorder (NVR) can be added at any
stage during the system s lifetime.
Powering the Unit
The standard temperature IndigoVision 8000 and 9000 units are
Power Over Ethernet (PoE) powered devices compliant with the
IEEE802.3af standard.
There are two extended temperature options: Option A units
operate from 0°C to +65°C. Option B units operate from -30°C to
+65°C and require an additional power supply to power an
internal heater.
Standard Temperature Range Units
There are four methods of powering the standard units:
Power over Ethernet (PoE) switch
PoE injector
PoE midspan
Auxiliary power
24V AC
14V-35V DC
Power over Ethernet (PoE) Switch
To power up the unit using a PoE-compliant switch, attach a
CAT5 cable between the unit and a PoE switch.
PoE Injector or Midspan
If a PoE switch is not available, the unit can be powered using a
PoE injector, such as Phihong PSA1GU-480, or midspan.
Cat5 cable Cat5 cable
Network switch

Auxiliary Power
If power from a PoE Ethernet switch, PoE midspan or PoE
injector is not available, the unit can be powered using the
auxiliary power input. These are the two AUX pins of the 16-way
I/O connector on the rear of the unit.
Auxiliary power requirements are 24V AC or 14-35V DC
(7W max power). Figure 2 shows the signals on the I/O
connector.

D4.A D4.K Rb.1 Rb.2 AUX GND
Figure 2
Binary I/O connector
Use 18AWG (1mm2) figure of eight or twisted pair cable to
connect an auxiliary power supply to the camera.
The auxiliary power input to the camera is not polarity sensitive;
therefore a DC power supply can be connected in either polarity
to the auxiliary pins.
NOTICE
The auxiliary power must be connected to the AUX pins only. The +5V
and GND pins must not be used for auxiliary power as this will
irrevocably damage the unit.
A 24V DC, 500mA PSU with mains power lead can be ordered
from IndigoVision. The order codes are 110004-1 (UK), 110004-2
(US), 110004-3 (EU).
For information on auxiliary power for extended temperature
units, see Auxiliary Power Supply on page 11
Extended Temperature Units
The extended temperature Option B units require additional 24V
AC or DC power input for heater power to ensure operation down
to -30°C.
The IndigoVision 8000 extended temperature units have a 5V DC
input for unit power.
For more information, see Connector Specification Rear
View on page 30

The power supply units provided with the unit are extended temperature
rated, however, they are not weather proof. You may need to mount the
power supply unit in a suitably IP rated enclosure.
CAUTION

When using 8000 series extended temperature units or if a PoE option

is not available, you will need to power the unit using an external power
supply. See Powering the Unit on page 7
Step 2 Preparing PC for Initial Device Configuration
All devices are supplied with their IP address and subnet mask
set to 10.5.1.10 and 255.0.0.0 respectively.

You cannot connect the devices to your network until you have changed
the IP settings to suit your network.
To change the factory defaults of your transmitter or receiver, you
must first (temporarily) modify your PC s network settings.

Record the original value of all settings that are to be changed so that
you can re-enter them when you have completed the initial device
configuration.
To change your PC s IP settings:
Use the Windows XP 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.

Figure 7 LAN Properties

3 Right-click Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and select Properties.

Figure 8 IP Properties
4
Set the IP address to a unique address close to the factory IP
address, for example, 10.5.1.2 and change the PC s subnet
mask to 255.0.0.0 (the same as the factory default).
5
Click OK, then OK again.
Step 3 Configuring your Transmitters/Receiver
Once you have changed your PC s network settings, you can
change the IP values of your transmitter and receiver from the
factory defaults.
To configure a device using the Web Configuration pages:
1
Open Windows XP s Internet Explorer application. From the
File menu, select Open, and enter 10.5.1.10 (the factory
default IP address), then click OK.
2
The Web Configuration home page opens.

Figure 9 Web Configuration Home web page (9000 unit)

3 Click Network in the menu on the left of the page. The
Network web configuration page opens.

The fields are as follows:

Use DHCP Select this check box if you wish to assign the
following Network parameters via a DHCP Server:
Host Name
IP Address
Subnet Mask
Gateway
Network Time Server
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.

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.
NOTICE
Control Center requires that the IP address for a unit in a site remains
fixed. If the DHCP Server has been configured to lease addresses from
an address pool, rather than based on MAC address, the device will notwork corre
ctly with Control Center.

Host Name Enter a name for the transmitter or receiver to

identify the device.
Location Enter a location to identify the device.
IP Address Enter the IP address of the unit.
Subnet Mask Enter the IP network subnet mask.
NOTICE
Ensure that you enter the correct values. Once you change from the
defaults, the device is no longer configurable by the PC with its current
network settings.

Gateway Appropriate default gateway for remote network

access: this is only required if the devices are to be accessed
from a different subnet.
Broadcast Address Broadcast addresses are calculated
automatically using your IP address and subnet mask to
locate and access IndigoVision devices within a given range
of network IP addresses. This value is read-only.
NTP Server Address The IP address of a Network Time
Server, if used. If this is not automatically assigned using
DHCP, you can configure it manually on the Date/Time web
page.
Ethernet Interface Enter a link type. The options are as
follows:
10Mbps Half-Duplex
10Mbps Full-Duplex
100Mbps Half-Duplex
100Mbps Full-Duplex
Auto-negotiate
You may need to change the Ethernet link type default value
from Auto-negotiate for some network devices. If you have
problems maintaining a network link, contact your system
administrator to determine the appropriate setting.
When you have configured the device as required, click
Submit to apply the changes to the device.
4
To configure another device, disconnect the network cable
from the device. Leave the network cable connected to the
PC.

You may want to make a note of the device s new IP address and
subnet mask, or label the device with its new details.
5
Connect the network cable to the next device you want to
configure.
Before you can access the next unit for configuration, you
must type the following command from a Command Window:
C:> arp -d 10.5.1.10
6
Repeat these steps for each device, using different IP
addresses for each device.
NOTICE Ensure that no two devices share the same IP address (or that of the
PC).
7
When you have configured all your devices, return the PC to
its original settings, or change them as appropriate for your
network.
8
You are now ready to take your device(s) off the isolated
network and connect them to the main network. See
Attaching the Devices to the Network on page 24.
Using the Serial Port Connection
To configure the unit using the serial port, you require an RS232
null modem serial cable.

For sources which support S-video, IndigoVision recommends
that you use this S-Video input to achieve high quality video at
lower bitrates.
Mic In
The units support both dynamic and condenser microphone
inputs, which are configurable from the audio web page. The
microphone input is a mono input.
The Mic In connector is a 3.5mm jack (stereo type), left channel
encoded only, that is, the audio input is on the Tip, and GND is
on the Common.
When using a condenser microphone, the microphone
power is provided on the centre connection of the jack.

If you are using a microphone source, ensure that you select the correct
type in the web page.
Line Input
The Line Input is a stereo input, 3.5mm jack (stereo type) and
supports an input signal amplitude of up to 1V p-p. The audio
input gain of the unit can be adjusted from the audio web page to
cater for lower input signal amplitudes.

Line in is set to mono by default. To switch to stereo, log in to the unit

via telnet, enter the command stereo on , then reboot the unit.
Line Output
The Line Output is a 3.5mm jack (stereo type) and provides an
output signal amplitude of up to 1V p-p. This output is not
capable of driving a speaker directly. It should be connected to a
suitable amplifier, powered speakers or headphones. The
minimum load impedance rating of this output is 32 Ohms.

NOTICE Off-the-shelf null modem cables are not compatible with IndigoVision
devices when using RS422.
S-Video Connector Pinout
The pinout for the S-Video connector is as follows:

1 Y GND
2 C GND
3 Y (LUMA)
4 C (CHROMA)
Binary I/O Voltages Less Than 24 Volts
The binary inputs on the units allow you to connect external
trigger sources to the device. There are four binary inputs, and
two binary outputs.
For information on configuring alarms from binary inputs, please
see the IndigoVision Web Configuration Guide.
For supply voltages less than 24V DC, no external resistor is
required as the unit has an internal resistor fitted. The input
voltage (Vin) must be less than 1V DC, or open circuit, for a logic
low, and greater than 4V DC for a logic high.

binary input changes from high to low.
Binary I/O Input Voltages Greater Than 24 Volts
For input voltages greater than 24V DC, an external resistor is
required in series with the input pin. The value of this resistor can
be calculated as:
R = [ 100 * (VON - 1) - 1500 ] ohms rounded down to the nearest
preferred resistor value, where VON is the desired voltage for a
logic high.
eg. for VON = 48V DC
R = [ 100*( 48- 1 ) - 1500 ]
= 4700 - 1500 = 3200
~ 3K

CAUTION
Input voltages above 50Vpk at Vin will irrevocably damage the unit.

Binary port switching is controlled via your software applications.
These ports are electronically switched and are either
open-circuit or closed. Once closed, the effective resistance
between Rx.1 and Rx.2 is not greater than 2 O. A typical example
is shown in Figure 28.
