Display

  

 

The fluorescent LED display provides a scrolling list of key parameters when the unit is in its active (non-
stand-by) state. 
 
 

The display is a two-line display.  Each parameter is displayed, in turn, for three seconds on the 

bottom line. It then moves to the top line while the next parameter is displayed on the bottom line. 
 
 

The parameters displayed are as follows: 

 

 

Name of unit 

 

Software version 

 

Device IP address 

 

Sub-net mask 

 

Video IP (multi-cast group) 

 

Maximum Bit Rate (encoder only) 

 

Audio On or Off 

 

Com 1 On or Off 

 

Com 1 Bit Rate 

 

Com 1 IP 

 

Com 2 On or Off 

 

Com 2 Bit Rate 

 

Com 2 IP 

 

 

Mounting

 

the

 

Encoder

 

 

The VCX-2400-E Encoder and VCX-2400-D Decoder mount in an identical fashion.  The 1RU 

high units are furnished with mounting ears allowing installation in a 19” rack frame.   
 

All signal connections are from the rear, eliminating any need for setback from the front plane of 

the rack.  The user programming port on the front panel is used to alter system parameters via Hyper 
Terminal. 
 

A circulation fan is located on the side of the unit

.
