Encoder Commands
These commands are associated with the encoder functions of the unit. There are two video input
ports that may be selected for encoding. The MPEG2 and JPEG functions which are separate hardware
and software are in fact separate channels with in the unit.
ENCODER [MPEG2|JPEG] or [1|2]
This command selects the encoding method to be used on the current video input channel.
MEPG2 or 1 and JPEG or 2 are valid options.
Example encoder 1
encoder mpeg2
The system prompt will reflect the encoder selected by the following display:
1>
(denotes the MPEG2 encoder is selected)
VIDEOIN <1|2>
This command selects the video input channel to be addressed by all the other commands. Valid
options are 1 or 2. Note this command is valid on models with dual video BNC connectors. Both
the MEG-2 and JPEG use the same selected video input.
Example videoin 1 (the currently selected encoder will receive the video stream
from channel 1 connector)
TOS <n>
Type of Service is how the datagram should be used. E.g. delay, precedence, reliability, minimum
cost, throughput, ect. The acceptable range is from 0-7F in hexadecimal. This command is in use
as of firmware ersion 1.3K.
Default: 0
Example: TOS 9
COM Port Setup
The VCX-2401 supports two sub-channels that allow the two-way transmission of serial data to
selected target devices. The sub-channel can be configured for either RS232 or RS422 operation. It is
not necessary for both ends to use the same configuration. The following is a list of the configuration
items for the sub-channel:
Channel Enable
Baud rate
Parity
IP address of target
TCP port for operation
RS422 or RS232
