Coretec VCX-7401, Installation And Operating Instructions Manual

Page: 3 / 38

Introduction
The model VCX-7401 is the stand-alone H.264/MPEG4 version of the VCX
family and is housed in a 8.5-inch 1U rack mount case with a control port and a
universal AC power supply.
The VCX Digital Video transport system consists of two video encoders, H.264
and MPEG4, and a decoder. This makes up the encoder(selectable)/decoder pair
providing the capability for one-way end-end transmission of the compressed
digital video stream in the H.264 format. The encoding-decoding process is
applied to an NTSC (or PAL) video input, selected in software.
Modification of video format and resolution, data sub-channel characteristics, and
basic IP parameters is achieved through one of the following means:
a) Terminal Program
b) Telnet through the Ethernet connection
c) Web Interface Applet
d) SNMP

NOTE: The VCX7401 is optimized for encoder or decode operation. While both
the encoders and decoder can be used simultaneously, it is not recommended as
perfomance issues may occur. The exception is using the decoder to view it's
own H.264 stream, as this has minimal affect on performance.
