Moxa VPort 364 Industrial Video Encoder
Introduction
2-8
10/100 Mbps Ethernet port or 100 Mbps fiber optic Ethernet port
The VPort 364 series of video encoders come in three models: the VPort 364 has 1 RJ45 10/100M Ethernet port
(LEDs on the left corners of the port indicate 10M or 100M), the VPort 364-S-SC has a single mode fiber optic
Ethernet port, and the VPort 364-M-SC has one multi mode fiber optic Ethernet port. Choose the model that is
most appropriate for your own application.
RS-232/RS-422/RS-485 PTZ port
The VPort 364 has 1 PTZ port for PTZ control. This PTZ port is an RS-232/RS-422/485 serial port with a 5 pin
terminal block connector. The pin assignments are as follows:

To enable PTZ control, users should configure the PTZ control protocol in the web console.
NOTE
The PTZ control protocol is not standardized. To use a particular PTZ control protocol, the video encoder must
support the driver for that protocol. Currently, the VPort 364 supports PTZ control protocol drivers for:
1. Pelco D
2. Pelco P
3. Dynacolor DynaDome
4. Cohu
In addition, there is a “Transparent PTZ Control” option in the camera driver list, which is used to transmit the
PTZ control signal through the TCP/IP network to the VPort D361 video decoder or PC (additional Real COM
driver required), and the PTZ control panel or keyboard can directly control the PTZ camera or device. There is
no need for a PTZ camera driver when using this setting.
To use a protocol that is not on the list, you will need to contact the manufacturer of the camera to get the PTZ
control commands, and then use the VPort 364’s custom camera function to program the PTZ control.
NOTE
The VPort 364 comes with a PTZ driver upload function for implementing new PTZ drivers. Please contact a
Moxa sales representative if you need assistance from Moxa’s R&D department to create a new PTZ driver.
Redundant 12/24 VDC and 24 VAC power inputs
The VPort 364 has two power inputs to provide redundancy. Each power input supports both 12/24 VDC and 24
VAC power for greater versatility.
NOTE
The supported power input specifications for the VPort 364 series are 12-32 VDC for a 12/24 VDC power input,
or 18-30 VAC for a 24 VAC power input. The maximum power consumption is around 7.5 watts.
