PMC Modules
User’s Manual
2 Introduction
The PiXORD Media Converter (PMC) modules which include models that utilize new
built-in IP camera device or are capable of upgrading analog camera into IP camera, are ideal
devices for centralized surveillance and control. Furthermore, its installation cost is cut to
minimum due to reduced installation man-hour and cable/wiring requirements. Through splitter,
the PMC modules can be connected to the security network through existing coaxial cables or
telephone wirings. PMC modules are also capable of extending its surveillance capability to
about 2 kilometer from control center through a single Ethernet port (RJ-45) and an RJ-11or wire
terminal block port.

Application Environment
PMC modules are plug-n-play as they do not require software. For long range
connections, the modules offer up to 100/60 Mbps transition bandwidth for the distance of within
300 meters and 25/5 Mbps for 1.6 kilometers using existing telephone line at ultra-high
performance. Being a plug-n-play device, it provides minimum installation time as well as
minimum expense by allowing video streaming and data sharing with existing telephone
twisted-pair or coaxial cable without interference.
With its ultra-high performance, the PMC modules are capable of transmitting high
definition images; such as High Definition Television (HDTV). This makes the device most
suitable for hotel/motel rooms TV network application. PMC modules also support Ethernet
Bridge and switching functions and are compatible with optical fiber device.
In suppressing radio interference in tunnel or elevator, as well as in long distance
surveillance in farmlands or of bridges across bays, the PMC modules are capable of meeting
these challenges as long as telephone line or cable networks already exist in these locations.
Furthermore, the modules are also equipped with RS485 interfaces for Emergency/Security
Control application.
Lastly, PMC modules feature the Remote Power Feeding (RPF) capability that enables the
device to transmit and provide power over telephone lines. This is an ideal option for applying
surveillance network in remote areas where power source is not available.
