DECODERS
An Endura decoder converts MPEG-4 video and audio streams into video and audio output for viewing on a composite, S-video, or VGA monitor.
Depending on the model, an encoder can display one or more streams simultaneously at a variety of resolutions. Decoders support alarm inputs, relay output, and bidirectional audio and activity detection.
Figure 23. Decoder Configuration To configure a decoder:
1. On the Devices tab, click the decoder you want to configure. The settings for the selected decoder appear on the screen. If necessary, click the Identify button to identify the hardware for the decoder you have selected.
2. Enter a user-friendly name for the decoder.
3. Assign a location to the decoder (refer to Configuring Individual Devices on page 22).
4. Select the decoder’s display language from the drop-down list. English is the default language. Other languages will be available if the language pack has been installed.
5. Select the alarms to be triggered upon relay activation. Click the check boxes to select Alarm 1, Alarm 2, and/or Alarm 3.
6. Set up serial port (refer to Table C on page 35).
NOTE: In most applications, the decoder’s serial port settings are not used and do not require configuration. These settings are required only in certain applications and integrations; refer to the installation manual of the integration device for detailed instructions on configuring the serial port settings.
