1 Introduction

Overview

The IP SpeedDome Ultra 8 (hereafter referred to as IPSDU8) offers a high performance IP video

stream for one analog video source. The IPSDU8 is specifically designed for security video which

produces compressed video that is up to nine times more efficient than MPEG-4 and MJPEG

products.

The IPSDU8 is an ACC video encoder that converts analog video from our existing cameras and

domes into a network compatible IP signal used by Intellex IP and the VideoEdge™ NVR systems.

An Intellex IP System offers a highly reliable digital video management system with the flexibility,

scalability, and improved performance of IP. It is compatible with Network Client™ and all third

party applications developed using the Intellex API, so it is remotely accessible, network ready,

and easy to integrate with other equipment.

The VideoEdge™ NVR is a scalable and open IP based platform. It can support as many as 128

cameras per server, including IP cameras, IP domes, analog cameras with IP encoders as well as

the VideoEdge™ IP Encoder and megapixel cameras. The network appliance architecture and

embedded Linux operating system provide a secure, robust solution for high availability enterprise

applications.

The IPSDU8 is not available in Power over Ethernet (PoE).

Features

Connections

The IPSDU8 has the following physical connections:

• 4 event (alarm) inputs;

• 3 event (alarm) outputs for Indoor, and 1 (relay contact) for Outdoor;

• 3 wire 24VAC power supply; and

• 1 RJ-45 network connection — for connection to the 10/100 BaseT Ethernet network.

ACC Compression

Three quality levels (Super, Normal, and Extended Record) are available for the camera.

Two sensitivity levels (Normal and High) are available for the camera.

Video Loss Detection

In the event of video loss, an alarm is generated. The alarm is automatically cleared when the

video is restored.

Introduction

1-2 Configuration and User Guide

Frame Rates

Table 1-1 Frame rates

Note

The IPSDU8 supports a maximum of 30/25 (NTSC/PAL) images per second per video channel at

4 CIF. Actual frame rates may be less due to high motion.

Resolutions

Table 1-2 Resolution

Note 1

For use with Live Video feature only.

Bandwidth Throttling

The IPSDU8 supports bandwidth throttling and is set on a individual camera and client basis. The

maximum bandwidth is selectable between 30 kb/s and 4 Mb/s. The Bandwidth throttling is

configured on the Intellex IP or VideoEdge™ NVR.

Advanced Features

• PTZ camera control via the network cable.

• Event handling: four TTL (transistor-transistor logic) input alarms, three to the SDU8 and one to

the Encoder module; and up to three output alarms, depending on the housing.

Web Configuration

IPSDU8’s web configuration page allows you to configure settings and view live video. Refer to

page 3-1, Web Configuration for more information.

Recommended Configuration

The recommended configuration for the IPSDU8 is three IP Encoders (with 12 static cameras) and

four domes which pan simultaneously.
