SAFETY

When installing your indoor HR16 encoder be sure to avoid:

o excessive heat, such as direct sunlight or heating appliances

o contaminants such as dust and smoke

o strong magnetic fields

o sources of powerful electromagnetic radiation such as radios or TV transmitters

o moisture and humidity

o areas with mechanical vibrations

o fluorescent lamps or objects that reflect light

o unstable light sources as this may cause flickering

o temperatures below -10° Celsius or 14° Fahrenheit and above 55° Celsius or 131°

Fahrenheit.

o For more details on installation and operation, please refer to the CD

provided.

INSTALLATION

HR16 encoder is built in a 1U chassis for convenient rackmount installation.

Follow safety precautions when selecting installation location for your HR16 encoder.

1. Using supplied screws to secure the provided rack brackets to the HR16 unit, then

install your HR16 encoder into the server rack.

2. Make sure the Power Switch is in the OFF position.

3. Connect your HD-TVI or regular analog inputs to the 16 BNC connectors on the

encoder.

Note, that i3 HD-TVI cameras will have two coaxial cables: 720x480 (D1 quality)

and 1MP/2MP (720P/1080P quality). Make sure you connect the coaxial cable that

transmit your desired video quality.

4. Connect your video inputs’ PTZ signal cables (where applicable) to RS-485 block

on the rear panel of the encoder. Using a pointed object, press and hold the orange

toggle portion of the

D+ and D- RS-485

terminals and insert

the correct PTZ

signal cables into the

slots below. Release

the orange toggle to

secure the cables

in place. Ensure a

secure and tight

cable connection.

5. Connect your Audio IN and OUT devices, if using to the corresponding RCA

connectors on the rear panel.

6. Plug in the network cable into the LAN connector on the rear panel of the encoder

and then plug it into the Gigabit switch.

7. Connect the provided 12V power supply to the 12V DC Power Supply connector and

then plug in the supplied Power Cable into the provided power supply.

8. Plug the power cable into the power source. Use of the UPS (Uninterrupted Power

Supply) is highly recommended by i3 for added reliability and longevity of your

encoder.

9. Return the Power Switch into the ON position. The encoder will power on and the

front panel LEDs turn on.

CONNECTING HR16 ENCODER TO i3 SRX-PRO SERVER

SRX-Pro Server is capable of supporting up to 2 (two) HR16 encoders.

Each encoder supports up to 16 analog or HD-TVI inputs, however, the number of inputs

that can be added to the SRX-Pro Server is determined by the number of purchased

licenses. When purchasing HR16 encoder, make sure to purchase enough “Analog

Channel” licenses to support all your HD-TVI and analog cameras.

When purchasing HR16 encoder(s) with the DVMS, connect your HR16 to the dedicated

NIC port(s) on your SRX-Pro Server through a provided CAT5 network cable.

When purchasing HR16 encoder(s) separately from the DVMS, connect your HR16 to an

i3-recommended Gigabit switch.

HR16, 16-Channel Video Encoder

QUICK INSTALLATION GUIDE

1. Close SRX-Pro Server software by pressing Alt+Shift+Ctrl+F4.

2. Change the IP address on the onboard NIC (LAN) (or on NIC1 if your

SRX-Pro Server has two onboard NIC cards) of your SRX-Pro Server to

192.0.0.XXX to match the default IP range of your HR16 encoder.

3. Make sure your HR16 encoder is connected to the same switch or is on

the same network as your i3 SRX-Pro Server (see diagrams).

4. Connect all your HD-TVI and analog inputs to HR16 encoder and turn on

your HR16 encoder

5. Launch the CD that came with your HR16 encoder and double-click

“setup.exe” file to install Annexxus Configuration Tool (ACT). ACT

application discovers all i3 cameras and encoders connected to your

network.

6. Follow the ACT installation instructions until the application has been

successfully installed on your SRX-Pro Server.

7. Double-click ACT icon on the Desktop to launch the application.

The application window will appear displaying a list of active network

cameras and encoders.

Next, select the desired HR16 encoder in the ACT software.

8. Enter the new IP address and Subnet Mask of the encoder in the Device

Communication area. The new encoder IP address must match the original

range of your SRX-Pro LAN or NIC1 card. E.g. If your original SRX-Pro

Server’s IP address was 192.168.1.122, change your HR16 encoder’s IP

address to 192.168.1.XXX.

Remember: HR16 encoders (if using more than one) cannot share an IP

address, each encoder requires its own unique IP address.

9. Make sure the Default account checkbox is checked and click Update.

10. Click Yes in the confirmation message window.

11. Wait a few minutes as the new IP address is being applied to your

HR16 encoder and the encoder restarts. Wait until the new IP address is

displayed next to your HR16 encoder in the ACT.

12. Repeat Steps 1-11 for all detected HR16 encoders in the Annexxus

Configuration Tool.

13. Make sure you can connect to the encoder through Internet Explorer:

a. Select the encoder in the list and click the corresponding IE icon.

b. Enter the default encoder User Name: i3admin and default Password:

i3admin.

c. Allow the add-on to be installed onto your computer. Follow

installation instructions.

d. HR16 encoder interface will be displayed in the Internet Explorer

window. You should be able to see the images of all connected

video inputs on the screen. If you do not see the video inputs on the

screen, call i3 International tech support for troubleshooting tips:

1.877.877.7241

14. Make sure that the latest version of GiPi updater is installed on your

SRX-Pro Server. The latest GiPi version is published on i3’s website:

http://i3international.com/index.php/software-downloads

15. Once the latest GiPi updater has been installed, restart i3 SRX-Pro Server.

16. Log In and go to the Setup -> IP Camera tab.

17. Click the Search button to display connected encoders and IP cameras.

18. Select the detected HR16 encoder in the list and click Select.

19. In the

Select IP Camera

window, enter the default HR16 encoder

User Name: i3admin and default Password: i3admin, then click Add.

20. The selected encoder with all connected analog inputs will be added to the

IP Camera list.

HR16 Encoder default IP: 192.0.0.16. Default Login / PW: i3admin / i3admin

ADDING HR16 INPUTS TO i3 SRX-PRO SERVER

21. Assign the video channel(s) in the IP Camera tab, to the SRX-Pro video

channel(s) in the Ch In. column (mandatory), as needed.

22. To control your PTZ inputs through SRX-Pro Server, select i3 GiPi in the PTZ

drop-down menu to the PTZ inputs.

23. Save the settings. Your HR16 encoder is now connected to SRX-Pro Server

and is ready to record. You may change resolution and frame rate for the

Main stream of each of the video inputs connected to HR16 in the IP Camera

tab menu.

ADJUSTING FRAME RATE AND RESOLUTION FOR INPUT

SUB-STREAMS.

Each analog video input connected to HR16 has two configurable streams:

Main Stream and Sub Stream. While some settings for the input’s Main Stream

(FPS and resolution) can be adjusted directly from SRX-Pro Server’s IP Camera

tab, the Sub Stream settings can only be adjusted through the HR16 browser

interface.

1. Go to Setup > IP Camera setup tab in SRX-Pro Server.

2. Select your HR16 encoder in the list and click the Advanced Setup button.

3. In the IE Browser window, enter HR16 login and password: i3admin /

i3admin.

4. Go to Setup > Camera > Video Settings.

5. In the Video Settings setup, select your Channel No. (video input number

that corresponds the BNC connector numbering on the HR16 rear panel).

6. Select Sub Stream in the Stream Type drop-menu.

7. Configure Sub Stream Resolution, Bitrate Type, Video Quality, Frame Rate,

and Max. Bit Rate values.

Note, that you are also able to adjust the same values for the camera’s

Main Stream from this menu, while only Frame Rate and Resolution can be

adjusted directly from the SRX-Pro setup.

8. When satisfied with the settings, click Save. Wait for Save succeeded

message.

9. You can also copy these settings to other connected analog inputs by

clicking on Copy to... (optional)

If you were able to add HR16 to IP Camera setup tab, but no video input

images can be viewed in SRX-Pro Server, make sure you have Analog

Channel licenses on your system. To check, go to Setup > System Info

> License Management. In the License Management window, check

the value in the Max Analog Channels line. If this value is set to 0,

contact Customer Care to purchase additional licensing.
