of MAGNA Telemotive GmbH. The Video Encoders are used to connect analog cameras
(NTSC/PAL). The network cameras can be connected directly to the data logger.
The system allows the recording of up to four different video streams at the same time. For that
the server (or a network camera) and the data logger must be connected to each other and con-
figured separately by a HTML-based client.
The video streams are recorded in real-time and in a specified time interval in the logger. They
can be downloaded into a control unit for offline use. They can also be converted to a video file
and transferred from the logger into a computer. The video block length can be adjusted to 15
up to 60 seconds and the videos are stored in the mpeg4 format.
Attention:
The Video Encoder and the cameras are not set by default to standby mode, which may
be a reason for an empty battery.
After rebooting the system takes approximately 120 seconds to be synchronized. The recording
starts immediately after the synchronization.
If the Ethernet cable was removed between the Video Encoder / camera and the data logger
and plugged in again, the system takes around 11 seconds for the resynchronization.
If the supply voltage is removed from the Video Encoder / camera during the recording, it takes
about 120 seconds to be synchronized (after a reconnection).
AXIS camera and Video Encoder should be operating within the AXIS specification. This is es-
pecially required for power and environmental parameters.
This user guide describes the configuration and usage of this feature. The general configuration
is described in the user guides of the used data logger as well as the System Client, which is
valid together.
