Description
The NET5308T-EXP multichannel dual stream video encoder is an enterprise-class, 8-input video encoding unit that is used exclusively with the 
NET5300B base module. Designed to accommodate the stringent requirements of high-performance video monitoring applications, each 
NET5308T-EXP converts eight channels of live analog video into dual MPEG-4 video streams at up to 4CIF resolution and 30 images per second 
(ips) per stream.
The NET5308T-EXP captures up to eight audio inputs simultaneously. It provides this powerful video and audio encoding capability in an 
extremely small footprint, thus optimizing the physical space required for video monitoring and recording operations. Once converted to MPEG-4, 
the unit transmits these streams over a USB 2.0 interface through its NET5300B to an NVR5100 Series network video recorder or other Endura
®
 
video recorder. These streams can be decoded by the following Endura components:
NET5301R video decoder: Converts up to 4 video streams for display or recording on an analog device.
Endura workstation: Converts up to 16 video streams for display on a computer monitor.
VCD5000 video console display: Converts up to 64 video streams (depending on model) for display or recording on an analog device.
CM9700MDD-EVS matrix video decoder: Converts 1 video stream for display on matrix monitors.
GW5000 Endura gateway: Delivers up to 4 simultaneous video streams from the Endura network to users communicating through a 
public network with limited bandwidth, such as a Local Area Network (LAN), Wide Area Network (WAN), or the Internet.
The NET5308T-EXP can be configured for eight alarm inputs and four relay outputs. When an alarm event is triggered, the Endura system can 
send a message to an operator, trigger a relay, and implement video recording.
The unit also supports activity detection. You can configure up to four activity zones per video input. When the NET5308T-EXP detects activity in 
any of these areas, it can trigger an alarm event.
The NET5308T-EXP supports one audio input for each video input, and associates the audio with the primary video stream. The system operators 
(security personnel) can hear activity at the associated camera site over the network.
The NET5308T-EXP with its NET5300B supports control of pan/tilt/zoom (PTZ) cameras. It supports Pelco D, Pelco P, and Coaxitron
®
 protocols. 
With Coaxitron, the NET5300B receives commands from a Pelco controller and transmits those commands to the PTZ device through the 
NET5308T-EXP. With Pelco D/Pelco P, the NET5300B transmits those commands directly to the PTZ device over a serial connection.
With its modular design, you can connect up to two NET5308T-EXP units to each NET5300B for a maximum of 16 analog video inputs per 
NET5300B.
Video can be monitored and played from the CM9700 Series (CM9760/9770/9780) matrix, an Endura workstation, or a VCD5000 video console 
display.
