HARDWARE INSTALLATION
Refer to 
Appendix A - Connecting PelcoNet to Different Components
 for diagrams that show various
connections.
Connecting Video Sources Or Displays
To connect a camera, plug a standard coaxial cable into the BNC connector at the front of the trans-
mitter. You can connect any camera or other video source (for example, a VCR with a composite PAL
or NTSC output). The input accepts color or black and white sources and automatically detects
whether it is PAL or NTSC. When using a VCR as an input source, you can improve the video quality
by setting the Input Source to VCR in the Video Settings Configuration Page (see the 
Configuration
section). The video input has an internal termination of 75 ohms.
To connect a monitor, use a standard coaxial cable and plug it into the BNC connector at the front of
the receiver. Any PAL or NTSC video monitor with a composite PAL or NTSC input can be connected.
Moreover, a VCR can be connected to store the received video on a VCR tape.
The default output format is composite NTSC. To switch the video output to composite PAL, set the Output
Standard to PAL on the Video Settings Configuration Page (see the 
Configuration
 section). You must then
reboot the unit for the change to take effect.
Connecting Audio Equipment
The two audio channels available if the unit has the audio option are called handset and audio in/out.
Only one of these two can be active at a time.

Figure 19.  Pin Assignment Of The Handset RJ-11 Receptacle
You can connect a handset to the RJ-11 receptacle labeled Handset on the front of the PelcoNet Trans-
mission System. To select this audio interface, put a checkmark in the radio button labeled
 
Handset on
the Audio Settings Configuration Page.
You can also set the input and output level (from 0-100%) on this configuration menu. And, the coding mode at
the sending side can be set (using the menu item Coding Mode) between two different modes or switched off.
The audio decoder automatically follows the selected audio coding of the transmitter. If the receiver cannot
decode the selected mode, an automatic fall-back to the next available audio mode occurs.
The second audio channel is available at the two RCA jacks labeled Audio In and Audio Out at the front
of the unit. To choose this channel, select the radio button Line In/Out on the Audio Settings Configuration
Page. Level and coding mode settings apply to this channel in the same manner as described above for
the first channel.
