Unbalanced Audio Input | These RCA connectors provide left and right stereo input. | |
|
| RCA connectors are a standard consumer stereo audio |
|
| connection found on most video players and video cameras. |
Balanced Audio Input | These XLR connectors provide left and right balanced stereo |
| input. XLR connectors are used by professional audio |
| engineers and are found on |
| playback equipment. |
| Note A microphone preamplifier or mixer with XLR |
| preamp functions is required to connect a XLR |
| microphone to the Balanced Audio Input. |
Connecting to an IP Network
The encoder provides two network 1 Gigabit Ethernet network connections (Figure 3). These connectors are also referred to as output connectors because the encoder sends video and audio over an IP network, which these connections provide.

Note If you are not familiar with network protocols, please contact your network administrator for assistance.
The encoder network settings default to dynamically obtain an IP address from a DHCP server on the network.
If a DHCP server is not available or cannot be found on the network, then the encoder will assign its own IP address.
For most network environments, it will not be necessary to modify these default settings. However, if you wish to assign a static IP address to the encoder’s Network Interface Cards (NICs), then you can change the network setting by using the encoder front panel menu. For detailed instructions, please refer to the User Guide for Cisco Digital Media Encoder 1100.
