MAX-CSD10Video Decoder

MAX-CSD10 Video Decoder

This unit (FG2178-72) is engineered to provide real-time decoding of streamed digital video content out as Composite and S-Video signals for distribution onto external display devices such as a television, plasma screen, or projector, and video display- capable devices such as AMX Modero Touch Panels.

The rear Ethernet port supports IEEE 802.3af Power-over-Ethernet (POE) which enables DC power to be supplied to this device over the unused pairs of wires on the connected Ethernet cable. FIG. 1 shows the front and rear panel views.

Wiring Installation Procedures

The wiring parameters for the PWR, Serial, and Ethernet ports are described in detail within the following sections.

FIG. 1 MAX-CSD10 Video Decoder (front and rear views)

Note: This unit can be mounted onto either a flat surface or into an equipment rack by first removing the front screws and then attaching it to an AC-RK.

MAX-CSD10 (FG2178-72) Specifications

	•	PAL (576i)

Wiring The Power Connector

Use an external power supply (see Power Requirements) to provide power to the MAX-CSD10 through the rear 2-pin 3.5 mm mini-Phoenix connector (FIG. 1). The incoming PWR and GND cable from the power supply must be connected to the corresponding locations within the PWR connector.

Power-Over-Ethernet (POE) Connection

Caution: If using Power-over-Ethernet as your source of power, you must FIRST ground the unit to provide ESD protection. Install only a single wire into the (-) GND side of the rear green 2-pin PWR connector, and then connect the terminal-end of this same wire to a grounded source. It is recommended that the length of this wire

NOT exceed 6 ft. (1.83 m).

Any 802.3af-compliant POE switch (such as the NXA-ENET24 POE) can automatically detect the 802.3af-compliant MAX device by its authenticated POE signature and sense its required load before turning on DC power to the POE Ethernet port.

Note: Power-over-Ethernet connections work with all existing Category 3, 4, 5, 5e or 6 network cabling, including patch cables and patch-panels, outlets, and other connecting hardware, without requiring modification.

Reading the Ethernet LEDs

The MAX-CSD10 uses a standard CAT5 Ethernet cable to provide 10/100 network connectivity between the encoder and the network (FIG. 2).

Supported Video	• MPEG2 (2 Mbps - 6 Mbps)
Codecs:	• MPEG4 (500Kbps - 3 Mbps)
Supported Audio	• MPEG Audio Level 2 (MP2)
Codecs:	• MPEG Audio Level 3 (MP3)
	• AAC
Front Panel	•	ID Pushbutton: Used to both set the NetLinx ID (Device only)
Components:	•	assignment and reset the unit back to its factory defaults.
		Status LED: Green LED blinks to indicate both the system and
	•	communication status with the target Master.
		LCD Display: Provides system information such as the
	•	currently used IP Address.
		IR Receiver: Receives 38KHz AMX IR codes.
Rear Panel	• COMPOSITE OUT: Composite Video Output (NTSC or PAL)
Connectors:	•	via a female BNC connector.
		12VDC PWR: Single 2-pin 3.5mm mini-Phoenix (male) captive-
		wire connector from an optional 12 VDC power supply
	•	(overrides POE).
		S-VIDEO OUT: Mini-Din4 port for composite S-Video output.
	•	ETHERNET 10/100: Single RJ-45 port provides 10/100 Mbps
		network communication and POE. LEDs show communication
		activity, connections, speeds, and mode information (FIG. 2).
	• AUDIO R/L: Two RCA connectors (Red and White) support
	•	line-level stereo output for analog stereo signals.
		IR/Serial: Single 2-pin 3.5mm mini-Phoenix (male) captive-wire
		connector is used for IR/Serial control output by generating IR
		with the use of an IR emitter (while in IR mode). This port can
		support high-frequency carriers of up to 1.142 MHz and can
		also generate IR with no carrier frequency.

SPD - Speed LED lights (yellow) when the connection speed is 100 Mbps and turns Off when the speed is 10 Mbps.

L/A - Link/Activity LED lights (green) when the Ethernet cables are connected and terminated correctly. Blinks when receiving Ethernet data packets.
