Cisco Systems 1100 Connecting to an IP Network, Balanced Audio Input, Unbalanced Audio Input

Connecting to an IP Network

Table 2	Rear Panel Connectors and Components (continued)
Analog Inputs—Audio
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 high-end audio and video
	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.
