SETTINGS MENUS OF THE ENCODER

When "ON" is selected, it is also necessary to set the following 4 items:

NTP SERVER HOST/IP ADDRESS

INTERVAL (1 - 24 hour)

TIME ZONE

DAYLIGHT SAVINGS

NTP SERVER HOST/IP ADDRESS

Enter a host name or an IP address of an NTP server.

When a host name is entered, it is necessary to enter the IP address of the DNS server in the "DNS SERVER" input box on the NETWORK page. Otherwise, the NTP will not function.

There is no default setting.

2003/01/01 - 2038/01/19 [hh:mm:ss]

00:00:00 - 23:59:59

The default settings are "2003/01/01" and "00:00:00" respectively.

Note: If these settings are performed, it is possible to be informed of the time and date of an alarm occurrence.

When "MAIN CPU MODE (MAIN CPU EXISTS)" is selected for "MODE", it is possible to select whether the time and date to be displayed on the monitor are the time and date set on the camera side or on the control side.

PORT No.

Displays the port number (123) used for transmission to the NTP server.

It is impossible to change it.

INTERVAL (1 - 24 hour)

Set the interval time from 1 to 24 hour (1 hour step) to refer to the NTP server.

The default setting is "24" (referring to the NTP server every 24 hours).

TIME ZONE

Set the time zone (GMT) of where the encoder is installed.

The default setting is "(GMT - 05:00) Eastern Standard Time".

DAYLIGHT SAVINGS

Select "ON" or "OFF" to set whether to apply the summer time according to the area selected for "TIME ZONE".

When "ON" is selected, the clock is automatically advanced one hour in summer and is put back one hour in winter.

The default setting is "ON".

DATE

It is possible to set the time and date manually. This setting is valid when "OFF" is selected for "NTP".

The displayed time and date is the time and date when this page is opened.

Enter time and date in the respective input boxes. The valid time and date ranges are as follows. [YYYY/MM/DD]

DEVICE NAME/LOCATION/CONTACT/ SNMP COMMUNITY

Perform these settings only when using the SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol).

Enter alphanumeric characters or punctuation marks except for the double quotation mark (") and the semicolon (;).

MAIN CPU MODE SETUP

When "MAIN CPU MODE (MAIN CPU EXISTS)" is selected for "MODE", it is necessary to set the items in this section.

Note: The main CPU mode is the advanced function for integrated control.

START UP COMMAND

Depending on the network environment, select "BROADCAST", "MULTICAST" or UNICAST". When "MULTICAST" or "UNICAST" is selected, enter also the "DESTINATION IP ADDRESS". The entered IP address will be the destination IP address of the Main CPU receiving the start up command.

The default setting is "239.192.255.1".

MULTICAST IP ADDRESS FOR SETUP/MULTICAST PORT No. FOR SETUP

Enter an IP address and a port number to receive the setup command from the Main CPU.

The default settings are "239.192.255.2" for the IP address and "51203" for the port number.

WJ-GXD900, WJ-GXE900 specifications

The Panasonic WJ-GXE900 and WJ-GXD900 are top-tier video encoders designed to meet the increasing demands of surveillance applications. These devices are essential in providing high-quality video transmission over IP networks, making them ideal for both security and monitoring purposes.

One of the standout features of the WJ-GXE900 is its advanced encoding capability. It supports H.265 and H.264 compression standards, allowing for efficient bandwidth usage without compromising video quality. This technology is particularly beneficial for environments where bandwidth might be limited, as it significantly reduces the data load while maintaining impressive clarity, even in challenging lighting conditions.

The WJ-GXD900, on the other hand, is designed for high-definition video encoding. It also utilizes H.265 and H.264 technologies, but offers enhanced image processing capabilities. This includes advanced noise reduction, which helps to produce clearer images during low-light situations. Both models utilize 4K resolution support, allowing users to capture ultra-high-definition video, which is crucial for applications requiring detailed surveillance footage.

Another key characteristic of both models is their versatility in integration with IP cameras and other devices. They are compatible with a wide range of Panasonic and third-party IP cameras, ensuring that users can build a surveillance system tailored to their specific needs. This interoperability is vital for large installations where multiple camera types might be used.

The WJ-GXE900 and WJ-GXD900 also feature intuitive web-based interfaces, simplifying the setup and configuration processes. Users can easily manage settings, stream video, and monitor performance remotely from any device with internet access. This remote management capability is increasingly important in today's fast-paced environments, where quick responses and monitoring are critical.

Additionally, both models support multiple streaming options, including the ability to deliver video to various destinations simultaneously. This feature is particularly useful for organizations needing to distribute video feeds to multiple monitors or devices, enhancing real-time surveillance capabilities.

In conclusion, the Panasonic WJ-GXE900 and WJ-GXD900 are powerful video encoders that combine advanced technology with user-friendly features. Their support for high-quality video encoding, integration flexibility, and remote management capabilities make them excellent choices for any modern surveillance system. These devices exemplify Panasonic's commitment to innovation, reliability, and high-performance solutions in the realm of security technology.
