Default LAN port IP Addresses
For ease of access to the local web setup interface, and ONVIF video output, the HD-R700 encoder’s local Ethernet
port is pre-configured with a static IP address:

Connecting HD-SDI and composite cameras
The HD-R700 supports connection of a single HD-SDI digital video camera and two standard definition (SD) composite
video cameras. The HD-SDI input is the primary video input for the encoder and delivers high-definition streaming and
local recording at up to 1080p resolution. The composite inputs are secondary inputs.
• To connect an HD-SDI camera to the HD-R700, connect a 75 Ohms coaxial cable into the HD-SDI connector
on the encoder and the video out SDI connector on the camera. Ensure that the cable is a suitable
specification for HD video transmission.
• To connect an SD camera to the HD-R700, connect an appropriate multifunction cable to an SD input
connector on the encoder and attach the composite coaxial lead to the composite output of the camera.
• For PTZ cameras, connect the serial lines of a multifunction cable to the appropriate PTZ inputs on the
camera. Customized cables may be required to match the connector requirements of the camera.
See Appendix C for more detailed connector details.
Warning:HD-R700 camera power feature
One of the capabilities of the HD-R700 is that it can provide power to attached cameras. This allows the encoder to
save power by only powering cameras when necessary, and can simplify deployments by having the HD-R700 as the
sole piece of equipment requiring a power source.
However incorrect use of the camera power feature can damage the HD-R700. If:
1. The HD-R700 is configured to supply power to the camera AND
2. A separate camera power source/supply is also attached to the camera
then it is possible that the camera’s power source may feed into the HD-R700 (or vice versa).
THIS IS NOT RECOMMENDED, and may cause damage to your equipment:
• If the camera power source is a higher voltage than the 12V supplied by the HD-R700 (e.g. new batteries will often
supply 14-15V initially) then it is possible to damage the HD-R700.
• If the camera power source’s voltage is lower than the 12V supplied by the HD-R700, it is possible to damage either
the camera or camera power source.
By default, the HD-R700 does not supply camera power, and as such the issue can only occur if the unit is configuration
doesn’t match the deployment scenario AND there is a power cable connecting the HD-R700 and camera. To avoid any
potential issues, please follow the following operating procedure.
