1.3 Functions of major connectors 1.3.1 Major connectors Figure 1. Major Connectors of ECP240-32 1.3.2 Details of major connectors (1) 3-pin Jumper for restoring FPGA firmware (JP1) 3-pin Jumper is used when restoring broken FPGA firmware. The jumper pins is connected to NO/UP upon delivery from the factory. Note! The Jumper Cap should be connected to either NO/UP or RE pins; otherwise the ECP240-32 card cannot be recognized in the SYSTEM. Any one of the NO/UP or RE pins must be connected with the Jumper Cap. Figure 2. 3-pin Jumper for restoring FPGA firmware NO/UP (Normal/Update): position of the Jumper Cap at normal operation RE (Restore): position of the Jumper Cap when restoring broken FPGA firmware Care should be taken when executing work related with the FPGA firmware. The FPGA firmware update method must be read before starting the work. A UDP Co., Ltd. 2

(2) DVI Connector for video input (U37, U38) A DVI supports for 16 video input. There are 2 DVI Connector for 32 video inputs. Low one (U37) is for Video Channel 1 ~ 16 and upper one (U38) is for video channel 17 ~ 32. Figure 3. DVI Connectors (3) 12-pin Connector for analog cascade Not used. (4) 40-pin Box Connector for video input (J8, J9) There are two 40-pin Box Connectors for video signal. Functionally, it works the same way as the DVI Connectors U37 and U38, but it is operated differently. 1 When using as the video input : The cameras shall be connected to the back panel of the video input connector. The back panel and capture card are connected by 40-pin flat cable. The analog video signal is put into the capture card through the back panel and 40-pin flat cable. Caution! At this time, be careful not to connect the camera to the DVI Connectors U37 or U38. 2 When transferring a video signal to another extension card (ex.:ovr3500): Connect camera to DVI Connector of capture card using DVI & 16BNC/2RCA Cable. The 40-pin Box Connectors of the OVR3500 and the 40-pin Box Connectors of the ECP240-32 are connected by 40-pin flat cables. Be sure to connect the cable correctly using a connector with a protrusion. A UDP Co., Ltd. 3

One is supplied with the capture card and the other is replaced by the existing reset cable enclosed in the case of the system. Firstly, the cable in the reset terminal of the system case is connected to the 2-pin Connector (J5) of the watchdog. The other cable is to be connected to the 2-pin Connector (J6) of the watchdog and the reset terminal of the motherboard. The watchdog pin header has no polarity or direction. Therefore, the cable may be plugged in the reverse direction or the connection of J5 and J6 may be interchanged. Detailed functions of the watchdog will be explained in Chapter 2.4 Watchdog functions and connection.

supplied as a basic accessory. Details will be explained in the extension card hardware manual separately supplied. (7) 12-pin Connector for Digital Cascade Not used. (8) 4-pin Connector for I 2 C Not used. (9) 5-pin Connector for Audio input (J1 ~ J4) Each 5-pin Connector provides 4 audio channels. The ECP240-32 is equipped with four 5-pin Connector therefore it supports 16 audio channels. Figure 7. 5-pin Connector for Audio input 1.3.3 DVI & 16BNC/2RCA Cable This cable is used for ECP240-32 / ECP240-32EX. It has 16BNC Connectors for Video input and 2RCA Connectors for external monitors. Figure 8. DVI & 16BNC/2RCA Cable A UDP Co., Ltd. 5

1.3.4 Additional power connection for ECP240-32EX ECP240-32EX (PCI Express version of ECP240-32) requires an additional power connection, which means you should connect power cable from a power supply to ECP240-32EX as the following Figure 9. Because it is that PCI Express does not supply 5V power from a slot. Figure 9. How to connect an additional power connection with ECP240-32EX NOTE BIOS does not recognize ECP240-32EX, if the additional power connection is not connected. A UDP Co., Ltd. 6

Watchdog ECP240-32 System Reset Button Motherboard Figure 10. 4 Watchdog Function Schematic Operation Principle A UDP Co., Ltd. 7

When the internal watchdog counter counts down to zero, an alarm is sounded and the system is reset. The DVR system sets the watchdog timer periodically to prevent the watchdog function for resetting the system. When the system malfunctions, the DVR system is prevented to set the watchdog timer and a system reset results. Pressing the system reset button manually has the same effect as a system reset initiated by the watchdog function. Alarm To prevent system abruptly resets without any prior notification, the DVR system administrator can setup the system to sound an alarm for a predetermined period before a system reset occurs. Watchdog function does not start automatically when the system is turned on. It is enabled only when the DVR system is setup to use the watchdog function. Watchdog does not recognize manual system resets. If the system is reset manually while the watchdog is enabled, the watchdog function may reset the system again before system booting for the manual reset is completed. The watchdog initially remains at function stop state and was designed to reset without sounding a buzzer. To sound the buzzer prior to watchdog resetting, it is required to make the software control the watchdog and set the time of sounding the buzzer. The watchdog function in the software stops when the system is newly booted or reset by the watchdog so it is necessary to set the watchdog function every time. Two sets of 2-pin cable are is required to connect the watchdog cable. One is supplied with the capture card and the other is replaced by the existing reset cable enclosed in the case of the system. Firstly, the cable in the reset terminal button of the system case shall beis connected to the J5 2-pin Connector of the watchdog. Motherboard restart connector and 2-pin Connector (J6) are connected using 2-pin cable. The 2-pin Connector has no polarity or direction. As such, the cable may be plugged in the reverse direction or the connection of J5 and J6 may be interchanged. Figure 11 depicts the example of watchdog cable connection. A UDP Co., Ltd. 8

2.5 Connection with peripheral equipment Figure 12. ECP240-32 and connection with peripheral equipment 2.6 FPGA firmware updating The firmware can be modified in order to upgrade the performance and improve the stability of the ECP240-32. When newly delivered from the factory, most up-to-date firmware is installed. The existing firmware can be updated to a newer one or can be restored if damaged. Update to a new firmware The Jumper Cap should not be moved. The Jumper Cap is plugged in the NO/UP position. The ECP240-32 driver can be utilized as the device driver A UDP Co., Ltd. 10

Execute the FPGA firmware update program separately supplied. Proceed with the updating in accordance with the indication of the update program. Reboot the system. The ECP240-32 will not be operated by the new firmware unless the system is rebooted. Caution! Stop all other application programs except the update program in order to ensure stable updating of the program. If the updating is not succeeded or if the firmware seems to be damaged, restoration can be executed by the following methods. Restoring broken firmware 1 Turn off the power to the system. 2 Remove the ECP240-32 card from the system. 3 Move the jumper wire from the FPGA firmware restoring pin header JP2 to RE. 4 Insert the ECP240-32 card into the system and turn on the power to the system. The ECP240-32 card will restore automatically into the most stable firmware. While the restoring process is ongoing, the user can proceed to the next steps. 5 Once the windows are successfully booted, execute the firmware update program and according to the indication of the program, update the firmware. 6 If the update is successfully completed, be sure to shutdown system, without rebooting. 7 After checking that the power to the system is off, remove the ECP240-32 card. Move the jumper wire from the FPGA firmware restoring pin header to NO/UP position. 8 Install the ECP240-32 card into the system. Firmware restoration is now completed. Caution! When moving the 3-pin Jumper cap, be sure to remove the ECP240-32 card from the SYSTEM prior to initialize the work. Caution! Stop all the other application programs except the update program in order to ensure stable updating of the program. Normally, the updating process will not fail, however, if failed, apply the Restoring broken firmware process for firmware restoration. A UDP Co., Ltd. 11
