Device Network SDK User Manual

1 SDK Overview
The device network SDK is developed based on private network communication protocol,
and it is designed for the remote connection and configuration of embedded devices. This
document is mainly for decoder, and the main device types are listed as below:
DS-6300D(-JX), DS-6400HD(-JX/-T) series decoder

This document introduces only the major function supported by decoder, and please get
more information about other function and related structures from Device Network SDK
Programming Manual.chm.

The device network SDK has both Windows and Linux version.

1. Windows version supports Windows7/XP/2000/2003/Vista(32bit), and it has the files:

Network HCNetSDK.h head file

Communication HCNetSDK.lib LIB file

Library HCNetSDK.dll DLL file

Qos Library QosControl.dll DLL file

RTSP Communication
StreamTransClient.dll DLL file
Library

PlayM4.h head file

Software Decode
PlayCtrl.lib LIB file
Library
PlayCtrl.dll DLL file

Encapsulation
Transformation SystemTransform.dll DLL file
Library

DataType.h head file

Hardware decode and DecodeCardSdk.h

Library DsSdk.lib LIB file

DsSdk.dll DLL file

2. Linux version supports the system(32bit) that gcc-v is 4.1 or above. The tested system
have RedHat AS 5/6, (Fedora)FC10/12, CentOS 5, SUSE 10, openSUSE 11, and Ubuntu 9.04/10.04.
The SDK has the files:

Network
hcnetsdk.h head file
Communication
libhcnetsdk.so SO file
Library
 2
Device Network SDK User Manual

Qos Library libQosControl.so SO file

RTSP Communication
libStreamTransClient.so SO file
Library

Software Decode playsdkpu.h head file

Library libm4play.so SO file

Encapsulation
Transformation libSystemTransform.so SO file
Library

HCNetSDK is required to be loaded for client development, and the other '.dll' files are
optional components.

The Network Communication Library is the main functional part of the device network SDK.
It is used for communication between the client and devices, including remote control &
configuration, video stream acquiring and handling, etc; and Network communication library
will dynamically loading RTSP communication library, Software decoding library, Hardware
decoding library, etc. Network communication library combines a lot of functions from the
Software decoding library and Hardware decoding library to facilitate the programming work.
However, it is suggested the users to get video stream from 'HCNetSDK.dll', and call relative
APIs in the Software decoding library or Hardware decoding library directly if you want to
build a system with more complete functions, or in a more flexible way.
The 'QosControl' library is stream bitrate control library, used for push mode SDK.
RTSP Communication Library only supports IP devices. Users need to load this component
for operations like streaming from products which support RTSP protocol.
Software Decoding Library is used for decoding real-time video stream (remote live view),
playback files, etc. It has included standard stream decoding function. If users needs to play
real-time stream or recoding data and display(i.e. the second structure parameter play
handle of NET_DVR_RealPlay_V30 interface set to effective), must load this component.
However, if users just need to use it for capturing data, then do external operation, needn't
load this component, this way is more flexible.
Encapsulation transformation library function can be divided into two pieces: one is
converting standard stream data to private encapsulation format stream data. When users
need to capture private format stream data from products supporting RTSP protocol(that is
setting callback function of NET_DVR_RealPlay_V30 interface for capturing data or call
NET_DVR_SetRealDataCallBack interface to capture data), must load this component.
Another is converting standard stream data to other package format, such as 3GPP,PS and so
on. For example, when users need to capture specific package format real-time stream data
from products supporting RTSP protocol(corresponding interface is NET_DVR_SaveRealData),
must load this component.
Hardware Decoding Library can only be used when there is MDI card installed in the PC, and
it can output video or video matrix to analog monitors. For decoder, this library is not
required.

2 API Calling Procedure

Notes: The part in dashed box is optional and will not affect the function and use of other
process and modules.

2.1 The Calling Procedure of Decoder

Fuction modules of multi-channel decoder include display channel control, parameter

configuration, dynamic decoding, passive decoding, transparent channel configuration, getting
device status information and getting device capability set modules. All modules need to register
user to the device, and the user ID returned from NET_DVR_Login_V30 is used as parameter of
other APIs.

Display channel control module: configuration of each parameter of display channel, audio
turn on & off, and zoom control of child window. For details, please refer to "Configuration
and Control of Display Channel".
Parameter configuration module: to configure the basic parameters of the multi-channel
decoder, the related APIs: NET_DVR_GetDVRConfig and NET_DVR_SetDVRConfig. For details,
please refer to Parameter Configuration.
Active decoding module: the decoder gets the stream data from encoder devices actively,
then decodes the data. The related function has: 1) get the parameter of dynamic decoding;
2)control the decoding, including the starting and stopping the dynamic decoding and circle
decoding, controlling the playback of remote files, and getting the status of decoding; 3)
upload LOGO to the decoder. For details, please refer to Active Decoding Procedure.
Passive decoding module: start decoding, send data and stop decoding of passive decoding
channels. For details, please refer to Passive Decoding Procedure.
Transparent channel configuration module: configure related parameters of transparent
 4
Device Network SDK User Manual

channel. For details, please refer to Transparent Channel Configuration.

Get device status information: It supports to get the status information of decoding, alam
input, alarm output, and voice talk by calling NET_DVR_MatrixGetDeviceStatus_V41.
Get device capability set: It supports to get the capability information ofdisplay and
decoding by calling NET_DVR_GetDeviceAbility.

2.2 Active Decoding Procedure

2.2.1 Decode Real-time Stream

After login the decoder, it requires to set the display channel firstly. Please set the decoding
channel associated with the display channel, otherwise, it is not able to start decoding
 5

normally. The related APIs: NET_DVR_MatrixGetDisplayCfg_V41,

NET_DVR_MatrixSetDisplayCfg_V41.
Call NET_DVR_MatrixStartDynamic_V30 to start dynamic decoding, the decoder will get
stream form the encoder device and decode the data.
It supports to set circle decoding, by calling NET_DVR_MatrixSetLoopDecChanInfo_V30 to
set circle group and calling NET_DVR_MatrixSetLoopDecChanEnable to start circle decoding.
Example Code

2.2.2 Remote File Playback

After login the decoder, it requires to set the display channel firstly. Please set the decoding
channel associated with the display channel, otherwise, it is not able to start decoding
normally. The related APIs: NET_DVR_MatrixGetDisplayCfg_V41,
NET_DVR_MatrixSetDisplayCfg_V41.
Set to decode remote record files: firstly, please call NET_DVR_MatrixSetRemotePlay to set
playback by time or by file name, and then call NET_DVR_MatrixSetRemotePlayControl to
start encoding.
Example Code
 6
Device Network SDK User Manual

2.3 Passive Decoding Procedure

After login the decoder, it requires to set the display channel firstly. Please set the decoding
channel associated with the display channel, otherwise, it is not able to start decoding
normally. The related APIs: NET_DVR_MatrixGetDisplayCfg_V41,
NET_DVR_MatrixSetDisplayCfg_V41.
After calling NET_DVR_MatrixStartPassiveDecode to start passive decoding, please call
NET_DVR_MatrixSendData to send data to the decoding channel. The data to be decoded
can be get from remote device or read from record file, and the size of data for each sending
should be less than 30K bytes.
Decoding control: pause, fast play, slow play, open or close sound, clear buffer, and so on.
Related APIs: NET_DVR_MatrixPassiveDecodeControl.

232/485 transparent channel between with the PC client, local serial port can
only be the access port of the serial console (via RS 232) or device like control
keyboard (via RS232/RS485).
