Operating Configurations
The DVMD1
is a standalone unit with its own Digital Signal Processor (DSP). It requires only
power and video input and produces video output with overlay and a dry contact relay alarm. The
user may wish to customize the performance of the unit to accommodate a site-specific
operational environment. Connecting the DVMD1 to a PC through a serial cable and running the
Manager program supplied with the unit allows the user to make setting and mask adjustments.
The program brings up a window that allows the user to modify the DVMD1
performance by
changing a variety of settings.
A security system with multiple video cameras may use multiple DVMD1
units that are chained
together. Within such a system, each unit must be assigned a unique address. Chaining DVMD1
units and setting up the addresses is covered in a later section of this manual. When working with
a single unit, the default address is 0. In the next section, setting the address of a single unit will
be described.
Figure 2A illustrates the DVMD1
in the single-unit configuration. All of the signal processing and
user settings are saved in the configuration portion of the onboard flash memory. This allows the
DVMD to be configured for a variety of stand-alone applications.
