DEFINING VIDEO INPUT, CONTINUED
Video Inputs
The total number of video inputs allowed in a MAXPRO-Net
system is 9999.
Ref
The video input reference number is purely a reference number
used to distinguish one video input device from another
(regardless of the video input device type – cameras, VCRs, etc.).
The video input reference number field is NOT a changeable field.
Device Type
Each video input device must be given a device type so that
MAXPRO-Net knows what selection and control parameters apply
to the device. You may either select the device type from the list
box as shown below or type in the required device (most of the
device types are selectable by merely typing in the first character,
e.g. c or C will automatically select Camera).
The currently supported video input device types are as follows:
⇒
Camera - fixed and PTZ
⇒
VCR (video cassette recorder) - dedicated or Dub VCR
⇒
Smart Device - devices such as multiplexers
⇒
Standard Device - other devices, freeze frames, etc.
⇒
Trunk - trunk video input (from a networked system)
⇒
Menu - MAXPRO-Net system menu (using MaxMon)
⇒
Black Source - black source for monitor blanking, etc.
⇒
Standby VCR - Standby VCR as used in VCR Management
⇒
Logging VCR - Monitor logging VCR as used in VCR
Management
When the desired device type is displayed in the field, press Enter
on the keyboard.
