1 Introduction
1.1 Digital video recorder for security applications
The Divar XF is a video and audio recording system that records multiple camera and audio signals while simultaneously providing live multiscreen viewing and playback. The unit has comprehensive search and playback facilities for viewing stored video. Once configured, all recording takes place in the background without requiring operator intervention. Maximum recording rates of 30 (NTSC) and 25 (PAL) images per second, per channel, are guaranteed. The recording rate and quality are selectable per camera. Up to four internal hard disks can be used to provide various storage capacities for recording. All models have extensive alarm handling functions and telemetry control. Alarm functions include motion detection in user-definable areas of the image on any camera input. The unit can be easily operated and programmed via the front panel control keys, mouse, and the on-screen display menu system. Two monitor outputs provide full-screen, quad, and multiscreen viewing. Connect a KBD (Intuikey) keyboard for PTZ control and to improve the ease-of-use. Looping auto-terminating video inputs and outputs, audio inputs and outputs, alarm inputs and outputs, and remote control connectors are on the rear panel. Two VGA connectors provide outputs for an A and a B monitor. CVBS and Y/C video outputs in either NTSC or PAL are also provided. Monitor A displays full-screen or multiscreen digital pictures that can be frozen and zoomed. Monitor B displays live full-screen or multiscreen pictures. Use the Control Center PC-application via a network for live viewing, playback, and configuration. Five simultaneous users can control multiple Divar XFs. The Divar XF includes an authenticity check for both local and remote playback. A dedicated PC player is provided for playback of secure video files. The PC-based Configuration Tool facilitates the installation of the unit. An SDK (software development kit) is available to integrate the Divar XF into third party management software.
1.1.1 Versions
There are various Divar XF models; 8-channel and 16-channel, each with various storage capacities. Both 8-channel and 16-channel versions operate in exactly the same way except that fewer camera, audio, and alarm inputs are present, and the number of available multiscreen views differs.
