1Introduction
1.1Digital 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.
1.1.1Versions
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.
