1.1 GV-2004, 2008
The GV-2004 and GV-2008, as four-in-one combo cards, include the features of previous
GV-Video Capture Card (recording of up to 16 video channels), GV-DSP Card (real-time
display), GV-A16 Card (recording of up to 16 audio channels), and GV-Hybrid DVR Card
(hardware compression). This economic device not only provides a single-card solution
but also saves the PCI slots.

Connections (GV-2008)
For the GV-2008 Card, you can choose to install one or two GV-2008 Cards to meet your
different needs. Connect the D-Type video and audio cable to the GV-2008 Card. If
needed, connect the TV monitor to the GV-2008 Card.
When you install two GV-2008 Cards in a computer, you need to classify them as a master
and a slave card. Insert them to their own slots determined by the PCI slot IDs. Use the 6pin cable to connect the slave card to the master card. See Figure 1-3.

Connecting Slave Card to Master Card
• The card attached to the lower PCI slot number will act as Master, and the card
attached to the higher PCI slot number will act as Slave.
• Connect both cards’ inner pins with the 6-Pin Cable. See (A) connection in the Figure
below.
• In a computer where two GV-2008 Cards are installed, only 8 channels are functional
when the GV-System is running. It may be that the position of Master card and Slave
card is reversed, so the 6-Pin Cable is connected to the wrong pin assignment. To
solve the problem, please try to connect both cards’ outer pins with the 6-Pin Cable.
See (B) connection in the Figure below.

Adjusting the Video Settings in the Main System
One distinct feature of the GV-2004 and GV-2008 Cards is their ability of hardware
compression, providing you with higher system performance and DVD recording quality.
To take full advantage of the GV-2004 and GV-2008 Cards, you can adjust the video
settings, including the codec, video resolution, frame rate, before running the GV-System.
Set the video settings of the recorded files:
Considering the computer performance or quality of recordings, you may adjust the
settings to meet your needs.
1. On the Main System, click the Configure button, point to Camera / Audio Install, and
click Hybrid Camera Install. This dialog box appears.
Figure 1-4
2. Check the cameras you want to set up, and click the Configure button. This dialog box
appears.

3. Use the drop-down list to select the camera for configuration.
4. In the fields of Video Resolution and Frame Rate Control, use the drop-down list to
select your changes. If you want to apply the same settings to all selected cameras,
click the finger button in each field.
5. In the field of Codec Select, use the drop-down list to select the codec. Note that
selected codec applies to all cameras. If you change the codec selection when you
configure another camera, the newly selected codec replaces the previous selection.
Note: The default settings are as follows: Record Quality is 3, Video Resolution is
720 x 480 (NTSC) or 720 x 576 (PAL), Codec is MPEG 4 (ASP) and Frame Rate is 30.

There are two types of GV-800 and GV-650 Cards: BNC and D-Type. BNC type only
provides four video channels; video and audio extension cards are required for extension.
D-Type can provide up to 16 video channels and four audio channels together.
For the D-Type video capture card, plug the black video/audio cable into the black
connector on the GV-650/800 Card; the blue video cable into the blue connector, as
illustrated below.
Note: The GV-650 Card only supports two audio channels so that only two audio
ports can work in the supplied 1-8 Cams with 4-Port Audio D-Type cable.

2.2 GV-Hybrid DVR Card
The GV-Hybrid DVR Card supports hardware-based compression, giving you less CPU
usage and higher system performance. It features:
• DVD recording quality.
• Support for exporting DVD format files.
The Characteristics of GV-Hybrid DVR Card
• You can connect up to four GV-Hybrid DVR Cards to one GV-System; one GV-Hybrid
DVR Card supports up to four channels.
• The GV-Hybrid DVR Card only affects video recording; all live views are still provided
by the GV-Video Capture Card.
• For audio recording, the audio inputs of the GV-Video Capture Card always have the
sequence priority over those of GV-Hybrid DVR Card. For example, GV-800 Card has
4 audio channels, so that the GV-Hybrid DVR Card’s audio channels will be from 5 to
upwards.
• The GV-Hybrid DVR Card supported-channels do not work with the Pre-Rec Motion
feature.
For further operations on GV-System, see Configuring Hybrid Cameras, Chapter 1, User’s
Manual on the Surveillance System Software CD.

This chapter includes the following information:

• Installing a program
• Program list
Page 81
3.1 Before You Start
For optimal performance of your system, it is important to follow these recommendations
before installing the system software:
• It is strongly recommended to divide your hard disk into two partitions. One partition is
for installing Windows OS and System Software, and the other for storing audio/video
files and system logs.
• When formatting hard disk, select NTFS as the file system on both logical drives.
• GV-System is a multi-channel video recording system. With normal use of the system,
the logical drives containing video files will become fragmented. This is because GVSystem constantly stores video files of multi channels simultaneously, and video files
will be scattered all over the drives. It is not necessary to regularly perform disk
defragmentation. Since the system software and video files are stored on two
separated logical drives, the performance of your system will not be affected.

3.2 Installing the System
When you insert the Surveillance System Software CD, the Install Program window will
pop up automatically:
Figure 3-1 The Install Program Window
Before installing the system software, make sure DirectX 9.0c is already installed on your
computer.
DirectX
If your computer doesn’t have the latest version of Direct X, click Install DirectX 9.0c in
the Install Program window.
79
Page 83
Installing the System
To install the GV-System, follow these steps:
1. In the Install Program window, click Install GeoVision xxx System (ex. Install
GeoVision V8.1.0.0 System).
2. To install the Main System, select GeoVision Main System, and follow the on-screen
instructions.
3. Follow the above steps to install other programs one by one.
Uninstalling the System
To uninstall the GV-System, follow these steps:
1. Close any open programs because your computer will restart during the uninstalling
process.
2. On the taskbar, click the Start button, point to Programs, select the system folder,
and then click Uninstall GeoVision System.
Note: Uninstalling the system will not delete video files and log files previously saved
in the computer.
