Deployable Emergency Video Information
System (DEVIS)
DEVIS is a mobile, computer based system used to
display Microsoft PowerPoint™ Presentations over
CCTV, CATV, or broadcast video lines and
airwaves. The unit has two major modes of
operation —to display normal, user-designed,
presentations and to switch on user command to
emergency presentations. DEVIS is capable of
playing audio directly through it’s line-in
port, and overriding with emergency messages. It
features telephone dual-tone multi-f requency
(DTMF) control for switching presentations,
switching audio source, recording messages, and
playback of messages. The system is also
controllable via Ethernet, making it a flexible device,
accessable throughout the world.

WARNING
Unit is capable of operating on 110VAC to 240VAC, 60Hz/50Hz. Ensure you use only ground isolation main
void warranty. Further, ensure your AC voltage supply socket is single-phase only at either 60Hz or 50Hz—
400Hz and 3-phase power can damage or destroy the unit.
****************************
Lethal operating voltages present at internal system power supply. Completely disconnect main power cord
prior to opening cover or removing any panels. Appropriately trained personnel only should attempt any
internal modifications, repairs, or service.

Standard PC Connections (refer to figure 1)(* = required connection for DEVIS normal
operation —all other connections not marked with ‘*’ are optional)
*MOUSE: Standard PS/2 style mouse
*KEYBOARD: Standard PS/2 style keyboard
USB: Universal Serial Buss (any number of add-in peripherals such as printer, mouse,
keyboard)
*PARALLEL PORT/GPI PORT: Can be standard printer port—for DEVIS, connect 25-Pin GPI
cable (included) for control of external switcher device
COMM 1: Standard RS-232 serial port
COMM 2: Standard RS-232 serial port
GAME PORT: Used for game controllers and some audio devices
*AUDIO LINE OUT: Connect with 3/8” Stereo plug to audio amplifier or switcher for audio
broadcast over cable or broadcast television system. Required if you desire audio on-air
capability.
*AUDIO LINE IN: Use 3/8” stereo plug to connect radio receiver, CD player, tape player, etc…
to line-in to loop through external audio source over the video presentation (Background
Music/Sound). This is the main audio input port for DEVIS operation. This is only required if
you desire audio over your normal PowerPoint™ presentations. Commonly used for simply
playing ambient audio during presentations.
AUDIO MIC IN: Can serve as microphone input or secondary audio source input
*COMPOSITE VIDEO OUTPUT: BNC connector outputting standard NTSC base band
composite video for use with BNC cables. This is main video output to be used in cable and
broadcast video applications.
*MODEM: Connect your telephone line to the modem port labeled “LINE”. This is mandatory
for DTMF dial-up control of the DEVIS. If desired, you can connect a land-line telephone to the
port labeled “PHONE”, which will allow use of the telephone while DEVIS is not being
communicated to—it is also handy to have a phone attached so you can hear the ring, giving you
an indication that someone is dialing into the DEVIS. DEVIS will answer the phone after the
first full ring.

DEVISOM
*VGA PREVIEW: This is DEVIS’ normal VGA-style connector. It is an industry standard
High-Density 15pin connector, used to interface with any computer monitor. Video output of
this connector is not meant for a television, as it is progressive scan component type video (as
opposed to composite video on the BNC connector). This normal video output is referred to as
RGBHV (Red Green Blue Horizontal Vertical (sync pulses)).
*NETWORK: This is a 10/100 Base-T LAN connector. Connect your DEVIS to your network
via this port, to allow for remote control of the device. If you have DEVIS connected this way,
you will need to set your IP addresses in the device. Factory default for the IP Address is:
10.0.0.100, and may be used on many intranet installations.
If you must change the IP address in your DEVIS, contact IT trained personnel. See Appendix A
for further information.
*110VAC – 220VAC: Standard 3-prong ground isolation main power connection. Connect with
provided power cord to single-phase 60Hz/50Hz wall AC outlet. Custom cables for deployed
benches and racks may be manufactured, but must comply with common electrical code for
ground isolation plugs. Contact Civil Engineering or equivalent for special cable manufacture.
Connect this only when you are ready to run the unit, as it is set to “auto-power” (safety against
power outages). As soon as you plug in the AC, the device will power-up, boot-up, and begin to
run the software applications.

DEVIS OPERATION
Should DEVIS be shut down through normal Windows™ means, you’ll need to power the unit
with the front panel momentary power switch. To do so, simply open the front door, press the
power switch and release. You should hear the fans begin to run, and LED indicators on the
front panel should illuminate.
The DEVIS control software will “auto-run” at boot up. After everything is initialized, you
should see the main application form appear on your video monitors.
Out of the box, DEVIS has sample presentations and sample tones installed. These are the file
names listed on the form in figure 2.
Create your presentations as you would normally. PowerPoint™ is loaded on the DEVIS and
may be used as your creation center. Or, you may import presentations to DEVIS. Whichever
method you use, you will need to store them in the DEVISFOL folder so that DEVIS knows
where to get them.
If you are going to import to DEVIS, then you will treat DEVIS as though it were any other
computer on your network. Simply search for DEVIS from the originating PC, map it as any
other computer on the network, and click & drag files as necessary.
