Enabling DirectDraw Video Hardware Acceleration

If your computer’s video hardware supports Microsoft

DirectDraw

extensions, you can enable DirectDraw to enhance video performance. Enabling DirectDraw improves performance by delegating graphics acceleration duties to your PC’s video hardware instead of your computer’s main processor.

WARNING: Do not enable DirectDraw on the PC Client application unless you are certain that your hardware supports DirectDraw hard-

ware acceleration. Check the documentation that came with your PC and your graphics card before enabling DirectDraw. Although some VGA cards support DirectDraw, not all are compatible with the DX8000 PC Client application. Check the Pelco Web site for a complete list of compatible VGA cards.

To enable DirectDraw hardware acceleration, go to View > DirectX Draw.

The DX8000 auxiliary feature allows you to control external equipment connected to the auxiliary outputs of Spectra domes or Esprit positioning systems. The auxiliary function is implemented through the D Protocol and P Protocol. In this case, the attached camera and DX8000 must be conﬁgured to communicate using one of these protocols.

The Aux key selects the auxiliary mode. Buttons 1- 4 select which of the camera’s auxiliary outputs to operate. Buttons 1–4 operate as a toggle (on/off) each time they are clicked.

For example, an Esprit equipped with a wiper uses Aux 1 to control the wiper. In this case, pressing Aux+1 sends a command to the Esprit to operate the wiper. You must conﬁgure the camera to establish how the camera responds to an auxiliary command. For detailed information about how a speciﬁc Spectra or Exprit camera system interprets auxiliary commands, refer to the documentation that accompanies your Spectra or Esprit camera system.

To send an auxiliary command:

1. Click to enter the programming mode.

2. Select the camera in the DX8000 view panel to which you want to send the auxiliary command.

3. Click the Aux button.

INSTANT REPLAY

The DX8000’s ability to perform instant playback of video is limited by a two-minute delay in disk recording. The DX8000 has a built-in latency of approximately one minute between the time that video is captured and when it is written to disk. This delay exists to ensure that video is accurately stored and that the DVR’s database is updated correctly.

VIEWING VIDEO IN THE DEINTERLACED MODE

Images recorded at 4CIF at a low frame rate per second might move or tear. In this case, you can use the View menu’s Deinterlaced Image option to enhance the displayed image. In the deinterlaced mode, the DX8000 converts the recorded image and displays it at 2CIF resolution. The process removes one of the 4CIF interlaced ﬁelds (even or odd) from the 4CIF recorded image to arrive at 2CIF resolution for the displayed image. The original image is retained at the recorded 4CIF resolution.

For exported images, the DX8000 provides a global option for enabling a deinterlacing ﬁlter. In this case, the selected channel’s image is exported at 2CIF resolution. This setting is effective for all channels and cannot be set for individual channels. For more information about enabling the deinterfacing ﬁlter, refer to Enabling the Deinterlacing Filter

SELECTING THE EXPORT FORMAT

To select the export format, select the radio button of the ﬁle format you want to export. The available formats are listed in Table C.

NOTES:

• When exporting video in the native format, the DX8000 embeds a digital watermark in the video stream for the purpose of

authentication. Watermarking ensures that an image has not been edited or damaged after it has been recorded. The watermark is an encrypted, digital signature embedded in the video stream during the compression stage, protecting the video from the moment of creation. The DX8000 Viewer software is capable of reading a DX8000 watermark and verifying the originality of the video.

• Video exported in AVI or ASF format can be viewed using standard viewer software such as Windows Media Player. When exporting

video in the native format to a CD or DVD device, the DX8000 will automatically include the DX8000 Viewer application along with the video. This viewer is designed to play a variety of still image, video, and audio media formats, including the native DX8000 format. The DX8000 Viewer application will automatically run each time a CD or DVD created by the DX8000’s export feature is inserted into a Windows-based PC. To ensure that the viewer software runs automatically after the disk has been inserted, verify that the autorun feature of your PC’s optical drive has not been disabled.

Saves a still image ﬁle in standard Windows bitmap format. Only the ﬁrst frame of the video sequence is saved.

Saves a single compressed image ﬁle. Only the ﬁrst frame of the video sequence is saved.

Saves a single uncompressed image ﬁle in Tagged Image File Format. Only the ﬁrst frame of the video sequence is saved. Saved images contain a digital watermark to secure against unauthorized alteration.

EXPORTING A SEQUENCE OF STILL IMAGES

To export a sequence of still images:

1. Select a still image format. Options are BMP, JPEG, and TIF.

2. Select the number of images (1 to 999) you want to save in the sequence.

3. Select the time interval between each saved image in the sequence. Options are

• Continuous

• 0.5 seconds

• 1 second

• 2 second

• 3 second

• 4 seconds

• 5 seconds



Figure 118. Still Image Export Formats

NOTE: Still image formats export the ﬁrst frame of a bookmarked region and then a single frame for each time interval until the number of

images speciﬁed has been exported. For example, consider exporting a six-hour bookmarked region of video with an image count of 100 and a time interval of 3 seconds. The resulting export will include the ﬁrst frame of the bookmarked region followed by 99 additional images taken at 3-second intervals. The ﬁrst exported image will be the ﬁrst frame of the bookmarked region and the last image will be the frame taken at 300 seconds into the bookmarked region.

FINALIZING AN EXPORT PROCESS

To ﬁnalize the export process:

1. Make sure that the export media selected is inserted in the drive unit and that the drive is ready.

2. Select the check mark of each time range you want to export.

3. Select the Audio Record check box if you want to include recorded audio.

NOTE: Audio export is available only with DX8000 Native, AVI, and ASF video formats.

4. Select the Real Time check box to export video using standard clock time.

NOTES:

• Real Time setting only applies to DX8000 Native, AVI, and ASF video formats.

• When the Real Time check box is selected, the DX8000 will export video so it can be played back in real time (30 fps) for the same

length of time as the original recording. For example, if video was recorded at 1 fps, this means the DX8000 will insert 29 null frames for every 1 frame of actual video. Thus, one minute of video recorded at 1 fps (60 frames total) will play back for one minute at 30 frames per second (60 frames of actual video interspersed with 1,740 null frames). If the Real Time check box is not selected, one minute of video recorded at 1 fps will play back in two seconds in real time. Figure 119 illustrates the two video streams: one padded with null frames to match the actual time duration and another stream without null frames.

STOPPING AN EXPORT WHILE IN PROCESS

When an export operation has begun, a user can easily stop it by interrupting or canceling the operation from the Export menu on the main or search screens. Interrupting an export simply stops the progress of the export while keeping all video information stored up to that point intact. Canceling an export will delete any video data exported during the operation as well as ending the export itself.

To halt an export that is in process while retaining video data stored to that point, go to Export > Interrupt Export.

To halt an export that is in process and delete any video data stored to that point, go to Export > Cancel Export.
