Video Quality

FRAME RATE NOTICE REGARDING USER-SELECTED OPTIONS
Pelco systems are capable of providing high quality video for both live viewing and playback. However, the systems can be used in lower quality modes, which can degrade picture quality, to allow for a slower rate of data transfer and to reduce the amount of video data stored. The picture quality can be degraded by either lowering the resolution, reducing the picture rate, or both. A picture degraded by having a reduced resolution may result in an image that is less clear or even indiscernible. A picture degraded by reducing the picture rate has fewer frames per second, which can result in images that appear to jump or move more quickly than normal during playback. Lower frame rates may result in a key event not being recorded by the system.
Judgment as to the suitability of the products for users’ purposes is solely the users’ responsibility. Users shall determine the suitability of the products for their own intended application, picture rate and picture quality. In the event users intend to use the video for evidentiary purposes in a judicial proceeding or otherwise, users should consult with their attorney regarding any particular requirements for such use.

Description

The DX8100 Series is a professional security-level hybrid video recorder (HVR) based on a new and innovative hardware platform that is powered by unparalleled and unique high-performance software. As the security requirements of your business expand into multiple sites and become more diversified, you need a professional HVR that you can quickly and effortlessly increase the channel and recording capacity.
The DX8100 HVR is interoperable with your existing DX8000 DVRs, allowing you to build upon your existing security system. A DX8100 client can operate and administer up to 200 servers (DX8100 HVR, DX8100 DVR, and DX8000 DVR) within the same network.
When you need to quickly and easily add more security cameras, the new DX8100-EXP 16-channel expansion unit extends the 8- or 16-channel DX8100 to 24 or 32 channels. With or without the channel expansion unit, all of the cameras can now take advantage of the increased frame rates of 2CIF and 4CIF recording. The DX8100 records video up to 480 images per second (ips) at a maximum CIF image size. If your security project requirements increase storage capacity, you can extend internal storage up to 6 TB. Using an external JBOD (just a bunch of disks) device, you can add up to 6 TB, further increasing the DX8100 storage capacity up to 12 TB. Additionally, you can use the DX8100HDDI as a redundant RAID 5 solution.
With the addition of a second monitor connected to the Dual Display Card, you can simultaneously view up to 72 cameras, allowing you to monitor live or playback video on as many as six displays.
As your audio security needs grow, use the DX8108-AUD or DX8116-AUD audio option to add a total of 8 or 16 audio inputs.
Sophisticated video security applications require a network of HVRs to monitor multiple locations. The 10/100/1000 megabit Ethernet port supports today’s high-speed networks. You can network your DX8100 and DX8000 systems and remotely operate the HVRs and DVRs for continuous, motion detection, alarm, ATM/POS, normal scheduled recording, and administer and view live and playback video. For time­critical security applications, you must ensure that all video recordings are synchronized to an accurate time source. The DX8100 supports the network time protocol (NTP), which allows you to synchronize all networked DX8100s to one NTP time server. Using expanded ATM/ POS connectivity, you can connect up to 16 ATM/POS devices to the DX8100. System health check monitoring provides current operational status of the unit, ensuring maximum system uptime for critical video security needs.

WHAT IS AN HVR?

An HVR is a video recording and playback device that incorporates all of the essential capabilities of a VCR but adds significant advantages. Like a VCR, video is recorded (from one or more analog or IP cameras) and stored for later playback and retrieval; however, in an HVR, video data is recorded and stored on a hard disk instead of magnetic tape. Storing video in this manner facilitates instant, random access to data, as opposed to sequential access inherent to tape-based recording. This means no fast-forwarding or rewinding is necessary to locate the data a user wants to view or export.
Another key advantage of hard disk is decreased maintenance. With no need to replace tapes, HVRs with hard disks can be left unattended for extended periods of time. Since video remains in the digital domain, data is easy to store, transport, and manipulate. Unlike analog video recordings, digital data does not suffer from a loss in quality when copied or moved from device to device.
Because HVRs rely on hard disks instead of tape, data storage is virtually unlimited. Video data can also take advantage of compression technology to increase the efficiency of storage media. Modern HVRs, such as the DX8100, allow users to record, play back, and view live video simultaneously. Keeping data in a digital format means video can be easily backed up to a variety of storage media. This also means that alphanumeric information, such as date, time, and transaction statistics, can be synchronously recorded with video.

ó Connect a second monitor (VGA shown, but not supplied).
NOTE: The second monitor must be connected to the Dual Display Card before you start the DX8100. The DX8100 HVR is shipped from the factory with the Windows desktop enabled so it can be extended to the second monitor. If the DX8100 is running before the second monitor is connected, the second monitor is not detected when the unit starts, the desktop is not extended to the second monitor, and video is only displayed on the primary monitor. If this occurs, you must manually configure Windows to display video on the extended
monitor. For information about connecting and configuring the second monitor, refer to Appendix C: Connecting the Dual Display Card on
page 58. After Windows recognizes the extended monitor for the first time, if the extended monitor is connected to the unit when the DX8100 restarts, the extended monitor configuration is maintained and you do not have to reconfigure Windows again.
r Connect the cameras to the BNC connectors. Refer to Table B for video coaxial cable requirements. Connect power to the cameras.

The DX8100 Series HVR supports remote viewing and administration in client-server and peer-to-peer configurations. The DX8100 is compatible with the TCP/IP protocol and Fast Ethernet (1000Base-T) network connection. Consult your network administrator before installing the DX8100 to avoid possible network conflicts.
For TCP/IP access, connect the DX8100 to a 100 Mbps or 1 Gigabit, switched Ethernet network. Use standard Cat5 or better UTP cable with RJ-45 connectors.
To configure the DX8100 hardware for network access:
1. Connect one end of the UTP cable to the network port on the back panel of the DX8100 as shown in Figure 10.
2. Connect the other end of the UTP cable to an available port on a standard Fast Ethernet switch.

The DX8100 Series HVR features four RS-422/ RJ-45 communication ports. All ports are compatible with both RS-422 and RS-485 interface standards. Each port can communicate with and control a variety of ATM/POS, PTZ, third-party dome devices, and Pelco’s Spectra® III dome enclosures and Esprit® positioning systems.
The example configuration illustrated in Figure 11 shows a DX8100 connected directly to up to four PTZ devices and indirectly to up to 16 devices through Pelco’s CM9760-CDU-T code distribution unit. Figure 12 illustrates the connection of a variety of RS-422/RS-485 compatible devices including the DX8100. This example highlights the P and D protocol data merging capability of Pelco’s CM9760-DMR data manager.
To operate properly, devices must be compatible with either the RS-422 or RS-485 interface standards and must be able to communicate using Pelco’s P, D, or Coaxitron® protocols, or third-party dome protocols.
1. Using unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable, connect up to four RS-422/RS-485 compatible devices to the RJ-45 connector jacks provided on the rear panel of the unit.
You should use 22 or 24 gauge UTP cable. Category 5 UTP is recommended for cable runs greater than 400 feet.
2. Set the communication parameters for both the DX8100 and the PTZ device. Communication parameters are baud rate, parity (odd or even), number of parity bits, number of data bits, and number of stop bits.
Refer to RS-422/RS-485 Communication Port Software Configuration on page 39 for instructions on setting up your HVR’s communication
parameters. Refer to the documentation included with your PTZ device for instructions on configuring its communication settings.
