DESCRIPTION
The DX9000 system consists of at least one digital video recorder (DVR), one viewstation, and one storage unit.
The DX9000 digital video recorder can record images simultaneously from as many as 40 cameras at 15 images per second
(ips) or from as many as 24 cameras at 30 ips. There are two types of recorders. One is compatible with DX9000HDDS storage
units and one is compatible with DX9200HDDI storage units.
Thousands of cameras can be recorded and viewed at the same time when multiple DX9000 recorders and viewstations are
linked to each other through a local area network (LAN) or wide area network (WAN).
The DX9000VS-C viewstation has these features:
•Simultaneous viewing of live or recorded video can be seen from as many as four cameras.
•Live video can be marked for later review by the user or via motion detection.
•Scan feature allows the user to search recorded video for movement of a specific object.
•Video files can be saved in MPEG format to a compact disk, hard drive, or anywhere on the network.
•A current video frame can be printed on a standard PC printer.

INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
You must adhere to the following guidelines for optimum system performance.
•The DX9000 recorders and storage units require connection to an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) to ensure no
corruption of data during a power loss.
•The DX9000 system must be installed in a climate-controlled room. The temperature range should be 41˚ to 85˚F (5˚ to
29˚C).
•All network devices that will transport DX9000 video must be capable of moving multicast traffic.
•Pelco recommends that the DX9000 recorder and storage units be installed in a ventilated rack enclosure. Never secure
the recorder or storage units to the rack enclosure using only the front handles.
•Make sure the rack enclosure is properly grounded.
•Pelco recommends that a spare phone line be installed and connected to a primary DX9000 viewstation to allow the
Pelco Technical Support Group to dial into the site upon customer request. Pelco personnel will not make changes unless
authorized by the customer. This phone line can be password protected to prevent unauthorized access.
Lack of adherence to these guidelines gives Pelco discretion in honoring product warranty.
C662M-E (5/03)11
MOUNTING
The recorder and viewstation are supplied with the necessary parts for mounting into an industry standard 19-inch (48.26 cm)
wide equipment rack. The recorder should be connected to an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) capable of supplying 2 A for
120 VAC power systems or 1 A for 230 VAC power systems.
The units can be placed on a flat surface, such as a shelf, or can be installed in a 19-inch wide equipment rack.
NOTE: Allow one rack unit (1.75 inches or 4.5 cm) of space between each unit for air circulation.
To install the units in an equipment rack:
1.Attach the two rack ears to both sides of each unit.
2.Attach the two brackets to both sides of each unit.
3.Attach the mounting rails to the equipment rack.
4.Place the units onto the mounting rails. They should slide in and out of the rack easily.
5.Fasten the rack ears to the equipment rack.
6.Attach the patch panel to the rear of the rack.
The following illustration shows how to mount a recorder or a viewstation into a rack.
CAUTION: The units should be installed in an air-conditioned room where the temperature is maintained between
41° and 86°F (5° and 29°C).

ADVANCED PROGRAMMING
I/O INTEGRATION
The DX9000 system can interface to the CM9760 matrix. It can integrate with the CM9760-DT, CM9760-ALM, and CM9760-REL.
You can configure the I/O (input/output) integration feature to send and receive events to the external devices.
The CM9760-DT data translator translates the ASCII protocol to the P protocol of the CM9760 matrix switch.
The CM9760-ALM alarm unit is an input device with 64 ports. You can connect up to four alarm units to each DX9000 recorder.
The CM9760-REL relay unit is an output device with 64 ports. You can connect up to four relay units to each DX9000 recorder.
SENDING EVENTS
The DX9000 sends events to the relay unit and the data translator. The data translator then sends the events to the CM9760
matrix. The events sent are internal events only, such as VMD, Manual, Signal On, and Signal Off.
RECEIVING EVENTS
The DX9000 receives events from the alarm unit. The events are divided into two groups.
Group 1
These are events that are not generated by the system, such as Set Event and Reset Event. These events are generated by
devices such as the alarm unit and have no special meaning for the system. They are translated to either External 1 or External
2 by the I/O Manager before they are recorded in the database and transmitted to the viewstation.
Group 2
These are events that are generated by the system, such as Video Motion Detection Event, Signal Detection Event, No Signal
Detection Event, and Manual Event. These events have a specific meaning in the system. They are not translated. They reach
the viewstation and are recorded in the database.
NOTE: If the DX9000 receives an unrecognized event, the event is ignored. Events External 1 and External 2 are not valid input
events and can be generated only by the I/O Manager in response to events in Group 1.
I/O CONFIGURATION APPLICATIONS
Each DX9000 recorder has two I/O configuration applications: I/O Handler and I/O Manager.
I/O Handler Configuration
This application allows you to configure the device that the recorder will work with. The I/O Handler can work with a maximum
of two devices at the same time. Each device has its own configuration.
I/O Manager Configuration
This application is the interface between the recorder and the I/O Handler on the same system or over the network. It can work
with several recorders with two devices on each recorder. Each channel has the ability to receive up to two external events at
the same time from two different inputs. Each of the events is marked with a different color. The device is marked as External 1
and External 2 based on the configuration. Each channel can send an event to a single output.
C662M-E (5/03)57
HARDWARE CONNECTIONS
The I/O configuration allows creating several different connections between the recorder and the external devices.
