DESCRIPTION

The DX9200 system consists of at least one digital video recorder (DVR), one viewstation, and one storage unit.

The DX9200 digital video recorder can record images simultaneously from as many as 48 cameras at 15 images per second
(ips) or from as many as 40 cameras at 30 ips. The DX9200 digital video recorder is compatible with DX9200HDDI storage
units.

Thousands of cameras can be recorded and viewed at the same time when multiple DX9200 recorders and DX9100
viewstations are linked to each other through a local area network (LAN) or wide area network (WAN).

The DX9100VS 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 by using the motion detection feature.

• 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.

IMPORTANT NOTE. PLEASE READ. The network implementations in this document are shown as general representations
only and are not intended to show detailed network topologies. Your actual network will differ, requiring changes or perhaps
additional network equipment to accomodate the systems as illustrated. Please contact your local Pelco Representative to
discuss your specific requirements.

INSTALLATION GUIDELINES

Follow these guidelines for the best system performance.

• The DX9200 recorders require connection to an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to ensure no corruption of data during
a power loss.

• The DX9200 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 DX9200 video must be capable of moving multicast traffic.

• Pelco recommends that the DX9200 recorder be installed in a ventilated rack enclosure.

• When securing the recorder to the rack enclosure, do not lift the recorder by the handles only.

• Make sure the rack enclosure is properly grounded.

• Pelco recommends that a spare phone line be installed and connected to a primary DX9100 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 protected by a password to prevent unauthorized access.

Lack of adherence to these guidelines gives Pelco discretion in honoring product warranty.

ADVANCED FEATURES

I/O INTERFACE

The DX9200 system can interface with the CM6800, CM9740, or CM9760 matrix switchers. It can integrate with the CM9760-DT,
CM9760-ALM, and CM9760-REL.

• CM9760-DT data translator translates the ASCII protocol to the P protocol of the CM9740/CM9760 matrix switchers.

• Connect up to four CM9760-ALM alarm units to each DX9200 recorder.

• Connect up to four CM9760-REL relay units to each DX9200 recorder.

I/O HANDLER

This application allows the installer to identify one additional external device—the CM9760 data translator, the CM9760-ALM
alarm unit, or the CM9760-REL relay unit—to be connected to the COM port on the recorder. Each of the external devices can
be shared across multiple recorders, but when programming to external devices, the programming only needs to be done on
the recorder which is physically attached to the device.

I/O MANAGER

This application is used in conjunction with the I/O Handler to interface to:

• the CM9760-ALM

• the CM9760-REL

• the CM9760-DT

Since these devices can be shared across multiple recorders across the network, the installer can identify alarm inputs 1-16 for
recorder #1, alarm inputs 17-32 for recorder #2, and so on.

68 C634M-D (12/04)

CONNECTING AN ALARM UNIT

You can connect a maximum of four alarm units to a recorder.

To connect a CM9760-ALM to a DX9200 recorder using RS-232 communication:

1. Connect a null modem cable from the alarm unit’s RS-232 port to the recorder’s COM 1 or COM 2 port.

DVR MANAGEMENT

PRINTER

COM 1

COM 2

If the DX9200 DVR system is connected to a matrix switcher, the operation of the system can be managed with the Server Alert
Configuration Utility. If recorders are not recording or there is no communication with recorders, this utility sends alarms to the
matrix switcher.

If the DX9200 system is connected to a Pelco matrix switcher, such as the CM9740 or CM9760, alarms are sent through a data
translator. For non-Pelco matrix switchers, alarms are sent through a relay unit.

NOTE: Refer to the

Server State

section for more information on the Server State application.

DATA TRANSLATOR CONNECTIONS

The CM9760-DT should be used with Pelco matrix switchers, such as the CM9740 or CM9760.

1. Connect a null modem cable from the CM9760-DT’s COM A port to the COM 1 or COM 2 port on the viewstation.

2. Connect a null modem cable from the CM9760-DT’s COM B port to the COM 1 or COM 2 port on the CM9760-CC1.

3. Set the jumpers in the data translator for baud rate and parity. Refer to the CM9760-DT Installation/Operation manual.

NOTE: You can also connect the CM9760-DT to one of the CM9760-CC1 SERCOM ports for RS-422 communication.
