CHAPTER 1

Introduction

Digital video recorder for security applications

The Divar is a video recording system that can record multiple camera signals
while simultaneously providing live multiscreen viewing and playback. It
combines the functionality of a digital recorder with a multiplexer and a
switcher.

The unit has comprehensive search and playback facilities for viewing stored
video. Once set up, all recording takes place in the background without
requiring operator intervention. Maximum recording rates of 60 (NTSC) and
50 (PAL) images per second in total are guaranteed with unsynchronized
cameras. The recording rate and quality are selectable per camera.

All models have extensive alarm handling functions and telemetry control. Alarm
functions include motion detection in user-definable areas of the image on any
camera input.

The unit can be easily operated and programmed via the front panel control keys
and on-screen display menu system. One monitor output provides full-screen,
quad and multiscreen viewing; another spot/alarm monitoring. A keyboard can
be connected for PTZ control and to improve the ease-of-use.

Via a network, the Control Center PC-application can be used for live viewing,
playback and configuration. The Divar includes an authenticity check for both
local and remote playback. A dedicated PC player is provided for playback of
secure video files.

The PC-based Configuration Tool facilitates the setup of the unit.

Introduction

1-2 Philips Communication, Security & Imaging

Triggers and alarms

Various types of events can change the way the unit works. These events can be:

• An alarm input signal applied to the unit.

• Motion detection in a camera signal.

• A loss of video from one of the cameras.

• An internal alert from the unit itself.

The way the unit reacts to events depends on how it has been programmed.

An event can cause either a trigger or an alarm. A trigger can change the way the
unit works but does not require a response from the user. An alarm can also
change the way the unit works but, in addition, it usually activates several
indicators and requires that the user acknowledges the alarm situation.

The unit can react to an event in any one of the following ways:

Alarms

• A beeper sounds

• A status message is displayed

• An alarm icon is displayed.

• The border around a cameo can change color

• An alarm indicator , , or flashes

• The indicator flashes

• An output relay is activated

Alarms and Triggers

• The view modes on the monitors change

• A controllable camera is moved to a pre-defined position.

• Recording speed changes

• The unit changes the way it operates via pre-defined profiles.

Background events

Triggers and alarms can change background tasks that you, as user, may not even
notice. Unit responses that are not visible to the user are, for example, a change
in recording speed, the activation of the output relay and event logging. A trigger
may change the way the camera images are displayed on the monitors without
requiring your intervention.

CHAPTER 4

Hardware setup

This chapter contains detailed information about the connection of external
equipment to the unit. The connector types and their pin signals are described.
All the connectors are located at the rear panel of the unit.

Hardware setup

4-2 Philips Communication, Security & Imaging

Rack mounting

The Divar can be mounted in a 19-inch rack. A rack mounting kit is supplied
with the unit that includes:

• left and right rack mount ears

• four Torx screws with integrated lock washers.

•a Torx screwdriver

Mounting

1.

Remove the four Torx screws (two on each side) located near the front panel on
the right and left side of the housing.

2.

Attach the mounting ears to each side ensuring that the lip is under the unit. Use
the four Torx screws with lock washers and tighten securely.

3.

Install the unit into the rack using the rack manufacturer’s supplied hardware.

When installing the assembly into the rack, be careful not to restrict airflow
around the vent holes located in the side panels or to exceed the recommended
operating temperature.

Camera connections

Connect cameras to the unit using 75-ohm video coaxial cables with BNC
connectors. There are two BNC connectors for each camera. Either connector
can receive a camera's signal. This signal is looped-through (directly connected)
to the other connector, so that you can send the camera's signal to other
equipment. The camera input connectors are auto-terminating, so you do not
need to add a terminator to the output connector if no additional equipment is
connected.

If the camera signal is looped-through to additional equipment, make sure that
the end of the video line is terminated with a 75-ohm termination.

The Divar automatically configures itself as a PAL or NTSC unit. The unit
determines the standard by detecting the signal format of the first connected
camera (lowest camera input number).

Specification

Input signal: Composite video 1Vpp, 75 Ohm

Color standard: PAL/NTSC, auto-detect.

Gain control: Automatic or manual gain control for each video input.

Connector type: BNC looped-through, automatic termination.

Monitor connections

Connect the unit to the monitors using 75-ohm video coaxial cables with BNC
connectors. The unit provides a 1Vpp CVBS signal.

If the monitor has a loop-through connection and you are not using the loop­through output, then select the 75-ohm impedance setting on the monitor. If the
monitor's loop-through output is connected to an additional device, the device's
termination is set to 75 ohms and the monitor's termination is set to high
impedance. (Note that this is not necessary on devices with automatic
termination.)

CHAPTER 5

Menu system

You access all the parameters used to set up the unit via the menu system. The
large number of parameters available gives you the opportunity to program an
extensive functionality.

There are two ways of accessing the menu system, via the keys on the front of the
unit itself or via the PC-based Configuration Tool application. Using the keys on
the unit has the advantage of not requiring a PC and is the recommended
method if you are using the unit in a stand-alone configuration. If you do have a
PC connected to the unit or the unit is used in a network environment, then the
Configuration Tool offers a more convenient way of accessing and using the
menu.

In both cases the parameters available are the same. Slight differences in
navigation and selection are only due to the differences between the keys on the
unit and the keyboard and mouse interface of the PC. The menu structure is the
same in both cases.

This chapter explains how to use the keys on the unit to access the menus. It also
documents the full structure of the menu system. To find out how to use the PC­based Configuration Tool refer to Chapter 6.

Menu system

5-2 Philips Communication, Security & Imaging

Overview of the menu system

The main menu consists of six menu groups:

History.

The

Histor y

menu allows you to trace all events that have occurred on

the unit.

Disk manager.

The

Disk Manager

menu provides information and functions
that relate to the maintenance of the storage system including internal and
external hard disks.

Time/Date.

The

Time/Date

menu is used to set the actual reference time and

date for the unit and the format that is used to display them.

View settings.

The

View Settings

menu is used to program how the individual

cameras are displayed on the monitors.

System settings.

The

System Settings

menu is where most of the static

parameters for the unit are set.

Profiles.

The

Profiles

menu is used to set up and store the dynamic

characteristics of the unit.

Setting the dynamic characteristics

The settings in the

Profiles

menu provide the opportunity to tap the powerful
functionality of the unit. By spending some time in planning and setting up the
six profiles available, you can provide efficient use of resources while maintaining
effective cover for most types of working situations.

Profiles are usually based on a calendar, switching on and off at a particular date
or time (for example, weekends or night). Profiles can also be switched by an
input signal based on an external switch or armed alarm system.

A profile determines how a unit behaves when that profile is active. Unit
behavior includes how events are handled. It also defines recording rates both
under normal conditions and in response to input and motion events.

Unit behavior can be set up differently for each of the six profiles. Profiles can be
named and copied to facilitate their setup and management.

Accessing the menu from the unit

To open the menu:

CHAPTER 6

Using the Configuration
Tool

The Configuration Tool is a software application that makes the installation and
configuration of a unit faster and easier. The Configuration Tool runs on a PC
that is connected to the Divar either directly via an RS232 serial connection or
via an Ethernet network connection.

Although all settings can also be configured with the on-screen display menu of
the Divar itself, the Configuration Tool offers a very user-friendly alternative. It
also allows configuration settings to be saved on the PC hard disk. These can be
restored later and used to configure other units.

Using the Configuration Tool

Menu structure differences

The Configuration Tool allows you to access and use menu items of the unit.
These menu items are explained in Chapter 5. Although the items are the same,
the menu structure is slightly different in the Configuration Tool:

• The History menu item is removed from the menu tree structure and is now

accessed via the Event log button.

• The Disk manager submenu is replaced by the Storage setup item of the

menu tree structure in the Configuration Tool.

As a result of the windows interface, selection and editing of some functions with
the Configuration Tool is different to the methods used on the unit itself. For
example, scroll bars are used instead of the arrow keys, the motion area selection
interface is simpler, and the Calendar edit item of the Profiles menu uses a color
code to add profiles to the calendar. The Configuration Tool interface, although
different, is intuitive and does not change the functionality of the menu items.

Using the Configuration Tool
