PLAYBACK VIEWER

DESCRIPTION

The DX2000 Playback Viewer is an executable software program that lets you view both snapshots (single images) and video recorded from the DX2000 Digital Video Recorder (DVR) without being connected to the DVR.

For example, the DX2000 DVR operator could save the recorded video of a break-in to his PC’s hard disk. That file, plus the Playback Viewer software file, plus the viewer manual in PDF file format could all be sent to the police department, where officers could view the break-in video without needing to be connected to a DX2000.

(Refer to the Recording a Snapshot on the PC’s Hard Drive, Recording Live Video on the PC’s Hard Drive, and Saving Recorded Video on the PC’s Hard Drive sections for information on saving a snapshot or video to the PC’s hard disk.)

CAUTION: Do not run the Playback Viewer program during a live connection to the DVR. You should use the viewer only while off-line.

COPYING THE PLAYBACK VIEWER SOFTWARE

The Pelco-created Playback Viewer program is contained in a file called DX2000_VIEWER.exe that is on the CD that came with the DX2000. To put this file on your PC:

1.Insert the CD in your CD drive. In Windows Explorer, double-click your CD drive icon.

2.Locate the file (DX2000_VIEWER.exe) on the CD.

3.Click and drag the file to a location of your choosing on your PC, such as the desktop.

PC SETTINGS

If you do not already have these settings on your PC, change the display resolution to 1024 x 768, the color to 24 or 32 bit, and fonts to small. Change these by clicking the right mouse button on the desktop, and then navigating through Properties, the Settings tab, Advanced button, and General tab.

STARTING THE PLAYBACK VIEWER

On your PC, double-click the Playback Viewer file DX2000_VIEWER.exe in Windows Explorer, or use a desktop shortcut if you set one up. The Playback Viewer opens. The program displays a white viewing area plus the tool and open folder icons.

(You will need to use the tool icon to select a location for saving and loading files.)
