Viewing and Controlling Video

NOTE: In the following procedures the “Select Play” or “Select Pause” step can be accomplished either by moving the joystick or by pressing the keyboard icon.

Identify the CM9700MDD-EVS Unit

If your system includes more than one CM9700MDD-EVS unit, any unit can display video on the monitor when you select video from an Endura camera. To determine the CM9700MDD-EVS currently in use, press the ID icon on DVR Menu 3. The CM9700MDD-EVS unit’s Friendly Name appears on the monitor, and the first LED on the CM9700MDD-EVS unit (the Unit Status Indicator LED) blinks momentarily.

PTZ Control

If the camera displayed on the monitor includes PTZ functions, you may be able to use the CM9760-KBD joystick and keys to control the PTZ functions, depending on how the video connections are wired.

Digital Signal Connections

When video from an Endura system camera is connected to an Endura system encoder and then routed to the matrix switcher as a digital signal through the CM9700MDD-EVS, you can control the camera’s PTZ functions from either the matrix system (using the CM9760-KBD keyboard) or the Endura system (using the KBD5000 keyboard). Refer to the appropriate keyboard manual for instructions.

Analog Signal Connections

In some systems, an optional analog video signal may be routed from an Endura system camera (connected to an Endura system encoder) to the matrix switcher. In this scenario, PTZ control depends on the method used, as follows:

Method 1: If the matrix system includes an optional CM9760-CXT or CM9760-CXTA Coaxitron® translator, you can control the camera’s PTZ functions from either the matrix system (using the CM9760-KBD keyboard) or the Endura system (using either the KBD5000 keyboard or the WS5050). Refer to the appropriate keyboard manual for instructions.

Method 2: If the analog video is routed to the matrix system through a CM9760-MDA unit, then the connection is based on P protocol, RS-422 wiring. With this method, PTZ control is available only from the matrix system keyboard (not from the Endura system); refer to the CM9760-KBD Keyboard Installation/Operation manual for instructions.
