3 Checking for Video

Audience

After installers have field-tested connections (see 2.9 on p. 2–16), the next steps involve working with Multi software from a PC. Your organization’s Multi SA needs to establish that video can be obtaind on a PC. The road map for using Multi software... outlines the work.

!31 Road map for using Multi software to obtain video

1.Locate a PC on which Admin and View have been installed. See 3.1: Multi Software.

2.Use Admin software to:

•create and log on to an empty Multi central database

•name the Rapid Eye site being tested

•add connection information about the Rapid Eye site.

3.Use View software to:

•log on to the Multi central database

•run a “Maintenance” session for the Rapid Eye site, to check the type of camera(s) that were auto-detected by the Multi-Media unit

•run a “Live” session to obtain video.

Why check a connection?

It is useful to establish that the hardware and software installations are in good working order before securing the system (with passwords, user profiles and so on) and establishing a user base (by creating user accounts).

3.1Multi Software

When you run a Multi CD-ROM, the software detects if any Microsoft patches need to be added to your Windows system. All of these patches are available on Microsoft’s web site. For specifics, please consult the Operator Software Setup Instructions for Rapid Eye Multi-Media units, part K5401.

Fig. 22. In organizations where security is a high priority, Admin is not installed on all PCs. The PCs of View operators do not need Admin.
