CONFIGURE DECODER-MONITOR SETTINGS

Click the Decoder-Monitor Settings tab to open the Decoder-Monitor settings page. Use this page to identify the analog connection between each Endura decoding device and the matrix system.

About the Decoding Device

The term Decoder-Monitor refers specifically to the video output connector on the Endura decoding device (such as a NET5301R decoder). Within the Endura system, the decoding device is called a Monitor and it is identified by its UDN number.

In addition, the decoding device must meet the following criteria:

•The NET5301R decoder must be at software version level 1.04.0032 or later (the Mark Event functionality does not work when using a decoder with an earlier software version level).

•Do not use a VCD5001 video console display as a decoding device; it is not compatible with the EDI5000.

•The decoder must be used only with the EDI5000 data interface. When adding the decoder to the Endura system, configure the decoder so that it cannot be switched through the Endura system (refer to the Endura system documentation for instructions on device permissions).

Add a Decoder Monitor to the EDI5000 Configuration

Use the Create New Decoder Monitor Entry settings to add a decoding device entry to the EDI5000 configuration.

NOTE: If you are viewing configuration entry information for a decoding device that is already in the EDI5000 configuration (as shown in Figure 30 on page 29), click Add New Decoder Monitor to view the Create New Decoder Monitor Entry settings.

Figure 29. Adding a Decoder-Monitor Entry to the EDI5000 Configuration

1.Click the Decoder-Monitor Friendly Name box to see a list of available decoding devices in the Endura system (refer to Figure 29 on page 28).

2.Click a compatible decoder-monitor device. The Monitor UDN box is updated with the device UDN information.

NOTE: The devices displayed in the Decoder-Monitor Friendly Name box may include one or more Endura VCD devices, but the VCD is not currently compatible with the EDI5000; do not click a VCD device.

3.In the Matrix Camera Number box, type the number of the matrix system video input that is used for the analog connection between the decoding device and the matrix. This value must be a valid matrix system camera (between 1 and 99999).

4.Click Create Decoder Monitor. Remember that the entry is not saved to the data interface configuration until you restart the application, as described in Configure the Data Interface Settings on page 22.
