USING THE FLTIME UTILITY
FLTime allows you to synchronize the Windows clock on your DS components. You can run FLTime on DS Enterprise VAUs to synchronize them to the DMS, or you can run it on a DS server to synchronize it with a computer running a Windows operating system. To synchronize a computer, complete the following steps:
1.Run FLTime from the Start menu.
2.Enter the IP address of the DMS or other computer with which you are synchronizing.
3.Adjust the slider bar to determine how often the component will synchronize with the target computer.
4.Click Save.
5.Click View Scheduled Tasks to verify that the synchronization is properly scheduled.
You can force a synchronization at any time by clicking Force Time Sync. You can also delete a time sync schedule by clicking Delete Time Sync Task.
The Last Time Sync field displays the results of the most recent time synchronization, and the bottom field displays a log file containing additional information about the most recent synchronization. To ensure that you are viewing the most recent information, use the “Click to Reload” button.
The bottom of the FLTime window shows the current time of the component in both
USING XPRESS WINVIEW
XPress WinView (XPressWV) application is a Windows application capable of displaying video from the camera inputs of up to four XPress video capture cards in a single DS component. XPressWV can also display video from up to 32 cameras connected to XMUX2 units.
RUNNING WINVIEW
When you open XPressWV, the application automatically detects all the XPress boards (up to four) in the computer. Data and video from the first detected board is then displayed in the main XPressWV window. You can switch among the XPress boards using buttons
STATUS BAR
The status bar at the bottom of the main window contains the following information for the currently selected XPress board:
•Board number
•Board type (XPress Lite, XPress Plus, or XPress Pro)
•XMUX2 type (16 or 32 inputs), if connected to the XPress board
•Number of camera inputs (4, 8, 16, or 32)
VIDEO OPTIONS
The toolbar at the top of the window allows you to do the following:
•Select different XPress boards to view video from
•Choose the video standard (NTSC or PAL)
•Select the type of frames you want to see: either Normal (color) or B/W (black and white) or Force (all frames regardless of color or quality; this can be used with cameras that do not conform to composite video standards)
SWITCHED OUTPUTS
XPressWV allows you to control two of the switched outputs (Aux1 and Aux2) on connected XMUX2 units. The buttons on the right side of the screen allow you to select a camera input for display on external monitors connected to the two switched outputs. You can also click Tour to cycle through all available inputs. The tour continues for the selected XMUX2 unit, even if a different board is selected on the main window. Click Tour again, at any time, to end the tour.
