SETTING UP A RS-232 ATM/POS DEVICE CONFIGURATION

This section describes how to set up a RS-232 ATM/POS device configuration. You use the RS-232 ATM/POS device configuration to record searchable ATM/POS data that is synchronized with recorded video. In this configuration, the camera is connected directly to the DX8100 camera input. The ATM/POS data is routed through the VSI-PRO to the DX8100 RS-232 communications port. ATM/POS output is recorded by the DX8100 as data. Once recorded, the ATM/POS data is searchable and can be displayed synchronously with the recorded transaction video.

Figure 104 illustrates a RS-232 ATM/POS device configuration. One or two ATM/POS devices can be connected to the DX8100. One camera is shown, but multiple cameras can be assigned to monitor the ATM/POS event from different physical positions. For specific details about the DX8100 back panel, refer to Figure 11 on page 23.
