Pelco dx8100 manual Setting Up Manual Camera Mapping, Creating Monitor Sequence Instances

Setting Up Manual Camera Mapping

Manual camera mapping allows a user to customize the capture card analog output. Individual cameras can be assigned to view panels in any combination. Each customized screen can be added to a sequence list and assigned a specific amount of dwell time. These combinations of customized screens and corresponding dwell times make up sequence instances: multiple sequence instances can be combined into a sequence list. The resulting list will sequentially display each instance on an external monitor in a continuous loop. The sequence will continue uninterrupted until an alarm or motion event overrides the cycle.

The following information should be noted when using the manual camera mapping feature:

•Eight-channel HVRs offer only the 1 x 1, 2 x 2, and 3 x 3 view panel options.

•If you select more than one screen division, each camera channel will cycle through each screen before the next panel division is presented.

This section describes how to set up manual camera mapping and includes the following topics:

•Creating Monitor Sequence Instances

•Loading an Existing Sequence List on page 231

•Modifying a Sequence Instance in the List on page 232
