AUDIO SETUP

The DX8100 supports two audio configurations: standard audio and optional expanded audio. Both of these configurations allow you to configure individual camera channels to listen to and record live audio. You can monitor live audio at a local server or listen to live audio from a remote DX8100 server or client system. You can play back audio recorded by a camera channel.

•Standard audio input: The DX8100 provides two standard audio inputs: Line In (stereo), Mic In (mono), and one audio output. The standard audio inputs are available by default if the optional audio option card is not installed. If the optional audio card is installed, the standard audio inputs are disabled.

The standard audio connections are described as follows:

–Line In (stereo): A 2-channel stereo input (left and right channel) allows you to connect up to two external audio sources. You can assign a specific camera to record video in association with each audio channel. For example, you can assign camera 2 to the left audio channel and camera 32 to the right audio channel.

–Mic In: Accepts one audio input. You can assign one camera to record video in association with the audio input.

–Audio output: Allows you to connect an audio output device, such as an amplifier, to listen to recorded video and audio simultaneously.

•Optional expanded audio input: To use the DX8100 expanded audio feature, the optional DX8100-AUD audio card must be installed. You can determine if the audio card is installed by checking the Audio option status in the Channel Information section of the Camera page. The Audio status is one of the following:

–Not installed: If the optional audio card is not installed, the Advanced button in the Audio Settings area is available.

–Installed (enabled): If the optional audio card is installed, the Advanced button in the Audio Settings area is not available.

The DX8100 compresses audio data to save space. In this case, recorded audio that may not be of the same quality as live audio. Consult your Pelco sales representative for more information regarding the DX8100-AUD option.
