VMX300-E MODELS
VMX300-E provides control and monitoring of CCTV equipment in the following configurations: client-to-server; multiple clients-to-server; client-to-multiple servers; or server-to-server. A VMX300-E workstation can be a client/server workstation (VMX300-E-CSVR) or a client workstation (VMX300-E-CL).
VMX300-E-CSVR workstations include both the client and server software applications. The model comes standard with licensing for the server and client and up to 10 cameras. Licenses for up to 2,000 cameras can be purchased as needed.
VMX300-E-CL workstations include the client software application and the licensing (10 per client) required for the client workstation to connect to the server. Up to 50 additional client workstations can be connected to the VMX300-E server. Note that each client added to the system decreases the potential number of cameras (by ten) that you can add to the system.
NOTE: If your system requires only one client, the client and server applications can both run on the same workstation. To optimize system performance in a multiple-client system, each client application should run from a dedicated client workstation. Additional servers in the same system should be run from dedicated server workstations as well.

*The VMX300-E software allows you to view both analog and digital video display windows simultaneously on the same system monitor, as follows:
Analog windows: The analog video display window described in the -1 and -4 models typically allows operators to view video from a camera, matrix switcher, or other analog video source connected directly to the VMX300-E rear panel. The -0 models can receive analog video inputs only through PelcoNet video encoders and Pelco DX8000 and DX9000 Series DVRs, using a network connection.
Digital windows: The number of digital video display windows that can be displayed at one time is limited by the size and type of images selected for viewing. Refer to Table B in the VMX300(-E) Software Guide for an overview of the CPU workload and bandwidth amounts used for each type of video stream (the video in a custom window).
VMX300-E Software Licenses
The VMX300-E can support a maximum of 2,000 licenses. Licenses can be used for cameras (one each), KBD300A keyboards (five each), and clients (ten each; supplied with client workstation).
