Configure Basler BIP2 input/output pins
Basler BIP2 pins are bidirectional; they can be designated as inputs or outputs. Before adding
Basler BIP2 cameras in Omnicast, you must define the pins as inputs or outputs in the unit’s
Web page.
1
Open the unit's Web page.
2
Click
Configuration > Camera Configuration > Input/Output
.
3
Click the
Digital I/O
tab, and then click the
I/O 0
(pin 0) tab.
4
From the
Direction
drop-down list, select
Input
or
Output
, depending on how you want
the pin to be configured.
EXAMPLE
If you want to receive hardware motion detection events in Omnicast you must
select
Output
for all the pins.
5
for each available pin.
NOTE
Basler BIP2 units only support one input.
6
To apply your settings, close the
Input/Output
section of the unit's Web page.
After you are done:
If the unit was already part of your Omnicast system, restart the unit to
apply your changes.
Configure Basler BIP2-640c-dn units
For Basler BIP2-640c-dn units to work at a high frame rate, additional configuration steps are
required in Omnicast.
To configure H.264 streams at 100 fps:
1
The camera must be configured for a sensor frame rate of 100 fps.
2
Stream0 of the camera must be configured for MJPEG, and a frame rate scaling of 1/8
(meaning Stream0 would yield only 12.5 fps).
3
Stream1 must be configured for H.264.
4
Stream2 must be switched off (the user cannot use MPEG4 simultaneously).
Depending on the complexity and the amount of movement in the scene, the frame rate may
drop from 100 to 95. This happens particularly if the camera's text overlays are activated.
To configure MJPEG streams at 60 fps:
1
The camera must be configured for a sensor frame rate of 60 fps.
2
Stream0 of the camera must be configured for MJPEG.
3
Stream1 and Stream2 must be switched off (the user cannot use H.264 or MPEG4 simulta-
neously).
