Intellex RMS Digital Video Management System
7
NOTE: NOTE: Do not mix port expanders between different Intellex units. Each
expander will create a new set of RS-232 ports on the Intellex.
Text Setup
Select
Text
in the
Intellex Setup
screen. Select
Add
to configure a text stream. Enter a
name for the text stream and the RS-232 port parameters of the text source. Click on the
Camera Associations
tab to select the cameras to be associated with the text stream.
Text will be recorded only when one of the associated cameras is scheduled for recording.
Text will not record if the camera is not active.
Text Playback
Text is displayed during playback of recorded video. Live monitoring of text is not sup-
ported. It is possible to select a text stream that is not associated with the camera being
played. Use the selector box below the text window to select a different text stream for
playback with the current camera. The selector box next to it will show the camera asso-
ciated with the selected text stream, NOT the camera being played.
Export to CD–R Considerations
Writing video data to a CD-R is not always 100% successful. The Intellex software pro-
vided with this system and the CD-RW drive both employ special techniques to reduce
the possibility of buffer underruns and to provide reliable CD writing. Errors can still
occur, however, which can make the CD unreadable.
Please observe the following to protect the integrity of your data:
•
Use high quality CD-R media. The CD-R media must be certified for writing at
the speed for which the drive is rated, or faster. For example, if the CD-RW drive
is rated for 16X, be sure to use ONLY recordable media that is labeled 16X or
greater — do NOT use media certified for a slower speed drive. The CD-RW
drive's speed rating is shown on the inside of the Intellex unit's front panel cover.
Protect the media from dirt and damage before and after writing.
•
Minimize any other functions on your unit while writing to the CD. For example,
simultaneously performing searches and playback on the unit while writing to a
CD can increase the probability of an error.
•
Verify the integrity of the data as soon as possible after writing. Some media
errors cannot be detected during writing but can still result in unreadable data.
Play the recorded disk in a standard PC to verify the data before that data is
overwritten on the Intellex unit.
•
Canceling an export while writing to the CD will make the entire CD unreadable.
Do not cancel writing if you are adding a new clip to a previously recorded CD.
