Operating The Viewer; Using The Optional Keyboards - Dedicated Micros DV-IP Series Quick Start Manual

Quick Start Guide
Virtual Keyboard
If numeric or text data requires entry when viewing menus on a local monitor,
an on-screen virtual keyboard (the Arrow Key Editor) will be displayed. Use the
Directional buttons on the IR Remote Control to move between characters. Use the
OK button to select a character. To enter details and then exit the Virtual Keyboard,
select the OK option. Select Submit to enter details and return to the Virtual
Keyboard. Select Cancel to exit the Virtual Keyboard without entering any text.

Operating The Viewer

Select the 'Go To Viewer' option to open the Viewer menus.
Navigation is via a colour coded softkey
system. The coloured menu provides
an intuitive approach to operator and
installer use. The coloured buttons on
the IR Remote Control correspond to
the menu options displayed on screen.
The function of the buttons will change
according to whether the unit is in Live
or Playback mode.
Video Timeline
The Video Timeline allows intuitive, rapid navigation within recorded video. To aid
navigation, the timeline can be set to display periods ranging from 15 seconds to
four weeks. The timeline can be clicked anywhere in the scale to instantly play
recorded images from that point.

Connecting Storage Devices
Images are recorded to the internal hard disk for instant playback and searching by
the operator. The capacity of the internal disk effects the amount of images and time
period that can be recorded.
The internal hard disk is a temporary storage device as images are overwritten after
a set period.
If images need to be held for a longer time period, external storage is required. The
SATA ports on the rear of the unit are used to connect to external storage devices.
The unit can support multiple external hard disks. To maintain an effective SATA link,
