DVR modelling types
Three types of DVR can be modelled depending on the type of video viewer.
Namely:

Windows application viewer: the video viewer is an installable Windows applica-
tion.

Web-based viewer type 1: the DVR provides a web server with a single URL
and camera selection parameters.

Web-based viewer type 2: the DVR provides a web server with multiple ad-
dresses corresponding with camera pages.

DVR parameter files
Each valid DVR model comprises two files with the same name:

The XML file described below (.XML)

A standard icon file (.ICO, including sizes 16x16, 32x32 and 48x48 pixels)
All valid GENERIC DVR files that exist in the folder will be available as GENERIC
DVR model in the Composer configuration environment (refer to the DMS8000
Connectivity Guides Video, doc.no. A6V10062457).
Tip: in defining a new model, start from en existing profile and modify it as necessary.
The generic DVR integration is based on the following approach:

The controlled activation (with parameters) of the 3
MM8000 environment. The viewer can be:
– A Windows application (EXE file) providing the display functions. The techni-
cal requirements that this application must match are detailed in chapter 3 at
p.16.
– A web page (or pages) providing the display functions.
The viewer characteristics must be defined in the XML definition file (see 2.4
below).

The OPC DA data exchange of diagnostic reporting and control commands.
The 3r party DVR operates as OPC DA server. Data points representing the di-
agnostic information must be defined in the XML definition file (see 2.4 below).
The OPC connectivity to data points must be defined using the standard
MM8000 OPC client configuration.
The XML file defining the DVR model contains the following information:
