The group prefix is a user-definable expression (for example, myhostname), however, it is required. This allows administrators to assign different user groups and, thus, variable user rights to multiple simultaneously installed LDAP clients of the same system design (e.g. Dallmeier cameras described here). The available group suffixes are fixed expressions:...

The newly assigned network settings can be determined by the MAC address of the de- vice using the IP-Finder or on the DHCP server. The IP-Finder must be executed in the same LAN in which the device is located.

Open the Security dialogue via Network > Security ..Fig. 7-2 Activate the Force encrypted credentials checkbox if required. Confirm with oK. Dallmeier Video Protocol www.dallmeier.com...
The (static) video server exclusively transports the IP packets via UDP (User Datagram Protocol) Note that • UDP allows for a smooth and fast data transmission with relatively low delays. • packet losses (lack of images) may occur during the transmission. www.dallmeier.com...
The data packets are provided with the specified destination IP address and port number and transferred to exactly one receiver (client) in the network via a point-to-point connec- tion. The receiver will only receive the data packets if the appropriate application service is available at the specified port number. www.dallmeier.com...
Dynamic Servers A dynamic server is created whenever a UDP or TCP data transmission is actively re- quested, for example, via the ActiveX-based Dallmeier control, the DaVid Protocol, the Real Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP) or via SMAVIA Viewing Client. The Dynamic servers tab provides information on the currently created dynamic servers.
RTP/RTSP/TCP packets from the internet to the local area network. • With RTSP the transmission of RTP streams can be embedded in the existing RTSP/ TCP connection; a separate UDP transmission or an additional port for the RTP data stream is not necessary. www.dallmeier.com...

(amount of images saved). A large RTSP buffer is only recommended in case of short-term network overloads. In case of a permanent network overload, a smaller buffer as well as lower bit rates are recommended for the individual encoder settings. www.dallmeier.com...

For more information about the WDR mode, see section “WDR Mode” on page 41. Only use the AE Preset “Fluorescent” for indoor scenes when using fluorescent lamps. When capturing outdoor scenes in conjunction with the AE Preset “Fluorescent”, this may result in excessive overexposure. www.dallmeier.com...

(spectral characteristics) of the fluorescent light source changes within each AC power cycle (each zero crossing of the alternating voltage) which results in brightness variations (illumination level changes). Frequency mismatch normally does not occur when the PAL standard (25/50 fps) is used in conjunction with 50 Hz AC power. www.dallmeier.com...

The slow shutter limit thereby defines the maximum allowable automatic exposure time (electronic shutter speed). As soon as the set shutter limit is reached, the automatic exposure (AE) is exclusively controlled by the automatic gain control (AGC). www.dallmeier.com...
Page 41
When selecting the AE Preset “Fluorescent”, the Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) mode is automatically disabled. A manual reactivation of the WDR mode in conjunction with the AE Preset “Fluorescent” is not recommended. For more information on the AE Preset “Fluorescent”, see section “Preset” on page 38. www.dallmeier.com...
By clicking the oK button, the selected colour temperature value is applied. By clicking the Get parameters button, the white balance value is automatically recal- culated using the colour information from the entire scene, or rather reset to the prevail- ing colour temperature in the scene. www.dallmeier.com...
With this exposure metering option, the centre image section is prioritized over the outer image areas. This setting is recommended in case the relevant image details are primarily located in the centre of the image rather than the outside margins of the image. www.dallmeier.com...

“OK”. The defined image area remains saved in the camera as long as you do not click into an unmasked image area within the corresponding zone. Thus, you can always activate or deactivate the masking for an already defined image area. www.dallmeier.com...
Note that the produced camera images can be recorded in “Motion” recording mode (im- age comparison) by Dallmeier recorders of the DMS and VNB series (as of version 7.1.1). Encoder 1 is used for this purpose and has to be set for H.264 encoding.
Page 47
On the one hand, variable bit rates allow for a higher image quality while simultaneously enabling a better use of both: the available hard disk storage space and transmission capacities. On the other hand, a constant bit rate allows for a more precise calculation of the required storage capacity. www.dallmeier.com...
Page 49
Note: In order to achieve ideal image quality when recording the analogue video signal, the resolutions SXGA− or 4CIF are recommended for Encoder 1. The resolution 720p for Encoder 1 is not recommended when recording the analogue video signal. www.dallmeier.com...

“Tri-Streaming” functionality (three streams with different quality). If more than one application is requesting encoder data, the network load and, hence, the required bandwith increase proportionally. In this case multicast configuration should be preferred since it only requires bandwidth for one stream. www.dallmeier.com...
Due to the high resolution of the HD camera, flickering effects (aliasing) on sharp edges and fine textures may appear when displaying the analogue live video on older CRT (cathode ray tube) monitors that are equipped with interlaced technology. This effect is minimized for the recording and playback on a Dallmeier system. www.dallmeier.com...
