Configure Macros
Two macros must be configured for each monitor that requests playback video.
Use the Pelco management software to create two macros for each monitor, starting at 100. For
example:
100 MID 20, 1
101 MID 20, 2
102 MID 21, 1
103 MID 21, 2
To assign monitor bank numbers for video playback, a BASE number is required. This BASE
number is used by the xvcr.xml file in the ISP. The following formula is used to allocate macro
numbers:
Macro = BASE + 2*Mon
For example, using 60 as the BASE number:
60 + 2*20 = 100, making 100 the first macro number:
100 MID 20, 1
101 MID 20, 2
For monitor 27:
60 + 2*27 = 114, making 114 the macro number:
114 MID 27, 1
115 MID 27, 2
The xvcr.xml file must be updated with the matching BASE number. This file is located on the ISP
in the /usr/config/running folder. The following example shows a portion of the xvcr.xml file that
focuses on the Pelco keyboard definition:
<Keyboard>
<Model>Pelco</Model>
<KeyboardPort>2</KeyboardPort>
