VideoBlox Configuration Program
(VideoCFG)
All VideoBloX matrix switchers re-supplied
with the VideoBloX Configuration Program.
This is the software tool that enables the
installer/operator to customise VideoBloX
to meet the user's requirements. System
operators using the program will soon realise
the full capability and flexibility of VideoBloX.
With VideoBloX, everything is configurable.
Functions are logically divided onto separate
tabs of the configuration program.
Device Control Configuration
(DeviceConfig)
VideoBloX provides the capability to control
other manufacturers' equipment. The
program, DeviceConfig, allows the user
to configure the keyboard to display device
specific commands and to transmit these
commands to the controlled devices. This
is true customer defined integration! Simply
fill in the strings and VideoBloX takes care
of the rest.
VideoBloX Graphical User Interface
Allows for rapid camera selection from maps
of areas. Also allows for control of PTZ and
CCTV peripherals. Alert operators instantly
to alarms and displays alarm location.
VideoBloX VCR Monitoring
and Control Program
Monitors and controls VCRs in large systems.
Should an active VCR be stopped by the
system, such as for tape review purposes,
the associated camera view will be
automatically re-routed to a standby VCR.
Re-routing allows for a short overlap in the
recording of the view on the primary and
standby VCRs. Should a VCR exit record
mode without being instructed to do so by
the system, this will be automatically detected
and re-routed to a standby VCR with a record
loss in the order of one second.
The VCR GUI displays instantly which VCRs
are not recording. A log screen and
associated database track where camera
views are re-routed.
VideoBloX Network Server Interface
Program
Allows for the above suite of programs to be
operated from multiple points across a LAN
or WAN. Allows for simultaneous system
configuration while multiple users are actively
using VideoGUI.
