3.4 INWINPTZ SERVER

The InWinPTZ Server works in conjunction with a PC
video capture card to display an Allegiant monitor
output in a window on the PC's monitor. If the camera
providing the video signal to the monitor output has
pan/tilt/zoom capabilities, the InWinPTZ Server will
allow the user to control that camera using the PC's
mouse within the video window.

3.4.1 Requirements, Installation, and Capabilities
The InWinPTZ Server can only be used on a PC that
®
has an Integral FlashBus
installed. For availability and your nearest distributor,
contact Integral Technologies Inc. at 317-845-9242.
Integral's World Wide Web address is
www.integraltech.com.
After an Integral video card has been installed, a video
coax cable must be connected from the card's BNC
video connector to a monitor output on an Allegiant
System. When this is done and the InWinPTZ Server
is started, the video signal provided by the Allegiant's
monitor output is digitized by the Integral video card
and displayed in a window on the PC's monitor.

3.4.2 Launching the InWinPTZ Server
Assume that the GUI Map application has been
started with a user logged on with Installer privileges,
that the Map contains an Allegiant server (an Allegiant
icon seedbar is visible), and that a monitor icon has
been seeded into the current map page. Also assume
that the monitor icon has been linked (connected) to
the Allegiant monitor output that is connected (by a
video coax) to the Integral video card.
The InWinPTZ Server can be activated by the
following:
1. Performing a right-mouse-click on a monitor icon
in the GUI — this displays the monitor icon's
context menu.
2. Select Icon Properties from the monitor icon's
context menu — this invokes a tabbed dialog box of
the icon's properties (also known as the icon's
property pages) entitled Monitor Control
Properties.
3. Select the Device tab — this displays several
checkboxes. Select the checkbox with the caption
PTZ video window and then click the OK button.
4. The Monitor Control Properties dialog will
disappear and the InWinPTZ Server should appear
(a window displaying live video).
Once the InWinPTZ Server has been activated, the
monitor icon's context (right click) menu will have a
new entry: Display Video Window. This will
redisplay the InWinPTZ application if it has been
closed.
Please note that at most, two monitors can have their
PTZ video window options selected (assuming that 2
Integral cards have been installed). If a user tries to
select this option in another monitor's Device
property page, a warning message will be displayed.
NOTE: The sequence above mentions nothing about
the Allegiant Server being online. The InWinPTZ
Server can be launched when the Allegiant Server is
off-line. The catch is that the InWinPTZ Server will
not allow the user to control any PTZ cameras until
the Allegiant Server is online.
