DVMRe matrix assures seamless switching

March 2003 Surveillance

Kalatel's new DVMRe matrix offers all the features of its Triplex digital video multiplexer/recorder and a 16 x 5 crosspoint matrix switcher. It provides integrated camera synchronisation to assure seamless switching during the vertical blanking process. Any of up to 16 camera inputs can be selected and switched to any or all of five available monitors. Up to 1 terabyte of images are archived on the system's hard disks.

"Without disturbing recording, live and recorded images can be viewed simultaneously on separate monitors or combined onto one monitor," explains Darren Nicholson, vice president marketing, GE Interlogix, Kalatel Division. "Sequencing can continue on up to four monitors while the administrator implements set-up changes in the menu."

Additionally, its Ethernet interface allows authorised users to pan-tilt-zoom any camera on the network from their PC or laptop. The DVMRe Matrix also offers dual digital monitor outputs, data search functions and sophisticated motion search and motion detection capabilities.

It provides a synchronised alarm system that routes an alarmed camera and associated cameras to designated spot monitors. In addition, the system also searches for movement in a target grid of recorded images over a specified period of time. The search then returns all hits of recorded movement in the target grid.

Directly at the unit, a disk analysis screen provides colour-coded bars indicating per-camera info of events, alarms, activities and video loss. Users can zoom into a selected area to expand the time window under investigation.
