Overview
The XPress Plus is a low-cost, PCI-bus,
video capture and compression engine that combines the capabilities
of fast video switching, digital video recording and viewing
of video from up to eight cameras simultaneously. Video can be
switched, controlled, digitized, stored, recorded and played
back in a variety of flexible options.
8 Camera Inputs
Up to eight cameras can be configured and switched with the XPress
Plus. Any combination of color or monochrome cameras can be configured.
The XPress Plus supports both NTSC and PAL standards.
High-Quality Wavelet Video Compression
The XPress Plus utilizes wavelet video compression, which offers
improved quality at high compression rates.
Video Display Options
Video can be displayed full-screen on an analog video monitor
and in a resizable video window on your VGA monitor.
Video Output
Video can be displayed on a separate monitor or recorded to a
VCR.
Programmable Control
The XPress Plus provides programmable control to trigger video surveillance
on alarm or event, to initiate a preprogrammed video sequence
or to control manual video observation. The XPress Plus can be programmed
to prioritize critical viewing areas.
Activity Detection
Activity detection prioritizes and controls the rate of camera
sequence recording, viewing and digital capture of important
camera scenes -- an invaluable capability -- by responding to
movement.
Alarm Triggers
Up to eight input triggers provide alarm or event verification
for each camera assigned to a trigger. Triggers can be activated
by a variety of input devices including sensors, motion detectors,
proximity switches and contact closures. Triggers can be configured
to control the preferred video display option, digitally capture
and save the video image, and activate external events. An output
trigger provides activation of audio or visual alarms or time
lapse recording.
Capturing, Storing and Printing Images
The XPress Plus is also a full-featured PCI frame grabber. Full color
or monochrome video images can be digitally captured and saved
in your PC in a variety of file formats including BMP, TIFF,
JPEG and more. Images can be copied into MS Windows applications,
included in reports, and printed.
Extensive Software Support
The XPress Plus comes complete with full support for Windows 95,
98, NT4.0, 2000 and XP. The included XVCR software application (pictured)
allows for full control of capture, compression and playback
of all eight video inputs. An optional Software Developers Kit
offers developers and integrators the flexibility to develop
custom applications.
Full Compatibility
The XPress family is fully compatible with the latest generation
of Pentium II computers.
Cost Effective
The XPress Plus turns your computer into a powerful CCTV surveillance
system or digital time-lapse recorder for an exceptionally low
cost. The XPress Plus protects the investment of existing surveillance
systems by using most of their components, including cameras,
monitors and cables. |
