Overview

DVA 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 DVA XPress Plus. Any combination of color or monochrome cameras can be configured. DVA XPress Plus supports both NTSC and PAL standards.

High-Quality Wavelet Video Compression
DVA 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
DVA 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. DVA 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
DVA 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
DVA 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 DVA XPress family is fully compatible with the latest generation of Pentium II computers.

Cost Effective
DVA XPress Plus turns your computer into a powerful CCTV surveillance system or digital time-lapse recorder for an exceptionally low cost. DVA XPress Plus protects the investment of existing surveillance systems by using most of their components, including cameras, monitors and cables.
