Problems Exporting to CDs or DVDs

If you select files to export to a CD or DVD through the ExacqVision Client software, but you cannot actually burn the CD or DVD, it is possible that you are using low-quality optical disks. Try replacing the blank optical disk with a new one perhaps from a different manufacturer. Low-quality optical disks are prevalent;… Continue reading Problems Exporting to CDs or DVDs

What type of video does the exacqVision Web Service transmit?

The codec used to transmit video will depending on the plugin used. In many cases the exacqVision Web Service performs transcoding and transmits a compressed JPEG stream of images to the Web Client or Exacq Mobile 3 app. Some plugins are capable of forwarding the H.264 stream without the need to transcode. <br>

Automation Control Circuitry

What is TTL? TTL stands for Transistor-to-Transistor Logic, where the “logic” determines which values are high and low. Standardized common TTL circuits operate with a 5-volt power supply. A TTL signal is defined as low when the voltage is measured between 0.0 V and 0.8 V with respect to the ground terminal, and high when… Continue reading Automation Control Circuitry

RS-422 Advanced PTZ Menu Control

In version 4.1 of the ExacqVision software, advanced RS-422 PTZ controls were implemented for Pelco-D and American Dynamics domes. One of the advanced controls allows the operator to open the dome’s internal menu to display menu choices in an onscreen display (OSD) embedded in the dome’s video stream. A cursor can be moved up and… Continue reading RS-422 Advanced PTZ Menu Control

Connecting an ExacqVision Hybrid System to a Pelco Coaxitron Translator for Analog PTZ Control

ExacqVision Hybrid servers have the ability to integrate with Pelco Coaxitron CXTA 9760 devices. This allows customers with existing Pelco PTZ cameras that are controlled through the coax with the Coaxitron protocol to be controlled using ExacqVision software. The CXTA accepts the Pelco 422 protocol from the ExacqVision server, and it outputs the data over… Continue reading Connecting an ExacqVision Hybrid System to a Pelco Coaxitron Translator for Analog PTZ Control

What is the difference between a Group and a View?

Views and Groups are similar in that both of them are logical groups cameras based on more than just the server they are connected to. The major difference is that a View also defines a layout of the cameras onscreen.  Because it specifies a layout, the maximum number of cameras in a View is limited… Continue reading What is the difference between a Group and a View?

Does the ExacqVision Client Support Multiple Monitors?

Yes, ExacqVision Client supports multiple monitors. We have tested up to four VGA monitors from a single workstation. Typically, a user will run one instance of the ExacqVision Client per monitor. Because decompressing video is CPU-intensive, we recommend one core per Client for the best user experience. To drive up to four VGA monitors, we… Continue reading Does the ExacqVision Client Support Multiple Monitors?
