SDVR Board – Exacq

(NOTE: This article applies to hybrid ExacqVision systems with Stretch boards, manufactured from June 2012 to September 2013 as described in TAB 2013-01. If you need to replace the SATA power cable to an optical drive and hard drive please visit Article 2320.)

To replace a SATA power cable to a Stretch (sDVR) board in an ExacqVision system, complete the following steps:

1. Shut down the system through the operating system (instead of using the power switch), and then remove the system power cable from the power supply on the back panel.

2. Remove the system lid.

3. Locate the sDVR board. The board could be installed vertically or horizontally, and there could be one or two of these boards.

4. Remove the SATA power cable from each sDVR board. The following images show the location of the sDVR boards (both vertical and horizontal) and the cables that need to be removed.

Vertical sDVR Board

Horizontal sDVR Board

5. Trace the SATA power cable back to the 4-pin Molex connector.

6. Disconnect the the 4-pin Molex connector.

7. Remove the faulty SATA power cable and set it aside.

8. Connect the new SATA power cable at the 4-pin Molex connector side first. The following image shows a faulty cable (left) and a replacement cable (right).

9. Connect the new SATA power cable at the power side to each SDVR board.

10. Replace and secure the system lid.

11. Plug the system power cable back into system’s power supply and turn the system on.

Beginning 12/14/2021 extension of the SSA “Software Subscription Agreement” will be restricted on systems which have an eDVR capture board. In addition, starting with exacqVision Server version 22.06 the XDVPI plugin has been removed and systems where the plugin is present will be blocked from upgrading. In order to either extend the SSA or update to 22.06 or higher the board and the XDVPI plugin must be removed.
Beginning 06/14/2021 extension of the SSA “Software Subscription Agreement” will be restricted on systems using the Dahua DHVECxxxx capture board. The board must be removed in order to extend the SSA.

Note: If your exacqVision Utilities DVD is labeled with a software version 5.6.1.43456 or later, use the following procedure. If your DVD is labeled with an earlier version, skip ahead to the second procedure.

Determine which capture card is installed

Linux

Enter the following in Terminal: lspci|grep 18a2
The output might look similar to this:

05:00.0 Multimedia controller: Device 18a2:0026 (rev 01)

The portion after “Device” identifies the capture card. Write down this device code and proceed to Step B.
If you see no results, enter the following in Terminal: lspci|grep TriMedia
The output might appear similar to this:

Multimedia controller: Philips Semiconductors TriMedia TM-1300 (rev83)

This is an eDVR card. Write down this information and proceed to Step B.
If you still see no results and you are sure this is a hybrid system, please contact technical support.

Windows

Open Device Manager. If the capture card driver is not installed, the card appears in the device list as Multimedia Controller under Other Devices.
Right-click the Multimedia Controller entry and select Properties.
On the Details tab, select Hardware IDs from the Property drop-down list.
If the device is an exacqVision capture card, the returned Value should appear similar to the following:PCI\VEN_18A2&DEV_0026&SUBSYS_000018A2&REV_01

The device code for the card in the example above is 18a2:0026, based on the numbers and letters immediate after VEN_ and DEV_. Write down your specific device code and proceed to Step B.
If the card is an eDVR card, the returned Value should appear similar to this:

PCI\VEN_1131&DEV_5402&CC_0480
This is an eDVR card. Write down this information and proceed to Step B.
If you do not see a Value similar to the ones listed above, and you are sure this is a hybrid system, try to find another Multimedia Controller in Device Manager or contact technical support.
