Chapter One: System Overview Chapter One CHAPTER ONE System Overview 1. INTRODUCTION The Pelco CM9760-GUI Graphics Controller is a new development in CCTV user interfaces. The Graphic Controller replaces a mimic panel with a windows based graphics system run on a PC. The Graphic Controller contains maps that are used as backgrounds for installation/sites. Multiple maps can be used to represent divided or multistory complexes. Buttons are programmed onto these maps.

Chapter Two: Installation Chapter Two CHAPTER TWO Software and Hardware Installation 2. INTRODUCTION The Graphics Controller software runs under Microsoft Windows Version 3.1 or above and requires an IBM compatible PC. Refer to System Requirements in Section 2.3 for full details on hardware and software requirements to run the CM9760-GUI Graphic Controller program. 2.1 HARDWARE INSTALLATION 2.1.1 PC The Graphic Controller software runs on an IBM compatible PC.

NOTE: A level converter can be used to connect a PC to an RS422 Sercom port on the rear of the 9760-CC1. 2.1.2 SVGA PC Monitor The default setting for monitors when using the Graphic Controller program is 800 x 600 resolution with 16 colors. If a Video Blaster card is installed in the PC, a screen resolution of 800 x 600 is the highest recommended.
Chapter Two: Installation Figure 2-3: Connecting a Video Blaster Card. 2.2 SOFTWARE INSTALLATION 2.2.1 Loading Software All data on the Graphic Controller program disc should be stored in a directory on the hard drive, C:\Gcon is suggested. All maps and associated files must be stored in the same directory as the Graphic Controller program. 2.2.2 Installing Software 1. Install Windows and DOS software onto the computer and ensure both are operating correctly.
9760-Graphic User Interface Manual NOTE: The company logo should be sized to match the size of the default logo.bmp. The Graphic Controller program is ready to be customized. Refer to Chapter 3 for full details. NOTE: The Graphic Controller program can also be started using Windows File Manager (Run). Select GCON.EXE in the directory where all Graphic Controller files are stored. 2.3 SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS IBM compatible PC Motherboard: Minimum 386DX- 40 MHz. Memory: 4 Mb RAM (8 Mb RAM recommended).
Chapter Three: Maps and Administrator Features Chapter Three CHAPTER THREE Maps and Administrator Features 3. INTRODUCTION This chapter details how to customize the Graphic Controller program to suit an installation. The commands and windows detailed in this chapter can only be accessed by operators with Administrator authority (refer to Administrator Log On). Normal operation of the Graphic Controller program is detailed in Chapter 4. 3.
9760-Graphic User Interface Manual NOTE: A PIN must be allocated to the Administrator for system features to be accessible (refer to Work Station Set Up). ⇒ (a) Ensure the box next to Design in the Enter PIN window is not selected (i.e., no checkmark appears in the box). If a checkmark appears in the box, place the mouse cursor over the Design box and press the left hand mouse button once — the checkmark will disappear. ⇒ (b) Enter the Administrator password (default password is PACOM), then press Enter.
Chapter Three: Maps and Administrator Features 3.3 INSTALLATION MAPS Maps are drawn for each location/site where a Graphic Controller program is installed. These maps are designed to accurately represent the physical installation. 3.3.1 Creating Maps Any draw/paint package that can export bitmap (.BMP) files can be used to create an installation map (e.g., Paint Brush which is supplied with Windows). Some drawing packages provide more features and therefore are better than others.
9760-Graphic User Interface Manual ⇒ 75 DPI. This is the maximum resolution possible with a Video Blaster card. If a Video Blaster card is not connected, higher resolutions can be selected. ⇒ Pixels = 640 x 531. If windows are required to remain open (e.g., Video window), the size of the map can be reduced so windows can be placed in the vacant space around the map. The reduction in size will depend on user requirements.
Chapter Three: Maps and Administrator Features 3. Ensure the correct drive is selected in the Drives box. 4.

Appendix One: GUI Introduction Appendix One 1. APPENDIX ONE 1.1 BASIC INTRODUCTION FOR OPERATORS The Pelco CM9760-GUI (known as a “goo-ey”) has been designed to help make supervising a site quick, easy, and efficient. This is done by means of a computer screen that has a picture (or map) of the site to be supervised. Linked into the picture are a number of “hotspots”.
9760-Graphic User Interface Manual 1.2.1 Administrator Main Functions The Administrator’s main functions are to make sure: ⇒ The maps are drawn to accurately represent the area/s to be supervised (this can be done by a computer-whiz and then loaded in) ⇒ That operators have access to the functions they will require (usually the Program and Screen menus) while being restricted from others ⇒ The “Area” and “Camera/Macro” and “Alarm” buttons (or “hotspots”) are configured correctly. 1.2.
