The WS5200 Advanced System Management Software provides
access to all operation and configuration features of the Endura
®
system in a unified, intuitive, graphical user interface. The interface
has been optimized for the demanding needs of surveillance
professionals and utilizes drag-and-drop operations, shortcut
menus, built-in tooltips, and online Help to enable the most direct,
intuitive interactions with cameras and components distributed
across the network.
Video Display Optimized for Surveillance
Surveillance operators require access to real-time live video and
instant access to playback. The WS5200 has been specifically
designed to optimize performance, productivity
, and effectiveness.
Operators can customize up to six active workspaces. Each workspace
can have its own screen configuration populated with any grouping of
cameras. These workspaces allow the operator to rapidly switch from
camera group to camera group. The workspaces and camera
associations are automatically loaded upon login, along with the
user’s language preferences and permission levels. This eliminates
any lost time in changing screen layouts or configurations during shift
changes.
The second generation of the WS5200 has also been designed to
deliver optimum decoding performance to take advantage of the
latest capabilities of analog cameras and advances in compression
technology. The WS5200 supports MPEG-4 as well as all common
profiles of the latest H.264 codec. Provided the host PC has enough
processing power, users can simultaneously decode sixteen 4CIF,
MPEG-4 video streams in real time, or twelve H.264 baseline profile
streams in real time, or two 1080p streams in real time. Of course,
any combination is also supported. Additionally
, more cameras can
be viewed simultaneously using the WS5200’s convenient tear-off
tabs and leveraging multiple monitors to display up to 32 cameras
concurrently. Endura’s patent-pending EnduraView
™
technology will
manage the CPU processing load and network bandwidth
requirements by automatically seeking out and displaying a lower
resolution, secondary stream (if one exists), or reducing the refresh
rate to ensure that system stabilization is not jeopardized.
To take advantage of the latest developments in monitor technology
and camera capabilities, the WS5200 interface automatically detects
the monitor’s native resolution and aspect ratio and configures the
display to accommodate what the monitor can support. Based on the
monitor’s native aspect ratio, the WS5200 supports screen
configurations in single-image, 2 x 2, 3 x 3, 4 x 4, 1 + 5, 1 + 12, and
2 + 8 for 4:3 aspect ratio displays and adds 3 x 2 and 4 x 3 for
16:9 aspect ratio displays. As different cameras operate in different
aspect ratios, the WS5200 will maintain the native aspect ratio of the
camera to minimize any potential distortion of the image. An
innovative Zone of Interest
™
feature makes it convenient to leverage
the power of today’s megapixel cameras to cover a large field of view
while allowing a user to independently select certain areas of the
scene to get a closer view. The WS5200’s zone of interest capability
consumes no additional processing power or network bandwidth as a
user creates up to six independently controlled zones of interest from
a single camera.
Recorded footage can be instantly accessed for any camera without
impacting the maintenace of live surveillance of other cameras on the
same monitor. Flexible synchronous playback allows operators to
synchronize the playback of 16 cameras for investigations that require
multiple vantage points of the same event. Additionally, the WS5200
allows users to review recorded footage from any camera while
simultaneously viewing the live stream from that camera on the same
monitor. Camera controls, PTZ operation, video playback controls,
snapshot capture, and export tools all conveniently appear over the
video when the cursor is placed on the desired camera’s view.
