7 2 General Notes 2.1 Appropriate Use The new HD-ready SMAVIA Viewing Client software provides you with a functional control tool for one ore more Dallmeier devices. SMAVIA Viewing Client provides many useful features and functions for video image display in the user area as well as for the administration. All the digital devices important user options can be accessed via LAN / WAN. Live picture transmission, backup, virtual tours or synchronisation are just some of the functions which make it easy to monitor with SMAVIA Viewing Client software. It is possible to trigger message display in the SMAVIA Viewing Client window through PGuard advance (central evaluation and management software for messages), The search and filter criteria set up on the device can be called up and used through SMAVIA Viewing Client. Userfriendly functions ensure convenient operation. A variety of different picture compression processes and transmission codings (H.264, MPEG-4, H.261, Wavelet, MPEG-2 and JPEG) for live and archived pictures can be decoded. It also guarantees compatibility to all the rest of the Dallmeier product range. Within the Dallmeier video management system (SMAVIA Viewing Client, PGuard advance) SMAVIA Viewing Client takes the important role of a central managing element. SMAVIA Viewing Client can be installed on standard PCs (minimum: dual-core CPU; for system requirements see Data Sheet for SMAVIA Viewing Client at or on Dallmeier workstations. 2.2 Performance Features SMAVIA Viewing Client is characterized by the following functions and features: Access to SMAVIA Recording Server via Ethernet (LAN/WAN) Split definition function for Panomera supported Corridor mode function for Panomera supported Zoom with overview function for Panomera supported Split change function supported Parallel GPU decoding supported Performance monitor function supported SmartFinder function supported PRemote-HD function supported SmartZoom function for PRemote-HD connections supported Auto update function via Ethernet (WAN) supported Live display and playback Full-HDTV with 16:9 display format Sophisticated navigation functions Extensive search functions PTZ camera control via GUI 7

9 3 Login 3.1 Logon SMAVIA Viewing Client is usually installed on a workstation / PC and starts automatically after booting the system. In addition, the user login normally is automatically via Autologin. If SMAVIA Vewing Client starts with enabled Autologin, it is still possible to enter the login dialog. Keep the left Ctrl key at the start of SMAVIA Viewing Client. When a manual start with login is required, proceed as follows: The factory-set User is Administrator. The factory-set Password is admin. NOTICE Risk of abuse by unauthorized users! ¾¾Change the factory-set Default user and the Default password as soon as possible (see section Default User on page 19 and chapter User Management on page 48). ¾¾Start the workstation / PC. ¾¾Start SMAVIA Viewing Client.

The basic license allows access from a SMAVIA Viewing Client with full functionality. A SMAVIA Viewing Client can only access one SMAVIA Recording Server with one basic license. If acquiring a floating license, the basic license to a floating license is converted. The floating license allows multiple SMAVIA Viewing Clients (according to the license number) to access to one SMAVIA Recording Server. If in the device list Dallmeier devices of the 3rd and 4 Generation are included and no compatibility dongle is connected the Dongle Options dialog is displayed. Fig. 3-3 There are 3 options: Option 1: Always continue without dongle With this option, you only have access to SMAVIA devices. The Dongle Options dialog no longer appears at launch the next time. ¾¾Enable this option if required. ¾¾Confirm with OK. 10

11 Option 2: Continue without dongle once This option provides unique access to the SMAVIA devices. The Dongle Options dialog reappears at launch the next time. ¾¾Enable this option if required. ¾¾Confirm with OK. Option 3: Unlock dongle by input of its serial number This option is needed for Dallmeier devices of the 3rd and 4 Generation. ¾¾Connect the compatibility dongle. ¾¾Enter the license code. ¾¾Confirm with OK. The dongle can be again enabled on the help button? (check dongle). 11
