6 1.1 GV-2004, 2008 The GV-2004 and GV-2008, as four-in-one combo cards, include the features of previous GV-Video Capture Card (recording of up to 16 video channels), GV-DSP Card (real-time display), GV-A16 Card (recording of up to 16 audio channels), and GV-Hybrid DVR Card (hardware compression). This economic device not only provides a single-card solution but also saves the PCI slots. Minimum System Requirements OS CPU RAM HDD VGA DirectX Windows 2000 / Windows XP / Windows Server 2003 / Windows Vista GV-2004 Pentium GHz with Hyper-Threading GV-2008 Pentium GHz with Hyper-Threading GV-2008 x 2 Pentium GHz with Hyper-Threading GV x 512 MB Dual Channel GV x 512 MB Dual Channel GV-2008 x 2 2 x 1 GB Dual Channel GV GB or above GV GB or above GV-2008 x GB or above ATI Radeon 9550 or above NVIDIA 6200 or above 9.0 or above Note: 1. Currently GV-Video Capture Cards are not compatible with VIA-series and ATIseries chipset motherboards. 2. To install two GV-2008 Cards, ensure the PC power supply is 400 Watts or above. Packing List 1. GV-2004 or GV-2008 Card x D-Type Video and Audio Cable x D-Type Video and Audio Cable x 1 (only supplied with the GV-2008 Card) 4. 6-Pin Cable x 1 (only supplied with the GV-2008 Card) 5.

7 1 Video Capture Cards Connections (GV-2004) Connect the D-Type video and audio cable to the GV-2004 Card. Connect the TV Monitor to the GV-2004 Card if needed D-Type Video and Audio Cable TV Monitor Video 1~4 Audio 1~4 1 GV-2004 Card Figure 1-1 GV-2004 Card connections 3

8 Connections (GV-2008) For the GV-2008 Card, you can choose to install one or two GV-2008 Cards to meet your different needs. Connect the D-Type video and audio cable to the GV-2008 Card. If needed, connect the TV monitor to the GV-2008 Card. When you install two GV-2008 Cards in a computer, you need to classify them as a master and a slave card. Insert them to their own slots determined by the PCI slot IDs. Use the 6- pin cable to connect the slave card to the master card. See Figure D-Type Video and Audio Cable Video 1~4 TV Monitor Audio 1~4 Video 5~8 Audio 5~8 2 Video 9-12 Audio D-Type Video and Audio Cable 1 GV-2008 Card (Master) 6 6-Pin Cable (See the next page) Video Audio GV-2008 Card (Slave) Figure 1-2 Connections of Two GV-2008 Cards 4

9 1 Video Capture Cards Connecting Slave Card to Master Card The card attached to the lower PCI slot number will act as Master, and the card attached to the higher PCI slot number will act as Slave. Connect both cards inner pins with the 6-Pin Cable. See (A) connection in the Figure below. In a computer where two GV-2008 Cards are installed, only 8 channels are functional when the GV-System is running. It may be that the position of Master card and Slave card is reversed, so the 6-Pin Cable is connected to the wrong pin assignment. To solve the problem, please try to connect both cards outer pins with the 6-Pin Cable. See (B) connection in the Figure below.

10 Adjusting the Video Settings in the Main System One distinct feature of GV-2004 and GV-2008 Cards is their ability of hardware compression, providing you with higher system performance and DVD recording quality. To take full advantage of GV-2004 and GV-2008 Cards, you can adjust the video settings, including the codec, video resolution and frame rate, before running the GV-System. Set the video settings of the recorded files: Considering computer performance or recording quality, you may adjust the settings to meet your needs. 1. On the Main System, click the Configure button, point to General Setting, select Camera / Audio Install, and click Hybrid Camera Install. This dialog box appears. Figure Check the cameras you want to set up, and click the Configure button. This dialog box appears. Figure 1-5 6

11 1 Video Capture Cards 3. In the Select Hybrid Camera field, select one camera to be configured. 4. Select the desired codec, video attributes, recording quality and video resolution. If you want to apply the same setting to all selected cameras, click the Finger button in each field. However, the codec selection applies to all cameras. If you change the codec selection when you configure another camera, the newly selected codec will replace the previous selection. 5. The Enable compressed data FIFO option is enabled by default. The hardwarecompressed data from the video IP device, such as IP camera, video server and compact DVR, will be transmitted directly to remote servers instead of being compressed again on the DVR. The remote servers include CMS-related servers and WebCam Server. This feature can decrease the system load of DVR but increase that of remote servers. 6. To access the frame rate settings, on the Main System, click the Configure button, point to General Setting, select System Configure, and then click the Camera Record Setting tab. In the Rec Control section, click the Arrow button. The Hardware Rec. Frame Rate Setting dialog box appears. Figure 1-6 7

12 7. Set the maximum frame rate for motion and non-motion periods so as to save as much disk space as possible. Note: 1. The default settings are as follows: Record Quality is 3, Video Resolution is 720 x 480 (NTSC) or 720 x 576 (PAL), Codec is MPEG 4 (ASP) and Frame Rate is 30 (NTSC) or 25 (PAL). 2. When the Codec is set at MPEG-2 on GV-System V8.2, the Frame Rate is fixed at 30, and the Economic Round-the-Clock function cannot be used. 8
