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 www.dallmeier.com) 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 www.dallmeier.com 7

2.3 Warranty The terms and conditions valid at the signing of the contract shall apply. www.dallmeier.com 8

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.
