About This Guide

The Endura® VCD5000 video control display (VCD) provides access to most of the functionality needed for day-to-day operations as well as basic

monitor setup options. For access to advanced setup or configuration, use the WS5000 advanced system software or other available system

management application.

Before using this guide, you should install your VCD5000; refer to the VCD5000 Installation manual (C1617M) supplied with the unit. This guide

provides basic instructions to log on, set up, and operate your VCD5000. Refer to the VCD5000 Operation manual (C1618M) for a complete

description of the VCD5000 and its functions.

The first time you log on to the VCD5000, complete the following tasks:

• Set up the primary monitor format (refer to KBD5000 Keyboard Controls on page 9).

• Select a time zone (refer to Setting the System Clock on page 21).

DescriptionThe VCD5000 is a high-performance, multiple stream decoding unit. Its main function is to convert multiple MPEG-4 streams into video signals to

be viewed on a VGA or analog monitor. The VCD5000 also provides a user interface to the Endura system that is optimized for CCTV-style

keyboard control.

Depending on the VCD5000 model, up to 16, 32, 48, or 64 streams can be decoded and displayed simultaneously. Video can be displayed on

NTSC/PAL composite, NTSC/PAL S-Video, or VGA monitors. Every output option can display a single image, four images (2 x 2), nine images(3 x 3), and sixteen images (4 x 4). When multiple images are displayed, EnduraView™ technology automatically provides the best video display

frame rate for the selected cameras.

When used with the KBD5000 keyboard, the VCD5000 allows a user to operate the system like a traditional matrix using the joystick, jog/shuttle,

and keypad to control the video display. The unit also provides access to recorded video, allowing users to search, play back, and export video.

The VCD5000 provides access to these functions through a semitransparent graphical overlay on the monitor. You can turn this overlay on and off

by pressing Menu . Text-based menu items are available in multiple languages and are automatically loaded when a user logs on. The

simplified menu structure and corresponding KBD5000 keyboard function keys make the VCD5000 easy to operate.

The system allows growth in the following ways:

• Additional VCD5000s and KBD5000s can be added to accommodate multiple users.

• Additional 4-channel decoders or VCD5000s (to increase the number of monitors) can be added to decode video inputs without adding userworkstations.

Getting Started

STARTING THE UNIT

1. After the system is installed, open the front cover bezel using one of the keys supplied with the unit. Swing the bezel open on its hinge by

pulling it away from the front of the unit.

2. Press the power button located on the right front side of the VCD5000. The Pelco logo glows blue when power is applied.

3. Close and lock the bezel cover.

4. Wait while the unit starts; this may take several minutes.

USING KEYBOARDS WITH THE VCD5000Use a KBD5000 keyboard to operate the VCD5000. Refer to KBD5000 Keyboard Controls on page 9 for a description of keyboard functions when

running the VCD5000.

ENTERING USER NAMES AND PASSWORDSPassword characters are automatically converted to the corresponding numbers on the KBD5000 keypad. For example, if your password is cat53,

enter 22853 on the KBD5000 keyboard. You do not need to press a key several times or pause between characters.

LOGGING ONEach time you start the VCD5000, the system automatically begins a 60-second counter (refer to Figure 1). This feature allows the system to

automatically log on the designated user each time the VCD5000 is rebooted (for example, after a power failure or when the unit is restarted for

any reason). An administrator can enable or disable the autologin feature from the Preferences dialog box under Setup > System. In addition, the

user account and the timing can be changed for subsequent autologins. Once the time counts down to zero, the designated user is logged on. To

interrupt the autologin process, or to log on as a different user, follow the steps below.

NOTE You cannot access the VCD5000 application if you do not have a valid user name and password. Contact your Endura systemadministrator to set up an account from a WS5000 workstation. If you forget your password, contact your system administrator.

Monitor Setup

Endura systems support three monitor formats: VGA, NTSC, and PAL. The first time you start a VCD5000, you must set up the monitor format for

the primary monitor attached to the unit before you can view video on it. You can select a different format for each monitor attached to the

VCD5000.

You can also adjust overscanning for each NTSC/PAL monitor. Due to overscanning on NTSC/PAL monitors, the video extends beyond the

viewable screen area and may obscure the border surrounding the video. Adjust the overscan setting to shrink the image to fit inside the

viewable area of the monitor. Because sizes vary, overscanning can be adjusted by as much as 25 percent.

To set the initial primary monitor format:

1. Turn on the VCD5000. The Login dialog box appears in VGA format; the Monitor key and the numbers on the keypad are the only

active keys on the KBD5000. If the primary monitor is NTSC or PAL, perform steps 2 and 3.

NOTE: No other action is required if you monitor is VGA.

2. Press the Monitor key. The active keys change to 1, 2, and 3 only.

3. Press the number that corresponds to the format you want to set for your primary monitor:

• Press 1 to set the monitor format to VGA.

• Press 2 to set the monitor format to NTSC.

•

Press 3 to set the monitor format to PAL.

The format for the primary monitor is set and the VCD5000 restarts. After the VCD5000 restarts, you can log on and set the monitor format for any

additional monitors that are attached to your unit.

To set or change the monitor format:

1. From the Main menu, select Setup.

2. Select Monitors>Format.

3. In the Monitor Format dialog box, use the joystick to move from one output to another (if there is more than one output). Refer to Figure 20.

Figure 20. Monitor Format Dialog Box

4. Turn the jog (inner dial) to change the monitor format type: VGA (default), NTSC, or PAL.

5. Select the monitor format for each monitor attached to the VCD5000.

6. Select OK, and then press the joystick trigger to save your changes. To exit the dialog box without saving your changes, select Cancel.

NOTE: You must restart the VCD5000 before any changes take effect.

To set overscanning:

1. From the Main menu, select Setup.

2. Select Monitors.

Setting the System Clock

The date and time setting on the VCD5000 is synchronized with the Endura network; however, the time zone associated with the VCD5000 is

preset to Los Angeles. You must reset it to your local time zone. Pelco recommends that you reset the time zone before working with and

recording video. If your VCD5000 is not attached to a network, you can set the date and time manually from the Setup menu.

NOTE: You must restart the VCD5000 before time zone changes are recognized by the operating system.

To set the system date and time:1. From the Main menu, select Setup > System.
