What’s New in Intellex v3.2?
For those of you who are already familiar with Intellex, this new feature summary may be all you need to
know to get up to speed. Some of the changes are minor. Some are significant improvements in the
product. Let’s walk through what you will run into as you work your way through the menus.
Enhanced Text Capability: Improvements have been made to text handling. Text exceptions and receipt
definitions are on different menu pages. Text exceptions can be applied as a group, requiring all conditions
to be met.
Enhanced Security: Intellex and Network Client support advanced security made available with Intellex
Policy Manager. Intellex Policy Manager software, which is purchased separately, extends Windows-level
security to Intellex. This is especially appropriate for networked systems where the IT professionals want to
control the security of all network devices including Intellex. The standard Intellex security method is
retained as the default. It is referred to as “classic security.” Intellex Policy Manager had a limited release
with Intellex v3.1. The updated version will see expanded use with v3.2.
Intellex Archive Manager: Network storage will be available with the introduction of Intellex Archive
Manager. Intellex Archive Manager software is purchased separately and allows Intellex units to archive
video to a network attached storage (NAS) device on a separate network server. Network Client provides
access to the stored data.
Intellex Archive Manager and Intellex Policy Manager are highly valuable to the large networked
installations. Both options require additional equipment that would not be practical for small installations.
Each requires its own network server. Either program may be used alone or together in the same
installation.
DVD Option: Want to export larger video files? You can opt for a DVD instead of a CD-RW. Intellex will
export DVD-sized data (up to 4.7 gigabytes or GB) in a single session. The same DVD will also write to
CD media for smaller clips.
New Hardware Configurations: 250 GB drives are used in v3.2 providing internal options of 250, 500 or
750 GB capacity. The 750 GB capacity is only available in the Intellex rack mount configuration. The
standard software package has been discontinued. Deluxe and premier software packages are the remaining
options.
Direct Dome Control Enhancements: Improvements have been made in direct dome control from
Intellex. The Camera Control GUI has been updated to incorporate additional features. You can set presets
and patterns as well as call them from Intellex. You can enter the Dome Control menu to set up dome
features.
USB-to-SensorNet Direct Dome Control: Direct dome control has been improved to include SensorNet
control of domes using a new USB-to-CCTV converter box, which is purchased separately. This device
has both SensorNet and RS-422 outputs, however only SensorNet is used in this release. Combining this
control method with the additional direct dome control enhancements mentioned above provides a powerful
method for controlling all dome features.
VM96 Switcher Control: You will be able to control domes connected to VM96 switchers. Intellex
control of the VM96 is similar to setup and control of AD switchers (MegaPower
™
1024, MegaPower 168
and 48 Plus). Select the control handler in the Intellex Camera Control menu. Connect a serial port to the
switcher. See the manual or the “All You Wanted to Know about DVR Dome Control” document for
installation details.
