38 —
revision 38
B.A.S.I.S. Client - a networked station designed to receive and display a live
video feed from one or more LDVR-SP and/or play recorded video files from
any available LDVR-SP.
LDVR-SP Client Workstation Requirements
• Intel® Pentium, 600 MHz processor
• 64 MB RAM, 256 KB Cache
• 10GB IDE 7200 rpm hard drive
• 8 MB video card
• 56K bps modem
• One 32-bit PCI slot with bus mastering capabilities
• 10BaseX Ethernet network interface card
• Microsoft TCP/IP protocol properly installed and configured
Note: These minimum requirements are based on the operating system minimums.
Archiving Requirements
The archive server is based on a centralized archiving scheme, which makes the
management of video archiving easy. Video servers can be located anywhere on a
LAN or WAN and no longer have to be easily accessible for backup and tape
management.
Limitations:
• For continuous archiving, there is a maximum of four digital video servers to
one archive server.
• In a standard eight-channel board, all 32 video input channels may be
archived.
Notes: Actual maximum capacities depend on compression and frame rates.
If you are using Qualstar for archiving, refer to the Qualstar Installation and
Operation Manual, and the Microsoft Remote Storage documentation. If you
are using the Powervault for archiving, refer to the Powervault Manual
supplied by Dell.
