SECTION I GENERAL INFORMATION Scope This manual provides information expected to be used in installing, adjusting, and operating the EXO HD GeminEye™ System. CAUTION: READ THIS MANUAL COMPLETELY BEFORE CONNECTING POWER TO THE UNIT. INJURY TO PERSONS, AND DAMAGE TO THE UNIT OR ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT CAN OCCUR IF THE UNIT IS NOT USED PROPERLY. Purpose of the Equipment This device is to be used to provide azimuth and elevation positioning for one HD daylight camera, and if desired an optional thermal camera.
Specifications PAN & TILT TInput Voltage 10 to 30 VDC Power Requirements Positioner w/Visible camera requires 60W during initialization or at start of move,30W during continuous motion, 11W at idle. If heaters are activated, an additional 72W is required. The FLIR Tau camera used in thermal imager models requires an additional 1.2W (approximate). Illuminator requires 45W, provided on separate power leads Pan Range Continuous pan rotation, non-continuous selectable.
ACCESSORIES Included accessories: • 10' indoor test cable included with product, terminating with RJ45 connectors for Camera 1 & Camera 2, #6 spade lugs for GeminEye power, Illuminator power, chassis ground. • Connector for user installation QuickSet part number QS50495 (generic MS3116F16-26SW). Note that customer should supply an appropriate connector back shell for outdoor installation to provide weather sealing appropriate to the installation.
Figure 2: EXO Visible / Thermal with Zoom lens version. Mounting The mounting base is drilled with four holes on a 4.75" diameter bolt circle in a 4.0" square base, sized for 1/4" screws. If mounted in a position other than horizontal, the payload capacity may be reduced. Fasten the base to a stable platform. We recommend 1/4-20" high strength stainless steel bolts and nuts be used.
INSTALLATION PROCEDURES – ELECTRICAL: General Comments The interface cable between the computer and integrated camera system is important to the reliable operation of any motorized instrument positioning system. Selection of the type of cable, the size (AWG), the number of conductors required, grounding techniques, special consideration for wiring to the devices mounted on the pan/tilt unit, plug connections and the pan/tilt options are the topics covered in this Section.
SECTION III THEORY OF OPERATION General: This manual provides information expected to be used in installing, adjusting, and operating the EXO HD GeminEye™ System. OVERVIEW The EXO GeminEye system is fundamentally different than previous GeminEye models in that it provides streaming video and control through an IP connection. Unlike previous models, there is no serial communication method, and there are no analog video outputs.
SECTION IV TEST SOFTWARE SOFTWARE SETUP Moog Configuration Tool By factory default, the Moog EXO Camera is configured in DHCP. If you are not using a DHCP server it will automatically allocate itself an APIPA (Automatic Private IP Addressing) address in the range 169.254.0.1 to 169.254.255.254 with subnet mask 255.255.0.0.
To configure the Unicast Discovery, add one or more IP address ranges. The Unicast Discovery tries to reach a device at a specific IP address in the configured ranges. The discovery can be a long process if the range of IP addresses is large and the device is at the end of the range. To accelerate the discovery, add several small ranges of IP addresses. The ping timeout option can be increased for a high latency network.
To assign IP Address, update firmware, or configure Moog web interface, right click on highlighted serial number / Mac Address. Assign IP address(es) Once the IP information is set, the Silverlight web application served by the EXO Camera can be launched from the MDT or directly in your web browser by typing the device’s IP address in the address bar.
Using the Moog EXO Web Application Application When entering the Web Application, the following window will be displayed. You will be asked a username and password. The default User name and Password is 'admin'.
System Status Status Window 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. System Status Configuration Maintenance Live Viewer Recording - 2.1.0 - 2.2.0 - 3.0.0 - 4.0.0 - 5.0.0 Main Menu Tabs Upon successfully logging into the web interface, a welcome screen will be displayed. The welcome screen shows general devices health status as well as firmware version and system uptime.
Configuration Under the Configuration section, select the System tab to perform the following operations: • View product model information, current firmware version and serial number. • Specify a custom name; this name can be used by third-party software to display a selected name for the device. Configuration / Date Time Under the Configuration section, select the Date Time tab to perform the following operations: • Set the time zone in which the device is operating.
Configuration Network Configuration / Network / DHCP Under the Configuration section, select the Network tab to perform the following operations: • Set the encoder’s IP parameters; DHCP or static IP information. • Configure an NTP server to allow the device to automatically update its internal clock using an NTP server. Configuration / Network / Host Name Configuration-NPT NPT Server- use when desiring to have local network time as default, to do so you must…….
Configuration / Network / API- Boujour NOTE: To control the EXO Camera system with a VMS software system, you must enable the required Network APIs. Enable PSIA or GENETEC API depending on which VMS platform you intend to use with the device. Disabling any unrequired APIs will accelerate boot time. Milestone VMS will link through the PSIA API. • Note: ONVIF is standard built in and does not require activation. If using ONVIF you do not need to select an API. • Set Bonjour discovery protocol settings.
Configuration / Video In / Video Input Under the Configuration section, select the Video In tab to perform the following operations: Digital format – choices are, 720 30fps, 720 60fps, 1080 30fps, 1080 25fps. Note max camera output with WDR Active is 15fps (1080p). Configuration / Video In / Sensor Configure camera bloc / sensor parameters. These parameters will also be saved to the camera bloc itself if possible (Note: Activating WDR at 1080P will reduce maximum frame rate to 15fps.
Configuration / Video In / Video Compression Set Quantization (QP) level to desired rate. The higher the number the greater the compression. (16 very low, 51 very high) Frame Rate Rate Control - Allows you to specify the frame rate to be used by the codec. - Allows you to choose between Variable Bit Rate and Constant Bit Rate. The first option will instruct the H.264 codec to dynamically adjust the bit rate in order to meet both the target quality (QP) and frame rate settings.
Configuration / Video In / Text Overlay To insert a text overlay: • There are (2) available strings (Text blocks). Select string. • Select string Size. • For string position click mouse inside string position box. – Text bar will appear on video image. – If you wish to relocate, simply click in desired position. – Type desired text into String Text Box. – Press Save Button.
