TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
The WS5200 Advanced System Management Software provides
access to all operation and configuration features of the Endura
®
system in a unifi ed, intuitive, graphical user interface. The interface
has been optimized for the demanding needs of surveillance
professionals and utilizes drag-and-drop operations, shortcut
menus, built-in tooltips, and online Help to enable the most direct,
intuitive interactions with cameras and components distributed
across the network.
V ideo Display Optimized for Surveillance
Surveillance operators require access to real-time live video and
instant access to playback. The
WS5200 has been specifically
designed to optimize performance, productivity, and effectiveness.
Operators can customize up to six active workspaces. Each workspace
can have its own screen configuration populated with any grouping of
cameras. These workspaces allow the operator to rapidly switch from
camera group to camera group. The workspaces and camera
associations are automatically loaded upon login, along with the
user’s language preferences and permission levels. This eliminates
any lost time in changing screen layouts or configurations during shift
changes.
The second generation of the WS5200 has also been designed to
deliver optimum decoding performance to take advantage of the
latest capabilities of analog cameras and advances in compression
technology. The
WS5200 supports MPEG-4 as well as all common
profiles of the latest H.264 codec. Provided the host PC has enough
processing power, users can simultaneously decode sixteen 4CIF,
MPEG-4 video streams in real time, or twelve H.264 baseline profile
streams in real time, or two 1080p streams in real time. Of course,
any combination is also supported. Additionally, more cameras can
be viewed simultaneously using the
WS5200’s convenient tear-off
tabs and leveraging multiple monitors to display up to 32 cameras
concurrently. Endura’s patent-pending EnduraView
™
technology will
manage the CPU processing load and network bandwidth
requirements by automatically seeking out and displaying a lower
resolution, secondary stream (if one exists), or reducing the refresh
rate to ensure that system stabilization is not jeopardized.
To take advantage of the latest developments in monitor technology
and camera capabilities, the
WS5200 interface automatically detects
the monitor’s native resolution and aspect ratio and configures the
display to accommodate what the monitor can support. Based on the
monitor’s native aspect ratio, the
WS5200 supports screen
configurations in single-image, 2
x 2, 3 x 3, 4 x 4, 1 + 5, 1 + 12, and
2
+ 8 for 4:3 aspect ratio displays and adds 3 x 2 and 4 x 3 for
16:9
aspect ratio displays. As different cameras operate in different
aspect ratios, the
WS5200 will maintain the native aspect ratio of the
camera to minimize any potential distortion of the image. An
innovative Zone of Interest
™
feature makes it convenient to leverage
the power of today’s megapixel cameras to cover a large field of view
while allowing a user to independently select certain areas of the
scene to get a closer view. The
WS5200’s zone of interest capability
consumes no additional processing power or network bandwidth as a
user creates up to six independently controlled zones of interest from
a single camera.
Recorded footage can be instantly accessed for any camera without
impacting live surveillance of other cameras on the same monitor.
Flexible synchronous playback allows operators to synchronize the
playback of 16 cameras for investigations that require multiple
vantage points of the same event. Camera controls, PTZ operation,
video playback controls, snapshot capture, and export tools all
conveniently appear over the video when the cursor is placed on the
desired camera’s view.
Once footage has been identified, operators with the proper
permissions can archive footage from one or multiple cameras to be
used for evidentiary purposes. Clips from multiple cameras are
managed in the Export Manager, allowing operators to create
playlists of multiple cameras, synchronize different cameras to
allow for multicamera view of the same time period, and password
protect the export media or add custom watermarking information
for non-proprietary export formats. Additionally, operators can add
commentary that is automatically saved to the export log, allowing
those that view or use the exported footage to work more efficiently.
The Pelco Export Player can authenticate the validity of video
frames from Pelco IP cameras and encoders, and it can validate that
the footage saved to the export media has not been tampered with
prior to playback. A convenient video scrubbing and thumbnail view
of the exported footage lets viewers navigate to the point of interest
quickly and efficiently.
