Specifications

Newer networks using 100baseT should see very little impact using DVMS. DVMS currently supports only 10baseT

cards, and when used on a 100baseT network, would use very little bandwidth under any conditions.

Text Insertion Capabilities

DVMS has a single Text Inserter port per camera input. That means DVMS 100 has a single text port, and the

DVMS 400 has four. This allows connection to compatible ATMs, Electronic Cash Registers (ECRs) and other

devices for text overlay on the recorded video.

Upon receipt of this data, the DVMS will store the text information as digital data, along with the images

generated by the camera input. This data can be enabled or disabled from view during playback. This can be

accomplished because the text data is not directly “burned” or merged with the images during recording. The

data is merely stored alongside the video, allowing selectable overlay.

DVMS can control several aspects of the text display.

Line Length: 20-40 Characters

Compatibility With Cash Registers

The Text input port is designed to accept data from any Asynchronous RS232 ASCII text generating device. The

RS232 printer port of some Cash Registers and ATMs are compatible. Note that the Text Device output HAS to be

Asynchronous RS232 ASCII, and generated real time upon transaction. Some ECRs output compatible data, but

buffer and dump data to a printer periodically. This type of interface is unusable with any text insertion device, as

with DVMS.

Many ECRs do not have an accessible or compatible port. In these cases, it may be necessary to source a Text

Inserter/converter from a third party. American Video Equipment (AVE) is a good source for such a device. They

make converters for hundreds of different ECRs. The converter would probably connect to a special board edge

connector internal to the ECR, and convert the data to RS232 Async ASCII. This output can then connect to the

DVMS Text input.

Compatibility With ATMs

Traditionally, Gyyr has offered many ways which to provide text overlay capability with ATMs. The TLC-2100S16

and 5232MP products utilize a sophisticated programmable text interface optimized for use with ATMs. This

allows connection between the modem and ATM, allowing for easy connection outside the sensitive areas of the

Teller Machine. It supports ATM addressing, multiple protocols, Asynchronous, Bisynchronous and many other

modes. This makes these products compatible with virtually any ATM on the market.

The text port on DVMS is much more basic, connecting to a generic RS232 output. This means DVMS cannot be

connected to an ATM like we do with our other products, and may require connection to the receipt printer

physically inside the ATM. If this type of output were not available for connection, you would not be able to

connect DVMS directly to the ATM. In that case, you can easily attach Gyyr’s 5232MP Text Inserter device

between the Modem/ATM and DVMS. This allows maximum compatibility, and still provides the text overlay

capability. One 5232MP is required per ATM. Note that this configuration will “burn” the transaction data directly

onto the video image, and cannot be disabled during playback. In order to easily search to a specific transaction,

the 5232MP alarm output must be connected to any available alarm input of DVMS (not shown in diagram).

Whenever a transaction occurs, the 5232MP overlay text onto video, and sends an alarm to DVMS. DVMS “marks”

the video clip as an Alarm Event. You can easily search to an Alarm event by Time/Date and recall specific

transactions that way. See next diagram.
