System Overview
1. INTRODUCTION
The Pelco CM9760-GUI Graphics Controller is a new development in CCTV user interfaces. The Graphic
Controller replaces a mimic panel with a windows based graphics system run on a PC.
The Graphic Controller contains maps that are used as backgrounds for installation/sites. Multiple maps
can be used to represent divided or multistory complexes. Buttons are programmed onto these maps. When
a button is clicked with the mouse, it activates a camera/monitor switch, or loads a new map onto the
screen.
This manual details installation and operation instructions for the CM9760-GUI Graphic Controller pro-
gram.
1.1 MAIN FEATURES
The main features of the CM9760-GUI Graphic Controller program are:
¨
Maps are designed by the site administrator to represent any desired layout. These maps are drawn
using any standard draw/paint package.
¨
Programming of buttons and setting of workstation parameters are restricted to operators with the
Administrator password.
¨
¨
¨
Commands and windows can be restricted from operators.
Various camera-switching options are available to suit the requirements of operators.
Pan/tilt/zoom facilities can be controlled, auxiliary functions operated and preset positions selected
on cameras that possess these features.
¨
Alarms can be armed/disarmed and reset when they have been triggered.
1.2 OPTIONAL FEATURES
Optional features that increase the functionality of the Graphics Controller program include:
¨
A scaleable Video window that provides VGA resolution color pictures. An optional video card is
required for this option.
¨
Warning sounds are produced when alarms are triggered or system errors occur.

NOTE: A level converter can be used to connect a PC to an RS422 Sercom port on the rear of the
9760-CC1.
2.1.2 SVGA PC Monitor
The default setting for monitors when using the Graphic Controller program is 800 x 600 resolution with 16
colors.
If a Video Blaster card is installed in the PC, a screen resolution of 800 x 600 is the highest recommended.
Higher resolutions can be used if an optional Video Blaster card has not been installed. Monitor resolution
effects what size maps can be imported, therefore the optimum monitor resolution should be determined
before maps are exported.
2.1.3 Video Blaster Card
Video pictures can be displayed in the Video window in the Graphic Controller program if an optional
Creative Labs SE100 Video Blaster card is installed. Refer to the manual accompanying the video blaster
card for installation instructions.
The video output from the Video Matrix Bay connects to the input RCA connector on the Video Blaster card
(illustrated in figure 2-3). No external termination is necessary.
An optional composite color video monitor can be connected between the 9760-MXB (Video Matrix Bay)
and the PC so the same image displayed in the Video window is always displayed on a monitor.
2.1.4 Sound
Sound from the PC is required to warn operators when an alarm is triggered or when system errors occur.
There are two options currently available.
2.1.4a Sound Blaster Card (optional)
An optional sound blaster card provides sounds for alarms and system errors. Refer to the manual
accompanying the sound blaster card for installation instructions.
2.1.4b Windows Sound
Windows sound is standard with Windows software. It produces sounds for system events. However,
this option slows processing and may result in the system momentarily halting while sounds are pro-
duced. Refer to your Windows manual for set up information.
2.1.4c Sound Driver (future)
Dedicated sound drivers may be produced in future versions if required.

CHAPTER THREE
Maps and Administrator Features
3. INTRODUCTION
This chapter details how to customize the Graphic Controller program to suit an installation. The com-
mands and windows detailed in this chapter can only be accessed by operators with Administrator authority
(refer to Administrator Log On).
Normal operation of the Graphic Controller program is detailed in Chapter 4.
3.1 SET UP PROCEDURE
Before operators can begin normal operations, the following procedures must be completed:
1. The Graphic Controller software and hardware must be installed correctly (refer to Chapter 2 for in-
structions).
2. Maps that represent the installation must be designed (refer to Installation Maps).
3. Buttons for camera switching, alarms and areas (map loading) need to be programmed (refer to
Buttons).
4. The Graphic Controller workstation needs to be set up; e.g., Comms port configured, access to
menus and functions allocated/restricted from users (refer to Work Station Set Up).
5. The Pelco CM9760-CC1 must be operating correctly and configured to support the Graphic Con-
troller (refer to the CM9760-CC1 manual).
3.2 ADMINISTRATOR LOG ON

Chapter Three: Maps and Administrator Features
3.3 INSTALLATION MAPS
Maps are drawn for each location/site where a Graphic Controller program is installed. These maps are de-
signed to accurately represent the physical installation.
3.3.1 Creating Maps
Any draw/paint package that can export bitmap (.BMP) files can be used to create an installation map (e.g.,
Paint Brush which is supplied with Windows). Some drawing packages provide more features and therefore
are better than others.
NOTE: Image resolution may drop in quality during the export filtering process.
When creating installation maps, the following should be considered:
Þ What areas should be illustrated? Should parking and other areas around the buildings be in-
cluded?
Þ How detailed should the map be? Details like doorways, tables, stairs etc. should be included if
they make the map easier to identify.
Þ What alarm and area buttons are required? All camera locations should be illustrated.
Þ Can all the information fit onto one map? There are limitations on the number of buttons that can
be added to each map (refer to Adding Buttons).
Þ How much space should the map occupy on the main screen? If windows (e.g., the Video window)
need to remain open, vacant space around the map may be required.
To create/edit a map:
1. Open the draw/paint software package that will be used to draw the installation map.
2. Draw the installation map. Architects drawings or plans of the building(s) may be helpful during
this process.
3. Illustrate all camera positions on the map (dark blue is suggested). Area buttons (yellow is sug-
gested) and alarm buttons (red is suggested) should be included as required. It should be remem-
bered any shape or color can be used to depict items.
NOTE: Buttons cannot be positioned on top of each other. If they are, only the top one can be
activated.
4. When complete, save the file to the same directory as the Graphic Controller program (C:\Gcon).
The map should be given a meaningful filename; e.g., first_fl.* (DOS limits the length of the
filename to eight characters, with a three character extension).
5. The map must now be exported as a bitmap (.BMP). Refer to Exporting Maps for detailed in-
structions.
3.3.2 Exporting Maps
When maps are exported they must be the correct size for the screen resolution of the PC monitor the
Graphic Controller program is displayed on.
To export a map from a draw/paint package.
1. Follow the instructions on exporting provided in the graphics package being used. The file must
be exported with the following parameters:
Þ BMP format.
Þ 16 colors.
12/97
9760-GUI
15
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
9760-Graphic User Interface Manual
Þ 75 DPI. This is the maximum resolution possible with a Video Blaster card. If a Video Blaster
card is not connected, higher resolutions can be selected.
Þ Pixels = 640 x 531. If windows are required to remain open (e.g., Video window), the size of
the map can be reduced so windows can be placed in the vacant space around the map. The re-
duction in size will depend on user requirements.
Þ If the screen resolution of the monitor is not 800 x 600, the pixel size will need to be selected to
suit the monitor.
2. Save the file to the same directory as the Graphic Controller program (e.g., C:\Gcon).
NOTE: If maps are edited or changed at a later stage, remember to export an updated *.BMP file.
3.4 FILES
The following files are required for each installation map:
¨
¨
*.bmp = bitmap file of the installation map.
*.map = details the position and function of camera/Macro buttons. This file is created by the
Graphic Controller program when camera buttons are programmed.
¨
¨
*.alm = details the position and function of alarms buttons. This file is created by the Graphic
Controller program when alarm buttons are programmed.
*.are = details the position and function of area buttons. This file is created by the Graphic
Controller program when area buttons are programmed.
Where * is the name of each installation map (e.g., first_fl).
Large sites may require many installation maps to completely cover the entire installation.
All files should be stored in the same directory as the Graphic Controller program (e.g., C:\Gcon).
3.4.1 Saving Files
Whenever changes are made to buttons or the work station set up in the graphic Controller program, the file
must be saved.
To save files:
1. Complete changes to the buttons and the work station set up as required.
2. When all changes are complete, select Save Map from the Map menu option. The Save Map &
Details window (illustrated in figure 3-2) will appear. This command saves the *.MAP, *.ALM
and *.ARE files (where * is the filename of the map currently displayed).

first_fl.
6. Click OK to save the changes. Click Cancel to abort the changes.
If the current session is exited and changes have not been saved, the Map/Screen Changed window (illus-
trated in Figure 3-3) will appear. Click OK to save the changes. Click Continue to abort the changes.
Figure 3-3: Map/Screen Changed Window.
3.4.1a Default.bmp
The map that is to be used most frequently should be renamed default.bmp. The map, which is lo-
cated in the same directory as the Graphic Controller program (e.g., C:/Gcon), will automatically be
loaded when the Graphic Controller program is started. If a map called default.bmp cannot be found,
a map will need to be loaded manually.
3.4.2 Loading Files
Files (maps) that have been saved previously can be loaded whenever required.
To load files (map):
1. Log on to the system using the Administrator password.
2. The default map should appear (i.e., the map named Default.bmp).
3. Select Load Map from the Map menu option. The Load Map & Details window (illustrated in
Figure 3-4) will appear.

7. Click to load the file. This command also loads the *.MAP, *.ALM and *.ARE files (where * is the
name of the file loaded)
3.5 BUTTONS
Buttons are added to maps to perform commands on the 9760 system. There are three types of buttons:
1. Camera/Macro buttons are used to select cameras, move the cameras to a preset position and
start/stop auxiliary functions on the camera.
2. Alarm buttons contain information on alarms. When an alarm is activated, the associated alarm
button flashes to illustrate to the operator which alarm has been activated.
3. Area buttons provide a quick method of selecting another map. Area buttons are illustrated on in-
stallation maps. When they are selected using the mouse, the appropriate map is instantly loaded.
3.5.1 Adding Buttons
To place a button:
1. Log on to the system using the Administrator password. The default map should appear.
2. If buttons need to be added to the map currently displayed, go to Step 4. If buttons need to be
added to another map, go to Step 3.
3. To load another map, complete Steps 3 to 6 from Loading Files.
4. Ensure Show Buttons from the Screen menu option has been selected (i.e., a checkmark will ap-
pear next to the option). All buttons will be displayed with their allocated number.
5. Select the required place option from the Buttons menu:
Þ Place Cam/Mim to add a camera/Macro button.
Þ Place Area to add an area button.
Þ Place Alm to add an alarm button.
6. Place the mouse arrow in the top left most position that the button will occupy on the screen.
7. Press and hold down the left mouse button, then drag the mouse down and to the right until a
rectangle appears where the button should be located. This rectangle can be resized as long as the

COM1, baud 4800, 8 bits, parity even). The Setup 9760 Program window allows access for programming
the Comms file with the same parameters (refer to The Comms File in the CM9760-MGR manual for more
details).
3.6.1a Administrator Password
Allocating a PIN to the Administrator allows Graphic Controller commands; e.g., camera switching,
to be completed by the Administrator when they log on to the system (in non-design mode). Refer to

CHAPTER FOUR
Operation
4. INTRODUCTION
This chapter details how to operate a CM9760-GUI system using the Pelco Graphic Controller program.
The Pelco CM9760-GUI Graphic Controller is a Windows based program. Some training may be required if
the operator is unfamiliar with Window programs.
Not all windows and features detailed in this chapter may be available to operators. The Administrator pos-
sesses the ability to restrict features as he deems necessary (refer to Work Station Set Up).
4.1 MAIN FEATURES
The Graphic Controller program provides the ability to:
¨
Select any camera connected to the system; provided access has been allocated (see Allocating Cam-
eras — 9760-MGR manual).
¨
¨
Maneuver controllable cameras.
Control pan/tilt/zoom facilities, operate auxiliary functions and select preset positions on cameras
that possess these features.
¨
¨
¨
¨
Arm/disarm and reset alarms when they have been triggered.
Select GPIs and turn relays ON/OFF.
Load, halt and program Macros.
Pause, save, and reload pictures displayed in the video window.
4.1.1 Before Starting
Before starting this chapter, it is assumed that:
Þ The 9760 system is operational.
Þ Setup files have been programmed using the 9760 Setup program.
Þ The Graphic Control program has been setup by the Administrator (refer to Chapter 3).
The following information should be available:
Þ The operator’s PIN.
Þ The logical camera number list.
In addition, the following information may be useful:
Þ A list of all Macros.
Þ Lists of all General Purpose Interfaces (GPIs) complete with auxiliary key details.
Þ A logical alarm number list.
The above information should be available from your manager or the security supervisor.

4.2 STARTING THE GRAPHIC CONTROLLER PROGRAM
The Graphic Controller program is started automatically when Windows is started, or double clicking on
the GCON icon in Windows Program Manager can start it. The Log On window (illustrated in figure 4-1)
will appear on the screen when the program has started. Operators must log on before they can operate the
Graphic Controller program.
4.2.1 Log On
A PIN is required to log on to the system. This PIN informs the system which operator is logging on and
what authority they have been allocated (e.g., if an operator has been restricted access to a camera in the
9760 Setup program, they will not be able to control that camera using the Graphic Controller program).
NOTE: For security reasons, each operator is usually assigned an individual PIN. Unless a correct
PIN is entered, the operator will not be able to access the system. If you do not know your PIN,
contact your manager or the security supervisor.

Appendix One: GUI Introduction
Appendix One
1. APPENDIX ONE
1.1 BASIC INTRODUCTION FOR OPERATORS
The Pelco CM9760-GUI (known as a “goo-ey”) has been designed to help make supervising a site quick,
easy, and efficient. This is done by means of a computer screen that has a picture (or map) of the site to be
supervised. Linked into the picture are a number of “hotspots”. For example, a picture of a camera on the
map could be a “hotspot” so that clicking on it with the mouse will automatically make the current video
footage from that camera come up on the computer screen.
Clicking with the mouse on these hotspots (also known as “buttons”) can automatically activate some CCTV
functions and procedures to take place; while other actions can be carried out quickly using the mouse.
For example, some of these functions and procedures may include
1. Clicking on a picture of a camera on the map
Þ
Þ
So that the picture from that camera comes up on a television monitor near the operator.
While the image is on a television monitor the operator is able to use the mouse to
pan/tilt/zoom/ and focus the camera.
Þ
Þ
Or a series of camera switches takes place automatically so that each of up to five cameras
situated all around the site will display their image for two seconds on the nearest monitor (the
operator can set the monitor and the time each camera is displayed)
Or bringing up that picture on the computer screen and being able to enlarge it, shrink it,
pan/tilt/zoom/focus it, freeze it, take a photo and keep the photo on file to be looked at again at
a later time.
2. Clicking on a part of the map which indicates that this is eg: the second story so a whole new map
comes on screen with a whole new array of cameras situated around the site to be checked out.
3. Alarms flashing on the screen so the operator can click on the nearest camera to see what’s going
on and then reset all the alarms if necessary.
4. Use the mouse to click on a button and set a VCR recording.
1.2 INTRODUCTORY NOTES FOR THE ADMINISTRATOR
The “Administrator/s” of the 9760 GUI (i.e., the person/s in charge of the operators using the 9760-GUI)
have available to them a wide range of options and choices when it comes to actually setting the system up
for everyday operation.
When the 9760 GUI is in Administrator mode all the Drop-Down menus are available. The main ones the
Administrator will use are the Map, Button, and Setup menus. For most of the procedures required in set-
ting up the system the menu options are easy to follow and the dialog boxes associated with the procedures
easily interpreted and user-friendly. (See the CM9760-GUI Manual Chapter Three {System Administrator
Programming} for full details.)

The Administrator’s main functions are to make sure:
Þ
Þ
Þ
The maps are drawn to accurately represent the area/s to be supervised (this can be done by a
computer-whiz and then loaded in)
That operators have access to the functions they will require (usually the Program and
Screen menus) while being restricted from others
The “Area” and “Camera/Macro” and “Alarm” buttons (or “hotspots”) are configured cor-
rectly.
1.2.2 “Area” and “Camera/Macro” and “Alarm” Buttons (or “Hotspots”) Explained
These buttons, when programmed effectively, can make using the 9760 GUI very simple, quick, effective,
and easy to learn for any operator (including those unfamiliar with CCTV installations).
1.2.3 Area Buttons
Area buttons provide a quick method of selecting another map. When the mouse is clicked on an Area but-
ton a sub-map of that particular area will come on screen (e.g., the basement) complete with associated
camera and alarm hotspots (and more Area hotspots if applicable).
1.2.4 Camera Macro Buttons
Camera Macro buttons (also known as Camera mimic buttons) are used to select cameras to display on a
monitor or on the computer screen. Clicking on a camera macro button can also set in train a series of cam-
era/monitor switches (if these have been programmed).
1.2.5 Alarm Buttons
An Alarm button flashes when the alarm it represents has been activated.
NOTE: To program (or “place”) these button/hotspots into the map/s is a simple procedure and is
done through the Button and Map menus. For full details see the 9760-GUI Manual.

Video Loss is a feature of the 9760 that checks to make sure all camera (or other in-
put) video signals are being received. If a signal is lost, an alarm will sound. A sys-
tem may have 1,000 cameras while an operator is only concerned with five. Rather
than receive an alarm and/or a message each time video loss is discovered some-
where in the system, an operator may Enable the video loss feature only on the five
cameras he wants to know about (and disable the other 995!).
