7 1. INTRODUCTION The Video Serial Interface (VSI-Pro) allows characters to be inserted into any video source via an RS-232 / RS-422 / RS-485 link. This allows cash registers, computers, scales, pole displays, printers or any RS-232 / RS-485 / RS-422 communicating device to display alpha-numerics in the video picture of any CCTV system.

10 3. CONNECTIONS The VSI-Pro will overlay the characters on any input video source. The video input can be virtually any baseband or composite video source. The VSI-Pro will accept NTSC, RS-170, RS-330, CCIR, P AL or SECAM video formats. The Video input to the VSI-Pro is a st andard BNC connector , terminated at 75 [ohms].
11 3.1 RS-232 SERIAL INPUT The VSI-Pro accepts serial data via the DB-9 female connector located on the rear of VSI-Pro. This connector is similar to “A T” type computer RS232 serial ports and the pin out is identical. T able 1 shows the standard pin out for VSI-Pro RS-232 female connector .

33 Figure 64: VSI-Pro with DVR Connections VSI-Pro VIDEO SERIAL INTERF ACE OUTPUT EXCEPTIONS This selection allows you to have the buffered exceptions sent out for printing. This is a global setting for all excep- tions, but you also need to turn on the output for each independent exception.
34 OUTPUT Choices: ON, OFF The OUTPUT controls the RS-232 dat a from the VSI-Pro. T ypically this is sent to a remote Serial Printer to provide a hard copy of Exceptions with time and date on it. This data can also be sent out to a computer with appropriate software and give you the ability to analyze data.
35 HISTOR Y BUFFER ON/OFF The history buffer stores all the exceptions that are occur in the VSI-Pro. Sometimes this can be very large and consume a large portion of the memory of the VSI-Pro. This can be used to automatically search a comp atible DVR, upload to a PC to save or print out and view on screen on the VSI-Pro.
36 EXCEPTION STRING The VSI-Pro compares the data that is printed to video to the dat a entered in the Exception S tring. The Exception S tring can also be used without a defined range. Example of this would be to assign a word “ VOID” as an exception.
37 OPERA TOR Choices: 0000.00-9999.99 The Operator determines the behavior of the Range. Think of the Operator in mathematical terms. Setting the correct range and specifying “IN” or “OUT” will make the Operator perform “greater than”, “less than”, “equal to”, “in the range”, or “out of the range” calculations.
38 OUT RANGE Suppose Exception #3 would “FLAG” every transaction on Department 2 that is under 10 cent s and over $100 dollars. This would be the settings for this Exception: Exception No. 3 Display ON Output ON, OFF (Depending on presence of serial printer).

62 VSI-Pro VIDEO SERIAL INTERF ACE RS-485 NETWORKER The RS-485 Networker is designed to convert the RS-232 serial port output of the VSI-Pro to be a poll/select network. This allows all the transaction dat a to be collected by one computer for up to 64 VSI-Pros.
63 VSI-Pro VIDEO SERIAL INTERF ACE Figure1E : Windows Tile Horizont al The simple to install and use the Networker PC Software allows up to 64 VSI-Pros and Cash Registers to be config- ured on an RS-485 network and report all the transaction data back to a single monitoring computer .
64 APPENDIX F RS-485 VNETWORKER The following diagram is a basic connection layout of the Vnetorker and VSI-Pro when used with a PC controller . All functions of the VSI-Pro locally operate normally and as a stand alone VSI-Pro.
65 The new menu items are “Set T ime / Date” and “Remote Keyboard”. The “ Set T ime / Date ” functions allows you to set this value from the PC T ime/Date or manually enter yourself. Select ID sets the address value of the appropriate VSI-Pro on the network you wish to up date.
66 VSI-Pro VIDEO SERIAL INTERF ACE VSIB for Thai, Korean or Chinese Languages The VSIB is a bit-mapped display device that can display Thai, Korean, or Chinese characters.
67 VSI-Pro VIDEO SERIAL INTERF ACE The ECR Interfaces are small PCBs that mount internally to the cash registers. These PCBs convert internal dat a from matrix and drum printers or thermal printers to RS-232 data. This RS-232 dat a is then connected directly to the VSI-Pro for display .
68 Figure 3H: VSI-Pro Connections with TCPIP 232 Adapter TCPIP 232 ADAPTER Interfacing the VSI-Pro to the cash register TCP/IP network requires the TCPIP 232 Adapter along with the VSI-Pro. The IP address of the cash register is programmed into the TCPIP 232 Adapter via on-screen programming.
