CONNECTING MULTIPLE PMVC4 UNITS
Remember, when cascading PMVC4s, loop from the multiviewer with a lower ID to the multiviewer with a higher ID. Also, the following
additional steps are required when connecting multiple units.
1. Use a flat head screwdriver on the rotary Unit ID switch to set the ID of the first multiviewer in the display group to 0. This identifies it in the
software as the first multiviewer. Change the ID of every additional multiviewer in the group by increments of one; for example, the next
multiviewer will have an ID of 1. Do not use F, which is for testing only.
2. Connect a 10-inch (25.4-centimeter) DB9 serial cable from COM OUT on unit 0 to COM IN on the next unit, which is unit 1. Repeat until you
reach the last unit in the group.
3. Connect a DVI looping cable from Cascade/In on unit 0 to Cascade/DVI Out on the next unit, which is unit 1. Repeat until you reach the last
unit in the group.

CONNECTING A SINGLE PMVR2
1. Connect any DVI inputs (such as from a VMX300 video management system) to the DVI 1 and 2 connectors or any VGA inputs (such as from
a DX8000 series digital video recorder) to the VGA 1 and 2 connectors on the back of the PMVR2.
NOTE: You can have either DVI or VGA, but not both on the same channel. However, you can have DVI and VGA if you put them on
different channels; for example, DVI on DVI 1 and VGA on VGA 2.
2. Connect the male end of the 6-foot (1.8-meter) DB9 serial cable to COM IN on the PMVC4. Connect the other end (with the RS-232-to-
RS-485 converter) to the PC’s COM port.
3. Connect either a DVI looping cable from Cascade/DVI Out or a VGA looping cable from VGA Out to the display monitor.

CONNECTING BOTH PMVC4 AND PMVR2 UNITS
In cascading PMVC4 multiviewers with PMVR2 multiviewers, remember to loop from a multiviewer with the lower ID to a multiviewer with a
higher ID. Begin with PMVC4 multiviewers and then PMVR2 multiviewers. Follow the instructions for connecting multiple units.

the desktop.
3. Locate the Pelco Multiviewer Manager shortcut on the desktop. Click it to launch the application. The program displays the Scan All Online
Modules dialog box.
Click Next. If the software does not find anything, it will not let you go further. Click Rescan in this situation to make sure the software can
detect all your multiviewers.

4. The program displays the Set Total Monitor dialog box, which determines how many display groups you have.
Figure 7. Set Total Monitor Dialog Box
•
•
Set the number of monitors (up to 50 monitors). You must set this first.
If you click the Auto Set check box, the program will quickly set up a single group or multiple groups. (If you do not click the Auto Set
check box, the program will bypass steps 6 and 7. Skip the following instructions and go directly to Step 8.)
•
•
Choose either to have one multiviewer per group or all multiviewers in one group. Pick the resolution you want. Select the space
between windows, and then click the Open MCC Label check box.
Click Back to return or Next to continue.
5. The program displays the Set Up All Groups dialog box, which shows the monitor and group for that monitor.

•
Leave the No VGA Overlay box checked in the Attach VGA Monitor section. Select the output resolution.
Select the multiviewers you want to include in the group by clicking their checkboxes. Use the Include and Remove buttons to
add/remove the desired multiviewers.
•
Click Back to return or Next to continue. When you complete the last monitor, click Back to return to the monitor or Finish to continue.
6. The program displays the Report dialog box, which confirms the selected multiviewers and their identifications (IDs). The Report dialog box
also indicates whether a VGA monitor is attached and the number of multiviewers (modules) in the group. Click Cancel or OK.

Pelco Multiviewer Manager program file, delete the Save file, and begin again.
Step 3: Configuring the Equipment
PELCO MULTIVIEWER MANAGER SOFTWARE
The Pelco Multiviewer Manager (PMM) software is required to configure and control the multiviewers. This included program gives you access
to system level commands, group level commands, and window level commands through the Pelco Monitor Manager window.
Use the pull-down menu to select between system level (overview) or group level control.
COMMAND AREAS
•
•
•
System Level and Group Level: These menus (File, Program, and Tools) display system level and group level commands. System level
commands are program features that make system-wide changes. Group level commands affect only the group currently being controlled.
Group Level Only: These menus only display group level commands. Access these by right-clicking the mouse while the cursor is in the
black background area, outside a video window.
Window Level Only: These menus only display commands at the video window level. Access these by right-clicking the mouse while the
cursor is in a video window. Window level commands affect the selected video window only.
For detailed information on configuring the equipment, refer to the manual on the included resource CD.
