AUDIO SETUP
The DX8100 server supports two audio configurations: standard audio and optional expanded audio. Both of these configurations allow you to
configure individual camera channels to listen to and record live audio. You can monitor live audio at a local server or listen to live audio from a
remote DX8100 server or client system. You can play back audio recorded by a camera channel. For information about listening to live audio at
the server or client system, refer to Using the KBD300A Keyboard on page 66.
NOTE: Live audio is not supported for IP cameras.
Standard audio input: The DX8100 provides two standard audio inputs: Line In (stereo), Mic In (mono), and one audio output. The
standard audio inputs are available by default if the optional audio option card is not installed. If the optional audio card is installed, the
standard audio inputs are disabled.
The standard audio connections are described as follows:
Line In (stereo): A 2-channel stereo input (left and right channel) allows you to connect up to two external audio sources. You can
assign a specific camera to record video in association with each audio channel. For example, you can assign camera 2 to the left audio
channel and camera 32 to the right audio channel.
Mic In: Accepts one audio input. You can assign one camera to record video in association with the audio input.
Audio output: Allows you to connect an audio output device, such as an amplifier, to listen to recorded video and audio
simultaneously.
Optional expanded audio input: To use the DX8100 expanded audio feature, the optional DX8100-AUD audio card must be installed. You can
determine if the audio card is installed by checking the Audio option status in the Channel Information section of the Camera page. The
Audio status is one of the following:
Not installed: If the optional audio card is not installed, the Advanced button in the Audio Settings area is available.
Installed (enabled): If the optional audio card is installed, the Advanced button in the Audio Settings area is not available.
The DX8100 compresses audio data to save space. In this case, recorded audio that may not be of the same quality as live audio. Consult your
Pelco sales representative for more information regarding the DX8100-AUD option.
