Axxon PSIM™ software supports synchro video and audio recording and remote audio monitoring.

To enable operation of the audio subsystem, the Operator Workstation is to be equipped with optional equipment, such as audio cards, microphones, loud speakers and earphones.

Supported audio cards and other audio input devices 

The following audio input devices can be used in the audio subsystem:

  1. Standard audio cards installed in a computer or integrated into motherboards of computers.
  2. Multi-channel audio cards such as Comart Hera, MidiMan Delta and Olkha 9P.
  3. Ekholot USB-32, an external module for multi-channel audio signal input (32 channels).
  4. Audio input channels of the network devices.
  5. Audio input channels of FS/WS cards. As these cards do not have audio output channels for playing back the audio signal, an audio card is to be installed.

Options for increasing the number of audio input channels when standard audio cards are in use

Axxon PSIM™-based Server can process as many analog audio signals as specified in the license key.

As a rule a standard audio card has only one stereo audio input channel. To increase the number of audio input channels, the following options are offered:

  1. Use a stereo audio input channel of a standard sound card as two independent mono-channels.
  2. Use audio input channels of video capture cards.

  3. Install several standard audio cards on the Server.

    Note

    Several audio cards of the same type installed within the system may cause conflicts in Windows OS.

  4. Use multi-channel audio input cards (special audio cards support up to 16 independent audio input channels).
  5. Use Ekholot USB-32, an external module for multi-channel audio signal input (32 channels).

Installing audio input devices

Information on how to install third-party audio cards and the drivers for them, as well as any other devices is given in the documentation bundled with specified equipment.

Sound channels of the network devices do not require any additional installation. The only requirement is that the device supports communication with the Server via the TCP/IP protocol.

Installing microphones and loud speakers

Microphones are to be installed in inaccessible places, ensuring unobstructed receipt of audio signals. Each microphone is connected to an audio card installed in a computer or to an audio connector on a video capture card.

Loud speakers or earphones designed for audio signal receipt are installed in the Operator Workstation. Loud speakers or earphones are connected to the audio output connector of the audio card.

The layouts of connectors for connecting microphones and earphones or loud speakers are given in the documentation bundled with audio cards.

Connectors bundled with a video capture card are used to connect microphones to these video capture cards.
