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.

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.
