Procash 8000

Subject to license

This plugin enables a connection to be made between the new Wincor Nixdorf GAAs Procash 8000 and the Geutebrück systems. In contrast to GAA connections up until now, these GAAs feature two integrated USB cameras that are made available by the Wincor Nixdorf software 'Optical Security Interface' as IP cameras via a network.

The data connection will continue to be implemented via the serial interface and is therefore handled by GSCCOM or Multicom in the normal way. The plugin takes care of the transfer of video data.

The basis for implementation is provided in the document 'Optical Security Interface, User Manual, Edition January 2011' by WINCOR NIXDORF International GmbH.

The software from Wincor Nixdorf differentiates between two cameras: portrait and slot camera. The parameters for these cameras are set via the Wincor Nixdorf Services initialisation file 'optical_security.conf'. Mong other functions, this features settings for the resolution, for the compression quality, and for the frame rate.

The following values are set by default:

  • Resolution: auto; full, half, third, quarter, and auto are permitted

  • Compression quality: 85; values between 1 and 100 are permitted

  • Frame rate: 2 fps; values between 0.1 and 4 fps are permitted

The parameters for both cameras may be set independently from one another. Please see the additional information in the OSI user handbook from Wincor Nixdorf.

Note that the portrait is always active by default, while the slot camera is switched on during the transaction by default.

During PIN entry, the slot camera switches off automatically; only a black image is transmitted during this time!

For GeViScope, integration has been implemented in the form of an IP camera plugin. Following one of the next release versions, this plugin will be a components of the installation package. In the meantime, it needs to be installed manually.

Installation

The plugin consists of two files: Procash8000IPC.dll and Procash8000IPCDialog.dlg.

If the plugin is not included in the scope of installation with delivery, please copy both files (Procash8000IPC.dll and Procash8000IPCDialog.dlg) to the plugin directory of G-Core (C:\Program Files\Geutebrueck\GCore\MediaPlugins).

The G-Core server service must then be restarted.
