VSI-Pro Max

The VSI-Pro Max is the latest in the evolution of the popular VSI line of POS / Cash Register Interfaces from AVE. The VSI-Pro Max, now with larger memory space can hold ALL the AVE Interfaces in one unit with full remote PC or DVR programming for selection and setups and onsite firmware updating. New video processing circuitry allows use with new WDR cameras and low video of commonly used UTP adapters. Built in RS-232, RS-485, Passive and the new Opto-Isolated selection, gives complete isolation from the POS/Cash Register from the video system. Internal 40 Mhz operation allows for combining the Networking functions of the Hydra, Regcom, Networker or Vnetworker within one convenient unit with looping RJ45s for a seemless solution for multiple till configuration.

The VSI-Pro is an excellent tool for controlling inventory shrinkage and loss prevention. When interfaced between a cash register and DVR, it overlays the register’s transaction data onto the video picture to get the complete picture of every transaction. It’s 24 programmable exceptions provide on-screen alerts, making the finding of suspicious transactions fast and simple. When used in conjunction with the AVE line of DVRs, remote or local search can be done for any transaction, amount or T/D.

VSI-Pro Dual
 

The VSI-Pro Dual is more professional method of installation when using two VSI-Pro for one installation with a single power supply. This unit can have 2 PC VSI-Pro or one VSI-Pro and one VSIB. Rear connections are the same as the VSI-Pro and all standard cables are compatible.

VSI-Pro Mini and Mini RG
 

VSI-Pro Mini and Mini RG maintain all The RS232 VSI-Pro features and and all features of RG2RS. The board is designed on compact size and cost effectiveness. This is only offered as PCB level for OEM integration.

| Manual |

VSIB
 

The VSIB is an additional box used only with the VSI-Pro to display Chinnese (Big5), Korean or Thai language characters. Since a bitmapped programmable font set, it can be configured for any language so contact the factory for additional language support.

| Manual |

VSI-Special (VSI-Radar)

The VSI-Special is a stand alone text inserter that will insert the speed readings of most Radar or Laser Speed guns, GPS, Card Readers, G-Force Detectors, Alcohol Breathilyzers, scales, coin counters and laptops into the video picture of a standard video camera. The VSI-Special has a video in which comes from the camera and a video output that goes to the recording or display device.

RegCom

  The Regcom is an interface device that allows the connection of multiple cash register terminals to a master unit for the purpose of transaction logging. The Regcom is a “slave” device and can connect directly to a VSI-Pro, Interface Adapter, P2RS, TCP232 or ECR card. One master device called the “Hydra” can be connected to a maximum of 16 slave devices.

| Manual |

RegCom Pro / DS-20-OF RegCom Pro

  The RegCom Pro is simply a VSI-Pro Max without any On-Screen Display (OSD) or front panel programming buttons. All programming and setup must be done via a laptop via RS-232 or an AVE DVR support programming functions. Since no OSD the text overlay must be done by an AVE or 3rd Party Compatible DVR via the exported or networked data by the RegCom Pro.

Hydra

The Hydra is an interface device that allows the connection of multiple cash register terminals using the Regcom/Networker/Vnetworker slave units for the purpose of transaction logging.The Hydra receives RS-485 data from the Regcom/Networker/ Vnetworker networks and converts this to an RS-232 format that DVRs or the VSI-Pro can read.

| Manual |

 

Networker

The RS-485 Networker is designed to convert the RS-232 serial port output of the VSI-Pro to be a poll / select network. This allows the exceptions or all the data to be collected by one computer or DVR for up to 64 VSI-Pros.

| Manual |Software |

   

Vnetworker

The Vnetworker connects inbetween a VSI-Pro and the Cash Register via RS-232. The Vnetworker is similar to the Networker and Regcom which take the RS-232 data and put it on a common RS-485 network and send back to a DVR or PC. This network supports up to 64 Vnetworkers. The Vnetworker is an enhanced version of the Networker and is able to program the VSI-Pro remotely along with gathering the transaction or exception data. The VSI-Pro must be Ver. 13.00 or 13.24 and Release 12 or higher. Any VSI-Pro Ver. 13.00 or 13.24 can be upgraded with a uP software change for the hardware of the VSI-Pro remains the same.

IF and TPIF ECR Cards

Some lower cost ECR cash registers have built in printers and very few external ports for extracting the transaction data. In these cases the AVE line of ECR PCBs are mounting internally to the ECR to convert the printer data to RS-232. This RS-232 data can be connected to the VSI-Pro or directly to the DVR.

| Manual | | VSI Installation |

   

P2RS

The P-2-RS coverts high speed parallel data to serial data and sends the data out through the RS-232 port to the VSI-Pro which overlays this data onto video and exports to the DVR. Available with DB25 or Centronics Cables in Tap or Emulate modes.

| Manual |

RG2RS

The RG2RS Radar Gun Interface converts older model Radar Guns without RS-232 data ports to RS-232 via connection to remote displays or internal wiring.

DB9, DB15, DB25 Breakerout PCBs 

These breakouts are available for both male and female DSUB connectors to break the DSUB connection to screwed terminal connector.  Just strip to bare wires and connect to the terminal and tighten it by a  mini screwdriver

Cables

AVE Thailand has provided a complete cable selection to AVE's product line. This makes for simple intallations.

   
   

Opto232 

The Opto232 is a miniature Optically Isolated RS-232 converter used to isolate POS / Cash Register grounds from the video system when using the VSI-Pro or Text Insertion DVRs. When used with the VSI-Pro the Opto232 is powered by the VSI-Pro so no external power supply is required. If data is to be sent back to the POS/Cash Register or any other device, the Opto232 is jumper selectable to be powered by the register or use a user supplied external power supply.

TCPIP 232 Adapter standalone or with VSI-Pro / VSI-Pro Max 

TCPIP232 Interface is designed to capture transactions on a LAN system then convert captured transactions to serial port to interface with VSI-Pro / VSI-Pro Max or AVE line or DVRs or 3rd party compatible ones which supports text search and text insertion. Multiple TCPIP232 adapters can work on the AVE RS-485 Network like RegComs simplifying installation and connections.
