Points of sales (POS) Actions enable the exchange of accompanying meta data between POS Management Systems and GeViScope/re_porter. With these actions payment processes can be documented consistently by video. The use of these actions for start and re-start of event recordings leads to the output of accompanying meta data in live video in GSCView as well as in the storage of those in the video data base. The video sequences recorded via POS Actions can easily be retrieved in GscView using the accompanying meta data und special data filter dialogs (optional) Besides the actions POSStatus and POSData for the general integration into POS Management Systems there are also POS actions which belong to special GeViScope drivers. The actions FillingPumpStatus, TerminalArticleData and TerminalPaymentData are used by the driver "HUTH". The driver "HUTH" is a GeViScope Media Plugin, which was developed by GEUTEBRÜCK, to integrate filling station management systems of the manufacturer HUTH Elektronik Systeme GmbH into GeViScope/re_porter. The driver is compatible to HUTH Video Interface T400/T450/Maxi/mini V1.2. The actions InterfaceRawData and InterfaceRawAnswer are also used by the driver "HUTH". But they only serve for debugging and fault analysis purpose. They can also be used in general for any link that the concerned action supports - respectively uses these actions. The action BarcodeData serves as a general integration of barcode scanners.
