I
NTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing Advanced Technology Video’s QSP-660 four camera Real Time Quad. This
instruction manual describes the powerful features of this product for basic and advanced operation. It also
covers the installation steps that will allow quick and easy integration into your security system.
The following section provides an overview of the operational features of the QSP-660. If you are familiar with
the QSP-660, you should proceed to the
instructions.
O
PERATIONAL FEATURES DESCRIPTION
Live Camera Displays
The QSP-660 is initially in the Live Camera Display mode whenever power is applied to the unit. Live cameras
can be displayed in quad, PIP, dual PIP, split screen, squish screen, or full frame formats. In addition, any
display can be frozen using a front panel button, the IR remote control, or external signal input. In any of these
display modes, the unit can be programmed to sequence one or more cameras with a programmable dwell
time.
Getting Started
section on page 4 for step-by-step installation
DigiLock
In VCR playback mode, digital information is used to compensate for the poor vertical synchronization signals
frequently encountered with time lapse VCRs.
The QSP-660 DigiLock decoding reconstructs the timing so that successfully decoded frames are read into
monitor display memory consistently without any jumping, tearing, or other side-effects of poor synchronization.
VCR Bypass
Many VCRs have on-screen programming menus that require a monitor for programming the VCR. The QSP660 includes a VCR Bypass feature that facilitates VCR programming by allowing the QSP-660 VCR input
(VCR’s video output) to be routed directly to the display monitor.
Advanced Alarm System with Alarm Scheduling
The QSP-660 contains the most advanced and flexible Alarm System available in a video real time quad. The
QSP-660 Advanced Alarm System supports External Alarms and Video Loss Alarms. In addition, the QSP-660
alarm system can be enabled and disabled through a 7-day Alarm Schedule and/or a user programmable
external Master Enable signal.
The QSP-660 has four alarm channels associated with the four camera inputs. Each alarm channel includes a
programmable external alarm and Video Loss Alarm. External alarm inputs are individually selectable for
contact closure or opening as well as logic levels (+5V, 0V). Each alarm channel may also be individually
selected for enable/disable through the QSP-660 Alarm Schedule. The Alarm Schedule is a 7-day timer
schedule with a single ON and OFF time associated with each day of the week. The QSP-660 also has an
external input signal that can be selected between picture Freeze and Alarm Master Enable. The Alarm Master
Enable signal can be used in conjunction with your burglar alarm control panel so that the alarm control panel
can enable or disable the QSP-660 alarm system. For more information on “Alarm Scheduling” see page 13.
and Playback
Alarm Log and Printing
The QSP-660 has an internal Alarm Log that provides storage for up to 100 alarm events. In addition, its text
can be transmitted to the serial port for printing or storage on a host computer. The Alarm Log is a circular
storage buffer so that the most recent alarm events are always stored. Alarm event text can also be sent directly
to the serial port, when an event occurs, for immediate printing or external processing. Alarm events, which may
be printed and stored in the Alarm Log, include any enabled External Alarms or Video Loss Alarms. For
instructions on the use of the QSP-660 alarm log and printing features see “Alarm Log” on page 15.

Installation Steps
The following steps should be followed to ensure proper connection and set up of your QSP-660.
A diagram showing the overall connection configuration of the QSP-660 is shown above.
The installation steps are:
1. Connect your cameras, monitor, and VCR (if recording is necessary) to the QSP-660. Refer to
the “Back Panel Connections” and “Video Line Termination Switches” section on page 5 for
proper connections and switch settings for your particular installation.
2. Power up the QSP-660, then enter the QSP-660 set up menus by pressing and holding the

starting on page 9 for detailed information.
The four-camera input BNC connectors are labeled LOOP and the factory default configuration is 75 ohm
termination ON. One DIP switch and three jumpers inside the unit (see section below) determine whether each
inputs’ 75 ohm termination is ON or OFF.
Connect the QSP-660 VCR IN to the video output of the VCR and the QSP-660 VCR OUT to the video input of
the VCR. The alarm connector is a standard DB-15, which will mate with the included alarm wire adapter board
or standard computer-type cable. See page 18 for further alarm connection information.
