The term multiplexer was given to an electronic device that time-multiplexes video pictures from numerous cameras onto one VCR. This means
that one field or frame from one camera was switched to the VCR, then immediately following that picture was another field or frame from another camera and so on from each camera, then it started over again. This technique
maintains full resolution as does normal video switchers but reduces the time
between recorded images so the 2-3 second dead time between normal camera switching was reduce to 17ms (milliseconds) times the number of cameras. The multiplexer electronically marks each picture with a camera number so it can be identified upon playback.
When the recorded tape is played back through the multiplex the multiplexer electronically identifies the desired picture to be viewed. When the
picture is identified the multiplexer updates the viewable image on the monitor so you only see the requested image or images if in the quad mode.
There exits three types of multiplexers in Black & White or Color; Simplex, Duplex or Full Duplex. The Simplex models are for unattended operation since they can only view switched images when the multiplexer is in the
recording mode. Duplex models allow simultaneously recording on the VCR,
while the operator can view the total number of cameras viewed at once on
the multi-screen display. Full Duplex allows the playback of a second VCR
while viewing the multi-screen display while the first VCR remains recording.
The AVE QM line of multiplexers are Black & White Simplex. They do
however have features above the standard Simplex design. The high resolution give the QM line the most advanced performance & features of any Black
& White simplex multiplexeres. The name QM stands for Quad or Multiplexer since the QM series has the ability to be a real time 60 Hz quad or
sequencing Duoquad (QM8) or a high performance simplex multiplexer. W ith
2 monitor outputs the user can be viewing the call monitor with live images
while watching the playback on an additional monitor.
For additional information on multiplexers visit the AVE website at
www.americanvideoequipment.com and click “Education”. A more detailed
white paper on multiplexer technology is available here.

8. BASIC OPERATION
In this section we will discuss the basic operation of the multiplexer without doing any
programming. We will assume the programming is at the factory default settings. There
are two basic modes of operation in the QM; namely the Record mode and the Play back
Mode.
Power Up the QM
Power up the QM after making the connections as shown in the Figure 3. The LEDs
on the RECORD and FULL buttons will be turned on which is the power up operational
mode. You will see the multiplex image on the VCR monitor indicating that the QM is
sending the Multiplex record signal to the VCR. The Call monitor will also have the multiplexed signal in case y ou are only using one monitor. T o view the call monitor sequencing
throught the live views of all cameras press “MON” and the “SEQ”. Any blinking LED on
the CAM buttons indicate that cameras’ input is not present and a video loss is detected.
6.1 Record Mode
There are 5 possible ways of recording in the QM; Multiplex, Quad, Zoom, Full
Screen, and Full Screen Sequence recording. The VCR monitor output will always show
the actual video signal going to the input of the VCR. While you are recording in any of the
above modes you can also view the full screen output of any specific camera or all the
cameras sequentially on the call monitor. To do that make sure a monitor is connected to
the MON output of the QM as shown in figure 3. See the MON mode to set this option.
Multiplex Recording / Viewing
By default the QM will power up in the multiplexed recording mode. The LED on the
RECORD and FULL buttons illuminated only indicates that the QM is sending multiplexed
images to VCR. Y ou can see the m ultiplex ed image on the VCR monitor also . You can
also activate this mode by pressing the “RECORD” button any time. If you want to see any
specific camera on your call monitor , press the MON button then press the “CAM #”
(where # is the number of camera you want to view). If you want to automatically sequence
through all the cameras, press the SEQ button. The LEDs on the MON, SEQ, and
RECORD button will be on, while the LEDs on the CAM buttons will be ON sequentially
and will remain ON for the amount of time set in SEQUENCE DWELL . See the programming section to set the sequence timing. If you connect a separate monitor on the “VCR”
output then you can view the multiplex ed image on that monitor . If y ou desire to view the
multiplex ed recording image on the call monitor, press the RECORD button.
Warning: When the MON LED is off you can change the recording output signal to the
VCR. The normal mode of multiplexed recording is when the FULL LED is on. If this is off
then either one camera or a sequence of cameras is being recorded as in a normal video
switcher .
Page 14

Quad or Duoquad Recording/Viewing
T o record the real time quad image press the “RECORD” button. In this mode you will
now be able to change the recording signal to the VCR. If you are only using a call monitor you
will be viewing the same as the VCR monitor output. Press the “QUAD” button and you will
be viewing cameras 1-4 in quad mode. If using a QM8, press again to view camera 5-8. If you
want to sequence between the two quads in the QM8 press the “SEQ” button. The sequence
dwell time will be the same as the camera sequencing dwell setting. Remember, none of the
above modes records in the multiplex recording mode, press “RECORD” at any time to go
back to the normal QM multiplexed record mode.
Full Screen Recording/Viewing
T o record just one camera’s output press the “RECORD” button. In this mode you will
now be able to change the recording signal to the VCR. If you are only using a call monitor
you will be viewing the same as the VCR monitor output. Press the “CAM#” button for the
camera images you want to record at this time. The LED on the RECORD, FULL and
CAM # button will be turned on. If you want to view a different camera on call monitor press
the “MON” button followed by the “CAM#”. If you want to view all cameras sequentially
press the “MON” followed by the “SEQ” button. This is a digital sequencing mode and all
cameras are time base corrected. That means there will be no monitor roll and no interruption on the recorded VCR signal between camera switching. Remember, none of the
above modes records in the multiplex recording mode, press “RECORD” at any time to go
back to the normal QM multiplexed record mode.
Sequential Full Screen Recording/Viewing
T o record a sequencing full screen output press the “RECORD” button. In this mode
you will now be able to change the recording signal to the VCR. If you are only using a call
monitor you will be viewing the same as the VCR monitor output. In this mode you will now
be able to change the recording signal to the VCR. If you want to record all cameras
sequentially press the “SEQ” button. See the programming section for changing the camera dwell. This is a digital sequencing mode and all cameras are time base corrected.
That means there will be no monitor roll and no interruption on the recorded VCR signal
between camera switching. Remember, this mode does not record in the multiplex recording mode, press “RECORD” at any time to go back to the normal QM record mode.
Zoom Recording/Viewing
T o record or view the 2X zoom of any camera input on the VCR monitor press the
“RECORD” button. In this mode you will now be able to change the recording signal to the
VCR. If you are only using a call monitor you will be viewing the same as the VCR monitor
output. In this mode you will now be able to change the recording signal to the VCR. Now
press the ZOOM button, the LED on ZOOM, FULL, and RECORD will be ON. Now press
“LEFT”, “RIGHT”, “UP” or “DOWN” button to set the position of the zoom. Y ou can then
select what camera to zoom via the “CAM#” buttons. Y ou can not record the multiplexed
output on the VCR while you are using the zoom mode. The zoomed picture goes to the
input of the VCR for recording. T o exit out of zoom mode press the ZOOM button again.
Page 15

6.2 Play Back Mode
The multiplexed-recorded cassette tape can be viewed in quad, duoquad, full screen,
and zoom mode or as the actual images coming from the VCR. The default of the QM is to
display the playback on both monitors in the quad mode. If you desire to use the VCR
monitor for playback while the Call monitor is displaying something else refer to MON
programming.
Quad Mode
To view the multiplexed-recorded tape in the Quad mode, first press the “PLAY”
button on your VCR. Now on the QM press the “PLAY” button. LEDs on PLAY and
QUAD buttons will be ON and a Quad image will appear on the VCR and Call monitor
screens. If you are using QM8 then pressing the Quad button again will toggle between
the quad image of cameras 1 to 4 or cameras 5 to 8. If you are in the full screen playback mode and wish to view in the quad mode just press the “QUAD” button.
Full Screen Mode
The multiplexed-recorded tape can also be viewed in the full screen mode. To play
the full screen mode press the “PLAY” and then the “FULL” button on your QM. The
camera full screen will be the one previously selected. You can now select the camera
number that you want to view in the full screen mode. You may also go directly from
pressing the “PLAY” button to pressing the desired CAM# to select the full screen playback of that camera. In this mode the LEDs on PLAY and FULL button will be on along
with the respective LED above the selected camera.
Zoom Mode
To view the multiplexed-recorded tape in the zoom mode press the “PLAY” and
“ZOOM” buttons. The camera full screen will be the one previously selected or press
the “CAM #” whose image you want to view in zoom mode. The lights on ZOOM, FULL,
and PLAY will be on along with the CAM# LED you selected. Use “UP”, “DOWN”,
“LEFT”, and “RIGHT” buttons to select the zoom position. You may zoom directly from the
quad display mode and again the camera selected will be the previous camera full selected and zoomed.

Set Recording Speed by External or Internal Trigger
Trigger In
The camera switcher or CS pulse output of a VCR triggers when the VCR is recording an image. Some VCRs record the image while their VCR tape is stopped, therefore
the tape moves directly after the pulse is issued. Some VCR record while the tape is
moving. This pulse when supplied to the QM will initiate the unit to go to the next camera in the multiplexer sequence and output to the VCR until the next CS pulse comes in.
If the CS pulse goes away during the process then the QM will continue to play the
image until it receives the pulse. Some VCRs output a CS pulse while in the Time lapse
record mode but when in the real time 2 hour mode this pulse is not available. If the CS
pulse is not recieved by the QM within 30 secs the QM will assume a 2 hour record
speed and switch accordingly .
The following figure show the relationship between the CS Pulse In to video output
of the QM. Figure 12 shows the pin out information from remote control port to the
VCR.

Tr igger Out
The QM trigger output gives a signal to the VCR to record the current image
immediately because the multiplexer is switching to the next camera in the sequence.
The following figure showed the relation between the output pulse and the input camera.
To activate that option you need to make sure that “EXT Trigger” is on OFF position. For turning that OFF repeat step 1 through 5 again and make sure to select “OFF”
in step number 3 instead of “ON”.
After making the connection shown in Figure 12 and turning “ OFF” the EXT Trigger
you can now control the VCR recording speed via QM.

Figure 14: Set by Field Interval Menu.
When setting the Normal Record or Alarm Mode of the QM the follow is a description of the functions. When you set by hour this assumes the VCR is recording a pre
determined number of pictures per second on the tape. In real time mode all VCRs
record 60 pictures per second, the NTSC standard. In the Virtual Real time mode most
VCRs record 20 pictures per second however it is possible for this to be improved in the
future. In the time lapse mode of 24 hours and above for standard density recording most
VCRs record 5 pictures per second. When using double or triple density VCRs this is
either doubled or tripled to 10 or 15 picturs per second. If you choose to set the QM by field
rate interval the same will be true only this menu breaks down the time computation to
number of fields rather than recording time. Since each field takes 17 ms to complete you
are actually programming by time also just using a multiple of 17
ms between pictures. Make sure you understand the recording pictures per second of
your VCR to issue the best performance of the QM multiplexer. To eliminate all the above
use the VCR camera switcher pulse which automatically controls the QM to record at the
best possible picture rate.

7.6 Alarm Record Mode
Alarm recording is one of the most powerful feature of QM. QM upon receiving the
Alarm input the user can change the recording speed, i.e. if QM recording speed is on
Time Lapse can be change to Real Time ( or any other selected speed). If no selection
is made for the speed then QM by default switch the recording speed to Real Time
recording. When a particular camera is alarmed that cameras recording rate is doubled
to capture more information from the alarmed camera.
The following menu will pop up on screen when Alarm Record mode is selected.
