4.4 Camera connections

On hybrid units, connect cameras to the Video in connectors on the back of the unit using 75 ohm video coaxial cables with BNC connectors. Optionally, this signal can be looped through to other equipment via the corresponding Video out connector. The camera input connectors are auto-terminating. There is no need to add a terminator to the output connector if no additional equipment is connected.

If the camera signal is looped-through to additional equipment, make sure that the end of the video connection is terminated with 75 ohm termination.

The unit automatically configures itself as a PAL or NTSC unit. The unit determines the standard by detecting the signal format of the first connected camera (lowest camera input number).

On network units, or hybrid units with no analog cameras connected, the detection process fails and the recorder configures itself as a PAL unit. In this case, no video is visible on an NTSC monitor.

To change this behaviour select a preferred video mode during start-up.

–For PAL, press the monitor and camera 1 buttons simultaneously for ten seconds during power-up.

–For NTSC, press the monitor and camera 2 buttons simultaneously for ten seconds

during power-up.

The unit retains these manual settings on subsequent start-ups.
