ENGLISH
Multiplexers TP are devices, which enable recording
and decoding of up to 16 TV signals (cameras) on the
VCR. They also offer the simultaneous displaying of
all cameras on a divided screen in a number of displaying formats – views.
The multiplexers have two digital channels. The main
channel is used for LIVE display or for playback of
recorded pictures. The recording channel is used only
for recording.
The multiplexers have RS 485 and the CAN interface,
which enables to control the telemetry receivers used
for controlling the PAN/TILT camera heads and zoom
lenses.
For optimum camera recording on VCR it is possible
to use the activity detector. The activity detector enables to affect the camera recording or displaying cameras with detected motion.
The multiplexers have not only a digital channel, but
also an analogue channel, which contains a sequential switcher with the programmable order and time of
cameras switching. The spot channel is used even for
manual controlling from the main panel.

ENGLISH
The external devices (PAN/TILT camera heads,
lenses) are connected to the multiplexer using the RS
485 and the CAN interface. The devices are connected with shielded twisted pair cable.
Basic connection of two devices on the CAN bus is
shown at figure 4. (Connection of the multiplexer and
the telemetry receiver TC is used as the example).
Length of the CAN bus can be 1000 m at maximum
and both ends of the bus must be terminated with
120 W resistor.

EXTERNAL KEYBOARD
The external keyboard enables remote controlling of
other external equipment (multiplexers, PAN/TILT
camera heads, lenses) connected to the CAN bus.
You can connect several external keyboards to CAN
bus and control different or the same devices. During
controlling of one device by several keyboards you
are able to operate controlled device by another keyboard five seconds after the last command of the pre-
vious keyboard (it is not possible to control one device
from two keyboards at the same time).
MULTIPLEXERS NETWORKING
Using the external keyboard and auxiliary video
switcher you can simply control several multiplexers
from one external keyboard. So it is possible to control
a group of multiplexers or cameras and watch their
outputs on one monitor. You can use a multiplexer
sequential switcher instead of a video switcher. At
fig. 8 you can see the use of the multiplexer no. 3
analogue sequential switcher as an auxiliary video
switcher. Video outputs of multiplexers no. 1 and 2
lead to video inputs 1 and 2 of the multiplexer no. 3.
For example, when the external keyboard starts to
control multiplexer no. 2, it also sends a command to
the multiplexer no. 3 to display output of the multiplexer no. 2 to the monitor. You can use the unused
video inputs of the multiplexer no. 3 for recording or
displaying on a divided monitor screen.

MENU - VIDEORECORDER
Set up the type and working modes of the VCR in this
menu. For the correct recording function it is important
to ensure that the VCR and multiplexer work in the
same mode. You can also define the type of the connection between the VCR and the multiplexer with the
help of AUX input.
VCR TYPE
Set up your VCR type here. If your VCR type is not
mentioned here, use an analogous type or choose a
user defined VCR and set up the working VCR modes
in the menu User defined VCR (see page 7).
VCR MODE
Time-lapse VCRs can work in several working modes.
You can set the topical working mode of the VCR by
the choice of the line of 1 to 10. The working mode of
the VCR can also be set up with the help of macro or
AUX input on the alarm connector (see page 8).
USER DEFINED VCR
Time-lapse VCRs do not have only common recording
speed in real time (50 or 60 fields per second), but
also extended modes. These modes extend the recording time from 3 hours (using the E180 cassette) to
12, 24, 48, 72, 96, 120, 168, 240, 480 or 960 hours.
These recording times are different at various types of
VCRs. This longer recording time is attainable by
omitting some fields during recording. The parameter
DELAY sets up intervals between recorded fields in
this menu.

AUX INPUT
AUX input is used for delivering information from the
VCR to the multiplexer. Set up the required function.
Normally open / closed – specify AUX input activity
in an inactive state
Not used – the AUX input is not used
Switch VCR to the minimal mode – the VCR informs
the multiplexer that under the influence of some situation (for example alarm condition) it records in the
highest speed (in the real time mode). Multiplexer
must adapt itself to the VCR speed.
End of tape indication – the VCR informs that a tape
is at the end. The multiplexer displays the note about
this situation for the operator on the screen.
VCR recording pulses – it is the function of recording
mode synchronised from the VCR. Some VCRs have
a signal with recording pulses (normally marked as
SW OUT or CLK OUT) leaded on the back panel,
which determines the VCR recording speed. This
signal can be used for the synchronisation of recording between the VCR and the multiplexer. If the
operator switches the recording speed on the VCR or
the recording speed is changed by the influence of the
alarm signal on the VCR, the multiplexer changes its
recording speed automatically.
Start record – if the AUX input activity is detected,
multiplexer starts the recording automatically.
MENU - CAMERA
Set up camera parameters of recording, displaying,
activity detection, sequential switching and telemetry
in this menu.
RECORDED CAMERAS
By marking the lines choose the cameras, which will
be recorded to the VCR after the recording is switched
on. If you choose the line Autodetect cameras, the
multiplexer finds out, which cameras are in operation
at the moment and marks them in the table.

ENGLISH
SEQUENCE
The menu SEQUENCE programmes the order and
time of the displaying (switching) of particular cameras
on analogue switching output (MON SPOT) or in LIVE
mode on main monitor. You can program from 2 up to
32 switching steps of the sequence. The individual
steps are marked with sequential numbers and are
arranged one under the other. If you want to choose
the camera or time of some step, you have to choose
the particular step with the help of direction keys up
and down at first. Then press the button ®
(CHOOSE) and now you can change the camera
number with the help of arrow keys. By another pressing the button (NEXT) you can go to edit the time. The
time of this step can be set up in the interval from 1 up
to 255 seconds. The next press of the button ® finishes the editing of the chosen step. The last two
steps of the menu obtain the functions for the change
of the sequence length: adding a new step (ADD
NEW STEP) and deleting the last sequence step
(DELETE LAST STEP). By pressing the button ¬
(END) you can stop the editing of the sequence and
return to the camera menu.
TIME MULTIPLIER
If you would like to change the camera switching time,
it is not always necessary to reprogram the switching
sequence. All the time data of the sequence are multiplied with the parameter TIME MULTIPLIER. The
time of the displaying of particular cameras can be
quite lengthened or shortened and the proportion of
displaying particular steps (cameras) still lasts. It is
important to note that the time of displaying one step
after the change will still stay in interval of 1 to 255
seconds.
There is an illustrated example in the table, how the
switching time changes according to the programmed
switching sequence “Sequence time”, if you use the
time multiplier 8× or 1/4×.
CAMERA TITLES
Each camera can have its own title for better identification. The title can include up to 16 symbols and
there can be used letters from A to Z, numerals from
0 to 9, symbols . , : ! ? ‘ + - * / ( ) < > = and a space.
TELEMETRY ADDRESSES
The address of the telemetry receiver can be defined
in the interval from 0 up to 255 for controlling the
PAN/TILT camera heads and lenses for each camera.
The multiplexer, with the help of this address, distinguishes particular devices, which are connected to the
RS 485 or CAN bus. If a camera does not have the
receiver address set up, you can not switch on the
telemetry for the camera.
PICTURE PARAMETERS
Colour multiplexers enable setting of picture parameters for every camera. Implicit values are: 110 for
brightness, 64 for contrast, and 64 for colour. You are
not allowed to set colours if using B&W multiplexers.Using a B&W camera set colour to “B&W”. The
camera displaying will be sped up.

MENU – ALARM
10 TP4MD/CD / TP10MD/CD / TP16MD/CD
ENGLISH
The alarm outputs and inputs characteristics, the reactions to alarm, the activity detection or the video
signal lost are set up in this menu.
ALARM INPUTS
You can set up the activity of the any alarm input and
its influence to the alarm output (relay).
INPUT TYPE
Not used - signal is ignored on this output
Closed - input is normally closed (active if open)
Open - input is normally open (active if closed)
OUTPUT
Yes - alarm input influences the alarm output (relay)
No - alarm input does not influence the alarm output
(relay)
DWELL TIME
The length of alarm reaction to the impulse on the
alarm input can be set up from 1 up to 99 seconds
there. If you set up the function FOLLOW INPUT,
alarm will be active during the time of lasting the alarm
signal on the alarm input.
RECORDING
The recording to VCR can be modified, if the alarm is
detected. For setting up the changes the following
menu is used:
Alarm inputs - marking the line, the alarm inputs will
influence recording.
Activity detector - if you mark this line, the activity
detector will influence recording.
Alarmed cameras only - only the cameras with the
alarm detection will be recorded during the alarm lasting. The source of the alarm can be either from the
alarm inputs or from the activity detector.
Selected alarmed cameras only - only the cameras
with the alarm detection, which are also selected for
recording, will be recorded during the alarm condition
(see the menu Recorded cameras on page 13).
Even unselected alarmed cameras - all cameras will
be recorded during the alarm condition, either the
ones with the alarm detection or the ones chosen for
recording.
Cameras interleaving – the cameras with the alarm
detection will be interleaved into the normally recorded cameras.
For example: Cameras 1, 2, 3, 4 are chosen for recording and the alarm is detected on the cameras 6
and 7. The recording sequence will be as following:
1, 6, 7, 2, 6, 7, 3, 6, 7, 4, 6, 7, 1, 6, 7 etc
PLAYBACK
You can choose, whether the alarm signals and activity detection will influence the displaying during the
playback or not.

ENGLISH
DISPLAY
When the alarm is detected, the camera with the last
activated alarm can be switched into the full screen
mode or the alarm cameras on the main or spot channel can cycle according to the prepared period.
RELAY CONTACTS
Controlling an alarm output is displayed in the following menu.
Normally open/closed – this function defines the
situation of the relay without alarm.
Follow record – if this function is selected, the relay
is active during the recording, functions below than
have no meaning.
No reaction to alarm – no reaction to alarm inputs.
Follow input – active during the alarm lasting on any
of the inputs.
Switch on XX seconds – active for the time from 1 to
99 seconds since the last alarm activation.
No reaction to camera fail – no reaction to the video
signal lost.
Switch on XX seconds – active for the time from 1 to
99 seconds since the camera signal fails.
No reaction to activity detector – activity detector
does not influence alarm output.
Switch on XX seconds – active for the time from 1 to
99 seconds since the last activity detection.
SPEAKER

MENU – ACTIVITY DETECTOR
12 TP4MD/CD / TP10MD/CD / TP16MD/CD
ENGLISH
Multiplexers TP have the activity detector, which enables to detect the motion in the images of connected
cameras and can influence multiplexer activities.
SENSITIVITY
The level of sensitivity can be set up for each camera
in this menu. It controls how sensitively the cameras
should react to the image changes. The levels can be
set up in the interval from 1 to 10. The lower values
(lower sensitivity) are suitable for outdoor cameras
with the wide range of lighting changes and the higher
sensitivity for indoor cameras with constant lighting.
LIGHT-SENSITIVITY MATRIX
The area, in which the activity detector will explore the
image changes, can be defined with the help of this
matrix 18 x 9 of light-sensitivity elements for every
camera. The transparent squares represent active
fields.
There are described controlling buttons for editing the
light-sensitivity matrix here:
1 – sets one active matrix field
2 – clears one field
3 – sets the whole line
4 – clears the whole line
WALK TEST
The walk test is used for checking the correct setting
of the activity detector and continuously displays the
detected areas together with the picture.
DWELL TIME
It is the time of multiplexer reaction after the motion
detection. This time is used especially for the reason
of some overlapping of recording at the VCR after the
moment of detection. If the dwell time is for example
30 seconds, the multiplexer will react (record or display this camera) even 30 seconds after the motion
detection.

TIME AND DATE
This menu enables the possibility of changing the
topical time and date of the multiplexer and its format
of displaying on the monitor. If you choose some time
and date item, time will stop and will not start since
this menu is finished.
TIME CORRECTION
You can correct the multiplexer internal clock deviations by setting the value of seconds added or taken
off per a day. For example: If the clock of multiplexers
delays 2.5 seconds a day, increase the value of the
correction of 2.5 s, if it speeds up decrease of 2.5 s.
FORMAT
Choose the displaying format of time and date on the
screen.
LANGUAGE
Choose the language for communication with user.
DISPLAY
Choose whether to display camera titles and the date
and time on the status line in LIVE mode and recording. Then you can set-up the interlace correction.
The interlace correction influences the displaying of
the cameras on the monitor and the recording.
Disabled interlace correction of live images can cause
the gliding effect of reduced-size pictures, which is
caused by the displaying of different fields of the same
camera. The same field will be displayed by marking
this item. The picture stability increases with result of
slower displaying.
The interlace correction of record always ensures the
recording of same fields of the camera. The playback
quality will be higher, but it can result the lower frequency of recorded cameras switching. This choice
will affect only the recording to the VCR in the minimal
mode (3 hours).
