The DSP-1200 is a 2 camera video screen splitter that does not require any genlock feeds for the
cameras. By using digital technology CVS is able to capture and synchronize one camera to another
so that the pictures can be split. The size, type and position of the split (Fig. 1) are variable as is the
position of the second camera in relation to the first (Fig. 2).

Camera Requirements: The DSP-1200 will work with any line locked or internally locked color or
B&W cameras for input 1 and 2. Either camera can be line locked or internally locked, however the
internally locked camera will give you a better picture. Both cameras must conform with RS-170A
sync timing standards. This means they must also be interlaced with the proper pulse widths and
sync frequencies. It has been found that some of the less expensive cameras while claiming to
conform with RS-170A, actually do not. This can cause instability in either picture. If you are unsure
of the RS-170A sync standard, please contact Compu-Video Systems at 845-737-7009

.

Installation:

To set up the screen splitter we recommend you use the following check list to make the process

SETUP/ALIGNMENT

·Install the cameras to cover the areas to be viewed. Take care that the area of camera 2 that you
want to see in the split is in the center of the picture.

·Locate yourself at the screen splitter. With the front panel switch, verify that each camera shows
individually on the screen.

·Decide on the type of split that you will use. Example: Vertical split, Horizontal split, Window.

·Decide where the split will be, and in the case of the window, what size it will be.

·Set the front panel switch to the center split position.

·It is recommended that you center the controls and vary each one while observing the picture. This
will give you a feel for the way each control effects the picture.

·Begin by adjusting the start of the split with the Height Start Control. Position the start of the split as
desired.

·Next set the end of the vertical split to its desired location using the Height End Control.

·If you are setting the window/split so it goes to the far right side of the screen, perform the
following steps: On the Width end control, vary this control to the minimum split and slowly

increase it so that the split goes to the right. Once you go past the end of the screen you can
continue. You will see no increase in split size but you will see the picture jump to the side at a
point. This indicates that you have gone too far and need to adjust the control back to just before the
picture jumps.

·Adjust the Width Start to position the left side of the split

·Adjust the Width end control to end the Horiz split. You now have a window that should be
positioned in camera 1.

·If selected, Adjust the Vertical position to center camera 2 in the window. You can open the window
with the Width and Vertical End controls to make this step easier. Once camera 2 is properly set,
close the window down to the desired size.

·After the split has been set, touch up the Horizontal and Vertical position controls to get the slave
camera’s optimum picture angle. If the vertical delay is disabled, only the horizontal position will
work.

NOTE:

Once you have set up the unit and there is a slight side to side jumping on camera 2, slightly adjust
the Camera 2 Horiz delay to stabilize it.
