A quick overview of digital recording

Digital multiplex recorders work in exactly the same way as analogue multiplexers
except that they use hard disks and digital tape to store video, instead of VCR tapes.

Analogue recording uses time-lapse recording to extend the length of time
recorded onto a 3-hour tape - recording fewer pictures every second.

Adjusting the number of pictures recorded every second also extends the length
of time recorded onto the hard disk of a Digital Sprite Lite. However, other factors
also determine the amount of time that can be stored on the disk of a digital
multiplex recorder:

• The image quality

• The record rate

• The hard disk capacity

Image quality

Digital multiplex recorders store images in a compressed format, allowing images
to be recorded more efficiently. The higher the compression, the smaller the file
size, but the image quality will suffer. Digital Sprite Lite can compress images from
between 6KB to 30KB

Kilobytes and gigabytes are units of storage:

1GB = 1024 Megabytes (MB)

1MB = 1024 Kilobytes (KB)

With analogue recording, the image quality is dependent on the type of VCR
being used; VHS or S-VHS. Digital Sprite Lite allows the image quality to be
altered by adjusting the image size, for example, VHS quality is 14KB, S-VHS is
18KB, and greater than S-VHS is 25KB.

Using a larger image size will fill the hard disk faster than a smaller image size, as
more space is required to store it. To achieve the same amount of recording time
when a larger image size is used requires the record rate (PPS) to be reduced.

Digital Sprite Lite can be installed in as little as 4 steps, and being plug-and-play,
cameras can be recorded within minutes.

STEP 1. Connect cameras

Connect cameras to the video inputs marked VID1 to VID9 (9-way unit) or VID16
(16-way unit). Use the bottom row of connectors for looping through to other equipment.

STEP 2. Connect monitors

Connect the video output marked MON A to the Main monitor (digital playback
and multiscreens).

Connect the video output marked MON B to the optional Spot monitor (analogue
full-screen images).

STEP 3. Connect the external devices

If external devices need to be connected to Digital Sprite Lite, go to the next
section – ‘Connecting external devices’, before proceeding to Step 4.

STEP 4. Connect power

Once the Digital Sprite Lite is in its final position and all external devices have
been fitted and powered, connect the PSU to the rear of the unit and apply the
power. The power-up procedure may take up to one minute before Digital Sprite
Lite can be used.

will now record all cameras in a 24-hour time-lapse mode
without any further programming!

Serial telemetry

Digital Sprite Lite currently supports serial telemetry for JVC and Ultrak domes. Serial
telemetry requires a twisted-pair connection from Digital Sprite Lite’s serial port to
the telemetry receiver. Serial telemetry can be star configured – from the Digital
Sprite Lite serial port to each receiver, or delta configured – each receiver daisy
chained together, or a combination of the two. Each receiver needs to be addressed
according to its camera number – consult your receiver documentation for details.

Serial port connection

The serial port on Digital Sprite Lite is a 9-way male D-type connection. A 9-way
D-type female plug is required with the following pin-outs:

PIN RS-232 RS-485

1 nc Data A
2RX nc
3TX nc
4 GND GND
5 GND GND
6nc nc
7RTS nc
8 CTS nc
9 nc Data B

nc = no connection

Note: The serial port must be configured for JVC or Ultrak telemetry in the
System Options menu.

c-bus/DTMF telemetry

Dedicated Micros telemetry receivers can be controlled using c-bus or DTMF
(telephone tones). When using c-bus telemetry the receiver is connected directly to
the c-bus connectors on the back of the unit. When using DTMF telemetry a
telemetry adaptor (TAD3) is required to convert the telemetry commands into DTMF
tones. DTMF and c-bus telemetry can be configured in a star or delta configuration.

3. DDS and VXA tapes

Images recorded to the internal disk can be automatically archived to Hewlett
Packard DDS and Ecrix VXA tapes. This allows a tape a day solution, similar to
that of a multiplexer and VCR. The disk size does not have to be large when
using tapes to archive images, although the disk size determines what is instantly
accessible from the Digital Sprite Lite.

The table below shows the number of hours a tape will last for when used at
different record rates (at S-VHS images quality, 18KB)

See Appendix 1 for details of configuring Digital Sprite Lite for tape archiving.

Connecting to a network

Digital Sprite Lite can be used to distribute high quality live or recorded images
across standard TCP/IP networks to a viewer’s desktop PC – where images can be
viewed using a standard web browser.

Digital Sprite Lite is available with or without network video capabilities. Units
with video network capabilities can be identified by the word ‘NET’ appearing
after the software version in the menu.

Note: Units without network video capabilities can still connect to a network but
only for upgrade purposes. Contact your local office for details of upgrading
Digital Sprite Lite for video networking.

To view images across a network you will need:

• A valid IP address, Default gateway, and Subnet mask for the Digital Sprite
Lite. These are usually obtained from your network administrator.

• A PC connected to the network with a minimum specification of:
200 MHz CPU.

64MB RAM.
4MB Video card (capable of displaying 16 million colours).
Microsoft

®

Windows®95, 98, or NT, or MacOS 7.5.

• A spare 10-baseT Ethernet port on the network.

• An RJ-45 network cable for connection between the Digital Sprite Lite and
the network.

• Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.X (PC) or Netscape Navigator 4.X (PC and Mac).

Connecting c-bus devices

Digital Sprite Lite uses the c-bus networking system to allow multiple Digital Sprite
Lites, remote keyboards, alarm modules, video switchers, and other accessories to
be connected together. The total length of the c-bus network can be up to 1500m.

Connecting alarms

An optional alarm module is required if alarms are to be added to Digital Sprite
Lite. The advantage of using alarm modules is that all the alarm connectors do
not have to be routed back to the Digital Sprite Lite. Multiple alarm modules can
be used on the c-bus network with alarms connected to each module.

To add alarms:

• Connect the corresponding alarm contact to the alarm input, i.e. Alarm 2
would be connected between ground (GND) and A2.

• If multiple alarm modules are required then each will need to be addressed;
consult the alarm module documentation for details.

• Connect the c-bus cable from the alarm box to one of the c-bus sockets on
Digital Sprite Lite.

• The polarity of the alarms (normally open/closed) is set using the ‘Alarms and
Presets’ menu page.

An alarm trigger performs the following

Video switchers

Video switchers allow multiple Digital Sprite Lites to be controlled from a single or
pair of monitors. This allows the flexibility of controlling up to 256 cameras from
a single location without having to purchase extra matrix equipment. The video
switcher routes the monitors from the Digital Sprite Lite being controlled to the
operator’s monitors, up to 16 control positions can have monitor switching.

The example below shows two Digital Sprite Lites controlled from individual
control points. The video switcher routes the monitor outputs from the Digital
Sprite Lites to the control points:

TIP: Each c-bus device is supplied with a 2m c-bus cable. To extend the distance
between devices, two c-bus junction boxes and power supply are required. A total
distance for the whole c-bus network can be up to 1500m.

Schedule

A schedule can be used to record selected cameras at different times, change the
record rates, and select whether alarms or activity is enabled.

The schedules have three options:

• Off – the schedule is disabled

• Set/Unset – use a switch or alarm input to trigger the schedule. This is
connected directly to the AUX input, or by using a specific contact on an
external alarm module.

• On between – the schedule is triggered between user defined times (and days
for the weekend schedule).

The schedule gives the option to switch to night and weekend settings, either
manually using the Set/Unset option, using either the AUX input or alarm
contacts, or automatically at pre-set times and days.

Note: The Weekend setting overrides any night settings during the defined
weekend period.

WARNING: Do not use the eject button on the front of the tape drive to eject
tapes, as this will cause data to be lost.

Archiving to tape

The difference between archiving on a VCR and archiving on a tape drive is that
the VCR is archiving images constantly, whereas the tape is archiving images
periodically from the internal disk.

The advantages of archiving periodically is that unlike videotape, a tape can be full
(or even ejected) and images will still be recorded to the internal disk, therefore
images are still recorded when changing tapes. There is also less mechanical wear
on the tape drive, as it is not recording all the time.

To archive images to tape:

1. Insert a tape into the tape drive.

2. The tape status box is displayed, showing the contents of the tape, along with
the following menu:

Note: It is normal for a few minutes to elapse before the above menu is displayed
