VEXT Pulse Out
The Video External Pulse connection (VEXT) simplifies
multiplexer operation by automatically synchronizing the
Multiplexer and the DSR-1000eZ.
The DSR-1000eZ sends a VEXT pulse to the Multiplexer
indicating that it is ready to record the next image. The
Multiplexer responds by sending the next image to the Video
Input on the DSR-1000eZ.
The VEXT connection is especially beneficial for units
configured with dual record speeds (Normal and Alarm).
Use of the VEXT connection is Highly Recommended when
connecting the unit to a multiplexer.

The Error Out signal is activated when the unit experiences any
operational or internal error.

1.10 Setting the Alarms
o Main Menu → Alarms
Use this menu to specify:
• Whether an alarm condition will be activated when the
unit detects a signal on the Alarm In connection.
• Whether a teletext alarm signal (generated by a
multiplexer or other device) will cause the unit to
activate an alarm condition.
To begin recording, press the Record button. RECORD will be indicated for
three seconds, near the upper left hand corner of the primary monitor. The
unit always starts recording at the end of the previously recorded data.
Recording will continue until:
• Another mode is selected (Play mode, Reverse Play,or Stop
mode).
• The disk is full (In No Overwrite and Overwrite Once modes).
See section 5.1 Advanced Menu → Disk Overwrite Mode on
page 5-1, for details regarding Disk Overwrite modes.
Normal Recording
The unit records at the normal record speed until an alarm condition is detected.
The normal record speed is indicated on the monitor if the display option is enabled,
and can be altered using the Up/Down Record Speed buttons, or in the menu
system.
For information about altering the normal record speed from the menu system, see
Main Menu → Record Settings → Normal Record Speed, on page 4-5 of the
Operator Programming section of this manual.
The normal record speed can be altered while the unit is recording. The unit will
continue recording while the menu system is active.

Alarm Recording
When an alarm condition is detected, the unit automatically switches to the
alarm record speed. The alarm condition is indicated in several ways:
• With the word ALARM, displayed on the primary monitor, near the
upper left hand corner of the screen.
• With the internal buzzer (if activated in the menu system). For
information about activating the internal buzzer during alarms, see
Main Menu → Alarms on page 4-2 of the Operator programming
section of this manual.
• By an external device, connected to the alarm output of the unit (if
the unit is installed that way).
The alarm record speed cannot be changed using the Up/Down Record Speed buttons on the front
panel. The alarm record speed must be changed in the menu system. For information about altering
the alarm record speed, see Main Menu → Record Settings → Alarm Record Speed, on page 4-5
of the Operator Programming section of this manual.
The unit returns to the normal record speed when the alarm condition ends.
