1.2 Product Description
The DVMRe Triplex is a video multiplexer capable of recording from multiple cameras to an internal
hard drive while simultaneously providing playback. Unlike outdated time-lapse VCRs, the DVMRe
Triplex records high-resolution pictures. Digital recording improves playback quality over VCRs, and
eliminates the hassle of cleaning heads, changing tapes or servicing motors. The unit can also be
programmed to record continuously by overwriting the oldest recorded data. Depending on the setup,
the DVMRe Triplex can store from a few hours to more than 3 years of color images.
Programmable search features eliminate time consuming Fast Forwarding or Rewinding of tapes,
searching for critical data. Search for recorded images or events by alarm, time, date, motion, video
loss, camera number and ASCII cash register or ATM text.
Caution! This products primary purpose is to furnish video multiplexing and recording.
Although the unit has alarm handling and motion detection functions, they are considered
secondary features. This unit should not be the only alarm device on site.

1.4 Unpacking
Check the package and contents for visible damage. If any components are damaged or missing, do
not attempt to use the unit, contact the supplier immediately. If the unit must be returned, it must be
shipped in the original packing box.
Package Contents
• The DVMRe Triplex unit.
• The Alarm Interface Circuit Board (P/N 0090-0077).
• Power Cords ( 120 VAC P/N 4310-0002) and (220 VAC P/N 4310-0001).
1.5 Installation Environment
Power: Ensure that the installation site’s AC power is stable and within the rated voltage of the 12
Volt DC power supply. If the site’s AC power is likely to have spikes or power dips, use power line
conditioning or an Uninterruptable Power Supply (UPS).
Ventilation: Ensure that the location planned for the installation of the unit is well ventilated. Take
note of the locations of the cooling vents in the unit’s enclosure, and ensure that they are not
obstructed.
Temperature: Consider the unit’s operating temperature (0 to 40 °C) and non-condensing humidity
specifications (10% to 80%) before choosing an installation location. Extremes of heat or cold beyond
the specified operating temperature limits may cause the unit to fail. Do not install the unit on top of
other hot equipment. Leave space between rack mounted units.

0150-0193F 10 Kalatel DVMRe Triplex
Camera Inputs
There are two BNC jacks for each camera. Either
jack can receive a camera signal. The signal is
looped (directly connected to the other jack), making
the camera signal available to other equipment.
Cable: 75-Ohm Coaxial
Connectors: BNC
Auto Terminating: Yes
The camera input connectors are Auto Terminating.
Passive Looping: Yes
This means that the input signal will automatically be terminated with 75-Ohms unless a 2nd cable is
connected to the 2nd BNC connector of the same camera input. Make sure there is 75-Ohm
termination at the end of the video line if the signal is looped through the DVMRe Triplex.
Time base correction is performed during digital capture. As a result, cameras do not require
synchronization.
See section 3.14 for information about disabling unused camera jacks in the menu system.
Composite Monitor Output
When connecting directly from the DVMRe Triplex to
the monitor, select the 75-Ohm impedance setting on
the monitor.
If an additional device is connected to the monitor’s looping output, set the termination of the additional
device as 75-Ohm, and set the termination of the monitor as Hi-Z (High Impedance).
Cable: 75-Ohm Coaxial
Connectors: BNC
Y/C Monitor Output
Y/C video output has a 4-pin mini-DIN style
connector. This style of connection is also referred to
as SVHS and S-Video.
Cable: 75-Ohm Coaxial
Connectors: BNC
Alarm I/O Port
The back panel of the unit is equipped with an Alarm
Port (DB-25 style connector).
Do not attempt to wire directly to the DB-25

Power-up procedure
Once the system installation is complete, apply
power in the following order:
Voltage: 12 Volt DC
1. Energize the monitors and all of the cameras.
Power: 60 Watt (5 Amp)
2. Energize the DVMRe Triplex.
Connector: 2.1mm barrel, center positive
Once power is applied to the unit, it will begin its power-up procedure. The unit will begin by displaying
the software version on Monitor-A, then the unit will begin recording automatically.
Power Supply Input
Check Video Input Quality
Check the picture quality by selecting each camera for full screen display. If the picture quality is poor,
check the following items:
• The BNC connections.
• The loop-through terminations.
• The video levels of incoming signals.
• The possibility of ground loops.
• Consult the camera’s installation instructions for additional information about proper camera setup.
0150-0193F 16 Kalatel DVMRe Triplex
Check Record And Playback Quality
Record for at least three minutes at the default record rate. Then play back the recording, selecting
each camera for full screen display. Check the playback picture quality.
1.9 Minimum Recommended Menu Setup
After installation is complete, it is strongly recommended that, as a minimum, the items in the
QuickInstall menu be configured before the unit is used. All the features located in the QuickInstall
menu are also found in the Main menu. These items are provided in the separate QuickInstall menu
as a convenience for the installer.
For information about accessing and configuring the menu system, see Section 3.

system. For detailed information about configuring the dwell times in the menu system, see section 0.
Autolist™ Custom Sequence List
