1.2 Product Description
The DVMRe Triplex is a video multiplexer capable of recording from multiple cameras to one or more internal hard drives 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 Unlike outdated time-lapse VCRs, the DVMRe Triplex records high-resolution pictures.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.

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.
The camera input connectors are Auto Terminating.
Cable: 75-Ohm Coaxial
Connectors: BNC
Auto Terminating: Yes
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.
Cable: 75-Ohm Coaxial
Connectors: BNC
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).
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 PCB
Active alarm inputs vary by DVMRe model. 4 channel units (4CT) have 4 active alarm inputs. 10 channel units (10CT) have 10 active alarm inputs.
Alarm Input
An alarm condition can be activated by devices such as pressure pads, passive infrared detectors, door switches, or other similar devices.
See section 3.11 for information about configuring the contacts as Normally Open or Normally Closed in the menu system.
Normally Open, Zero Potential Relay Contact: Configure in menu as Normally Open.
Normally Closed, Zero Potential Relay Contact: Configure in menu as Normally Closed

1.8 Power-Up
Use the diagram below to secure the power cord to the back panel.
1Slide approximately 6 inches of the power cord through the pre-installed cable tie (approximately 1 inch after the ferrite core).

2Tighten the cable tie until the cord is secure. Do not over tighten.
3Loop the power cord end around and insert into the power receptacle on the back panel.

It is important that the power-up procedures be followed carefully. The unit uses its auto-detect feature to detect camera signals during power-up, and configure itself automatically.
0150-0193G |

DVMRe Triplex |
Power-up procedure
Once the system installation is complete, apply power in the following order:
1.Energize the monitors and all of the cameras.
2.Energize the DVMRe Triplex.
Power Supply Input
Voltage: 12 Volt DC
Power: 60 Watt (5 Amp)
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.
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.
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.
To find detailed information in this manual about configuring each item in the QuickInstall menu, use the following table to locate the main menu location of each item in the QuickInstall menu.
