Technical Overview
16 Camera Multiplexing with Motion Detection, Alarm Association and
Multilingual Setup Menus
Thehas revolutionary features not available in most
multiplexer
multiplexers. Thehas a sophisticated motion detection
system that can sense motion vectors in any direction. Motion detection
sensitivity can be adjusted and the user can set day and night motion
detection schedules. A motion tracking box gives visual indications for
easy setup.
Thehas both composite BNC and Y/C mini DIN inputs and
multiplexer
outputs for VCRs. The main monitor can be connected to either a
composite BNC or Y/C mini DIN output. There are four BNC auxiliary
outputs that can be used for “spot” monitors or as sources of video for
other devices.
Thehas a large selection of user selectable display formats.
multiplexer
It also has digital zooming from 1 to 32 times.
Themultilingual menu options allow for easy setup. The
multiplexer
user’s configuration is stored in nonvolatile memory so that it will not be
lost during power outages.
Thecan play back videotapes recorded with many other
multiplexer
multiplexers. These include, but are not limited to; HONEYWELL;
DAVE; ULTRAK Legacy Color; ULTRAK Legacy B/W; DM; ROBOT;
KALATEL. Up to 16 multiplexers can be “daisy chained” and addressed
and controlled by a single control panel. The multiplexer can also be
addressed by a computer using either an RS-232 or RS-485 connection.

Installation
Required Tools
Although no special tools are required to install the multiplexer, it is only
one part of a complex system. Refer to the Installation manuals for the
other components in your particular installation for special tool
requirements.
ENGLISH
< Figure 2 >connections.multiplexer
Connecting Cameras
You can connect up to 16 cameras to the. Connect the
camera BNCs to the IN BNC connectors (top row). The loop-through
connectors (OUT) are auto-terminated, so terminating resisters are not
needed if you do not loop video out to another device.
NOTE : Connecting a cable to the loop-through connector switches off
the termination. Do NOT connect a cable to the loop-through BNC
connectors unless it is connected to the input of another video device.
multiplexer
5
Connecting Monitors
Your main monitor should be connected to the MAIN output. There are
two MAIN connectors; an S-Video and a BNC. If your monitor has an SVideo input, you should use the S-Video MAIN.
Up to four auxiliary monitors can be connected to the multiplexer. You
can use these as spot monitors or to view live video while playing tapes
back through the main monitor. The auxiliary monitors should be
connected to the AUX BNC connectors.
Connecting VCRs
There are both BNC and S-Video connectors for the VCRs. Use the SVideo connectors if your VCR has them because they will give you better
quality video.
< Figure 3 > Connecting one VCR to the.multiplexer
6
< Figure 4 > Connecting two VCRs to the.multiplexer
You can connect one VCR to the multiplexer and use it for both
recording and playback. However, thecan handle recording
and playback at the same time, so it is possible to connect two VCRs.
One VCR is used to record while the other is used to play back. (See
the illustrations.)
multiplexer
Connecting a Mouse
The multiplexer menus can be controlled by either buttons on the front
panel or by a mouse. If you plan to use a mouse, connect it to the miniDIN connector labeled MOUSE.
The multiplexer is not compatible with all mouse available in the market.
Please note that users are recommended to use "Recommended
mouse" only described in the manual.
Logitech mouse (Ball mouse only)
ENGLISH
NOTE : Compatible mouse can be added without prior notice for better
performance.
Daisy- Chaining and Remote Control Connections
Thecan be daisy-chained to other multiplexers or controlled
multiplexer
by a remote keyboard. To add another multiplexer to your system,
connect the RS-485 OUT connector of the additional unit to the IN RS485 connector. (See Setup Menu section to set multiplexer address.)
The remote keyboard should be connected to the OUT connector on the
multiplexer.
7
Alarms and Other Connections
The 50-pin ALARM IN/OUT connector has 16 alarm inputs, 16 alarm
outputs, RS-232 connectors, VCR trigger pulse and various alarm
settings. See Appendix B — Connector Pin Outs for further details on
how to make these connections.

Appendix C
Remote Control
Remote Control for Daisychained Multiplexers
If you are using a computer to control two or more daisy-chained
multiplexers, you need to send a re-address command to select the
multiplexer to control. (Up to 16 multiplexers can be daisy-chained.)
Re-address commands are not printable characters; you need an 8-bit
binary address or hex value to select which daisy-chained multiplexer
you control. If you lose power to one or more multiplexers, you will need
to use the re-address command again to select the correct multiplexer.
Simple three-character ASCII commands represent single or
combination front panel button presses on the multiplexer. The effect of
a button press or remote command depends on the multiplexer’s current
status. Check the multiplexer’s current status before issuing a remote
command. Because this multiplexer has a different front keys from the
old model, some new commands are added to control the multiplexer
correctly.
