9-CAMERA COLOR MULTIPLEXER
Honeywell Video’s HXCT9 Color Multiplexer combines the best of today’s technology
with superior functionality to bring you a versatile multiplexer that can easily be
configured to meet your specific installation requirements.
The HXCT9 will simultaneously view, record and play back 9-camera inputs. The
multiplexer displays the cameras in a variety of views as well as four user-definable
formats. In addition to the main monitor, the HXCT9 supports four separate spot
monitors, which can be selected to display a specific camera, the entire sequence of
cameras, or a user sequence.
In addition to the unit’s convenient front panel controls, the HXCT9’s user-friendly,
mouse-driven, on-screen menus make setup and operation quicker and easier than
ever before. Easy to program features, such as video motion detection, alarm
detection, day/night settings for each camera, and processing of alarm events can
be set up on screen using a standard PS2 mouse (included). The familiar mouse-
driven functionality also allows changes, such as display formats, to be made easily.
The HXCT9’s advanced features bring powerful, integrated solutions to your video
system. Features like video motion detection, time synchronization of multiple
multiplexers, flexible alarm processing and enhanced picture processing provides
unparalleled image quality and unsurpassed performance.
The HXCT9 can be controlled remotely with a PC, or the RapidView AKJX8A
Dome/Multiplexer Controller. The HXCT9 is part of Honeywell Video’s e-Series,
featuring products of exceptional value and performance for everyday use.

Mouse Control
In addition to the front panel controls, the multiplexer can be
operated using a mouse (included with unit). Everyday
functions are greatly simplified through use of familiar
computer-type functions such as pop up screens, easy to
understand menu screens and toggle options. Simply point
and click and you can perform all multiplexer operations using
this extremely user-friendly user interface.
Four Spot Monitors
The multiplexer supports four independent auxiliary spot
monitors. These monitors supplement the main output
monitor. Each spot monitor can be used to display a specific
camera image, scroll through the entire sequence of cameras,
or user sequence of cameras. The spot monitor view can be
changed at any time with a simple click of the mouse. This
provides extreme flexibility and eliminates the need for a
separate matrix switch system.
System Security Features
The multiplexer contains four different user passwords as well
as a supervisor code. These four digit codes provide secure
access to the various multiplexer functions. Each camera has
programmable options to determine which users can view the
camera, which spot monitors can display the camera, and if
the camera can be recorded.
Motion Detection
The e-Series multiplexer has a sophisticated motion detection
scheme, which can be set up to detect motion change from
any direction. The motion detection area, and sensitivity can
be selected to suit the requirements. In addition both day and
night schedules can be established for motion detection.
Electronic Zoom
Camera images can be electronically enlarged up to a zoom
factor of 32. In the zoom mode a screen appears displaying
the area of the screen impacted. Simply select the portion of
the image to be enhanced, then use the zoom button to
enlarge to the desired value. The selected image can then be
frozen.
Alarm Processing
The multiplexer was an alarm input camera as well as two
programmable alarm outputs. The system provides
customized alarm response for specific security areas. Up to
nine e-Series multiplexers can be linked together.
Three-Way Operation
The system permits simultaneous recording, playback, and live
viewing.
Flexible Display Options
The main monitor can display either a full-screen camera view,
2x2, 3x3, PIP or PIP4 (Picture in Picture) display. In addition,
there are four user-definable display modes that allow
selection of various screen formats and the cameras to appear
in each customized view.
Software Management
Bi-directional RS232 or RS485 communications allows
software control of multiplexer features. Remote control the
unit through Honeywell Video’s AKJX8A or HJZTP
Keyboard/Controller or a PC with third party software
management tools.
High Resolution Display
With 720 x 480 pixel output to a VCR and up to 648 x 448 output
to the monitor, the e-Series multiplexer provides high- resolution,
true-to-life images for live and recorded events. This performance
results in superior surveillance and easier identification.
Alarm History Log
A time-stamped event log displays the last 256 alarm events;
including the source of the event, camera number, time, date
and user number.
Multilingual Option
The multiplexer’s screens and menus can appear in English,
French, Italian, German and Spanish. Languages can be
selected from the setup menu without the need for additional
model numbers.
