Video Gain Control

Gain Modes

Normal: Automatic gain control of the input

video is enabled. This mode should be used when normal video input signals are fed to the MP1600/BMP1600.

Manual: Automatic gain control is disabled.

The previous settings for the gain are used to increase or decrease the input video signal.

Reset: Reset the settings for the gain to

the factory default values. Use of this option is recommended the first time

MANUAL gain mode is enabled or when the

manual adjustment goes out of control. After resetting the gain, the MP1600/BMP1600 will automatically proceed to the ADJUSTMENT screen for review of the settings. See page 26 for details.

Adjust: Enter the ADJUSTMENT screen to adjust the gain for each video input. See page 26 for details.

V GAIN

Video Gain

Proper installation and use of standard video equipment will maximize the capabilities of the MP1600/BMP1600. However, in certain installations or with the use of non-standard video equipment, it is possible the MP1600/BMP1600 will receive unusually strong or weak input signals. In most conditions, the MP1600/BMP1600 can stabilize video input signals. In extreme conditions, it may be necessary to manually adjust the video input signals using the manual video gain control.

Entering Video Gain Control Setup

1. Move the cursor to V Gain in the

options menu. Select V Gain by pressing the ENTER button. The

ENTER button is the same as the PLAYBACK button when the MP1600/

BMP1600 is in user setup mode.

2. The previously selected mode will

flash.

3. Use the ?? or ?? button to select

one of the four available modes. The ?? and ?? buttons are the

SPLIT/SW and FREEZE buttons,

respectively, while the MP1600/ BMP1600 is in user setup mode.

Video Gain Adjustment Screen

When RESET or ADJUST mode are selected, the MP1600/BMP1600 will enter the

ADJUSTMENT screen. In the ADJUSTMENT

screen, 16-camera split-screen (4x4) mode will be displayed. The currently selected video input for adjustment will be boxed in cyan.

Selecting the Video Input for Adjustment

Select the desired camera to adjust using the video selector buttons on the front panel. The selected video will be boxed in cyan.

Adjusting the Gain

Use the ?? or ?? button to increase or decrease the gain. The ?? and ?? buttons are the SPLIT/SW and FREEZE buttons, respectively, while the MP1600/BMP1600 is in user setup mode.

Exiting the Adjustment Screen

Press ENTER or MENU button to exit.

These are the PLAYBACK and CALL buttons, respectively, while the MP1600/BMP1600 is in user setup mode.

Note: These adjustments affect both the main video output and VCR output. Make sure to check for the proper operation of VCR output when MANUAL mode is selected.

VCR Playback

Bypass Mode

BYPASS

The MP1600/BMP1600 has a unique feature that allows the monitoring of VCR input without de-multiplexing. This feature is useful for verifying correct operation of VCR output on the MP1600/BMP1600 and for diagnosing VCR playback related problems.

Entering Bypass Mode

1. While in VCR playback mode, press the

CALL button for less than three

seconds. The word “BYPASS” will appear on the bottom of the screen.

2. There are three bypass modes: interlaced mode, odd only mode, and even only mode.

3. Each press of the MENU button will change the mode to the next mode and will return to the normal VCR playback mode after the last bypass mode.

Monitoring VCR Recording

By entering VCR bypass mode, the actual video images being recorded by the MP1600/BMP1600 can be monitored. Due to the fact that the MP1600/BMP1600 records either 9 or 16 cameras at once by switching rapidly from one camera to the next, the video images displayed in this mode may not be recognizable. This is normal.

Diagnosing VCR Playback Problems

Most VCR playback problems arise because of improper system installation or because of VCR problems. By entering VCR bypass mode, the video images recorded by the VCR can be observed.

VCR Menu Setup

The video signal generated by VCR in the VCR setup menu may not be recognized by the de-multiplexing circuitry of MP1600/BMP1600. To view video produced by the VCR setup menu, use VCR bypass mode.

Tracking Adjustment

The MP1600/BMP1600 allows you to enhance the tracking capabilities of certain VCRs that do not conform to standard video.

Entering Tracking Adjustment

Press the MENU button from any VCR playback mode. “ADJUST FOR VCR” will appear on the bottom of screen adjustment mode.

Enhancing the Tracking

1. Use the ?? or ?? button to adjust the tracking while the MP1600/BMP1600 is in user setup mode.

2. Confirm the settings by pressing the

ENTER button.

3. Press EXIT button to exit VCR Tracking Adjustment Mode.

The new setting will be saved and take effect immediately.

Tip: If you see a line or noise between screens during playback, use the ?? or ?? button while in the VCR TRACKING

ADJUSTMENT mode to adjust the tracking
