Features

DX-TL5000U is a digital recorder that is equipped with HDD as its main memory and 16ch triplex multiplexer. Addition to these features, this system has a very sophisticated video signal and data processing technique that provides high quality picture, stable operation and reliability. The graphical user interface and pointing devices make the operation very easy and comfortable in live monitoring and also in the handling of data from recording to export. The system offers excellent performance and has features to suit many video surveillance applications.

Refresh rates of 960pps*/system

Thanks to the newly developed multiplexing circuit, every camera can be viewed at 60 pps refresh rate in all screen formats.

pps* : picture per second

Triplex

User can view live and playback images on the same monitor in all screen multi-split layouts without disrupting recording.

Dual Multiplexer Outputs

The DX-TL5000U has two video outputs (Output A / B), and both of the outputs can show single-screen, 4, 9, 10, 13 and 16 split-screen, Switched Cameras, Alarmed Camera in live mode and Recorded pictures. On Screen Menu are shown only on monitor Output A. It is also possible to view playback pictures of different cameras at the same time with these two video outputs.

Covert Camera Function

It is possible to hide pictures of selected cameras that are installed in sensitive areas and should only be viewed by authorized personnel. It can be switched by <Multiplexer Setting>.

GUI

MENU, GUI (Graphical User Interface), guides the operators to their desired menu pages quickly. If the users need additional information on MENU functions, just press the HELP key and instructions will appear on screen. The menu supports English, French, and Spanish. Function keys on the front panel or USB mouse can operate the menu on the DX-TL5000U.

Recording rate up to 240 pps/system

Because of the new recording circuit and compression chip, the maximum recording speed is 240 pps in total, this means that the system can record pictures with speed of up to 15 pps on all 16 channels. With this speed recorded pictures are seen by the eye as real-time.

JPEG2000

The system uses JPEG2000 compression. JPEG2000 is the standard and ideal compression method for still pictures. Because pictures are compressed to a user defined file size one by one, the estimated recording time calculated by the system automatically is very accurate. Special playback search functions and transmission over network also benefit from this compression method. File sizes for each picture quality are minimized to improve storage efficiency over previous models.

Individual Recording Setting

Recording speed and picture quality (picture file size) can be set for each camera individually, it is also possible to set alarm recording setting in addition to normal recording setting. By adjusting the recording speed and picture quality, it is possible to use HDD storage space efficiently.

Audio Recording

4ch audio inputs are featured. The audio such as cash register operation and conversation with customers can be recorded clearly together with the monitoring pictures.

Copy

The easiest way for users to make a copy of recorded picture data is to use the built in CD/DVD Drive on the DXTL5000U. Or, they can also use other digital media such as HDD, DVD(-R/RW)*, CD-R/RW* USB Memory etc… through Serial Bus Interface. It is also possible to connect SCSI devices through the optional SCSI interface or NAS (Network Attached Storage) through network.

DVD(-R/RW), CD-R/RW* : only one drive can be used (including built-in CD/DVD drive)

Cascading Connection

Cascading connection allows to users to view pictures and to hear sounds from multiple DX-TL5000U by operating via operations from the master unit.

Attaching or removing the HDD

Up to 3 HDDs can be mounted on this unit. Attaching, removing and replacing method of the HDDs are on the next page.

Precautions for attaching or removing the HDD

• Do not attach or remove the HDD unnecessarily. Attaching or removing the HDD of DX-TL5000U is intended to replace the faulty HDD or add the HDD when starting operation for the first time because of the structure of the connectors. It is not presumed to be used as a removable HDD.

• Make sure that the POWER button on the front panel and the MAIN switch on the rear panel are both turned OFF when attaching or removing the HDD. Wait at least 1 minute after turning off the power.

• Do not remove the top cover of the unit.

• When attaching multiple HDDs, attach in the order of HDD A, B, and C.

• Do not drop the HDD. Also do not put the metallic object such as a coin or a screw driver into the HDD tray.

• When a power failure occurs during recording, avoid adding, replacing or transporting the HDD as the recorded

data may be erased. In this case, turn the power back on to boot up the unit normally with the HDD that was being used at the time of the power failure attached. Then add, replace, or transport the HDD.

• HDD is very delicate. Handle the HDD with care and follow the precautions below because even a small shock may damage the internal components of the HDD.

• Do not place the HDD on a desk or a table directly. Put a thick cushion under the HDD because even a small

shock may damage the internal components of the HDD.

• Do not use an electric screwdriver. Vibrations and shocks caused by an electric screwdriver may damage the

internal components of the HDD.

• When replacing the HDD, do not knock the HDD with other components such as the another HDD and the HDD

tray.

• Do not knock the HDD with tools such as a driver when replacing the HDD.

• The following HDD has been tested and compatibility is ensured. This information is as of December 2004. Supply

of this HDD may be stopped or it may be changed without notice by its manufacturer. Consult your dealer for the latest information or use of other HDDs. When you attach multiple HDDs, normally use the HDDs of the same capacity and the same model name.
