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.

set for alarm recording. And for only the cameras
used for alarm recording, pre-alarm recording is
performed at the alarm recording rate.
iii) To perform with alarm recording:
Set the “Alarm Mode” to “Alarm Plus.”
Pre-alarm recording is performed at the picture
grade and the recording rate set for alarm
recording.
• Pre-alarm recording is executed with the recording
rate and the picture grade of the normal or alarm
recording set for that time period.
step6. Set the alarm recording time in “Post-Alarm
Duration.”
Manual: Continues alarm recording until the
ALARM IN terminal is not grounded.
step7. Set the recording camera for each sensor connected.

setting is set to other than “– – –.”
Alarm recording
• When alarm recording or emergency recording is input
during timer recording, the end time of the timer
recording is extended until the alarm recording or the
emergency recording is completed.
• When the alarm recording trigger is set to “External /
MD-A” or “External / MD-B,” the priority is given to
the latest alarm input.
• When the alarm recording trigger is set to “External /
MD-A” or “External / MD-B,” and the alarm recording
time is set to “Manual,” the alarm recording stops 2
seconds after the input of motion detection even if
the ALARM IN terminal is being grounded. (When the
alarm recording time for this recording according to
the motion detection is set to “Manual,” the actual
recording time is 2 seconds.)
• When power failure occurs during alarm recording or
emergency recording, the alarm recording or
emergency recording is cancelled after returning from
the power failure.
• When alarms are input for multiple sensors at the
same time, all the alarms may not be registered to
the alarm list.
Frame recording and field recording
• In NTSC signal system, one picture is consist of two
screens, odd and even. The unit records only the
screen of odd in case of field recording. In case of
frame recording, both of the screens (odd and even)
are recorded.
• Frame recording is suitable for storing the data in the
high picture quality, however, the data capacity is twice
as large as that of the field recording of the same
picture grade (1 frame = 2 fields). The picture may be
looked like vibrating because one picture is consisted
by two screens.

• When the long pre-alarm area is set in the main
device, the emergency recording data is stored in the
LPA area and is automatically locked in 512 MB unit
including the emergency recording data in order to
prevent overwriting the data.
In LPA area, the data is always recorded at the rate
set for alarm recording regardless of the input of the
emergency signal. Therefore, when the emergency
recording is started from the mid-part of the data block,
the data recorded before the ground of the
EMERGENCY terminal is stored in the locked area
along with the emergency recording.
• When you set the long pre-alarm recording time
without setting the long pre-alarm area, long pre-alarm
recording is carried out using the alarm area for alarm
recording, so long pre-alarm recording is not
performed for a long time.
• When emergency recording is carried out using the
long pre-alarm area, data is not stored chronologically
and alarms are listed out of sequence. Be careful
when searching for the desired picture.

function.
• Any of the 418 detection areas of the individually
loaded picture for each connected camera can
be set.
• The active areas are indicated in red, the inactive
detection may become too sensitive and it may detect
even flickering of the fluorescent lighting.
step4. Set the motion threshold.
• Set the minimum number of areas for starting the
motion detection operation from the number of
active areas within the detection area.
• Motion detection function operates when
detecting the change that exceeds the number
of areas set as the minimum.
areas are indicated in blue, and when setting the
multiple areas at a time, the areas being set are
colorless.
Set to default: Sets the motion mask setting area
to the default setting (the center part of the screen
is active).
Enable all: Sets all the areas to be activated.
Disable all: Sets all the areas to be inactivated.
Manual: Sets the motion mask setting areas
manually (or use the previous manual setting).
• Set “Motion Threshold” to the number less than that
of the active areas in the detection area. The motion
detection function does not operate when setting
“Motion Threshold” to a value exceeds that number.
step5. Set the reference interval time.
• This item is used to set the detecting interval. By
setting this item, the motion detection functions
both for the object which moves fast and slowly.
Set the longer interval for the object which moves
slower and the shorter interval for the object
moves faster.
step6. Test the motion detection function on the condition
you have set.
• The color of the dot detecting motion changes.
step7. To copy another motion detection settings, use
“Same as settings.”
• Select “Copy Motion A” to copy the setting for
the same camera number of Motion B.
• Select “Copy Motion B” to copy the setting for
the same camera number of Motion A.
• When change is detected continuously, some
functions such as setting change are not available
because alarm recording is also continuously
performed. In this case, motion detection function can
be forcibly stopped for five minutes by setting the
“Alarm Input” in the <Recording> menu to “Off.” You
can change the settings by stopping recording during
this time. This stopping is automatically released five
minutes after the operation, and registered in the
system log list. When you cancel the prohibition of
alarm input manually, set it to “On.”
• When both of the ALARM IN terminal on the rear panel
and the motion detection are set for the alarm
recording trigger, the ALARM IN terminal on the rear
panel is always given priority when both of the signals
are input at the same time.
• The M-DET indicator lights up while the motion
detection function is in operation.
• The motion detection of this unit may not operate
correctly depending on the conditions of the input
video signals especially when the “Sensitivity” is set
to high setting. Be careful when connecting to a
system, etc., that is set to alarm when the motion
detection function of this unit is operated.
• To perform alarm recording for motion detection, set
trigger for alarm recording to “MD-A,” “MD-B,”“External / MD-A,”“External / MD-B,”“External & MD-
A” or “External & MD-B,” and set alarm recording rate
of the corresponding camera number to other than “–
– –.”
• The motion detection of this unit functions by detecting
the changes of brightness. So, the malfunction due
to the change of the lightning or sunlight may occur,
or motion detection does not function on the conditions
such as the colors of the background and the clothes
are the same.
Be sure to test this function sufficiently before
operation.

of up to 2 MB of the latest data may be delayed. Be
careful when changing the copy device.
• The maximum number of devices connected to serial
bus is 16 including the built-in DVD. This is the total
number of devices for main, copy 1, and copy 2.
• The maximum number of SCSI devices used at the
same time is 6. Attach the optional board to connect
the SCSI devices.
• The order of the main device used for recording is:
internal HDD
The various external HDDs can be connected to this unit
in order to expand the memory or to use as the copy device, however, when you record or playback at high rate,
the picture may be missed during recording or playback
depending on the external device connected due to the
delay of the data transfer rate or respond of the external
device.
Check the operation before the actual operation.
• Attaching the HDD and setting the ID number
See pages 20 to 23 for attaching the internal HDD.
For connecting the HDD to the SERIAL BUS port on this
unit, use the USB 2.0 cable. The ID number is not necessary
to be set because the unit automatically recognizes the
HDD attached.
Before connecting the SCSI HDD, attach the recommended
SCSI board to the OPTION SLOT on the rear panel, and
then set the SCSI ID number. Make sure not to set the ID
number which has been already used.
Make sure that the MAIN switch on the rear panel is turned
off before connecting the internal and external HDDs.
• The order of recording/playback when internal and
external HDDs are registered as the main device
The order of the internal HDD used for recording/playback
is: internal A
When all the internal HDD is used up, the serial bus HDD
is used for recording/playback in ascending sequence of
the ID number if the HDD is connected to the SERIAL BUS
port.
Serial bus ID01
ID16 (at the maximum)
When all the serial bus HDD is used up, the SCSI HDD is
used for recording/playback in ascending sequence of the
ID number if the HDD is connected to the SCSI terminal.
SCSI ID0
SCSI ID5
When all the SCSI HDD is used up, the internal HDD is
used for recording/playback again.
In case of internal HDD and SCSI HDD, the recording/
playback order is not changed even when the HDD is
removed or added. For example, when adding the internal
B HDD during operating with internal A and C, internal B is
registered between A and C.
In case of serial bus HDD, the HDD which is added last is
registered last. However, the serial bus HDD newly connected can be registered to the middle number. When the
HDD being used is set to “Free” to be removed, the HDD
added is registered to the ID of the removed number.
