Major features
This digital recorder is able to record images captured by up to 16 surveillance cameras and audio received by up to 2
microphones to its hard disk. The recorder is equipped with the function to search for desired scenes by specifying the
recording dates as well as the simultaneous recording/playback function that allows playback even during recording. In
addition, using the split display function to display up to 16 camera images on one screen, you can view more than one
monitored area at the same time. This recorder facilitates to confi gure a monitoring system for constant surveillance.
Realizing long-term recording
By reducing the size of recorded video data using the newly developed video compression engine (MEPG 4 system), the
writing capacity of HDD can be saved about 50% (compared with our conventional models). In addition, this recorder is
designed to connect external HDD to expand its HDD capacity up to 16 TB (when using optionally available DX-ZD6UE). Due
to this, you can construct a long-term recording system to store data for 2 years, for example.
Simple operation and USB mouse connectable
By connecting a separately available USB mouse to the serial bus terminal on the recorder, you can easily control the
recorder and setting menus. For frequently used functions such as search and copy, the simple operation menu allows you
to operate them by simple procedure. This recorder is equipped with the on-screen help function. By clicking the help icon or
pressing the HELP button, you can view various information such as operation procedures on the screen.
DVD/CD drive for data copy integrated
Immediately after retrieving important reference data, you can copy the data to DVD/CD discs (DVD-R/DVD-RW, CD-R/CDRW) by the internal DVD/CD drive.
"One touch copy" for easy copying with one button press
The recorder is equipped with the function to copy still playback images to a USB memory device or DVD/CD disc with one
button press. You can select still images or moving images to copy. When selecting moving images, you can specify the
recording duration.
XGA output terminal integrated
You can connect a general PC display monitor to this terminal to use it as a surveillance monitor.
Motion detection search function
By designating certain areas such as doors and windows shown in recorded images as detection target areas, you can
search for recorded data containing scenes having variation (or motion) in those areas and display the beginning of such
data. This function is useful, for example, in searching for intruders into deserted places or scenes where someone painted
graffi ti on the wall.
Personal information protection function
By setting passwords, you can classify the recorder operations into 3 levels. You can set a password for deleting data from
HDD to protect them from unauthorized access or to use this function as misuse prevention. The recorder is equipped with
the function to prohibit playback of data recorded before the number of days you specify (auto expiration setting), which
facilitates data management according to your operation standard regarding the data storage period.
Alarm notifi cation of intrusion and system errors
When an alarm signal is input to the recorder from external body sensors or when an error is detected in the system,
the recorder notifi es the designated personal computer via TCP/IP command or e-mail. The recorder is also capable of
transferring the alarm-recorded images that is triggered by an external alarm signal to the designated FTP server.

Changing installation location
• When moving this unit, be sure to turn off the MAIN switch, make sure that the unit is completely stopped, and then
unplug the power cord. When this unit is exposed to excessive shock while being energized, the internal electronic
parts or HDD may be damaged. Be careful especially while the power indicator or access indicator is blinking.
• Don't move this unit for at least one minute after you turn off the power. Even after the power is turned off, the disc
in the HDD keeps rotating by inertia for a while and the head is in an unstable state. This unit in such state is more
vulnerable to vibrations and shocks than while being energized. Be careful not to give this unit even a slight shock for
at least one minute after turning off the power. Wait at least one minute for the disc to stop, and then you can move the
product.
• When moving this unit, cover it with shock absorbers to prevent shocks to the inside.
• When placing this unit on a fl oor, lay it gently on a soft mat or cloth.
Maintenance
• Gently wipe dirt off the cabinet with a soft cloth.
• When dirt persists, clean it off using a cloth soaked in water-diluted neutral detergent and wrung well and then wipe
dry.
• When using a chemical cleaning cloth, follow its instructions.
• Don't use solvent such as benzene and thinner. Otherwise the surface of the product may deteriorate or the coating
may come off.
Notes for constructing a surveillance system using this unit
• This unit can be controlled by external devices via the external connector, RS-232C connector, or LAN connector. In
addition, external devices can be controlled via the external connector, RS422/485 connector, or RS-232C connector.
These functions allow this unit to fl exibly support an advanced security system. However, depending on the settings
of this unit or connection or combination with external devices, this unit or externally connected devices may operate
wrongly, causing adverse effects on the entire surveillance system.
• When constructing a surveillance system using this unit, you are recommended to check its operation by connecting or
combining it with other devices in advance.
• Don't use the alarm function of this unit for the purpose of making serious decisions or for applications involving human
lives.
• When this unit becomes unable to recognize an external device in recording because of a power failure, voltage drop,
or other failure, the recording point may move to the HDD inside this unit or other HDD. To prevent such symptom, it is
recommended to use an uninterrupted power supply or other similar device.
• When you unplug the power cord or turn off the breaker during recording, the HDD may be broken or recorded data
may become unable to be played back. When you turn on and off the breaker every day, program the timer recording
to be performed while the breaker is on and don't turn off the breaker during recording.
• When the user or any third party uses external devices wrongly, or external devices are affected by electric noise or
they are damaged or repaired, the saved data may be lost. Mitsubishi doesn't take any responsibility for damages
related to such data loss.
• By connecting external HDDs to this unit, you can expand the memory or use them as a copy device. However, when
you perform recording, playback, or copy at a high rate using this unit, recording or playback data dropout or other
failure may occur depending on the connected device because of slow data transfer or slow response. Be sure to
check for such failure before starting the practical operation of the unit.
• Don't use the function to control the powers of external devices using the bus power of this unit.
• External devices you want to use may not be suitable for the intended application of this unit. For details, you are
recommended to contact your Mitsubishi dealer.
• When connecting external devices, be sure to secure the connected cables using the supplied clamp bands. When the
cables are disconnected or not connected fi rmly, the system may become unstable or images may not be recorded.

Emergency recording
When the EMERGENCY terminal receives a signal, the
recorder starts recording images from all the selected
cameras with the highest picture quality based on the FPS
rate you preset for emergency recording.
Pre-emergency recording
Pre-emergency recording is a function to start recording
maximum 30 minutes before the start of emergency
recording.
Recording start/stop triggered by external contact signal
You can start or stop recording using the EVENT terminals
of the I/O terminals on the rear panel of the recorder. (
page 108)
The settings of Recording A are used in this recording
method.
This function doesn't work during timer recording.
Recording types
Normal recording
Recording is performed at the recording picture quality and
FPS you preset for normal recording.
Alarm recording
Upon receipt of a trigger for starting alarm recording, the
recorder starts recording at the recording picture quality and
FPS you preset for alarm recording.
You can configure advanced recording settings by
making settings for normal recording and alarm recording
separately. For example, you can change the FPS rate
of the camera used for alarm recording while keeping the
normal recording settings.
Pre-alarm recording
Pre-alarm recording is a function to start recording
maximum 30 minutes before the start of alarm recording.

Tips
• Because the recorder copies or searches recorded
data based on the date and time of recording, check
that the recorder's clock is correct before you start
recording.
• You cannot change the recording settings during
normal recording and alarm recording. To change the
settings, stop recording. When alarm recording by
motion detection is enabled, recording may not be
stopped because of frequent alarm inputs. In this case,
set [Alarm input] to [Off] on the <Recording settings>
screen to temporarily prohibit alarm input (for max. 5
minutes). (
• It is necessary to check the repeat recording settings
before you start recording. Check the repeat recording
settings and then make the recording settings. (
Page 40)
• The warning display saying “Camera image is lost
or distorted” appears when the video signal is lost or
an error is detected even while the recorder is not in
recording. This warning is issued for the cameras set
for normal, alarm, and emergency recordings. Exclude
unused cameras from the recording setting.
Page 65)
Playback during recording
You can play back already recorded data while continuing
recording.
• Images being played back may be stopped temporarily
or the audio may be interrupted.
• Noise may appear in the images during playback
using the jog/shuttle.
• The layout on the split screen is saved individually for
live and playback.

Supplementary explanations on recording settings
Alarm recording
• When alarm recording or emergency recording is
performed during timer recording, the end time of the
timer recording is put off till the completion of the alarm
recording or the emergency recording.
• When the alarm recording time is set to [Manual],
the recording time of motion detection recording is 5
seconds.
• When a power failure occurs during alarm recording
or emergency recording, the alarm recording or the
emergency recording resumes after the recovery
from the power failure. The cumulative recording time
before the power failure is reset and it starts from the
beginning again.
• When alarm signals are input to multiple sensors at
the same time, the recorder may not register all the
alarm events to the alarm list.
Frame recording
• When the picture size is set to [4CIF] or [CIF], images
are recorded frame by frame. When you play back
recorded images having rapid motion, they may
appear shaking. When such shaking images are
annoying, see "Display a playback image in fi eld" (
page 112).
Caution in changing recording operations
• When the picture size or recording rate changes due
to the change of recording operation (for example,
from normal recording to alarm recording, from normal
recording to emergency recording, switching the
timer operation), the recording may be interrupted
temporarily (for approximately one second). The
interruption time becomes longer as the load of the
recorder increases.
• In the case that there is a large difference between
the picture qualities for normal recording and alarm
recording, the recorder may take time to achieve the
designated picture quality when the recording mode
changes from normal recording to alarm recording or
from alarm recording to normal recording.

ENGLISH
Supplementary explanations on preliminary recording
Preliminary recording is a function to start recording
maximum 30 minutes before the start of alarm recording or
emergency recording.
Picture quality and FPS
• The picture quality and FPS of the normal recording
or alarm recording being executed are applied to the
preliminary recording.
• When executing preliminary recording and normal
recording or alarm recording at the same time, set the
picture quality and FPS, considering that preliminary
recording is always performed in the background.
Depending on the settings, images may be dropped
during recording.
• When the FPS for both normal and alarm recordings
are set to [---], preliminary recording is not performed
even if the recording time is specifi ed.
• In the case of recording to serial bus HDDs, the
transmission rate decreases. Check in advance that
data are recorded without dropping.
Recording cameras
• Cameras you want to use for preliminary recording
should be selected for normal or alarm recording.
HDD used for recording
• Pre-recorded data of alarm recording and emergency
recording are temporarily stored in the dedicated
areas in the built-in HDDs. When only 1 built-in HDD is
available, the amount of pre-recorded data that can be
stored may decrease.
When both built-in HDDs are unavailable, pre-
recorded data are not stored. In addition, you cannot
set or change the preliminary recording settings
Before starting the practical operation of the recorder,
check that both built-in HDDs are ready for use.
System of alarm recording and emergency recording
• When preliminary recording is enabled for alarm
recording or emergency recording, data are always
recorded to the HDD for preliminary recording.
When an alarm or emergency event occurs, the
preliminary recorded data and post-alarm recorded
data are transferred to the HDD for normal, alarm, and
emergency recording.
• Normal- and alarm-recorded data are transferred with
a delay of the designated Pre-alarm time. Therefore,
to retrieve the latest recorded data, search the data
in the HDD (Preliminary) using the time date search.
Data are not saved in the HDD (Preliminary) when the
preliminary recording is disabled.
HDD for preliminary

Cautions on motion detection setting
• When variation is detected continuously, alarm
recording is also continuously performed. Therefore,
you cannot change the recording settings, etc. In this
case, you can suspend the motion detection function
forcibly for 5 minutes by setting [Alarm input] on
the <Recording settings> screen to [Off]. When you
stop recording during this period, you can change
the recording settings, etc. The motion detection
function automatically resumes in 5 minutes and
this is registered to the system log list. To cancel the
prohibition of alarm input manually, set [Alarm input] to
[On].
• When both the ALARM IN terminal on the rear panel
and the motion detection are selected as the trigger for
starting alarm recording, the ALARM IN terminal takes
priority when both events occur simultaneously.
• The M-DET indicator illuminates while the motion
detection function is in operation.
• The motion detection function of this recorder may not
operate correctly depending on the conditions of input
video signals especially when the motion detection
sensitivity is set to high level. Be careful when the
recorder is connected to the system that issues an
alarm using the motion detection function of this
recorder.
• To perform alarm recording by motion detection, set
[Input] of [Alarm input/output] to [MD-A], [MD-B],
[EXTorMD-A], [EXTorMD-B], [EXT&MD-A], or
[EXT&MD-B], and set the FPS for alarm recording of
the selected cameras to other than [---].
• The motion detection function of this recorder detects
motion by detecting variation in brightness. Therefore,
the function may malfunction because of change in
the lighting or sunlight or may fail to detect under such
condition as that a person is wearing the same color of
clothes as the background. Be sure to test the function
suffi ciently before starting the practical operation.
• When alarms by motion detection occur quite
frequently, the recorder's operations such as alarm
recording, communication, and screen display may
become slow. It is recommended to use normal
,
recording for monitoring places where motion is
constantly detected.
• You can set multiple active areas per camera.
• The image captured by the selected camera is
displayed as the background.

Playing back recorded data
You can play back recorded data. This recorder is able to
play back recorded images by various methods. The most
basic playback method is described below.
1 Press the PLAY button inside the door on the
front panel of the recorder.
•
The recorder plays back data stored in the device
you selected in the above procedure "Selecting the
playback device."
•
After the power is turned on, playback starts from
the oldest recorded data. Otherwise, playback starts
from the point where it was stopped last time.
•
When images are played back in the 10-, 13-, or
16-split screen mode, black bars appear at the top
and bottom of 1/16-size images.
• When you change the multiplexer, playback direction,
or playback speed during playback, a black screen
may be displayed.
• When you change the multiplexer or the playbackrelated settings during playback, or when you play
back data where recording status was changed due to
change of recording operation, a black screen may be
displayed or image dropout may occur.
• This recorder uses the motion picture compression
format. Due to this, the recorder may take time to
display the playback picture.
• When the picture size or recording rate changes due
to the change of recording operation (for example,
from normal recording to alarm recording, from normal
recording to emergency recording, switching the
timer operation), the recording may be interrupted
temporarily (for approximately one second). The
interruption time becomes longer as the load of the
recorder increases.
• Settings are retained even when the MAIN switch on
the rear panel of the recorder is turned off or when a
power failure occurs.
• When [Activate repeat playback] ( page 111) is
disabled, playback stops when reaching the physical
end of the HDD or the end of the recorded data. When
[Activate repeat playback] is enabled, the recorded
data are played back repeatedly.
• When you press the PAUSE/JUMP TO END button
while the playback is stopped, images around the end
of the latest recorded data are played back in the still
image playback mode.
• When you start playback in the sleep mode, [HDD is
booting] is displayed.

[HDD (Copy)]: Data are copied to HDD registered
as the copy device. When the available space runs
out during copying, the recorder stops copying.
5 Set the copy conditions.
[Auto eject]: Upon completion of copying to a DVD/
CD disc, the disc tray is automatically opened. You
can select this option only when the copy destination
device is [DVD/CD].
• When repeat recording to the normal recording area
or alarm recording area (
page 40) is disabled and
alarm recording (or emergency recording) is started
at the end of the HDD, that recording may not be
registered in the alarm list.
• When you copy an image from a camera that is not
corresponding to the alarm sensor number to external
media, the alarm list same as that of the recorder
cannot be made.
Tips
• When the alarm list contains only the small number of
alarm events, the recorder may take time to display
the alarm list.
• The alarm list shows alarm recording events (or
emergency recording events) that occurred on or
before the designated date and time, from the one
having the recording date and time closest to the
designated date and time.
• When multiple alarm events such as motion detection
and grounding of the ALARM IN terminal on the rear
panel occur at the same time, the recorder may not be
able to register all of their start time in the alarm list.
In this case, the alarm event of the sensor having the
smallest sensor number is registered in the alarm list.
• When you delete data from the HDD, the
corresponding alarm event is also deleted from the
alarm list.
• To display alarm recording events (or emergency
recording events) that started while the alarm list is
being displayed, carry out the search again. In this
case, it may be required to designate the date and
time to search again.
The list may not be displayed until the recorded data
are stored in the HDD. When preliminary recording is
enabled, the data are transferred with a delay of the
designated time and therefore, the list takes some
more time to be displayed.

Caution in copying data
• When the size of the data to be copied is larger than
the remaining capacity of the copy destination device
such as USB memory device and HDD, the estimated
size of the data to be copied indicates the remaining
capacity of the copy destination device. You are
recommended to check that all data in the designated
range were copied after the completion of copying.
• With a personal computer containing the special PC
viewing/communication software, you can play back
data copied to a DVD/CD disc or USB memory device.
When you copy a still image, double-click the fi le on a
personal computer containing the special PC viewing/
communication software.
When you copy moving images, use the DX-Viewer to
select the folder and start playback.
• You are recommended to avoid adding data to media
already containing important records. If data are not
added properly, the already existing data may not be
read out anymore.
• When you copy the picture from multiple cameras,
copy start time may be delayed from the designated
time depending on the camera (especially for the
camera recorded at low FPS rate).
• In the case that [Calculation failed] appears after you
execute the test, check whether the disc is inserted,
whether the disc format is compatible with the
recorder, and whether the DVD/CD drive is recognized
properly.
• When you close the copy process screen and then
display it again, [Preparing for copy] may be displayed
for a while.
• Even when [Media Full] is selected, the remaining
capacity of the copy destination device may not
decrease to 0.
• When you copy or search the data recorded on a DVD/
CD or USB memory, it may take some time before the
media is completely recognized after inserted. Before
you perform copy or search, check whether the access
lamp of the DVD/CD drive or USB memory blinks.
• When you perform copy without executing the test, the
copy status indication does not progress in sync with
the amount of actually copied data.
• When the USB memory device is write-protected,
disable the protection before use.
• Since the data are copied in 64 MB units, you cannot
use the device with the remaining capacity of less than
64 MB as the copy device.
• With this recorder, up to 4 GB USB memory devices
are usable. USB devices with 128 MB or less capacity
are not supported.

addition, even images detected by different sensors
may not be attached and only the messages may be
e-mailed unless an interval of at least 3 seconds is
given.
• Against failure of message transmission and
undelivered messages, the e-mail function of this
recorder has been designed to implement measures
such as saving e-mail messages temporarily and resending them. However, when a heavy load is applied
to the recorder because of high-quality and high-rate
recording or when the communication line is busy or it
has a problem, the recorder may not be able to notify
of all the detected events. Consider this matter when
incorporating the recorder into an alarm reporting

E-mail notifi cation
Notice
This recorder issues e-mail notification of operation
errors and recording status. You can combine notified
events such as operation errors and recording status, and
notifi cation can be sent to up to 3 e-mail addresses. Use
the Web browser or the special PC viewing/communication
software to enable this function. Authentication for e-mail
transmission supports POPbeforeSMTP and SMTP_AUTH

notifi ed events. Events that frequently occur may not
be always notifi ed.
• The e-mail transmission function of this recorder does
not support all e-mail servers.
• Image attached to e-mail is in general JPEG format.
• When the recording rate is extremely high, image
cannot be attached to e-mail due to restrictions on the
compression circuit. To attach an image to e-mail, the
total recording rate of the recording settings should be
set to three-quarters or less of the maximum value.

images of the camera corresponding to the terminal
(ALARM IN or EMERGENCY) that receives a trigger
signal is attached to e-mail.
• To attach an image, select [Alarm].
• When multiple events to be notifi ed occur at the same
time, notification may be delayed or some of the
events may not be notifi ed.
