Features

Unit with built-in, large-volume hard disk drive

This unit realizes high-resolution playback of over 400 horizontal lines thanks to digital technology using JPEG
compression. There are 5 user-selectable image quality settings. The main device also features a built-in, large­volume 30GB hard disk for both high reliability and high-speed operation. Users can select from 12 recording
intervals ranging from 25 frames-per-second to one frame per 8 seconds, and up to a maximum 2,197,000
frames can be recorded consecutively.

Built-in 9-input multiplexer functions

With the number of operational cameras increasing, the combination of unit and multiplexer has become standard.
In our pursuit of the high-quality image playback characteristic of digital recording and a way to make the recording
operation more ideal, we have included a versatile multiplexer capability in this unit.

• Camera switching and split-screen display

Throughout terminals for non-simultaneous connection of 9 cameras. Split-screen modes of Single screen, SPLIT
4, or SPLIT 9 screens for sequential display.

• Timer Program link function

Registration of 3 kinds of camera recording operation patterns.
User-specifiable alteration, through use of the timer recording program, of the number of operational cameras by
schedule.

• Electronic display enlargement function

Electronic display enlargement of user-selected areas within the currently displayed image. For example, display
enlargement of the cash payment counter using the main unit’s controls.

Non-stop recording capabilities and recording media

To handle applications requiring long-term storage of recorded images, this unit is capable of using supplementary
devices to create backups and copies without interrupting hard disk recording. Used in conjunction with the wide
selection of media, this unit can handle many different kinds of non-stop recording.

• ARCHIVE media

Backup capability using the recording devices available on the market – such as DDS, DVD-RAM, and MO – as its
supplementary peripheral recording device.

• Backup while recording

Backup and copying operations without interrupting the non-stop recording operation.
Convenient maintenance b y using the Timer Program to designate the time of simultaneous backup oper ation; for
example, to create a complete backup on a given day of every week.

• Peripheral hard disk expansion

With 9-camera input capability, up to 3 peripheral hard disk drives (max. 132GB) can be added to supplement the
built-in hard disk when extended recording time is needed.

User-friendly operation

Because of the internal structural differences between standard Unit and time-lapse VCRs, there has been a
weakness in the area of intuitive operability. With consideration to this point, a control panel featuring the same
control key layout of time-lapse VCRs and a JOG /SHUTTLE have been used for this unit.

Versatile functions to support surveillance

• Audio recording function

1-channel PCM audio recording mode included. Along with clear surveillance images, clear audio quality of cash
register operation, customer conversations, etc.

• Image-alteration recognition function

Processing of each image recorded with this unit using a proprietary image-alteration recognition method.

• Versatile high-speed search operation

Easy searching using a proprietary searching algorithm. Options include searches through alarm input-time list,
designated days, skip/index searching, etc.

• Excellent expandability

Standard inclusion of RS-232C interface for remote PC control, and various control terminals. Flexible use even for
high-level security systems.

• Pre-alarm Recording function

Recording of images recorded before the alarm sensor detects disturbances. Enhanced surveillance effect through
the capture of the decisive moment before the alarm.

• 4-character year display

In consideration of the Y2K problem, a time-date generator using four characters for the year display is included.

■ Connecting with peripheral recording devices

By connecting peripheral recording devices to the main unit
through its SCSI interface (SCSI-II half-pitch 50-pin), storage
space can be increased and archive and copying functions
can be performed. Please consult with your retailer for infor­mation regarding which peripheral recording devices can be
used.

Make sure to turn off this Unit when connecting with

peripheral recording devices.

♦ Type of peripheral devices to be connected

Peripheral devices that can be connected to this unit include
hard disk drives (HDD), DDS drives (DDS-2, DDS-3), mag­neto-optical disks (640MB MO, overwriteable), etc. When the
unit is connected to peripheral devices, its PLAY DEVICE but­ton can be used to eject media from a designated device. Re­sponse may be slow depending on the type of peripheral de­vice used. In this case, the indicator light on the designating
playback device will begin flashing; other operations cannot
be performed when in this condition. Resume operation only
after the playback device’s indicator light illuminate. Please
use the unit’s PLAY DEVICE button e ven if the peripheral de­vice is equipped with its own eject button.

When using a DDS Drive, use DDS-1, DDS-2 or

DDS-3 cartridge. Please do not use any other medium
of recording such as DAT cassette for music, etc.

♦ Usable cables

Connections between the unit and its peripherals are made
using SCSI cables available on the market. As SCSI cables
differ with each connecting device, please check for the ap­propriate pin arrangement before use. Please consult with your
retailer with regard to the length of usable cables.

Warning concerning connections

A terminator is necessary to maintain proper electrical
connections to the peripheral devices. Please make
sure that the terminator is always attached to the last
peripheral device. (Depending on the device, the ter­minator may be built into the device. In this case, please
set the built-in terminator correctly .) Please use an ac­tive terminator for SCSI.

• When “A/B” is selected, the start- and end-times selected
using the USER SETUP button will be displayed. Refer to
page 25 for details on User button settings. Select “A/B” in
step 2 of the procedure outlined on the left, then complete
steps 5 and 6 to complete this setting.

Limits to the copy range can be established by first using
the automatic setting procedure described above to set
start-time and end-time, then performing the manual set­tings on the copy range described on the left.

♦ Automatic adjustments of Copy range

This copying method automatically adjusts copy size to the
copy medium’s available storage space, using one limit of

Other convenient functions (continued)

■ Power failure compensation circuit

The unit is equipped with an internal power failure com­pensation circuit, and, after a full recharge of 48 or more
hours, will preserve data and time settings for one month.
Timer settings and menu settings will also be preserved.
Time settings will not be precise, howe ver , if the circuit has
been unplugged for a long period of time. If this situation
continues, it is recommended that current time settings are
confirmed.

A maximum of 50 instances of power outage can

be displayed.

■ RESET button

The following conditions occur when the RESET button
located on the unit’s back panel is pressed (using a ball­point pen or other object): the current time is erased, the
system is reset, and main power is turned off. Recorded
data and menu settings will not be erased.

■ Simple lock function

When the LOCK button is pressed (with a ball-point pen,
for example), the unit’s buttons, JOG dial, and SHUTTLE
ring cannot be used, and the unit will remain fixed in its
current settings. The Multiplexer button (refer to page 6),
however, cannot be used with the LOCK function. Press
the LOCK button to cancel this function. The LOCK indica­tor light will show when the unit is in Lock mode.

■ PASSWORD LOCK function

Pressing the LOCK button on the front of the unit will en­able you to record a password.
Once the password has been entered and the unit has been
locked, the functions other than the camera switch will not
operate unless the correct password is entered.

■ Character Search

Characters can be added to both visuals and audio using a PC when the unit is connected to a PC via the RS-232C interface.
These characters will appear on screen during playback. (There is also the possibility that the characters will not be displayed.)
In addition, searches of images incorporating these characters, a process called Character Search, can also be performed.
Searches are carried out by designating the characters associated with a particular image.

1) Record characters “ABCDEF” and images simultaneously. (On the RS-232C settings screen, set CR/CR•LF to “CR”.)
The following are the two steps required for recording characters:

1 Set the character (or characters string) to be recorded;
2 Record the selected character(s).

By using the CM command, characters which have been set once can be recorded any number of times. To record a different
character set, use the CW command.

The unit received a command and executed.

Sending a command for serching "ABCDEF" by character
search in a direction of the time being.

The unit received a command and executed.

• Character searches can only be performed during stop, pause, and playback modes.

• The unit will fast forward or rewind until it finds the character string, then shift into still frame mode.

• If the unit does not find the character string, it will stop automatically.

• When there are multiple instances of the same character string, repeat character search if the retrieved image is not
the desired image.

• Character searches may be time-consuming as the process involves searching through all the data.

• Forward searching is the only option available when using a DDS device for playback.

Simultaneous Backup (Copying) method

In Simultaneous Backup (Copying), images input from the cameras
are recorded once on the unit’s hard disk and simultaneously copied
from the hard disk onto a removable archive/copying medium. Be­cause images are first recorded onto the hard disk, the unit performs
well for Alarm Recording and high-quality images needs, and can use
“blank time” to backup/copy onto the separate medium. In addition,
the unit marks the end of backup recording time through the use of
the Archive Pointer.

Archive Pointer

The Archive Pointer is used to mark, on the archiv e medium, the com­pletion of a backup process. For example, 100 hours of data recorded
on the unit’s hard disk is to be transferred to a medium with only 80
hours of available recording space. When the backup process is com­pleted, the Archive Pointer will memorize the hard disk’ s 80-hour mark.
When the next backup process is initiated, backup will begin at this
point.

Copying Device

The copying device is the peripheral device assigned to SCSI ID5. By
using the unit’s COPY button, this device can be made to copy (re­store) image data recorded over a designated time frame.

Archive Device

The archive device is the peripheral device assigned to SCSI ID4,
and performs the following: backup specification using the ARCHIVE
button or Timer Program, and backing up of image data using the

Restore function in the Copy settings.

Restore

Restore is the process in which image data transferred to the periph­eral recording device is restored on the unit’s hard disk. During the
Restore process, image data currently stored on the unit’s hard disk
is completely over-written.

SCSI Interface

The SCSI interface is the connection used expressly for transferring
image data between the unit and its peripheral devices. Each periph­eral is connected to the unit in a daisy-chain configuration, and is

given a unique ID number for detection/identification by the unit.

Relation of recording operation to the number of
cameras and recording interval settings

The recording pattern of this unit is as illustrated in the diagram be­low. Image data input from all the connected cameras is recorded
sequentially at a rate of [number of cameras x recording interval].
(Recording interval for each camera is 25F.)
For example, when four cameras are recording at intervals of 1 sec­ond, the unit takes four seconds to receive one cycle of image data
from the cameras. When this data is played back on a single-screen,
the display is refreshed once every four seconds.
