u Camera Selection Buttons (CAMERA SELECT)
These buttons select the camera for live picture or picture recorded on the tape. When the VTR is in playback
mode and the LED on the VTR/CAM Selection button is
on, these buttons select the specified camera picture
from the tape for display on the monitor. When the LED
is off, the buttons select the live picture of the specified
camera.
i Cursor Buttons (C, D, A, B)
These buttons move the cursor in the SETUP MENU of
the Video Multiplexer, or select an area for Electronic
Zooming.
C: Downward
D: Upward
A: Left
B: Right
o Increment/Decrement Buttons (–, +)
Electronic Zooming is operated with these buttons,
Zoom In with the + button and Zoom Out with the – but-
ton. During the setup, these buttons are used to select
parameters.
!0 Set Button (SET)
This button executes the selected parameter in the
setup menu, and opens a submenu for more detailed
settings. Menu items having a submenu are identified by
a return symbol at the end of the line.
!1 Still Button (STILL)
This button selects either still or moving mode for display
of the VTR playback on the monitor. Pressing a Camera
Selection button will display the corresponding picture
either in still or moving mode. When a still picture is displayed, the LED (Green) lights. Pressing the button
again restores the moving picture and turns off the LED.
Note: Please note that the tape continues running while
the picture is stilled. You may sometimes have to
rewind the tape to the desired position.
!2 Electric Zoom Button (EL-ZOOM)
This button specifies the zooming area in the playback
picture. Pressing this button displays the “+” sign representing the centre of the area to be enlarged. While the
“+” sign is displayed for 5 seconds, move the “+” sign
with the cursor buttons to the desired position and press
the Increment (+) button. The designated area is
enlarged.
To return to the normal picture press the Decrement (–)
or the EL-ZOOM button.
!3 MENU/ESC Button (MENU/ESC)
Pressing this button for 2 seconds or more opens the
Setup Menu of the Video Multiplexer. If pressed for less
than 1 second, it functions as the Escape button and
returns you to the previous menu.
To close the Setup menu when the setup is completed,
press the button for 2 seconds.
Notes:
• Make sure to distinguish between 1-second and 2second operation of this button.
• Opening the Setup menu does not affect the recording signal (REC OUT) output from the rear panel.
!4 VTR/Camera Selection Button (VTR/CAM)
This button selects either VTR playback or the camera
picture for display on the monitor. At the same time, it
disables or enables recording on the VTR, since the
connected VTR performs only playback or recording at a
time. The playback picture is displayed on the monitor if
you start playing back the VTR while the LED (Green) is
on. The camera picture is displayed on the monitor while
the LED is off. The camera picture is recorded on the
tape if you start the VTR recording.
Notes:
• If PLAYBACK AUTO is set to ON in the setup,
pressing this button is ignored, instead this button
follows the VTR status automatically. VTR is selected while playing back, and CAMERA is selected during non-playback mode of the VTR.
• There may be a delay of few seconds after switching
this button between VTR and CAMERA when PLAYBACK AUTO is ON.
• Blinking of the LED is a warning that the ID code is
missing in the playback signal. This may happen
when using certain VTR types. In this case, the playback picture goes straight to the monitor instead of
through the Video Multiplexer. As a result, the playback picture will not be recognizable unless only a
single channel is recorded throughout the tape.
