PREFACE

The WJ-HD500B Digital Disk Recorder is a combination of a Hard Disk Recorder with a Video Multiplexer; it is able to record the images of up to sixteen sequentially controlled video inputs on the built-in hard disk.
A multi-recording function records simultaneously several images from various applications; this enables you to obtain reliable records by selecting the application which is best suited for your purpose.

FEATURES

• One recorder can handle sixteen video inputs, divid­ed into four groups, corresponding to various appli­cations.
Dividing the sixteen video inputs into four groups makes it possible to record several images simultane­ously, depending on the system requirements, such as varied input, image quality, recording time, etc.
• Reliable recording of events
Obtain reliable records of important events by selecting the recording mode best suited. There are three recording modes: One Shot, Multi Shot and Time Lapse Recording.
• Easy image search
Three search modes for quick and easy images search: rotating the shuttle ring, recording list and thumbnail display.
• Other handy recording functions
• Use the program timer to preset the recording time and mode for each day of the week.
• Emergency recording is given priority to record all video inputs in Time Lapse Recording while the input is received from an outboard device.
• Connect the extension units in series for uninterrupted recording when the disk is full.

The mirroring function uses an auxiliary array of inexpen­sive disks to record the same data on two disks at the same time. If an error or malfunction occurs on one of the hard disks, the other disk still records the data normally. This ensures reliability of the system, since the data will always be avail­able on one of the disks.
To use this function, the Disk Recorder must be equipped with an optional internal hard disk. Refer to the installation for details of installing the disk.
Note: It is recommended to set up this function when
the Disk Recorder is operated for the first time. Otherwise the previously recorded data will be erased by activating this function.
The mirroring function can only be set during the power up procedure, as shown below.
1. Turn on the Disk recorder by pressing the POWER switch located on the rear of the Disk Recorder. Make sure that the OPERATE indicator on the front panel is illuminated.
2. After you completed the start, the Disk Recorder will run through a series of instructions for the system on the Multiscreen Monitor.

HARD DISK and RECORDING

The WJ-HD500B Hard Disk Recorder records the images on the Hard Disk as shown below, dividing space into six disk sec­tors. There are three recording modes, Time Lapse, Multi Shot and One Shot, to obtain reliable records by selecting the mode best suited for your purpose.

Hard Disk

As described above, the divided hard disks are used for each recording method (Manual, Internal Programmed Timer, etc.), as shown below.
Manual Recorder
Records time lapse recording manually by selecting [OFF] for the timer. Power on recording is also enabled by selecting [EXT] for the timer.
Timer Recorder
Records the assigned camera group input with the internal timer in three recording modes by selecting [INT] for timer. The same camera input can not be assigned to another group.
Emergency Recorder
This recording is given priority to record all video inputs in Time Lapse Recording while the input is received from an out­board device.
Note: With the above method, the hard disk space is divided into imaginary sectors, but there are no partitions. For this
reason, there is no pre-determined disk space for each recorder.

Time Lapse Recording

The Time Lapse Recording records freeze images at regular intervals until the end of the recording operation.
• Manual and External (Power-on) Timer Recording is recorded in this mode on the Manual Recorder. Refer to the Manual Recording Setup for further details.
• Emergency Recording is also recorded in this mode on the Emergency Recorder. Refer to the Emergency Recording Setup for further details.
• This recording mode is also available as Internal Timer Recording with the assigned program timer. Refer to the assigned program timer for further details.
The Time Lapse Recording mode records images as shown below.
Notes:
• The thumbnail is based on an image as soon as the recorder starts recording.
• The recording number is automatically assigned and renewed after 5 000 images. The thumbnail is also made with an image at that time.

Multi Shot Recording

The Multi Shot Recording is an event-recording function reacting to an alarm input when the recording timer is set to the inter­nal timer [INT]. It records the number of images in pre- and post-recording. Pre-recording is the recorded images during standby, prior to the input of an alarm signal. Post-recording is the recorded images after the input of the alarm signal. The Multi Shot Recording mode is a setting that can be assigned with the program timer. The Multi Shot Recording mode records images on the Timer Recorder, corresponding to the alarm input signal, as shown below. For example, camera inputs 1, 2, 3 and 4 are assigned to a group.
Dynamic Recording is set to OFF
Records the assigned camera input in a specified number of pre- and post-recording when an alarm is received.
