1. In the above system, when Operators 1 and 2 both select camera 3 simultaneously, the selection of Operator 1 is allowed
because Operator 1 has a higher priority.
2. Operator 2 can not select camera 6 because operator’s partitioning limits access to cameras 1-5 by Operator 2.
3. Operator 2 can not control Monitor 3 because controller partitioning prevents access to monitor 3 by Operator 2.
■ Synchronizing the Sequence
with External Timing
The camera switching interval (Sequence Dwell Time) can
be synchronized with the time lapse mode set in the associated Time Lapse VCR.
Select the On or Off mode on the EXT Timing Select table to
meet each monitor’s requirements.
■ Printer
A parallel printer can be used to print out the Status, Alarm
Recall or Setup data.
The recommended printer to use is the Panasonic KXP1624 Impact Dot Matrix Printer.
1
Caution: Set the interval time for the external timing signal
of the external equipment to 1 second or more.
If the interval is set to less than 1 second, the system
will not work properly.
■ Cable Compensation/VD2
Cable Compensation
This feature is used to compensate for signal loss due to
cable length.
The most suitable position for cable-loss compensation can
be selected in the Set Up Menu.
Available cable length compensations are shown
below.
S: Up to 400 m (1 300 ft)
M: 400 m (1 300 ft) to 700 m (2 300 ft)
L: 700 m (2 300 ft) to 900 m (3 000 ft)
(When using RG-59/U, BELDEN 9259 or equivalent)
VD2 (V ertical drive Sync Signal)
The VD2 (Vertical Drive Sync Signal) can be turned On or
Off by using the Set Up Menu.
Select VD2 On or Off to meet camera requirements.
■ RS-232C Port
This port is used for connecting with a Personal Computer.
