DESCRIPTION
Thank you and congratulations on selecting Pelco’s Genex™ Series multiplexer. You have
chosen to work with the highest quality, most sophisticated yet easy-to-use video multiplexer on the market today. Using ActiveImage™ technology, the Genex™ Series multiplexers have exceptionally high resolution digital multiple-screen displays.
With the addition of the KBD4000 remote keyboard and/or the MX4000SVR multiplexer
server, the Genex™ Series offers the greatest degree of system flexibility and expandability
as well.
WHAT IS A VIDEO MULTIPLEXER?
Wherever closed circuit television (CCTV) systems are used, there is often a need to
record and display many different camera views. Whether it is in a small retail environment,
a large casino, or an airport, multiplexers have become the preferred method of collecting
pictures from as many as 16 cameras for recording on a single time-lapse VCR.
In addition, multiplexers allow users to watch up to 16 cameras simultaneously on one
screen, either live or in playback. Should a scene require closer examination, the user can
select full-screen viewing without the loss of detail, as occurs with “quad” devices that
compress four pictures into one for recording.
The multiplexer acts as an interface between the CCTV cameras and the time-lapse VCR.
The multiplexer is designed to switch between cameras much like an ordinary sequential
switcher. Unlike a switcher, however, a multiplexer should switch at exactly the same rate
as the VCR is recording so that just one video picture, or field, is recorded from each
camera before it switches to the next camera. The reason for this is that with a large
number of cameras, you need to switch as fast as you possibly can in order to minimize the
time gap between successive pictures from a given camera.
In most respects, time-lapse VCRs are very similar to the VHS video recorder that you
probably have in your home. The single largest difference is that a time-lapse VCR allows
as much as 960 hours of video to be recorded on a single T-120 (two-hour) VHS cassette.
The total amount of time varies by make and model, but even the lowest cost models allow
for a lot longer recording time than a normal consumer VCR.
When you record a tape on your home VCR and play the tape, you see normal motion, just
as you do on your television. If you connect one camera to a multiplexer and record the
video at the two-hour speed on a time-lapse recorder, motion will appear normal when you
play the tape, just like on your home VCR. But as you add more cameras to the multiplexer,
the multiplexer has to switch between cameras and there is a gap in the video pictures
recorded for any one camera. The more cameras there are, the longer the gap is because
it takes longer for the multiplexer to switch between all the cameras. When the tape is
played, the motion becomes jerky because of the missing video.
Pelco Manual C1927M (5/99) 5
Not only does the number of cameras affect the time gap, but so does the recording speed.
The slower the recording speed, the longer the gap. Normal recording speed for full motion
is the two-hour mode. But if you slow the recording speed down to record 12 hours, 48
hours, or 960 hours of video on a two-hour tape, it means that a lot of video is left out.
Thus, the more cameras there are and the slower the recording speed, the longer the time
gap becomes between recorded pictures for any one camera. It is important to understand
this concept because, depending on what you are recording, important video could be lost.
In a system with two or three cameras recording in 12-hour mode, a person might appear
on the left side of the screen, then the left center, then the right center, and finally the right
side of the screen. But in a system with 16 cameras recording in 120-hour mode, a person
might appear on the left side of the screen and be gone in the next picture.
GENEX™ SERIES SIMPLEX MULTIPLEXERS
The MX4000 Genex™ Series is a high-quality family of simplex multiplexers that can
accept video inputs from a maximum of 9 or 16 cameras, depending on the model. The
simplex multiplexers have three modes of operation: live, record, and VCR.
• In the live mode, the main monitor can show live video both in full-screen or multiplescreen views. You cannot record in the live mode.
• In the record mode, the main monitor will show live video of an individual camera in
full-screen view only. You can record only in the record mode. While recording, all
cameras are being recorded simultaneously.
• In the VCR mode, the main monitor will display full-screen or multiple-screen views of
videotape playback. You cannot record in the VCR mode.
Video from the cameras can be shown on two monitors: main and spot.
The main monitor displays video from a single camera or from multiple cameras. Video can
be either live or from a tape playback. Multiple-screen displays can be picture-in-picture, 4-,
9-, or 16-camera formats.
A spot monitor displays live video from a single camera. A spot monitor is optional, but
increases the flexibility of your system. For example, you can keep an eye on all cameras
in a multiple-screen format on the main monitor while watching a full-screen view of any
one camera on the spot monitor. Or, if you are playing a tape on the main monitor, you can
use the spot monitor to watch live video.
Cameras can be sequenced on both monitors.
In the full-screen view on the main monitor, a zoom function doubles or quadruples the
image size for better viewing.
Depending on the model, there are 9 or 16 alarm inputs–one per camera–that tag the
camera images when an alarm is activated. The main and spot monitors can be programmed to display alarms. Alarm inputs also activate a relay output, which can be used to
change a VCR to its preprogrammed alarm record speed. When there is an alarm, the
VCR, depending on how it is programmed, will either record alarm cameras only or record
both alarm and non-alarm cameras. An alarm log lists the last 20 alarms.
Activity detection continually monitors selected camera inputs for motion. When the
multiplexer detects motion, it increases the frequency at which it records a camera or
cameras with motion. The main and spot monitors can be programmed to display motiondetection activated switching.
APPLICATIONS
The MX4000 Genex™ Series is very flexible in its design, allowing you to configure your
system in a variety of ways.
The simplest system is a stand-alone multiplexer (refer to Figure 1). All you have to do is
connect cameras, monitors, a VCR, and alarm inputs. Operation of the multiplexer is done
with front panel push buttons.

NOTE:
The KBD4000 keyboard in combination with a
multiplexer provides
Coaxitron
®
control of pan,
tilt, and lens functions.
When used with 15-bit stan-
dard Coaxitron
®
receivers,
such as the CX9000 Series,
the PT7700, and the ED25/
27/28/29, the KBD4000 keyboard in conjunction with a
multiplexer supports all pan,
tilt, and lens functions, and
AUX on/off. The keyboard
will not set or call presets or
support preset scanning.
By adding a KBD4000 keyboard to the multiplexer (refer to Figure 2), you can control 1-16
multiplexers from up to 25 feet (7.6 m) away with the cable supplied with the keyboard.
Greater distances between the multiplexer and keyboard can be obtained if you provide a
Pelco KBDKIT(-X) and your own cable.
A keyboard also gives you the added capability of controlling moveable cameras. Control
systems for moveable cameras must be Coaxitron® compatible. In Figure 1 cameras are
fixed.
The systems shown in Figures 1 and 2 are for a single operator only. To permit up to four
operators to use the system, an MX4000SVR multiplexer server can be added, as shown in
Figure 3.
The main and spot monitor outputs from each multiplexer are connected to the server,
providing two video channels. The design is not a true matrix, however, because only two
operators (instead of all operators in a true matrix ) can select cameras from the same
multiplexer at the same time, one operator using the main monitor and the other operator
using the spot monitor.
When used with 32-bit extended Coaxitron
such as Intercept
®
, and LRD41C21/

, Spec-
LRD41C22 Series, the
KBD4000 keyboard in conjunction with a multiplexer
will support all the functions
of a 15-bit receiver, including the setting and calling of
presets and patterns. It will
not support programming of
labels for presets or patterns. If labels for presets or
patterns are required, they
would need to be programmed with a different
control, such as the
MPT9500.

MONITORS
Main Monitor - The main monitor can show live video of an individual camera or a
sequence of individual cameras, the same as the spot monitor. But the main monitor is the
only monitor that can show multi-screen displays (more than one camera displayed
simultaneously), run multi-screen sequences, play back video from a VCR, or use the
digital zoom feature of the multiplexer. These functions can be done only when the multiplexer is in DISPLAY mode. The multiplexer will not record in DISPLAY mode.
The monitor can be overridden by an alarm(s) and/or activity detection.
Cameras are digitally time corrected in LIVE and VCR modes and will not roll when
sequenced if they are out of phase.
Connect your main monitor to the MAIN output. Refer to Table A for the type of video
coaxial cable to use.
Spot Monitor (Optional) - The operator can manually call up live video of an individual
camera or a sequence of individual cameras.
The monitor can be overridden by an alarm(s) and/or activity detection.
Cameras are not digitally time corrected and will roll when sequenced if they are out of phase.
Connect your spot monitor to the SPOT output. Refer to Table A for the type of video
coaxial cable to use.
Proceed to the
VCR
section.
VCR
If you have a Pelco VCR, proceed to the next section,
You can connect one VCR to the multiplexer to record or play tapes.
To connect a VCR:
1. Connect the video. Refer to Figure 6.
For monochrome multiplexers, use standard VCRs. For color multiplexers, use
standard or SVHS VCRs.
For standard VCRs, use the BNC connectors. Refer to Table A for the type of video
coaxial cable to use. For SVHS VCRs, use the SVHS connectors. Use video cable
designed for SVHS.
a. Connect the VCR OUT connector on the multiplexer to the VIDEO IN on your VCR.

match that of the VCR. There are two ways to do this:
a. One way is with a head switching pulse from the VCR. This is the most reliable
way to synchronize the multiplexer and VCR. The pulse from the VCR tells the
multiplexer how fast to switch between cameras. To use this method, connect the
head switching pulse output from the VCR to the HS (head switching) connection
on the multiplexer. Refer to Figure 6. The six-pin plug-in terminal block may be
pulled out of the connector on the back of the multiplexer to facilitate ease of
wiring.
b. If a head switching pulse from the VCR is not available, you can synchronize the
VCR and multiplexer by programming the multiplexer switching rate to match the
recording speed of the VCR. This will be done in the
Programming
section, after
you have finished installing your multiplexer. No wiring is required if you use this
method.

Y ou can connect one of Pelco’s Time-Lapse VCR Models TLR2024, TLR2096, or TLR2168
to the multiplexer as follows (refer to Figure 7):
1. Connect BNC video cable between the VCR connectors on the multiplexer and the
VIDEO connectors on the VCR.
2. Automatic Speed Tracking lets the VCR control the multiplexer’s recording speed. It is
the most efficient recording method. To wire (refer to the “B” lines in Figure 7):
a. Connect the VCR’s CLK output to the multiplexer’s head switching (HS) input to
synchronize camera switching.
b. Connect the multiplexer’s ground terminal to the VCR’s GND terminal.
3. Alarm recording starts and stops recording when there are alarms. To wire (refer to the
“A” lines in Figure 7):
a. Connect the multiplexer’s normally open (NO) relay terminal to the VCR’s SET IN
(alarm input) terminal.
b. Connect the multiplexer’s common (C) terminal to the VCR’s GND terminal.
Proceed to the
Alarms
section.
ALARMS
Alarm inputs require a ground signal through a contact opening or closure, such as a switch
or relay.
To wire the alarm inputs (refer to Figure 8):
1. Connect one wire from the alarm source (for example, door) to one of the alarm input
pins of the multiplexer. The alarm input must correspond to the camera input. There is
only one alarm input per camera.
The eight-pin plug-in terminal blocks may be pulled out of the connectors on the back
of the multiplexer to facilitate ease of wiring.
2. Connect a second wire from the alarm source to one of the ground connections on the
six-pin plug-in terminal block on the back of the multiplexer.

3. Alarm inputs will be programmed in the
normally closed operation.
Normally closed operation = current flow = alarm switch or relay closed
Normally open operation = no current flow = alarm switch or relay open
In the example in Figure 8, current flows through the contacts (switch) in the door
when it is closed. When the door is open, no current flows. To cause an alarm when
the door is opened, program the alarm input for normally closed (door is normally
closed). To cause an alarm when the door is closed, program the alarm input for
normally open (door is normally open).
4. If your VCR has an alarm input to change the VCR to its alarm recording speed when
the multiplexer receives an alarm, connect the VCR alarm input to the normally open
(NO) relay contact on the multiplexer. Connect a wire from the relay’s common (C)
connection to ground on the VCR.

POWERING THE MULTIPLEXER
It is recommended that multiplexers being powered up for the first time or after extended
storage be initialized using the following procedure. This will clear any random data
remaining in the multiplexer and initialize the memory for user programming.
1. Turn on power to your cameras, monitors, and any other equipment that is connected
to the multiplexer.
2. Plug in one end of the power cord into the multiplexer.
3. Press and hold the VIEW button on the front panel of the multiplexer while you plug
the power cord into an electrical outlet. When the Initialization Menu appears, release
the VIEW button. The monitor will indicate PLEASE WAIT and begin a 20-second
countdown. When the countdown has been completed, the Initialization Menu will
disappear, all programming menus will be at their default settings, and the multiplexer
will be ready for use.
If you are installing your system with a KBD4000 keyboard or MX4000SVR Multiplexer
Server, proceed to the appropriate section for further installation instructions.

PROGRAMMING
NOTE:
plexer server is installed,
programming the multiplexer
must be done at the multiplexer front panel. In this
situation, the multiplexer
cannot be programmed from
the keyboard. The keyboard
can only be used to program
the multiplexer server, not
the multiplexer.

Setup, Camera, and Advanced System Setup
menus. Program activity detection in the System
Setup, Camera, and Advanced System Setup
menus. Multiplexer must be in the RECORD
mode to record alarms or activity.
Programming allows you to configure the multiplexer for the way that you want your system
to operate. The multiplexer automatically selects the most common operating parameters
and can be operated without programming it. You should program the multiplexer if you
want to use different settings.
Programming of system, camera, and VCR setup; camera sequencing; and alarm and
activity detection are done through on-screen menus that are displayed on the main
monitor. A password can be enabled to prevent unauthorized access to the menus.
Programming of the picture-in-picture, and 4-, 9-, and 16-camera displays can be done
directly without going through menus.
Main and spot monitors respond to
programming instructions. If there
are multiple alarms/activity
detection, monitors will sequence
cameras. Monitors will return to
routine operation approximately 15
seconds after all activity detection
has stopped or after alarms have
timed out. In alarms/activity mode,
any alarm will take precedence and
override the camera being
displayed.
PASSWORD
You can program the multiplexer to request a password for access to programming menus.
The password is enabled in the Advanced System Setup menu (refer to the
System Setup [View Button]
The universal password is 3916 and cannot be changed. This password must be entered
by pressing the camera number keys whenever a password is requested.

NOTE:
Remember, one
multiplexer must be the
master. The default setting
is Master (KBD-T/D).
NOTE:
In the alarms mode,
an alarm signal is produced
when a remote switch opens
or closes a ground in the
multiplexer; for example, if a
switch is on a door and the
door is opened (refer to the
Alarms
section). In the activity mode, the multiplexer
continually monitors selected
camera inputs for motion.
When motion is detected,
the multiplexer increases the
frequency with which that
camera(s) is shown and recorded. Activity detection is
most effective when only a
few cameras are showing
activity (refer to the
section).
Setup
Camera
TRACK MAIN - The spot monitor will follow the camera switching that occurs on the
main monitor. This feature is used only when a KBD4000 keyboard is connected to the
multiplexer for controlling moveable cameras.
Camera Types
The COLOR & B/W setting allows the multiplexer to adapt to the combination of both
color and monochrome video signals. The switching speed of the multiplexer is not as
fast when it has to change formats between monochrome and color cameras. For
monochrome models, you will not receive color from a color camera except in
RECORD mode. The RESERVED setting can improve performance when using
cameras with non-standard sync or poor video quality.
Unit ID
This is the address of the multiplexer. If your system has more than one multiplexer,
each multiplexer must have its own address.
Comm. Type
If your system has an MX4000SVR Genex™ Multiplexer Server and/or a KBD4000
Genex™ Multiplexer Keyboard, one multiplexer (any one) must be the master. Only
one multiplexer can be the master. All other multiplexers must be slaves. The master
multiplexer communicates between the server and the slave multiplexers. If there is
only one multiplexer connected to a server, it must be the master. The KBD4000
keyboard communicates with the multiplexer only when the multiplexer is in its default
setting of MASTER (KBD-T/D).
Relay Output
Operates the relay on the back of the multiplexer. The relay is used to change the

• Select CUSTOM. Then go to CONFIGURE CUSTOM VCR and press the +/-
button to go to the Custom VCR Setup menu. The switch interval can be
changed only while in this setting.
VCR Video Format
Composite is standard video on a coaxial cable. SVHS is higher resolution video on a
special cable. This feature is not available on monochrome units.
VCR Switch Pulse
ENABLED means the multiplexer waits for a head switching pulse from the VCR. If the
multiplexer does not get a pulse from the VCR (because of a broken wire or the VCR
does not give a pulse in some modes), it may appear that the multiplexer is not
working properly.
DISABLED means the VCR head switching pulse is not used.

ACTIVITY MASK SETUP
Activity detection continually monitors selected camera inputs for motion. When motion is
detected, the multiplexer increases the frequency with which that camera(s) is shown and
recorded. Activity detection is most effective when only a few cameras are showing activity.
As the number of cameras with activity increases, the slower the frequency at which they
can be shown and recorded. If all 16 cameras show activity, there will be virtually no
increase.
The activity mask selects that portion or portions of the camera’s field of view that the
multiplexer will monitor for motion. The entire grid is active on default.
To program an activity mask for a camera:
1. Press the desired CAMERA button for approximately three seconds. The Camera
menu appears.
2. The currently selected menu item blinks. Use the arrow buttons to highlight SET
DETECTION MASK.
3. Press the +/- button. The Activity Mask appears.
4. The currently selected menu item or activity box blinks.
5. Use the arrow buttons to move between menu items and activity boxes on the screen.
6. Highlight the sensitivity menu item. Press the +/- button to select the sensitivity. The
higher the sensitivity is, the less the amount of motion that will be needed to detect
activity.

TROUBLESHOOTING
If you have difficulty operating your system, run through the following checklist to see if you
can solve the problem.
1. Are the keyboard switches set properly?
2. Is the equipment wired properly?
3. Are the menu options in the multiplexer(s) and server set properly?
4. Has the multiplexer been set to the correct mode using the DISPLAY/RECORD button?
5. The main monitor will display multiple screen images. The spot monitor displays full
screen views only.
6. SPOT MONITOR must be selected to operate presets, patterns, and auxiliaries.
7. Tape playback can be done only on the main monitor while in the VCR mode.
8. Moveable cameras must be Coaxitron® compatible and the proper Coaxitron® format
selected in the Camera menu of the multiplexer. If the proper format is not selected,
the camera will either not move or have sluggish control.
9. Moveable cameras can be operated with the joystick only if the spot monitor is programmed to track the main monitor or SPOT MONITOR is chosen. The camera will
move on the main monitor if the same camera is being shown on both the main and
spot monitors.
10. The position of switch 7 on the keyboard determines how you call cameras.
If the switch is ON, all cameras are addressed consecutively. Do not count just the
cameras installed. Count 16 camera inputs per multiplexer, even if a multiplexer has only
9 inputs. The first input of multiplexer 1 is always camera 1, the first input of multiplexer 2 is always camera 17, the second input of multiplexer 3 is always camera 34.
If the switch is OFF, cameras are addressed in groups of 9 or 16 according to the
address of the multiplexer. Select a multiplexer (for example, number 3), then choose
a camera (1-9 or 1-16).
11. If you have one multiplexer, it must be the master. If you have more than one
multiplexer, one of them (any one) must be the master and all the others slaves
(Advanced System Setup menu of multiplexer).
12. If you have more than one multiplexer, they must have different addresses (Advanced
System Setup menu of multiplexer).
13. If you have a server, the address of the multiplexer must correspond to the input it is
connected to on the server. For example, if the multiplexer goes to input 4 on the
server, the multiplexer must be address 4.
14. If you have a server, each keyboard must have its own address.
15. If you have a server, each keyboard controls its corresponding monitor(s). In the
SINGLE mode, keyboard 1 controls monitor 1, keyboard 2 controls monitor 2, etc. In
the PAIRED mode, keyboard 1 controls monitor 1 (main) and monitor 2 (spot), and
keyboard 3 controls monitor 3 (main) and monitor 4 (spot). In the paired mode,
keyboards 2 and 4 are not used.
16. If you have a server and cannot change between full screen and multiple screen views
on the main monitor, check the MAIN MONITOR CONTROL setting in the Monitor
menu of the server.
17. Adjust head tracking control on the VCR until the picture stabilizes if:
a. the picture appears jittery when multiplexer is in VCR playback mode, or
b. one camera view sequences out of order when the multiplexer is in multi-screen
VCR playback mode.

countdown. When the countdown has been completed, the Initialization Menu will
disappear, all programming menus will be at their default settings, and the multiplexer
will be ready for use.
