DESCRIPTION
WHAT IS A VIDEO MULTIPLEXER?
A four-channel (or quad) multiplexer lets you record pictures from up to four cameras on a
single VCR. You can also watch up to four cameras simultaneously on one screen, either
live or in playback. For closer detail, you can choose full-screen viewing without losing
detail (as occurs with “quad” devices that compress four pictures into one recording).
The multiplexer acts as an interface between the CCTV cameras and the VCR. It switches
between cameras much like a sequential switcher, except a multiplexer must switch at
exactly the same rate as the VCR is recording so just one video picture (field) is recorded
from each camera before it switches to the next camera. The reason is that, with several
cameras, you need to switch as quickly as possible to minimize the time gap between
successive pictures from a particular camera.
Recording can be done on regular or time-lapse VCRs. Time-lapse VCRs are similar to
regular VHS recorders except time-lapse VCRs can record as many as 960 hours of video
on a single T-120 (two-hour) VHS cassette. Even the lowest cost models have longer
recording times than a regular VCR.
If you connect one camera to a multiplexer and record at two-hour speed on a time-lapse
recorder, motion appears normal when you play the tape. But as you add more cameras to
the multiplexer, it must switch between cameras, allowing a gap in the pictures recorded for
any one camera. The more cameras, the longer the gap. Motion on playback becomes
jerky because of missing video.
Not only does the number of cameras affect the time gap, so does recording speed. The
slower the speed, the longer the gap. Normal recording speed for full motion is two-hour
mode. Recording 12, 48, or 960 hours of video on a two-hour tape means a lot of video is
left out.
Thus, the more cameras and the slower the recording speed, the longer the time gap
between recorded pictures for each camera. Also, having both black and white and color
cameras together in a system—rather than just one kind—slows switching. Important video
could be lost.
Pelco Manual C1995M-A (10/01)5
GENEX® SERIES MULTIPLEXERS
The MX4004 Genex® Series duplex multiplexers can accept video inputs from a maximum
of four cameras. You can work in any of four languages: English (default), French, German,
or Spanish.
These duplex multiplexers let you view multi-screen video while recording or playing tapes
using regular or time-lapse VCRs. MX4004 multiplexers do not record and play back
simultaneously.
•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 in a
four-camera format.
•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 all monitors.
There are four alarm inputs—one per camera—that tag the camera images when an alarm
is activated. You can program main and spot monitors to display alarms. Alarm inputs also
activate a relay output, which can be used to change a VCR to its programmed alarm
recording 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.

APPLICATIONS
NOTE:
The KBD4000,
KBD4002, and KBD4000V
keyboards in combination
with a multiplexer provide
Coaxitron control of pan, tilt,
and lens functions.
When used with 32-bit extended Coaxitron receivers,
such as Intercept®, Spectra®,
IRD/ERD2000 Series, and
LRD41C21/LRD41C22 Series, the KBD4000/KBD4002/
KBD4000V keyboard in conjunction with a multiplexer will
support all the functions of a
15-bit standard Coaxitron
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, program them with
a different control, such as
the MPT9500.
The MX4004 Genex Series lets you configure your system in various ways.
The simplest system is a stand-alone multiplexer (Figure 1). Just connect cameras,
monitors, a VCR, and alarm inputs. Front panel push buttons control the multiplexer.
By adding a KBD4000/KBD4002/KBD4000V keyboard to the multiplexer (Figure 2), you
can control 1-16 multiplexers from up to 25 feet (7.6 m) away with the cable supplied with
the keyboard. You can obtain greater distances between the multiplexer and the keyboard
by providing a Pelco KBDKIT(-X) and your own cable.
A keyboard also lets you control 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, add an MX4000SVR Multiplexer Server, as shown in Figure 3.
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.
If a true matrix configuration is necessary in which all operators can access a multiplexer, a
matrix switcher (such as Pelco’s CM6700) can be used. Refer to Figure 4. However, only one
multiplexer can be used. In this example, looped video is from individual cameras; video from
the main monitor can be either from individual cameras or from multiplexed cameras.

power should be wired in
phase to all cameras. When
cameras are sequenced,
they will roll on the spot
monitor if they are out of
phase. On the main monitor,
cameras are digitally time
corrected and will not roll

Figure 7. Camera Wiring Example
Video inputs can come from any conventional source. No external camera synchronization
is required. Table A shows the type of video coaxial cable to use.
To connect cameras (refer to Figure 7):
1.Connect the coaxial cables from your cameras or receivers to the IN connectors. If
you are using moveable cameras, the receivers must be Coaxitron compatible.
Stand-Alone Multiplexer – Connect fixed cameras to channel inputs.
Multiplexer with KBD4000/KBD4002/KBD4000V – Connect fixed or moveable
cameras to channel inputs.
Multiplexer with KBD4000/KBD4002/KBD4000V and MX4000SVR Server –
Connect fixed or moveable cameras to channel inputs.
Multiplexer with CM6700 – See step 2.
2.If you want to loop a video signal out to another device, connect coaxial cables from
the looping OUT connectors to the external equipment inputs. Termination for each
camera input at the multiplexer must be changed from 75 ohms to high impedance
through DIP switches on the rear of the multiplexer.
Multiplexer with CM6700 – Connect fixed or moveable cameras to the multiplexer
first, and then loop them to the CM6700 (refer to Figure 4). Termination for each
camera input at the multiplexer must be changed from 75 ohms to high impedance
through DIP switches on the rear of the multiplexer.

NOTE:
Skip this step if you
are connecting your multiplexer to an MX4000SVR or
to a CM6700 SCU.
Refer to Table A for the type of video coaxial cable to use.
Main Monitor – Connect the video input of your monitor to the multiplexer’s MAIN output
using standard BNC connector and coaxial cable. If your color monitor supports SVHS, you
can use a special SVHS cable between your monitor and the multiplexer.
Spot Monitor (Optional) – Connect your spot monitor to the SPOT output.

b.Connect VCR IN on the multiplexer to the video OUT on the VCR.
2.The multiplexer’s camera switching rate must match the VCR’s recording speed. Use
one of the two ways shown below:
Head Switching Pulse (VCR Switch Pulse)
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. (If you use this
method, you do not need to program the rate; however, you must set VCR Switch
Pulse to ENABLED + or ENABLED – [depending on whether the VCR sends a
positive or negative pulse to activate recording] in the Record Setup menu.) You can
pull the eight-pin plug-in terminal block out of the connector on the back of the
multiplexer to make wiring easier.
Refer to Figure 8 and connect the H (head switching) terminal and ground from the
multiplexer to the VCR.
Programming
You can synchronize the VCR and multiplexer by programming the multiplexer
switching rate to the VCR’s recording speed. No wiring is required. Refer to the
